I am new to the mailing list and working newly on the FreeBSD platform. I have some query regarding the kernel dump which i am trying to decode. #0 doadump (di=0xc0baca40, live_dump=0) at ../../../../../src/bsd/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:444 #1 0xc0593b32 in boot (howto=260) at ../../../../../src/bsd/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:531 #2 0xc0593fe3 in panic (fmt=0xc0af61cc "%s: nhindex %u could not be allocated\n") at ../../../../../src/bsd/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:897 I need help in understanding what is function doadump? what role it plays in FreeBSD. And what do i interpret from the output above. Any link which could help understand more on this and how decode kernel dumps should be useful. Thanks Regards Abhijeet.C
