X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2009 04:25:43 -0000 I'm trying to figure out a strange panic issue (see: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-July/201842.html). The problem is I generally need to run it overnight in order to reproduce it. By the time I get back to it, the machine has auto-rebooted, losing precious info in ttyv0. I cannot simply analyze a dump because the dump fails (see other thread for that info - possibly a separate issue). I am working on getting the dump to succeed, but in the meantime: Is there a way to turn off the auto-reboot behavior? I found this link: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=438372 But it is about turning it *on* and is somewhat old. Is there a way to change the behavior without recompiling the kernel? Thanks -John
