Of course, this is pretty far from scientific troubleshooting, especially when it crashes at random times. It's also highly undesirable to cripple the machine, considering it's a production box. I just need to know if pmap_entry really does have anything to do with physical ram, before I go off on a ram swapping goose chase, just to find out a month down the road the problem isn't fixed. -- Mahlon Smith InternetCDS http://www.internetcds.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
