You may recall that I reported a few crashes with the 2.2.6-RELEASE and sent in tracebacks... but the kernel was not config'd -g so there was little info in the tracebacks. I promised to build a DEBUG kernel and report my findings. Well - after a week or two, I have little to report. It seems that the machine is still mysteriously crashing, but now I don't get anything in /var/crash. I just had the opportunity to see first-hand this happen; I was working and suddenly - "poof" away things went. On the reboot - savecore issued the message "savecore: no core dump". That is; the machine apparently just rebooted - no panic or nothing... Has anyone else experienced mysterious, non-panic reboots? This is while in X, and didn't seem to happen with the 2.2.5-RELEASE. Perhaps there's something in the X code (Matrox Millenium II card) that's causing this spontaneous reboot... - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
