Need help debugging kernel

Thu Oct 14 01:56:53 PDT 2004

Hi,

Please help me with kernel debugging. The situation is the following:
system panics and reboots about every 24 hours (24 hours since last
reboot), 4.10-STABLE on i386. It shouldn't be a hardware issue, it
happens on several different machines, having similar configuration.

Systems are running named, postfix, apache, samba, dhcpd, lpd, webmin,
mpd, etc. with the similar configuration.
Kernel has following additions to GENERIC - options: DUMMYNET,
NMBCLUSTERS=8192, NETGRAPH, IPFIREWALL, IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE,
IPFIREWALL_FORWARD, IPDIVERT, IPSTEALTH, TCPDEBUG

$ gdb -k kernel.debug /usr/crash/vmcore.1

I am suspecting mpd, because on one machine shutting down mpd helped,
but i can't be sure yet. It's takes long time to test, it takes 24 hours
to see the result after every configuration change ;-(
