Well, if you don't know much about kernel debugging, it's always best to start with the section about kernel debugging in the handbook. :) I've answered these questions quite too often in the past, and thus decided to better write it down there. ;-) I'm still waiting on someone (was it Doug?) who promised to contribute the part about LKM debugging...

No need to flood filesystems with coredumps. /var/crash/minfree is your friend (and now finally works since FreeBSD 2.2). Could i hint you again to RTFM? :^) (minfree is documented.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
