FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE running on a PII-400 with 128 MB RAM, the June 6 snapshot of INN 2.3, no overchan etc. The machine doesn't crash that hard since there are no readers and only a very small (real) feed. The machine responds normally, it only leaves the innd process in `D' state. When I try to reboot the system (for the process is both dead and unkillable) the machine doesn't get any further than "Syncing disks... done" (should be followed by "Rebooting" and a reboot). I forced a panic and have a crash dump with full debugging symbols. The innd process's WCHAN entry is `vmpfw' - no clue what _that_ is... If anybody wants more information I'll be more than happy to provide it if I am able to do so. Thanks, -- Niels.
