I swapped out disk controllers with a Adaptec ISA controller and it still hangs. I havn't been able to get through a make world in the src tree since I switched from a 486dx50 - opti chip set to the 100 mhz pentium with the triton chip set. It almost seems pci bus related but I have no idea. I have now disabled the external cache and I am trying the make world again... It is a lot slower... Is there a method of forcing a crash dump in FreeBSD? Once I get a hang I would like to reset and dump the memory to see what it is up to. Is there any way of doing this? -Jim
