I'm at GMT+2, so most of your recent posts have been between 03:00 and 06:00 local time, while I was pushing ZZZZZZZZZZZs :) Once again, thanks for your interest in my problem. OK - there are a few things needing answers. 1) The Chipset. The MB is Asus A7N266-VM. Chipset is nVidia 220D North Bridge. The IDE Connectors are both UDMA 100/66 capable if I read the manual correctly. 2) The various back-traces at http://docs.perimeter.co.za/crash : the file names indicate the date and time of the crash. The _a, _b, etc are different attempts to run gdb or gdbmods on the same dump file. Other files are named to indicate how they were produced. 3) If you need any other info dumped in there just yell. 4) And crash #next happened at 06:30 local time this morning. I will work up the back trace right after I send this email. 5) Between the comments of all of you, I gather that now that I have Drew's gdbmods running nicely, there will be no need to build a fresh kernel. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 6) BTW Greg - Drew's script works great, and the bit about waiting does not take long at all - maybe 3 seconds! This is an Athlon 1700 of course, but still - that's about as quick as gdb was by itself. 7) Greg, the PR kern/41740 seems to relate to striped, and perhaps raid5 volumes. Mine are purely a mirror set. I just wanted to check with you before I go ahead that this is relevant. Thanks again folks. --- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. ___ _ __ / _ )__ __ (_)_ __ ___ _/ /____ __ / __/ -_) _) / ~ ) -_), ,-/ -_) _) /_/ \__/_//_/_/~/_/\__/ \__/\__/_/ http://www.perimeter.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
