During AC drop, if the unit's retention mechanism is not doing its job correctly, a reboot is possible. You should either try replacing your power supply or have a qualified technician examine yours for you. If it's a kernel panic, you can use dumpon and savecore to obtain a crash dump of the system, then you can do some debugging by backtracing the image you get. The handbook discusses this in detail and also recommends using a debug kernel to do this. Then it's relatively trivial to hack around a bit and thrash together a patch for the problem. Just toy around a little and see what you come up with. ===== Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2001 13:14:58 -0400 From: "Jae Carlson" To: "FreeBSD" Subject: Rebooting Message-ID: <004501c12352$5ca93cd0$010aa8c0@enkil> Greetings, I am wondering why my FreeBSD box keeps rebooting like every 12 hours or so. It is annoying any and all help appreciated. Jae -- This message has been sent via an anonymous mail relay at www.no-id.com.
