I can boot to single-user after a panic, no swap, and savecore still tells me that there's no dump present; conversely (I should have made this clearer) kernel dumps work for me when the panic is triggered in other ways (eg. by switching vt's too quickly from X - don't know why). Maybe tomorrow I'll try manually transcribing some DDB output, but for me the more interesting problem is why /etc/rc.suspend is not executed. I haven't even thought about /etc/rc.resume yet :-) Thanks, -James Butler
