Sorry for the inconvenience to the group. I've fixed it since, so if anyone has any ideas on this problem, I could really use the advice. (The crash is: kernel: page fault trap, code = 0 stopped at _tcp_input:0x27a if that matters) The changes I've added to the TCP code in NetBSD cause it to crash (of course). This I don't mind. However, I've compiled in DDB which catches the panic (which is useful). I cannot get DDB to dump core though so that I can later use kgdb to analyze the crashdump. I've looked at the FreeBSD site which suggests typing either: db> call diediedie() or db> call panic() both of these give this response: Faulted in DDB, continuing So I've got to call cpu-reset() which gives me no crashdump. I'm running NetBSD 1.1 on a pentium 100MHz, 32MB RAM. On a related note, I think I made the swap partition too small (just over 32 MB) - which seems to be keeping the crash dump from working correctly even when DDB is not configured. Is it possible to use a crash file like L*n*x does? Any advice much appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Kevin Brown Department of Computer Science email: kbrown@cs.sc.edu University of South Carolina http://www.cs.sc.edu/~kbrown Columbia SC 29208 (803) 777-3774
