All of that will apply. When reporting a kernel panic or crash, please remember: <ul> <li><em>We need the console output on the screen</em>. Capture it and save it. Serial consoles are best, but if you are on a VGA console you can <a HREF="faq/faq7.html">scroll the console back</a> and take readable pictures with a phone or camera.<BR> <li><em>If the kernel panicked we need the traceback.</em> It may be displayed on the screen. If you are at a <tt><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ddb.4">ddb</a>></tt> prompt, type <tt>trace</tt>. If you are running SMP, use the <tt>mach ddbcpu N</tt> command for each of the <tt>N</tt> processors you have and repeat the <tt>trace</tt> command for each processor.<BR> <li><em>We need the process list.</em> Use the command <tt>ps</tt> to get us that. </ul> <em> Reports without the above information are useless. This is the minimum we need to be able to track down the issue. </em> <h3><font color="#0000e0">Additional information you can send</font></h3> <P> In some situations more information is desirable. Below are outlined some additional steps you can take in certain situations: <ul> <li> ... XXX boot crash? XXX <li> ... XXX show regs? XXX <li> <em>If your crash appears to involve filesystems.</em> The following additional things would be helpful <ul> <li> The output of the <tt><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ddb.4">ddb</a>></tt> command <tt>show uvm</tt> <li> The output of the <tt><a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ddb.4">ddb</a>></tt> command <tt>show bcstats</tt> <li> The output of the <tt>mount</tt> command from your running machine, so we know what filesystems are mounted and how. </ul> </ul> <p> </body> </html>
