I added DDB yesterday and installed the kernel. I went by the FAQ, which didn't mention makeoptions DEBUG=-g. So I'll add that and remake/reinstall. Thanks. I did just get another panic, same thing, but it put me on a DB> prompt that the FAQ didn't mention. From that prompt, there was no "boot" or "dmesg" command, a couple of the commands I see mentioned here often. Scoured the FAQ again and found I should have typed "panic" (instead I had typed "gdb" (said I had no gdb port enabled) and then "continue" which did another panic. After that, another "continue" resulted in a dump (should be on the swap partition since I did point dumpdev to that in rc.conf). But this account of what I did probably won't help unless anyone reading this is interested in debugging the FAQ ;-). Next time I'll know to use "panic" instead of "continue" at the DB> prompt. In the meantime I'll stop my work and build my kernel again! BTW, I should emphasize two points: 1) My work is putting this system under a lot of stress. Probably several times more stress than something like make world. 2) On previous releases of FreeBSD, with the same work load, things worked fine. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
