Aloha All One of my computers has an Asus A8N-VM motherboard. I have been running i386 on it for nearly a year. I played around with AMD64 earlier stuck with the i386. Last week I set up a dual boot with i386 and AMD64. The i386 is on a SATA drive and I installed 6.2 Beta 3 on and IDE Drive. All went well and I was installing ports from source. When I tried to install K3B it crashed. I then cvsup'd the source (RELENG_6) and tried to update the system. It was compiling for a few minutes and dumped again. I set "dumpdev" and "dumdir" in rc.conf and proceded again. It crashed and the dump was saved. Here's my problem: Since this was the first time I was building the world, I cannot cd to /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNCONF because it doesn't exist. I went to the i386 slice and did the upgrade (also RELENG_6) without any problem. This seems to tell me that memory is good (2 Gig) and I am not overheating. I mounted the partition for the IDE that has the crash and tried to read it from the i386 but it can't do it. Is there some other way for me to debug the dump? This is the only AMD64 system that I have. All help is appreciated. TIA Robert
