Right, so I've got my 6.0-RELEASE up and running, and I'm slowly, but
surely getting it configured how I like it. 80x50 console, all my
favorite programs, life is quite good.
However, just recently, when browsing the web, the kernel panicked on
me. I was currently just browsing the web in Opera, doing a
portsmanager -u in the my second console, with centericq running in 7
and irssi in 8. Since I was in X at the time, I had no idea what it was
doing until it rebooted itself. When I rebooted, I found out that it
had made a few files in my /var/crash/ directory, how thoughtful. The
shorter of the two files read like the following:
Dump header from device /dev/ad1s2b
Architecture: i386
Architecture Version: 2
Dump Length: 1072234496B (1022 MB)
Blocksize: 512
Dumptime: Sat Mar 4 07:27:20 2006
Hostname: alexmax.localdomain
Magic: FreeBSD Kernel Dump
Version String: FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 3 09:36:13 UTC 2005
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
Panic String: vm_page_insert: page already inserted
Dump Parity: 3300035405
Bounds: 0
Dump Status: good
The other one was quite large, so I will not bore you with the details
unless you need them. However, from there, I have no clue what to do
with the dumps.. I now ask where should I start looking for
problems...or perhaps what information should I give you?
Also, while I'm at it, I'm having a few niggling problems with FreeBSD
that are bugging me.
1. In certain programs, such as irssi, my alt key does not work. If I
run irssi within an aterm, the alt-number combinations work fine.
However, if I am using a console, doing alt-number does not work, and
instead I must use the Escape key. How do I fix this?
2. My Delete key exhibits similar strange behavior, except instead of
doing nothing, it sometimes acts like a backspace key.
Thank you in advance. In spite of my troubles, I'm finding my
experience with FreeBSD most satisfactory. :)
