Fournier" To: current@freebsd.org Subject: Spontaneous Reboots... Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi... This afternoon, I plugged in a /kernel that had all the fixes that go with 'options JREMOD', and rebooted the machine. After returning to the machine after a period of time, I found the machine had rebooted itself, which I took to be a random thing, not really worried about it, considering that I am playing with a "non-stable" kernel, but for some reason, i couldn't get my ppp connection back up after it had rebooted. I mv'd back in the old kernel, that I had been running and rebooted the machine, after which I could get ppp back up, no problem. Again, after returning to the machine on a commercial, I found the machine once more rebooted, but, this time, I could get the ppp connection back up and running. Now, I've been running this machine for a few weeks now, with the only downtime being when I get a keybrd lockup, with about the only exception to that being getting a "panic: m_copydata" error and attempt to reboot, again, today. Right now, I'm not using a debuggable kernel (no core dumps or anything), mainly because I don't think I have enough room to store a core dump after a reboot on this machine, but I'm willing to try it out, if it will help. Oh, as well, my last looks like this for the machine, right now: hub# last scrappy ttyv1 Fri Dec 1 19:59 still logged in reboot ~ Fri Dec 1 19:56 scrappy ttyv1 Fri Dec 1 18:53 - crash (01:02) reboot ~ Fri Dec 1 18:53 shutdown ~ Fri Dec 1 18:50 scrappy ttyv1 Fri Dec 1 18:48 - shutdown (00:02) reboot ~ Fri Dec 1 18:19 scrappy ttyv1 Fri Dec 1 17:57 - crash (00:21) scrappy ttyv0 Fri Dec 1 17:56 - crash (00:22) reboot ~ Fri Dec 1 17:56 shutdown ~ Fri Dec 1 17:54 scrappy ttyv0 Fri Dec 1 17:53 - shutdown (00:00) reboot ~ Fri Dec 1 17:53 graham ttyp3 nudge.io.org Fri Dec 1 10:02 - 10:03 (00:00) wtmp begins Fri Dec 1 10:02 If this means anything...I find the entries of 'reboot' a litle disconcerting, since it was a crash, not a reboot, but I take it that that is normal?
