I have a machine with 20MB of memory which consistently panics when running "portsdb -Uu". So far I haven't captured one with a matching debug kernel, a situation which I've now corrected. One thing of note is that so far all the vmcores have been exactly the same size (a number which I also forget at present). Now that I've gotten the machine setup with a debug kernel and matching source I'm going to trigger a few panics and post results here. Th= at will take a while (~5 hours per panic; it's a slow machine). Ceri --=20 User: DO YOU ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR?
