:hi there,
:i have got a problem with a router running FreeBSD 3.4-REL:
:Every three days or so it hangs, whiche means that the console is not
:responding any more, open tcp ports don't respond == are timing-out just
:like they're filtered. I guess the machine is just unable to start a
:shell. Oh and well it is appearently able to route as the machines behind
:it are reachable, and it does repond to pings.
:Which brings me to my question:
:okay this sounds like a hardware problem, but what could it be, the board
:, the memory. If anyone here has seen something similar i'd be glad if you
:could help me.
:
:regards,
: Stefan Schmidt
Sounds like a kernel bug to me. If you can compile and install a kernel
with DDB enabled, you should be able to ctl-alt-esc it on the console
when it hangs, then from the DDB prompt do a 'trace' command and a 'ps'
command and maybe we can figure out why it hung from that.
