For some time now, weeks, actually my FreeBSD box has been crashing aparrantly
randomly. It took me forever but I finally managed to capture a dump! Here is
what kgdb said:

I have never had to debug a kernel dump before, and frankly am unfamiliar with
the procedure, Sorry if I have missed something obvious :(
The crashes started *around* the time that I upgraded to Xorg 7.2, however I
am unsure this is the cause, notwithstanding I *think* that something that
got rebuilt during that period is causing the crash. It does not seem,
however, to be Xorg itself; the crashes also occur when X is not in use. I
did not rebuild my kernel around that time.
I hope that I have provided enough information, if I have not, I can gladly
get more. I have attached my kernel configuration, my uname -a output is:
FreeBSD jhengis.vistua.com 6.2-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5 #3: Sat Jun
2 12:45:19 EDT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BORODIN
i386
(The recent datestamp on this kernel is because I rebuilt it with debug
information, so I could catch the dump.)
You can get the complete contents of /var/crash from
ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/crash.tar.bz2
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
