It looks as if you've hit a device driver that is trying to print out a null string. The message you've given doesn't provide any more information than that. If you install a snapshot kernel it will probably have ddb compiled in which will allow you to at least get a backtrace. I'm sorry you're having trouble.

Hello, (sorry, don't know whether kernel problems should go to questions or hackers, or both).. This has been a long-standing problem of mine, but I always ignored it hoping it would go away on its own with a future 6.x release, but it remains... No matter whether I boot into safe mode or regular mode, with all kernel extensions disabled in /boot/loader.conf, I get the following panic late at boot of a fresh RELENG_6_2 kernel (with only a few services left to bring up). The 6.x kernels I've tried all build and installed cleanly without any errors... > WARNING: Device driver " > > Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode > fault virtual address = 0x400000 > fault code = supervisor read, page not present > instruction pointer = 0x20:0xc06d4614 > stack pointer = 0x28:0xf015491c > frame pointer = 0x28:0xf015491c > code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xffffff, type 0x1b > = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 > processor eflags = interupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 > current process = 898 (kldload) > trap number = 12 > panic: page fault > uptime: 36s > cannot dump. No dump device defined > automatic reboot in 15 seconds This problem does not occur within any 5.x OS for me. I would certainly like to resolve this issue now, but this sort of debugging is over my head beyond running fsck (which I've tried). Any ideas here?
