In the meantime, could you post the panic > message and backtrace, or at least the contents of /var/crash/info.1? Unfortunately I haven't written down the panic message (I thought that I could retrieve it using gdb when the sever crashed), so unfortunately the only thing useful I have right now is /var/crash/info.1: # cat info.1 Dump header from device /dev/ar0s1b Architecture: i386 Architecture Version: 16777216 Dump Length: 804519936B (767 MB) Blocksize: 512 Dumptime: Thu May 19 12:11:37 2005 Hostname: DrSweety-Server.Dr.Sweety.Lan Magic: FreeBSD Kernel Dump Version String: FreeBSD 5.4-RC4 #3: Sat May 7 10:09:11 CEST 2005 root@DrSweety-Server.Dr.Sweety.Lan:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DrSweety- Kernel Panic String: from debugger Dump Parity: 458902623 Bounds: 1 Dump Status: good Of course there is also vmcore.1 but this file is huge and I don't really want to post it somewhere available to the public as it might contain sensitive information. In case somebody might be interested in, I've put the output from dmesg, pciconf -l -v and the current Kernelconfig here: htt://drsweety.homeip.net/freebsd_hackers/ Ys, Aurel Bodenmann -- Weitersagen: GMX DSL-Flatrates mit Tempo-Garantie!
