X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2004 13:33:38 -0000 Greetings, list! I've been running FreeBSD/amd64 5.3-STABLE happily for months now, and haven't had a problem. However, since recently installing gtk-gnutella, I've been experiencing freezes and lockups. When downloading stuff off of Gnutella and browsing the web, the system will just lock up and I will have to do a cold reboot (I hate having to do that). I can't switch to console to see what (if any) messages pop up, but I did some googling and came up with this: http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-current@freebsd.org/msg52964.html Apparently, the kernel paniced under heavy HTTP load, but the thread died just 5 posts deep with no real resolution. Has anyone else experienced this? Is my system even panicing (I wouldn't know, I don't have xconsole visible all the time, and Ctrl-Alt-Fx doesn't work)? What steps should I take to get to the bottom of this? I could rebuild with debugging, but where to start? Thanks in advance! -- Henrik W Lund
