But you can't see it or do anything, since X has control of the graphics and kbd, so it looks like the machine is frozen. Try adding options DDB_UNATTENDED to your config. Or just do sysctl debug.debugger_on_panic=0 Both of these have the same effect: they will prevent ddb from stopping the panic. Make sure you have a dump device setup to capture a crashdump. Drew

When panics happen ( and they have ) I get the message on the screen. Also this problem has been happening both with X running and not. Just in case I'll go ahead and try your suggestion but . . .
