"possible internal error"

Hi Gemstoners,

I'm getting quite regular crashes of a vm with the following error in the logs:

_____________________________________________________________________________
| Possible Internal Error: HostCoreDump invoked at 09/26/12 10:17:51.903 CEST
in process 31303


Is there a way to get more info on the cause?

You should have gotten a c-stack trace dumped to the log right after the header ... could you send us the full log? Then we'll give you further instructions ...

Hi Dale,

Unfortunately, nothing is mentioned after that line...
Could it be that some option controls the dumping of the stack or not?

do you have gdb installed? I had this once seeing a line "trying to attach to gdb" or something like this. After I installed gdb it produced a stack trace.

Good idea.
Although it does not mention anything about that, it's definitely worth a try.

I will install it and wait for the next crash event ;-)

thx

Johan,

Yes gdb needs to be installed to get c stack traces.

The second issue is that if you are hitting these errors on a mac, there might issues with needing to be root to attach to a process to generate the stack...

We also thought that the lines leading up to the 'possible internal error' message might give us some clues as to what might be going wrong...
