(One of them is still not up; it sounds like it's requiring me to get to the console to fix the root fs.) Unfortunately I'd forgotten to set dumpdev in rc.conf on them, so I have nothing to analyze as yet. I've done "dumpon" and set dumpdev for the next boot, but making the assumption that I get a good crash dump if this recurs, should I be able to find the unstripped kernel somewhere on the build system? If it makes a difference, I'm no longer using custom kernel options, just sticking with GENERIC or SMP. I'm just wanting to be able to provide some useful info if this happens again. (It's a bit disappointing in that at the point I'd upgraded them, they'd run for over 350 days since last restart in 4.8x, and they didn't make it to one month in 6.2.) -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services
