Any ideas? This has only started > occurring in the past 2 days with freshly supped kernels each night. I have same problem. WHat I did: downloaded current src/sys/* (late 3-21/early 3-22) downloaded current src/sbin/config/* (midday 3-22) copied src/sys/sys/* /usr/include/sys built & installed config config GENERIC; make depend; make mv kernel /kernel.x ln kernel.x kernel halt (reset) What happens: after approx. 2-3 minutes the system wedges. I think it is related to routed, ie, it happens when the default route goes away. With my configuration the default route goes away after several minutes (always been a problem for me, even with my old BSDI system. I am used to doing a manual "route add default xxx" several minutes after any reboot. If anyone knows a solution..., but I digress) Anyways, my intuition said default route so I rebooted, started a ping to this box from annother, then did a manual "route delete default" and the system wedges. The ping on the other box stops at that instant. I can still ALT-FN to other vttys but they don't respond to keystrokes. I repeated this experiment 3 times, always same result. BTW, I updated to be able to run gdb on the restore/4mmDAT panic problem. This new kernel DOESN'T panic, but gives a message about sense failure, if only kernel would stay up long enough to do something... Steve Passe smp@clem.systemsix.com
