Forgot to add, try toggling the value of debug.minidump.

You might also want to try dumping in the debugger to see if the
infrastructure you have is able to work at all. Break to the debugger
(Ctrl-Alt-Esc at the console, or whatever you need to do for a serial
terminal) and then at the prompt type:

call doadump(0)

If it works, you can then just type 'reboot' and make sure that
savecore can do its job.


hope this also helps,

Doug
