Since I have the kernel dump I can give more [...] It's happened again doing the same thing. I've installed a newer kernel with the debugging options following Kris Kennaway's advice. The new kernel (which I compiled a while ago but never installed) is: FreeBSD number6.magda.ca 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #3: Wed Mar 17 16:24:30 EST 2004 dave<at>number6.magda.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNELE i386 Here's the output of starting gdb and of running 'bt': number6:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNELE# gdb -k kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.6 GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The tapes are kind of old so I though I'd run one more backup on them for archival purposes before putting in new ones. Anything else I can do to help things out?
