Hello all,

Without a full dump are there any telltale signs from the panic message 
that can give me some sign of whether I'm dealing with a hardware or 
software issue?  I have a box that has been running 4.11-p10 for quite 
some time with no problems.  I upgraded a number of ports 
(apache/php/mysql) and since then I've had two panics.  Of course userland 
apps shouldn't cause this, but that's the only change I see.

I can't get a kernel dump since it fails like this each time:

dumping to dev #da/0x20001, offset 2097152
dump 1024 1023 1022 1021 Aborting dump due to I/O error.
status == 0xb, scsi status == 0x0
failed, reason: i/o error

The meat of my question though, what are these lines telling me:

(panic 1)
instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xc028b053
stack pointer           = 0x10:0xe138eefc
frame pointer           = 0x10:0xe138ef2c

(panic 2)
instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xc028b053
stack pointer           = 0x10:0xe138eefc
frame pointer           = 0x10:0xe138ef2c

Are those physical memory addresses where the code that caused the panic 
resides?  If so, does that point to bad RAM?

Thanks,

Charles

Here's more info if anyone is curious:
