The system does not reboot but hangs while dumping, so I uncommented the dump call in vm_machdep.c and recompiled the kernel. The problem I'm having now is to force a kernel panic so I can test the stuff I did. There's a function called "diediedie()" in machdep.c which seems to be designed just for that. However, since it's a kernel function, I have no clue how to call it. It's not defined in syscall.h either. Please help me by either telling me how to compile a program that calls diediedie() or cause a kernel panic by other means. Thanks. I'll keep investigating into the problems with dump'ing. -Sven -- Sven Neuhaus - sven@ping.de - Ping e.V. Admin Team - http://www.ping.de/~sven/ Welcome to hell. Here's your copy of Windows.
