On a related note to my post just now about the new rig - this problem eventually came back a few weeks later but we were in the middle of a move and having a new baby so I did not have time to mess with it - just had to suffer a long time! I ended up buying a used rig from a buddy that was cast-offs for him but a sweet upgrade for me! Finally got around to trying it out - moved my hard drives over to it and it booted right up and the only issue was the network as per my other email just now. Otherwise working great and the hangs have gone away in the short term. I'll report back in this thread in a few days to let you know if they are gone for good. New-to-me system has 8 SATA ports - wheeee! :-) On Sun, Jan 13, 2019 at 10:13 AM Alan McKay <alan [ dot ] mckay [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com> wrote: > > > Well I'm at a loss here- the problem appears to have gone away but I have no real explanation.
