As I mentioned the other day, after installing FreeBSD 4.0-Release I started getting random spontaneous reboots while in X (after running FreeBSD 3.4-Release for 2 months without any problems). Now that I've started debugging my driver, I enabled DDB, and now instead of rebooting I'm crashing into DDB (when my driver isn't loaded)... (I'm also crashing with my driver, but that's another story :) I left my machine sit at the console login prompt over the weekend, and today found it had crashed into DDB, showing a "Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode", which happened at arpintr+0x9C. And I'm fairly sure this is exactly the same trap I saw a couple of times since enabling DDB. I'm completely new to using DDB, but a "trace" showed that arpintr was called from swi_net_next, which was called from Xresume11 (??), the trace then shows "--- interrupt", having been called from default_halt(). Oh, and the "current process" was "Idle". (Is Xresume11 part of X-Windows??) Just to be clear: X was *not* running, this was a console login prompt, and no "user programs" were running in the background. Does this make sense to anyone? I've seen some other reports of "spontaneous reboots" with 4.0 on the -stable list - perhaps this is the cause for those people as well? As I said, I'm new to debugging on BSD, so if the above isn't sufficient info for someone familiar with the code to find the problem, give me explicit instructions and maybe I can provide more info...
