One of the servers here just suffered an unusual panic.

Machine details:

(aside: for some reason, the com ports don't like the BIOS now, so I
 had to disable them in the BIOS)

I now have an interesting problem:

root@mail:/var/crash> gdb kernel.0 vmcore.0

"/var/crash/vmcore.0" is not a core dump: File format not recognized
(gdb) 

:-(

By grubbing through the core file manually, I see:

ahc1: ahc_scsi_cmd: more than 256 DMA segs
sd0: oops not queued
panic: biodone: buffer not busy

I thought I hadn't got savecore enabled, so my rough scribblings are
(sorry for some bits missing, I needed to get this machine on its feet
 again):

_Debugger

_biodone(f373ea68,f015a645,0) _biodone + 0x31
_sdstart(0,0,0f1729d14,f373ea68) _ststart + 0x15f

_read(f1b6500,efbfff1c,efbfff8c,80b7060,e60bc) _read + 0xa7
_syscall(unknown)
_Xsyscall(unknown)
---syscall

Anyone know:

a) what caused this, and how to prevent it happening again?
b) how to get any more info out of that core file?

Thanks,

Gary
