first off: FreeBSD zifnab 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #0: Mon May 30 07:53:44 PDT 2005 kevin_at_zifnab:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SEE_NO_EVIL i386 built from sources cvsuped yesterday (the 29th of May) ontop of the SNAP002 or whatever it was called from March. Now, I am getting what seem to me, to be random crashes. Of course there are many things in this world which seem random to me because I do not know what is going on. These crashes indubitably fall in to this category of things. I figure the best way to learn more about this is to ask other people. And I also know that when asking other people, particular this list, it is a good idea to be in possession of various background information. But, and here is the twist, when the panic happens, the 'dumping X megabytes of memory`, or whatever the exact wording is, message pops up, and then just sits there for however long I am willing to let the machine sit(2 hours is the upper limit on that). The IDE activity LED does not blink(I assume it should be blinking if the memory is being dumped to swap on an IDE drive), it does blink when I hit keys on the keyboard. dmesg from the machine: http://kevin.is.a.zombie.org/dmesg kernel config: http://kevin.is.a.zombie.org/SEE_NO_EVIL kevin_at_zifnab:~% swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/ad0s1b 2572288 19972 2572288 1% And on a somewhat unrelated note, I get hard lockups(have to hit the reboot button to reboot) when playing videos using xv(have not tried other options). It does happen somewhat intermittently, mostly if I play more than one video file in a row. -- The best prophet of the future is the past.Received on Tue May 31 2005 - 04:28:39 UTC
