I have no output whatsoever. The machine is frozen by any disk-related activity. Last time I got one (Nov 19th sources), the X screen saver was still working (like someone else) and then when I tried to do something involving the disk, freeze. I was able to switch from X11 to a virtual console then total freeze. DDB doesn't seem to help (i.e. no debugger call). I want to help you but it is difficult :-( My Nov, 6th kernel is fine (see below). Sources from a few hours before, probably between end of Nov, 5th and beginning of Nov 6th (Pacific time). -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #7: Mon Nov 6 21:08:06 MET 1995
