Hmm... when it hung as it did before, pressing ctrl-alt-esc and typing trace gave: _scgetc(flags=2) at _scgetc+0x7 [../../i386/isa/syscons.c:3299] _scintr(unit=0) at _scintr+0x17 [../../i386/isa/syscons.c:847] Xresume1() at Xresume1+0x2b --- interrupt, eip=0xf01bfef7, esp=0xf3a22e4c, ebp=0xf3a2de88 --- _wdstart(ctrlr=1) at _wdstart+0x4af [../../i386/isa/wd.c:332] _wdintr(unit=1) at _wdintr+0x5de [../../i386/isa/wd.c:1284] Xresume15() at Xresume15+0x2b --- interrupt, eip=0xf01913ce, esp=0xf3a2defc, ebp=0xf3a2df68 --- vec15(f3a2df88) at vec15+0x2 _sched_sync() at _sched_sync+0xa4 [../../kern/vfs_subr.c:499] _kproc_start(udata=f01d8888) at _kproc_start+0x32 [../../kern/init_main.c:248] _fork_trampoline(e5641589,c766f01f,1fe56605,800008f0,1fe56825) at _fork_trampoline+0x30 I hope I copied it all correctly. If any of that makes no sense at all, or if anyone needs more info, I'll do anything else that's needed (within reason ). When I typed `panic', it wouldn't reboot: kept complaining about interrupt timeout on wd2, I think, and then assumed I was running a laptop because of too many timeouts. It never got as far as saving the core image, so I can't get that, unless someone's got some other bright idea...
