 As hard as this event is for you -- but your bug report is nothing
 that can be handled.  You've only sent out your frustration, but not
 even _a single_ bit of related information (was it a SCSI bus hang?,
 what drives do you have?  what filesystems at all?).  So i'm afraid
 there's nothing in the system we could really fix based on this
 report, so we will eventually only be able to close it as it stands
 now.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

 Sorry...everything's IDE.
 /dev/wd0 [primary, first] was a 4GB EIDE HDD
 [secondary, first drive] was a ATAPI CDROM.
 
 No idea why it hung, but it was a full hang, nothing worked, even the
 keyboard LEDs didn't respond.
 
 have the default /, /var, /usr filesystems.  Never hung on me /w 2.1.6 or
 2.2.1 for months then everything's gone...I was a little weird, sorry.
 
 Thanks,
