I'm not on site so I have no idea what might be =20 provoking these crashes. In fact in many years of running FreeBSD =20 I've not seen something just happen like this. It is a =20 simi-production machine that cvsups daily and builds and installs a =20 new world and kernel. Ports are updated about once a week and haven't =20 seen any issues previously. It has been running 24/7 since new, about =20 8 months. 3 files were generated info, bounds and vmcore. The info file follows: Dump header from device /dev/mfid0s1b Architecture: i386 Architecture Version: 2 Dump Length: 341225472B (325 MB) Blocksize: 512 Dumptime: Wed Jun 11 12:34:24 2008 Hostname: casasponti.net Magic: FreeBSD Kernel Dump Version String: FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #258: Tue Jun 10 05:54:42 CDT 2008 root@casasponti.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ENCONTACTO Panic String: page fault Dump Parity: 2395754794 Bounds: 2 Dump Status: good the vmcore is about 300M so I'm not attaching it;) I could put it on =20 line at a moments notice. I think that what I need is probably a =20 crash course on debugging a crash and I really don't know where to =20 start since after over 10 years with freebsd I've never needed it. =20 Any help, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
