Sorry for the noise... Disabling DDB from the kernel corrected the reboot issue. Unless I am misunderstanding how it is worded, it is unclear from the HTML docs that DDB overrides KDB_UNATTENDED. If I am misunderstanding, I apologize, but I'm more curious if I am experiencing unusual behavior with DDB enabled. -- Glen Barber http://www.dev-urandom.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/glenjbarber _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
