These aren't spontaneous reboots. They're kernel panics.

 Apr 3 06:50:44 hope kernel: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
 Apr 3 06:50:44 hope kernel: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted

This is because the machine rebooted without unmounting the
filesystems. It will do a background fsck later.

 Apr 3 06:50:44 hope savecore: reboot after panic: page fault
 Apr 3 06:50:44 hope savecore: writing core to vmcore.3

This means that the reboot was caused by a page fault. A core file was
saved (to /var/crash by default), so you can feed it to the kernel
debugger kgdb(1) to see what caused the page fault.

See chapter 10 of the developers handbook on how to debug a crash
dump. Copy the output that kgdb generates when starting up, and the
output of the 'backtrace' (or 'bt') command and post them here, or on
the hackers list.

Need help on reboot issue (hang during shutdown)

2005-09-20 Thread cs

Hi,

I have a headless colo server and sometimes (after issuing the reboot 
command) it would hang and did not reboot.


I have enabled console logging:

normal reboot:

Sep 19 13:24:26 foo kernel: Writing entropy file:
Sep 19 13:26:30 foo kernel: Pre-seeding PRNG:
Sep 19 13:26:30 foo kernel: kickstart
Sep 19 13:26:30 foo kernel: .
Sep 19 13:26:30 foo kernel: Loading configuration files.

reboot hang:

Sep 19 16:56:06 foo kernel: Writing entropy file:
Sep 19 16:56:06 foo kernel: .
tech support reset pc
Sep 19 19:40:00 foo kernel: Pre-seeding PRNG:
Sep 19 19:40:00 foo kernel: kickstart
Sep 19 19:40:00 foo kernel: .
Sep 19 19:40:00 foo kernel: Loading configuration files.

The console log can't tell me much...

My question is that is there other ways/settings/etc for me to diagnose 
this issue ?  Like to find out exactly what was hanging ?


Thanx.
