If you want help with this kind of problem, you need to supply evidence. Otherwise people won't bother to help. We don't even know what version of FreeBSD you're talking about here. In general, if you get a panic, you need to provide a dump to find out what's going on. For it to be any use, you should ensure that you have a kernel with debugging symbols. There used to be a section on this in the handbook, but I can't find it any more. There's stuff in the upcoming edition of "The Complete FreeBSD", but it won't be out soon enough to help you, so I've put a condensed version up at: http://www.lemis.com/texts/panic.txt (ASCII) http://www.lemis.com/texts/panic.ps (PostScript) http://www.lemis.com/texts/panic.pdf (PDF) This is pretty rough, but it should give you an idea of what to do. If you find anything wrong with the text, please let me know. Don't count on a dump being enough. Check your log files for any messages which might help. And remember, the more work you do to help people help you, the more likely you are to get help. Greg -- When replying to this message, please take care not to mutilate the original text.
