Ditto here!  This machine was up for 100+ days until a recent world upgrade, 
now it won't stay up for more than 24 hours, and nothing in the message 
log.

I am going to recompile with the debugging options to see if I get the same 
output that you do.

Stay tuned...

This might be related to the PAE stuff that has been committed on Aug
08. There is a patch that removes PAE support - it has been reported to
fix stability problems on -stable machines that were rock solid before
the upgrade.

You can find the patch here:

Server spontaneously rebooting

2003-08-24 Thread Chris Byrnes
We recently have been having a problem with our server rebooting
spontaneously.  It seems to happen about every day or two.  Never had the
problem before.. started happening about a week ago when we rebooted to
change IPs on the machine and since we were rebooting anyway, we upgraded to
the latest FreeBSD -stable before the reboot.

We recently rebooted the machine ourselves to add kernel debugging stuff.
The server rebooted itself a few minutes ago and this was in
/var/log/messages:

Aug 24 11:37:11 awww savecore: reboot after panic: page fault
Aug 24 11:37:11 awww savecore: no dump, not enough free space on device
(77588 available, need 919256)

Any ideas on what's going on here and how to get this figured out?
