I have a VIA EPIA running OpenBSD 4.6. Since I installed it, It has had kernel panics from time to time. I have it running pf in front of a test lab. Every time it hangs, I have to go to that location to restart it. I believe it happens because of network load.
I know I can change OpenBSD to restart when it panics, but I will rather debug the panic and learn some OpenBSD on my way. Last time It happened I got this message: pool_do_get(mcl9k):free list modified: page 0xd1bdf000; I am not an expert user, but It looks like some memory is having trouble. I looked online and it said something about mbufs bad written. I am suspecting that I have some hardware issues, I guess related to network cards. I have read man crash, man ddb and others. But I am not really sure how to proceed on this. I am not a kernel developer, so moving over the stack and memory using ddb will give me no clue about what is going on. Do you think if I post the trace and other information on the lists I will get any help? any recommendations? Thank you very much for your time, Miguel
