First, OpenBSD  is now at  3.1. Version 2.7 was released  a couple
years ago. I  understand that English isn't  your native language,
but your  note would seem  to imply  that your problems  have been
with version 2.7.   There's no support for versions  more than one
year old,  and there have  been an amazing number  of improvements
since 2.7. I'd  be really, really  surprised if the  panics you've
been experiencing haven't been  fixed. If they haven't, I'd *very*
strongly suspect faulty hardware. Please read:

And now, before  the flames get too hot, I've  just finished a bit
of a rant on netiquette. Mr. Morger, please let my response to you
come in the form of a URL:

Not all  of it is relevant  to your complaints, but  more than one
section is.

Those of you who feel inclined  to flame Mr. Morger, please take a
moment  to read  that paper  as  well. If you  think I've  covered
things  well enough  there, please  let the  matter drop  and move
along.

Sincerely,
