6.1-RELEASE / 6.2 Kernel Crash...

[Tim McCullagh]

Hi Jan

I had to edit the loader.conf  in all my newer Tyan MB based systems  6.0 
6.1 releases   4.11 worked fine
That didn't stop the SMP working as far as I know

I suspect there is a hardware compatibility issue with the Tyan boards and 
FreeBSD 6.0 6.1 releases,   I have been using Tyan boards for years without 
any trouble, however I will probably now move to Intel server boards.  I 
will need to test one first of course

Did it fix it for you.?  I just checked an the last system I had trouble 
with and it has now been up for 36 days without any issues.  Before I 
changed that, the system would not boot or if it did it would crash within 
an hour

Regards

Tim
