Hi,
My IPX , used for dial up , gateway etc , for home network,
has developed a habit of spontaneously rebooting for no
apparent reason. Random times. Sometimes it stays up for
2 minutes and sometimes it stays up for 7 hours. There doesn't
seem to be anything that prompts it. There is no time for
a message to be written to syslog. Sometimes it doesn't come
back and I have to cycle the power switch. I removed all the
scsi bus external cdrom drives , tape drives etc just to test
but it still happens. I have stock standard netbsd 1.5.2 .
Also: I've had 2 power supplies die in this box.

Has anyone heard of this before?
How do I diagnose the fault?

Thanks v much in advance,
Paul.
