Subject:   Unable to crashdump
Message-ID:  <35376ABB.ADF827AF@ameritech.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hello, I would like to enable crash dumps for -current so I can better
understand why it crashes sometimes (totally a mystery in X since the
display simply freezes).  I have enabled then in rc.conf, but when  a
panic happens, my dpt 2144 is no longer able to write to the disk it
seems, something about the panic tells it to shut down.  When a dump is
supposed to occur, my screen scrolls wildly with this message:

dpt0 ERROR: Command  "Write (10) [6.1.18]" recieved for b0t0u0
but controller is shut down; Aborting

I cannot tell if the numbers change since they fly by so fast.  Any
insight into making it not shutdown before dumps would be appreciated.
I did ask freebsd-scsi first, but did not recieve concern towards the
problem.  Thanks in advance.
