Go up 5 or 6 lines. The buffer message is printed after trying to sync the filesystems. The panic message is above that, and usually starts with the word "Panic". You might also want to enable crashdumps in /etc/rc (add a line reading dumpdev="/dev/da1s1b", but use whatever swap partition you have configured) and take a look at the dump it puts in /var/crash with gdb. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
