What could be > causing this? If you drop to the debugger by using the debug.kdb.enter sysctl, and do "call doadump", followed by a reset, does a dump get generated successfully? I.e., are they completely broken on your system, or is this somehow a property of the particular hang you're seeing. (Do the above with caution and in a situation where you don't mind fscking, needless to say).
