Hello

I'm having a few problems with a server.  It's getting kernel panics 3-4
times a week, unfortunately, the server is at a remote POP and I can't get
to it right when it happens.  I cvsup'ed and recompiled the kernel and
system, and made sio0 the console (flags 0x30).

After waiting a couple of days for the crash, here's what I got:

panic: malloc: lost data
mp_lock = 01000001; cpuid = 1; lapic.id = 00000000
boot() called on cpu#1

syncing disks... 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 35 
giving up on 31 buffers
Uptime: 2d19h56m19s
mly0: flushing cache...done
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
Rebooting...

This is the only one I've logged so far.  Another problem seems to be that
sometimes logged messages are chopped to the first one or two characters on
the serial console, like:

Mar 18 18:32:50 test /kernel: arp: x.x.x.x moved from 00:c0:05:04:28:72
 to 00:c0:05:04:16:00 on fxp0

MMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMar 18 18:52:00 radius[19913]: unix_pass: password
for <x
x> failed

The serial console is configured at 115200, the serial port works fine for
other purposes.  No hardware changes have been made to the machine for
several months now.  The box is a dual PIII  (Asus CUR-DLS, serverworks
chipset).

Basically I have two questions:

What can cause this kind of kernel panic?
Why are the log messages being chopped?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
