hello
i try to get a kernel core dump after a panic - it's FreeBSD 2.0.5
(PCI/IDE/P90):
i've tried the following:
dumpon -v /dev/wd0b
or
dumpon -v /dev/wd0s4b
in /etc/rc before the savecore entry (savecore is set to YES in sysconfig) -
and i've also tried to compile a kernel with
config kernel root on wd0 dumps on wd0
and always the system hangs if it want's to write the coredump (the hdd
light is on but it's silence - no disk activity) - the only way to "unhang"
is the reset button - and after the reboot it simply says "savecore: no core
dump" - i tried it with my own compiled kernel and with the 2.0.5
kernel.GENERIC
has anybody an idea how i may get my kernel core dump ?
thanks in advance - t
