I posted separately about what I found with the panic problem, at least as much as I could without being able to get the dump. It's not all that useful, without all the context from teh dump itself. I wanted this to concentrate on getting me the dump, not analysis of something I can't get yet. I'm greedily waiting on advice on how to force the dump. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
