Hi All, I've just put my system finally through a few busy hours and I'm now running -current as of 11am 10/04/98... The upgrades etc. went OK - but now I'm getting kernel traps when I push the disks... I'm trying to setup a serial console to capture the panics, but I'm not having much luck... I've set si0 to have flags of 0x20, and I boot with '-h' (by doing echo "-h" >/boot.config) - I also have options DDB and DDB_UNATTENDED in my kernel config, as well as CONSPEED=57600... When booting I get the usual '>> FreeBSD BOOT @ ...' messages sent to the serial port, but they stop just after the system says 'entry point=0x100000'. When the system panics, it's only shown on the VGA console not the serial one... Am I missing something? - I've tried looking through the handbook, and FAQ briefly - I don't have easy access to a web browser or even Pine at the moment though... I was under the impression I would be able to do things like take the machine to single-user mode and then do my 'make installworlds' from my main workstation (via the serial port) instead of having to go visit the machine? Anyway - good work by all the ELF/CAM & support people, apart from the occasional panic's under extreeme load, the system is up, working - and on the whole not complaining too much... ;-) Regards, Karl ps. If I can't get the serial side working I'll get a pen and paper the next time the system panic's... ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
