Hi all,

Been having problems with my Tyan Thunder i7500 (S2720) dual Xeon 
running -STABLE: it's hanging every couple of days.

I couldn't find any specific fixes on the lists, but I did come across 
some instructions about breaking into the debugger from a serial 
console.  I built a kernel with the following options: DDB, KDB, WITNESS 
& BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER (INVARIANTS wouldn't build).

When it hangs, there seems to be no response - no network activity 
(pings), no response from the keyboard/mouse, but I *am* able to break 
into the debugger.  I ran "show pcpu", "ps", "show threads", "show 
alllocks", "show lockedvnods" and saved the output.  What do I do with 
the data to further troubleshoot my problems?

Thanks.
