[nycbug-talk] [OT] FreeBSD 5.4 crashing?

[Dan Casey]

I had a bitch of a time with my FreeBSD 5.3 box. all types of random
stuff was happening.. Some programs would core dump randomly for no
reason. Rebooting the computer would actually lock it up instead of
shutting it down all the way.. Disabling hyperthreading fixed a few of
the problems Disable ACPI fixed everything else.
