Hi all, I'm having problems getting a kernel to write a crash dump on my Dell Optiplex under FreeBSD 5.3. I've set dumpdev="/dev/ad0s1b", set kern.sync_on_panic to 1, the dump device has enough space (1 Gig, physical RAM is 512M). When the kernel panics, it starts writing out a vmcore, but only gets to 2 blocks and then stops. Things work fine with my dual processor Tyan Tiger box. Anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong? Cheers, Gerald
