What I mean is to, whenever the device driver receives a packet, it checks if the packet is a special ping packet (with some specific data, like "dumpdump..." in the data field), and if so, forces a dump so you can check (luckily) where the system came from. It's a long shot, but perhaps it gives a hint. Does this behavior happens on IA-64 boxes? If so, the kernel could set up the processor to save performance data (specifically the branch history), and the special ping (or something else) could be used to print the branch buffer history, instead of dumping a core. Debugging symbols would be a must, I believe. -- Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez <rnsanchez_at_{gmail.com,wait4.org}> Powered by FreeBSD "Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse."Received on Wed Jan 03 2007 - 11:36:28 UTC
