I sent him some debug kernel crash info - he just asked for my OK to forward it to the list - should be here soon. (If not, I'll dig it up and send it in.) I haven't dug into it much yet, but it appears (from some quick gdb "print" commands) that it's blowing up during an ioctl dealing with the lo0 loopback device. I don't know all that much about how FBSD stores network device structures, so I'm not quite sure what I'm staring at, but it looks like there's some sort of linked list that it's traversing through that gets an invalid pointer... (Oh, and to answer your question, yea - fans are OK, replaced the RAM, etc. The machine was quite stable (up for 60+ days) before I cvsup'd back in March - since then, daily ka-booms, sorta. It was crashing daily for almost a month (Mar-Apr), then the thing had a power failure. When the power came back on, the machine was stable again until another power failure in mid-May - since then, it's crashing daily again. Figure THAT one out...! :) --mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
