Re: Panic in a vkernel: getblk: vnode 0x669232e8 has no
object!

:Hm:
:"/home/var.vkernel/memimg.000000" is not a core dump: File format
not
:recognized" guess not? (tried it with gdb not kgdb)

    Heh.  No but you CAN gdb the live vkernel (assuming it dropped into
    db> it is still running).

    In anycase, don't bother going that far.  There's definitely a bug
    here.  The vnode is supposed to have a VM object associated with it
    and clearly there must be a path where that vnode can be instantiated
    without one.

    Can you by any chance reproduce the bug to test that this patch
    fixes the problem?
