It seems that with 4.0 and a serial console enabled vidcontrol panics the kernel with a pagefault. I was unable to get a crashdump because of some other breakage and I can't investigate this too heavily because this is a production box. (grr) I do however have a lot of config information to hopefully reproduce this problem. with these lines in /etc/rc.conf I get a panic with vidcontrol as the active process in a 4.0 from early morning: font8x8="cp437-8x8" font8x14="cp437-8x14" font8x16="cp437-8x16" keyrate="fast" This is how I have my serial console setup: options DDB options DDB_UNATTENDED options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER I also don't have a keyboard plugged in, just a serial console so that the loader picks it as the system console. Is anyone else getting hit by panics by vidcontrol with serial console enabled? thanks, -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
