You gotta enable core dumps, and savecore. (It's silly that there are two variables for this.) > And then, how do I interpret the results of the core dump ? With the kernel debugger. Have a look into the section about kernel debugging in the handbook. However, judging from your chosen subject, i'm afraid this is rather a hardware problem. That is, the crash will happen at various and unpredictable spots, so the kernel debugger or coredump aren't of much use for it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
