Try disabling sync-on-panic. It almost always causes problems for me when trying to get dumps. % cat /etc/sysctl.conf kern.sync_on_panic=0 If you are running a newer version of FreeBSD with the DDB_TRACE options, you want to enable DDB and DDB_TRACE. This will get you a stack trace on console, which is a heck of a lot better than nothing if your crashdumps don't work. options DDB #Enable the kernel debugger options DDB_TRACE Sometimes I have problems getting a dump on 5.x if I've dropped into ddb, so I use the following to prevent the system from dropping to a DDB prompt at panic: options DDB_UNATTENDED Drew _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
