hi,

just wanted to report that i've been getting a couple of kernel fault
panics over the last two days (one a day).  exact monitor message is
appended at the end.  seems to happen during login sessions, not when the
machine is idle.  anyway, probably nothing to do on this, but i thought
i'd mention it in case it happens elsewhere.

oh, two questions: is there any way to tell the o2 not to throw up the
[Press reset to restart the machine] prompt after a panic, but rather
restart right away?  and, should it be saving core dumps in
/var/adm/crash?  it doesn't seem to be.

thanks,

oliver
