First, do you see kdb prompt when system panics? If not then you will need to recompile kernel with various debug stuff: KDB, DDB, GDB, DEBUG=-g ... Second do you have line with sw in /etc/fstab. If not, it is possible to set dump device manually. You should have following lines in /etc/rc.conf: ddb_enable="YES" ddb_config="/etc/ddb.conf" But this one is required only if you want that textdumps are taken automaticaly after system crash. Exploring ddb(4) is also usefull. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
