This should give you enough of an overview of how to obtain and report the information you obtain for debugging kernel problems. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html The generic kernel configuration for the most part should be enough information to start for most cases and this would at least give you a starting point. Using a GENERIC kernel from a release or a snapshot too would also help to determine if its a problem as part of the project or a configuration mistake you might have made in your custom kernel. -- jhell,v _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
