I beg your kind consideration of my problem. As the subject indicates, my box has become terribly unstable since I cvsup'd to 4.6.2-RELEASE on Sunday 18/08/2002. I have had some pointers on the -questions list, but the help has dried up since I posted the output of gdb. Perhaps you folks on this list will be better equipped to respond. I have rebuilt the kernel with debugging enabled, and have run gdb on the last two crashes. This is the first time ever I am using gdb or anything like it, so my digging is very superficial. I will do whatever additional things might be needed if anyone will just push me in the right direction. gdb from crash 0 : http://docs.perimeter.co.za/crash/20020821_2230_a gdb from crash 1 : http://docs.perimeter.co.za/crash/20020822_0905_a As at this time the box has managed to stay up for just over a day. # uname -a FreeBSD obelix.perimeter.co.za 4.6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE #7: Wed Aug 21 12:11:11 SAST 2002 peri@obelix.perimeter.co.za:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/obelix i386 # uptime 10:21AM up 1 day, 1:19, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 # I am a little hesitant to submit a PR until someone more experienced indicates that I should be doing so. Perhaps the problem here is something I did ?!? Thanks in advance.
