Well, unfortunately I don't keep partitions with 128MB free* in them so savecore has a problem when it comes to creating something from which I can get a backtrace from (I hadn't configured the kernel for ddb yet as it is still pretty much just GENERIC 2.2.8). FWIW, details: 2*200MMX, 128MB RAM, 2940UW, sd0=2GB, sd1=ZIP, sd2=9.1GB (Freebsd is going here in a smaller partition), wd0=6.4GB (where freebsd is coming from). Problems occured copying from wd0 to sd2. The disklabel for sd2 appears fine. In both cases freebsd is just a partition amongst others. the most recent panic was: panic: blkfree: freeing free frag If panic messages were logged by syslogd I'd have the previous ones too. Darren * - dumping all of memory is silly. SunOS4/5 have always been diskspace friendly when dumping including now dumping in a compressed format.
