Sorry to bug you about this, but I _reallly_ need to get this machine back where I can depend on it. Reliably crashing once a day is not aceptabe and I've been working on it full time for several days, with no results ye= t. Following your advice, I wne to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, did config -g BLACK. Then I went to ../../compile/BLACK, and did make depend, make, make install. Then I put the following lines in /etc/rc.conf dumpdev=3D"/dev/ad0s1b" # Device name to crashdump to (or NO). dumpdir=3D"/usr/crash" # Directory where crash dumps are to be stored Then I ran "periodic daily" which relably panics my machine. The system did appear to write the kernel image to the sawp space. On the way up it said reboot after panic page fault, and wrote 3 files to /usr/crash. I've looked at the developers docs on runing the debuger, and also read over a message in the list that was just posted abbout this. Then I ran gdb -k and this is what I got.
