At first I thought it was just the result of issues with X after the system lost power mid install. Now it seems its just getting worse and worse. I've cvsupd' up to yesterday morning. But I now see more and more .core's being generated, and even saw : /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico: Shared object has no run-tim e symbol table when I tried to get a uucp session going. I did get it one or two other times on other programs. Where do I start? I'm getting frustrated enough to re-install, but this only was installed 2 months ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Then... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since then, I reformatted, and installed 4.8-RC2 and rebuilt everything from the ground up (Ports wise, NOT system). That was 2 weeks ago, and since then not 1 X lockup, no unknown core files, and *1* reboot (Suprisingly less than 24 hours after starting SETI@HOME). Could there have just been a bad file or something that just tripped me up and it took a fresh install to clear it out? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, it just did it a second time. THIS TIME, I have a savecore from it. Page fault. I've never worked with savecore on FreeBSD... Is there some guide/ place/procedure to analyze it? Thanks, Tuc/TTSG Internet Services, Inc.
