I hate following up my own post, but I manages to get some significant information.
The console (previously inaccessible after the crash) was "on screen" for the last event and I get the the following: FAILURE - malloc ATA request failed cannot allocate ATAPI/CAM request (cd0:ata1:0:0:0): out of memory, freezing queue. FAILURE - malloc ATA request failed ad0: FAILURE - out of memory in start (These two lines repeat 15 times) panic: kmem_malloc(4096): kmem_map too small: 216326144 total allocated Debuggger("panic") Stopped at Debugger+0x54: xchgl %ebx,in_Debugger.0 So it looks like in need to tune my kernel a bit. Will this work? options VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE="4" options VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX="(1024*1024*1024)" options KVA_PAGES=512 I found these suggested in a prior thread, but I am uncertain if the values are even close to appropriate to my system (no PAE, UP, 384 MB RAM). -- R.
