What address, and where it happens. If your kernel have debug support then type bt at ddb prompt. And send output (in format you prefer: picture, textdump, output from `kgdb /boot/kernel /var/crash/vmcore`) On GENERIC kernels vmcore.X file should be generated. Do you have dupdev and dumpdir defined in rc.conf and is dumpdev swap device? You really need kernel with DDB, GDB ... > If I did something wrong, or I can provide you with some more information - > please let me know, what would you like me to send you (and how to get it). I really need more information to help you. -- Paul B Mahol
