Hi, I've been talking to Chuck about this - if the panic is similar / the same as his, you won't get a crashdump - as it's happening too soon into the boot process... The only thing I could think of was to have a line similar to: config kernel root on XXX dumps on YYYY In the kernel config - Though LINT warns against this, it might be the only way of telling the system where to dump to - as it's panics so soon during boot... I'm hoping someone who knows more what there talking about will step in with "That's a good/bad idea" - and why... I seem to remember using the kernel config to specify the dump device, but that was from ages ago (2.2.2? :-) Regards, Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
