It was 386bsd 0.1 with an older patch kit (I have become reluctant to abuse university facilities for getting new software for my private machine nowadays). It would run for more than 10 days until rebooted for getting rid of some hanging process or so. Then, I upgraded from 8 MB RAM to 16 MB. Now, the system reboots inadvertedly several times a day. As it says `kmem_map too small' I increased MAX_KMAPENT in /sys/vm/vm_map.h from 1000, as it was after patch00002, to 2000, even 5000. The only difference seems to be that there's no RAM image dumped any more. Is there some other parameter that could be tuned for a larger memory? Or can it only be a hardware problem (but I don't get any NMIs)? -- Ulf Andrick ura@strix.cluster.sub.org
