Following on from my last attempt to get more information on why my box
keeps rebooting, it was suggested that the lack of panics was a function
of running  under X. Off list it was suggested I try remote debugging
via firewire, something I have now done.

The panic showed up in vm_map_entry_splay as a page fault. The function
was called following a trap 0xc.

I tried to get into gdb to get more information but it complained about
a lack of remote debuggers.

As I'm still new to the remote debugging thing does anyone have any
pointers/suggestions for how to extract more information next time it
crashes and what sort of information I should post?

Thanks,

david
