Hi, I have some further information that might be of some use, and also points me to a cause of this bug.
I saw the following information on the system console when I looked at the screen before rebooting th machine: Cannot dump. No dump device defined. Automatic reboot in 15s - press any key to abort Rebooting... cpu_reset called on cpu#0 cpu_reset: stopping all other CPUs panic: APIC: Previous IPI is stuck cpuid=0 boot() called on cpu#0 Uptime@: 21h2m31s Cannot dump. No dump device defined. Automatic reboot in 15s - press any key to abort Rebooting... cpu_reset called on cpu#0 cpu_reset: stopping all other CPUs panic: APIC: Previous IPI is stuck The fix mentioned earlier in this thread (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ERRATA/notices/FreeBSD-EN-05:03.ipi.asc) talks about IPI and says under heavy load a kernel panic was caused...I guess building a kernel was a heavy enough load and I think this panic is what is occuring. I will try patching my sources with CVSup and recompiling the kernel. Thanks for all your help, Alex J Burke. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
