Hooking up a serial console can be a good way to catch this. Finally! No serial console but it is crashing right now (with the updated BIOS installed) and I see it is dumping to the dumpdev and the screen is filling up with stuff :) So.. I will RTFM at the URL below a couple of times and see if I can't get you guys something useful ASAP. >>>When you encounter a panic, the useful >>>thing to do is to obtain a debugging traceback, as described in the >>>developers handbook. >>> >>> http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html >>> >>>Your bug report will be more useful the more relevant details you can >>>provide about it.

Sorry to post all over the place here without waiting for replies on the others first but as soon as I get the "boot -v" mystery solved and figure out what else I should send. And, as soon as I hear back, or figure out myself which RAID controller update to apply, I will run the kernel again until it crashes. Thanks again for all the help. Rick
