i'm really sorry, but this is a problem ~ 90% of desktop users have: 1) we only have 1 computer 2) we can't access our computer via some other box via ssh or something 3) we don't have serial cables or firewire cables so it seems in this situation a complete deadlock *cannot* be analyzed. the idea of dumping the memory to a usb stick after a hard reboot thus seems so attractive to users like me. still the question is: how can we use such a complete memory dump? i don't think it's as easy as loading it into kdb, is it? cheers. alex > > Robert -- a13x _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
