My friend down here who also has this problem is going to get DDB set up to work with the serial console, which means when it happens to him next, he'll have all the info necessary to figure this out. I was thinking that perhaps I was not the only one to notice this yet, and if someone else did they could find out more. I'm not looking for a psychic; I'm trying to find the problem by letting other people know that when it happens to them, they aren't the only ones, and shouldn't brush it off if possible... > - Jordan > > P.S. My -current box from April 6th has yet to do anything like this. It's occurred on UP machines only that I know of, and I know only of these two specific reports. There's more in common, such as use of softupdates, invariants, ATA, and other kernel options. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
