      I had no issues with hangs or instability so far. No reboot or anything for two weeks flat, since my post on October 30th, actually.

      Load on my box is probably low - WAN speed is 100MBit/s and I have seen a maximum of 80.000 states or so. Well, squid taxes the CPU a bit, but the box is still not driven to the limits. The HD is an SSD - some WD "Green" 100GB thingy. RAM are two KVR16LS11/8 (giving me 16GB in total), which seems to test nice and stable with memtest x86 and the NIC is a "10Gtek® für Intel E1G42ET, Intel 82576 Chip Gigabit Ethernet Konvergierter Netzwerkadapter (NIC), Dual RJ45 Kupfer Ports, PCI Express 2.0 X1" (currently sold out at German Amazon). I have disabled the onboard Realtek NIC in the BIOS and only use the two Intel ports from the add-on board. There are some rumors that Realtek actually has a stable driver for the NIC, but the default driver in most (or all) FreeBSD kernel versions appears to have stability issues, so I didn't start experimenting around and went for the Dual Intel path right away.

        Hi,
        same problem of post #18 here on J3455M-E mobo; I was doing a fresh install because upgrading from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1 through the web console brought to an increase of load average always over 1.
        Up to now the only solution was to install 2.3.4 version and wait for a solution on something that seems related to the last kernel.

        J3455M-E Asus motherboard
        8gb ram (2x 4gb Micron MT8JTF51264AZ-1G6E1)
        128Gb SSD
        Kolink Satellite midi tower case micro-atx
        quad lan card HP NC364T
