The following reply was made to PR kern/10603; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Daniel C. Sobral" <dcs@newsguy.com> To: scion@usa.net Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/10603: Random system panics Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 04:00:47 +0900 I'm glad you can reproduce the problem. How about helping us reproduce it too? Can you gives the results of mount, kldstat, dmesg and your kernel configuration file? Do you have any estimate on how long it takes to panic? Is your box doing anything else in background? Is it connected to the network? root@apn.dhs.org wrote: > > >Number: 10603 > >Category: kern > >Synopsis: Random system panics > >Confidential: no > >Severity: serious > >Priority: high > >Responsible: freebsd-bugs > >State: open > >Quarter: > >Keywords: > >Date-Required: > >Class: sw-bug > >Submitter-Id: current-users > >Arrival-Date: Mon Mar 15 12:20:01 PST 1999 > >Closed-Date: > >Last-Modified: > >Originator: Peter Keeler > >Release: FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE i386 > >Organization: > The Universal MUD Resource Group > >Environment: > kernel.GENERIC > > > > >Description: > > > The system panics at seemingly random times and requires > a human to hit a key and restart it. > > >How-To-Repeat: > > > Contrary to popular belief, this panic has a cause.
