Hi all,

I recently upgraded my 8.2-RELEASE box to 9.0-RELEASE using the old-fashioned 
cvsup way. I've run into a really strange situation.

Everything went smoothly with the upgrade. I then deleted all my installed 
ports and started reinstalling. I noticed the problem when trying to compile 
openjdk6.

The box would spontaneously reboot. All the time.

So, I put the following into /etc/rc.conf. I'll repost here, it's entirely 
possible I did something wrong:

dumpdev="/dev/ada0s1b"  # Device to crashdump to (device name, AUTO, or 
NO).
dumpdir="/usr/crash/"    # Directory where crash dumps are to be stored

I made sure /usr/crash was created and had permissions wide open. Yet, I never 
got any crash dumps (I recreated the reboot several times over.)

I tried compiling a GENERIC kernel; that failed as well. So I got the DVD iso, 
and copied over the /boot/kernel directory from it. 

Once I did that, i was able to compile a new GENERIC kernel no problem. (I 
need to take out the pcn driver; I need le and pcn jumps it.) 

With the slightly-modified GENERIC kernel, the problem has disappeared. I've 
compiled openjdk no problem. I tried recompiling my custom kernel and 
reinstalled it; the problem reappeared.

I've attached my kernel config file; there's nothing revolutionary about it. 
It's almost identical to the one I used for 8.2-RELEASE, but based on the new 
9.0 GENERIC.  Maybe someone here will find it useful.

A cc would be appreciated as I don't follow -stable.

Cheers,
DMK
