Fournier" To: current@freebsd.org Subject: Narrowing down the problems...need help Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Evening... Seems the problems I've been experiencing haven't necessarily been a SCSI bus hang (apologies all around!)...last nights and tonights 'hangs' have been a result of a "panic: page fault". The reason that it didn't reboot is, at this time, undetermined, but it tried. When I got to the office, the monitor was completely blank, as if it tried, but failed, to reboot. Hitting the reset button seems to reset that. Now, onto the panic itself. When all this started, I decided to make a go at a debug kernel again, so I have a core dump, but trying to do a GDB on it results in: quagmire# gdb kernel.gdb vmcore.4 GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it under certain conditions; type "show copying" to see the conditions. There is absolutely no warranty for GDB; type "show warranty" for details. GDB 4.13 (i386-unknown-freebsd), Copyright 1994 Free Software Foundation, Inc... "/var/crash/vmcore.4" is not a core dump: File format not recognized (gdb) quit quagmire# which gdb /usr/bin/gdb quagmire# ls -l /usr/bin/gdb -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 708608 Oct 21 02:19 /usr/bin/gdb quagmire# I'm going to go and recompile gdb again, in case it has something to do with that...but if its something else I'm not aware of, please let me know, as I'd like to get this problem fixed :( Thanks...
