Hello,
I have become familiar with certain FreeBSD crashes - namely, I can tell the difference between the kernel crashing, and the userland crashing.
If the machine is down, but I can still ping it, then the userland has crashed - the kernel is still running, which is why it responds to pings.
But if it crashes and just reboots itself, then the kernel has crashed. Oversimplified I know, but I am leading up to:
What kind of a crash is it if:
I can ssh to the system, it gives me the BSD copyright and the uname message, but never ever gives me a prompt. What is going on in this scenario ? What kind of things have you seen that cause a crash like this ?
thanks.
