X-Mailer: VM 6.71 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In reference to the two crash dumps I've posted, the most interesting thing about them is that a non-debug kernel seems to be stable on the box. I can't really explain why, but we tried all kinds of things --- changing hardware... even exchanging whole guts of machines and those two examples of crashes persisted. Then in a fit of despairation, I recompiled the kernel w/o debug symbols and so far (touch wood) the machine has been stable. Now... the machine has 256M of memory ... so I wouldn't expect that kernel size *should* be an issue, but something is not right here.
