See the FreeBSD Developers Handbook, section 15.1, for information on how to enable crash dumps and perform crash analysis. You can create a debug kernel by doing a "config -g KERNEL" instead of the normal "config KERNEL". -- Matt Emmerton ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Wiess" To: Sent: Friday, November 23, 2001 5:45 PM Subject: Problems with Dual Athlons > Hello all, > I've recently put together a dual Athlon system, and unfortunately so far I > have had nothing but problems running FreeBSD on it.
