I saw those posts today, but DEFAULTS don't appear to have the regular WITNESS / INVARIANTS entries either.., Moot at this point, though, as the host is now unable to do much more than sit there - keeps panicking whenever I try to build a custom kernel, or even cvsup a fresh source (using either standard-supfile, or stable-supfile) :-( > > My system (recently installed from 6.0-RC1 CD's) doesn't have the changes > yet.

I have a think about what I can do here.., I've attached info.0 from the crash dir, if anyone cares to look at it, please.
