This may or may not relevant. ( For me the messages are cryptic ) Yesterday night I got a system panic and total crash of the machine. I was doing - as a normal user - ConfigX86, when the machine panics with "vm_page_unhold: hold count <0!!!" and rebooted. After some fiddling I found this in /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_page.h. The machine is running FreeBSD 1.1.51 + Patches 1 - 10 applied. 386 DX/40 MHZ + Copro , 8 MB RAM , 33 MB swap, ET 4000 Hicolor, 420 MB Ide HD. At startup there is : real mem 7995392 ( 1952 pages ) <--- Why this ??? avail mem 7110656 ( 1736 pages ) using 144 buffers 1179648 bytes <--- Dynamically alignement possible ? But after the panic : Error messages + Saving 8388608 bytes of image in ram.0 If I know, what I can do with this ram.0, maybe I could make the error clearer. Can someone explain to me,whether the differerence in real mem to my 8 MB is normal, and whether it is possible to dynamically shrink the buffer ? Thanks for your help Thomas --------------------------------------------------------------- Please don't reply to this machine ! Use tom@wpzd07.pzlc.uni-wuerzburg.de
