You could try this one as well.. http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/btx_crx.patch Although I have tried both and it works for some systems but not others=20 (eg Supermicro C2SBA bombs scrolling stack dumps over and over so fast=20 I can't take a picture of it). I should be getting another system like it soon so I can test it again,=20 hopefully I'll get time to add some 'go slow' routines to the stack=20 trace so I can actually record it :) =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart5194898.T9MJgrET8K Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHNPXM5ZPcIHs/zowRAvD1AJ90RKbUTdblkCfqvrQjgWVW5iwymgCfZ0Wm jdOP8Xg39zNjRpMeLB1h0RQ= =ak+J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart5194898.T9MJgrET8K--
