I'm trying to get a dump, by telling it to panic once it gets into the debugger.

That's what I expected it to do, but it doesn't. I've set dumpon to dump the kernel to the swap of the boot IDE disk. It's not really a fast disk, but should be able to write 16meg per minute??? > The more important question: Anybody having the same problems? > > Who knows? You need to report more of what is happening. I've given > you details of what I need already. And it looks like last nights amanda run did not crash in dump, although the tape was not big enough.... So I'll retry running it against /dev/null and see what that does... No use in chasing after an event I cannot reproduce. --WjW
