Hi, can anybody help me figure out what when wrong here?

The machine was frozen solid at the db> prompt.    Here's what it said:

uvm_fault(0xc066baa0, 0xffc00000, 0, 1) -> e
Kernel: page fault trap, code 0
Stopped at pid 9 (reaper) at pmap_page_remove+0x114: movl 0(%edx,%eax,4), %esi
db>

The keyboard was non-responsive, so I couldn't do a stack trace etc.


Here's part of dmesg upon restarting:

Any hints?  If this is due to some nasty h/w problem, I need to get it
fixed.


ALSO, is there some way that, instead of just dropping into the debugger,
it could write that stuff out to a file, and then reboot?  This machine is
located at a data center, and it's a drag to have to drive over there just
to push the reset button.

Thanks, as usual!
