We have a FreeBSD 4.0 Release box running Big Brother and mrtg monitoring. I went on it last night and noticed a hung process and checked syslog, finding multiple entries that looked like this: Jun 21 23:47:25 gopher /kernel: pid 40433 (head), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped) Jun 21 23:52:34 gopher /kernel: pid 42709 (head), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped) Jun 21 23:57:42 gopher /kernel: pid 44962 (bbnet), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jun 21 23:57:44 gopher /kernel: pid 45428 (grep), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped) Jun 21 23:57:45 gopher /kernel: pid 45539 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) I killall'ed head and a runaway copy of perl and the machine went down. The machine went back up after an fsck, but almost immediately after going from single to multi-user all the processes on the box begin core dumping, including repeatedly killing getty. After about a minute the machine panics on some sort of mem_swp error (didn't get the whole error). The machine is a K6-2 450 with 32 megs of ram that had been running fine for about 11 days prior to the 21st, since it accidentally was powered off. Prior to that it had been fine for over a month. Anyone have any idea what sort of hardware problem might be causing this. I'd rather not pop in a new drive and find out I've got a fried board or bad ram.
