Obvious question: is your stack set up properly, and is it big enough?
It could be that you haven't set up a bigger kernel stack yet, and have
overrun the small boot stack that the processor was running on. Do you
know what the stack pointer is? If it is a few bytes below a page
boundary, then
In FreeBSD 6_2, if kmem_malloc is unable to find space it panics. The
relevant code is in vm_kern.c
if ((flags M_NOWAIT) == 0)
panic(kmem_malloc(%ld): kmem_map too small: %ld
total allocated,
(long)size, (long)map-size);
Is there any way

Thanks for the response. I am hoping to keep some memory aside specifically
for handling out of memory allocation situations. Yes the real fix is to
avoid out of memory allocation. Thanks for the patch. Will try that. As a
first cut I am just trying to handle failure gracefully.
So asking again -
