Hi all I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on Intel P4 3.0GHz, 512MB Ram computer. Its very irritatingly hangs very frequently, more than 10 times a day. Do others find FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE always hangs? I simply cannot use it for any serious use, not even to send a mail, other than browsing web. I find it mostly when I try to move the mouse it hangs. Upward and downward cursor keys press and hold also hangs, but not always. These may be just coincidental. How do I find why it hangs? How is the stability of the upcoming 7.0?

I'd first look into hardware, testing memory, testing the power supply, and checking CPU/chipset temperatures as they have often contributed to problems similar to what you are describing. 6.2 has been working extremely well for me with no stability issues that weren't related to hardware problems. -Proto

How do I find why it hangs?http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html should help you how to start finding out why :)> How is the > stability of the upcoming 7.0? >You should try it on your hardware and see how it will perform. it can be more stable .. or less :) but it have to be faster :)> Best Regards > Unga > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Be a better sports nut!
