Well then, my reminiscences of successfully saving the dump of a low hw.physmem'd session come from FreeBSD. Looking after it, they rewrote the dumping code in the spring of 2002; see the relevant commits listed at http://hg.fr.freebsd.org/src-head/?cmd=changelog;rev=71458 (from rev. 71452 to rev. 71458). > But you might be able > to work around the problem by adding an option to savecore to allow > the amount of physical memory (as of when the crash occured) to be > specified. Thanks, that will do the job. Regards, Csaba
