Did you ever find out what's going on with this? I'm interested
because I'm getting a very similar symptom now on a similar machine.
I'm running NetBSD 1.2 on a P133 with 32MB but with an EIDE drive.
My ethernet interface is an AMD PCnet32 PCI card.
About 5-6 days after a reboot, the box "freezes". I can ping it,
but no new processes can start. No panics, no messages, silence.
This has only started to happen after the box became a busy server.
It runs Samba (1.9.16p11) and Apache (1.2b8). But the last hang
occurred last night during a non-busy period (between 10:00pm and
11:00pm).
Any hints welcome!
