Interestingly, I am not able to duplicate the pegged CPU on b5+ with my 4801. It gets kind of high (40ish % during 3mbit down and ~5kbit up) but it's not at 100% the way others have described. Also, after having moved back to b6 for a while, I went to b7 again and mine is no longer locking up. I can't think of any logical reasons for this though... --Braden > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Buechler [mailto:cbuechler at gmail dot com] > Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 12:09 PM > To: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch > Subject: Re: [m0n0wall] 1.2b7 lockups on Soekris 48xx > > On Mon, 28 Mar 2005 16:41:58 +0200, Frederick Page > <fpage at thebetteros dot oche dot de> wrote: > > > > >>Might be indeed a temperature issue, the Bios freezes the machine > > >>according to docs, when temperature gets too high.
