Ok, so maybe I spoke too soon earlier when another person on the list
bashed NetBSD for not being stable :)

I put in another disk, one that I know works pretty good otherwise.

I got another crash today, when I was doing a build of php5 and I was
ftp'ing some data off the Qube. Here's some output:

db> bt
r5k_pdcache_wb_range_32+60 (cb72fe20,cb7303e0,5ea,5ea) ra 801da6bc sz 0
801da60c+b0 (cb72fe20,cb7303e0,5ea,5ea) ra 0 sz 0
User-level: pid 13774.1

And the end of the dmesg:

root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
root file system type: ffs
trap: TLB miss (load or instr. fetch) in kernel mode
status=3D0x2403, cause=3D0x8008, epc=3D0x801d50a4, vaddr=3D0xcb730000
pid=3D13774 cmd=3Dftpd usp=3D0x7fffcd10 ksp=3D0xcb75fb08
db>

I'll see if I can get the crash to go to the dump device and go from there.

Thanks for any help. I'll start searchign on this stuff in the morning.
