I know nothing about kernel code or debugging, but have run into a
repeatable problem with kernel panics.  I not even sure that this
is the correct forum to send is such a concern.

Anyway, if someone has an idea what is wrong (could be as simple as
requiring that I increase the size of a buffer table, or something) and
how to fix it I would appreciate.  I have used *bsd since about 1996
and really enjoy the robust networking functions.  This is probably
the first time I've had a problem related to kernel network problems,
if that is in fact the case.

Sorry if I sent this to the wrong place,

al


The task I perform:

 What I am doing is a network scan, sending pings (using ping) to a few
 million addresses.  The pings come from an alias address on my
 interface, and have an individual signature in each payload (thus ping
 in place of nmap -sP).

The symptom, 

 After pinging almost a million addresses, my kernel panics.  My script
 keeps a checkpoint of where in the scan I have completed, and when I
 start off from the checkpoint, the scan will continue further, but again
 my kernel will panic but this time after only a little while (a few
 (tens of?) thousands of pings).

 There are no records of any problems before the panic occurs, no
 references in /var/log/messages, etc.

Corrective effort

 This first occurred in August.  Once it failed, I cvsupped stable,
 built world, installed a new kernel. It still failed so I re-did
 all those funny things in UPDATING (like MAKEDEV all), mergemaster
 (the original system was installed in November 2000).  The
 panics still occur in a repeatable fashion after updating with
 newest code Sept 5.

 So I configured dumpon, and build a kernel with debug support, after
 CVSuping to the most recent level ( morning Mon Sep 9 2002) and read
 quickly through the chapter on kernel debugging in the docs of FreeBSD,
 and collected some information about the crash in hopes that someone can
 help.

 I should have run a GENERIC kernel, in place of my kernel which is
 configured with IPFilter, ipfw, dummynet, smbfs, etc.., but I figure
 that my configuration should not be too uncommon so should there
 be a problem it should be resolved generically.

I had a problem getting my dump/savecore to work.  My computer bios said
it had a problem, that never occured before I did the dump on panic.  But
I think it recovered, and here are the results of the gdb -k, as best I
understand it, from the docs on freebsd.org regarding kernel debugging.
