Dear all,
sorry to break the thread, but I did not have the originating message in my
mailinglist folder anymore. Nonetheless, I want to reply to "carlopmart" who

Last night my openbsd 4.1 has crashed and I don't know why. I am using
this openbsd as a part of two carped firewalls.
Crash dump:
kernel: page fault trap code=0
Stopped at pfsync_insert_net_state+0x451: movl 0(%eax,%edx,4),%edx
I experienced *exactly* the same problem.
As I'm using a modified kernel also, I'm not sure if this is an official
OpenBSD bug. Therefore, I switched the boxes back to GENERIC kernels for the
time being, waiting for one of them to possibly break down again. Since the
problem is not reproducable, it's hard to say if it only affects non-GENERIC
kernel builds.
We are running a classic carped firewall setup. As I can't file bugreports
with customized kernels, I just wanted to give you this note.
Differences between the customized kernel and GENERIC are:
# option LKM # loadable kernel modules
# option EXT2FS # Second Extended Filesystem
# option MFS # memory file system
# option XFS # xfs filesystem
# option NFSCLIENT # Network File System client
# option NFSSERVER # Network File System server
# option INET6 # IPv6 (needs INET)
# option PPP_BSDCOMP # PPP BSD compression
# option PPP_DEFLATE
# pseudo-device sppp 1 # Sync PPP/HDLC
# pseudo-device ppp # PPP
# pseudo-device sl # CSLI
# pseudo-device pppoe 1 # PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516)
I also stripped down drivers I do not need, like soundcards, USB- and
firewiredevices or buses I do not have, pretty much just to the things that
are built into this box and really needed.
Kind regards,
Jens
Thanks Jen. I have switched to GENERIC kernel too (without any modification) and
I am waiting to reproduce this problem ....
