Hi Greg
Well I for one am having almost the exact same problem. At first I thought it
was cheap memory, then when it happend again, I had to deeply paddle up hill
with my new manager who swears SUNs rule, what are we doing with FreeBSD...
I have now turned on the kernel debugger (incorrectly the 1st time) so if it
dumps again I should have a copy ( I have never used it before) The dumps are
happening more regularly now, but it seems to be happening after abt 6-8 hours
of use to me depending on load.
I know I would apprecciate some help. I am using this system to test the new
Inktomi port of their Traffic Server software and I hate to have to back rev to
3.1-stable some time from what my boss keeps calling 3.2 not so stable
My System is
K6-III 400 384 Megs memory Adaptec 2940U2W card and 6 IBM LVD drives with an
Intel pro/100 Ethernet card.
