The last week I have had several spontaneous crashes. So I've followed some advice (compiling the kernel with 'makeoptions DEBUG=-g' and activating savecore). Now, I've got some core-images, but since I'm not a programmer I really don't know what to do with them. Tried following some of the steps outlined in developers-handbook but I just got some errors, eg.: root:/sys/compile/MEKANIX$ gdb -k GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
