I have a 3.1R "play" box at home that panics about once a week. I decided to try and catch a dump, so I followed directions in Chapter 22 of the Handbook. (After 5 years of owning and working on a FreeBSD server, I have *never* needed a dump file before. Gota love stability.) Specificly, I used "config -g", set dumpdev="/dev/wd1s1b", compiled the kernel, saved a copy as /kernel.debug, stripped it with "strip -g kernel" then did a "make install." On boot, 2 error messages appeared which bothered me. Couldn't find an info in handbook, man pages, or mail archives. These anything to be worried about? savecore /kernel _dumpdev not in namelist ... kvmm_mkdb: /kernel stripped inappropriate file type or format To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
