Hi, every once in a while (about once a week lately), one of my
servers has been known to stop responding. Upon connecting the serial
console, I find myself at a debugger prompt. This is the output I've
gotten this time.

I do think I have a debug kernel on that machine, what can I do to
get more useful information out?


See the chapter on kernel debugging in the developers' handbook.

Sorry, poorly phrased question. Was in a bit of a hurry.
I have a debug kernel, however I have no dump device (and cannot create one; I'm geom-mirroring my disks, and for some reason I'm not able to specify a dump device when that is the case (has been discussed in the past). I've been told that a debug kernel might still help, but the developers handbook does not say anything about what can be done without a dump. I know this has been up on one of the lists (current, stable or amd64) I'm on, so I guess I'll go ahead searching for it.

Sorry about the noise. Was just hoping someone recognized the symptoms.

PS: I have seen various kinds of instability on most of my 5.4-
installations, no matter the patchlevel. This box is just one of many.

Anyone?
