Also, Greg Lehey posted a cute HOWTO on taking panic dumps. I think the details are included in the handbook chapter I've suggested, but I'd suggest starting with his message, and then hitting the handbook if you don't understand it (you did say you're learning, after all). You can get Greg's HOWTO at (all on one line, no breaks): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=615265+0+archive/1999/freebsd-hackers/19990321.freebsd-hackers I'm sure you understand why Jordan responded the way he did, since you've been involved with CURRENT for so long. :-) Later, Sheldon.
