Hi, after 4 crashes in 1 hour without a panic I've got a trace, but it's a trace from a panic produced by "savecore". I didn't think the 4 crashes are related to this trace. I was only able to reboot after commenting savecore in /etc/rc. Btw. after aborting fsck (<ctrl>+<c>) I've got: fsck in free(): warning: page is already free. fsck in free(): warning: chunk is already free. The world (and kernel) is from a cvsup around Sunday 2am (CEST). ok, here's the trace: ---snip--- checking for core dump... panic: lockmgr: pid -2, not exclusive lock holder 173 unlocking Debugger("panic") stopped at Debugger+0x39: movl $0,in_Debugger db> trace Fatal trap 12: page fault ... fault virtual address = 0x2 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc021f080 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc02961d0 frame pointer = 0x10:0x6 code segment = base 0x0 limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0 current process = Idle interrupt mask = bio kernel: type 12 trap, code 0 ---snip--- dmesg (verbose output available): ---snip--- Copyright (c) 1992-1999 The FreeBSD Project.
