I'll do that a.s.a.p. Thanks. Very odd.... If I understand the web site correctly (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/kernelconfig.html) then my kernel is already compiled with debugging options. Here's the relivant line in my config file: makeoptions DEBUG=-g #Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols This is compiled into the current kernel. This kernel was the one involved with the kernel.3 and vmcore.3 dump files. Did I miss something?
