I've had bad memory work fine in one OS and perform really badly in another. Memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/) has worked well for me in the past, but I've had times when it wouldn't work, especially when the BIOS reserves a chunk of memory that happens to be bad :) Jason ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Kernel Panic on Install
Jason... Thanks for the tip. I ran memtest86 all day today (about 4/5 cycles) and it didn't come up with any errors. I'm going to try the installer on another motherboard to see if it's some odd motherboard/processor combo. Thanks again.

Kernel Panic on Install
Hello... I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.9 (from the Mini CD ISO) on my system, yet the instant it tries to load the driver for my ethernet card, it has a Fatal trap 12. I read the FAQ on this and searched the mailing list. Unfortunately, I can't do a stack trace or provide anymore information than what the Kernel Panic says, but since it's the default 100% plain vanilla kernel, maybe someone can help me out. The ethernet card is a 3COM Fast Etherlink XL PCI (3C905B-TXNM), and I noticed that the fault might be from failing hardware, (the hardware does work under XP, but I know that's not 100% tried and true test), so I swapped it out with my other ethernet card from my linux server (same exact ethernet card, and it works under Redhat 9 and Debian Woody) and I still get the same error message. (Of course it might be other hardware failing, but the system does work fine under XP). The last kernel messages before the panic are: 4.3 on pci0 xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast> at device 10.0 on pci0 xl0: couldn't map ports/memory xl0: reset didn't complete xl0: command never completed! xl0: command never completed! xl0: command never completed! Then it prints out: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x0 fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc03156bf stack pointer = 0x10:0xc084be10 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc084be38 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) interrupt mask = net tty bio cam trap number = 12 panic: page fault Uptime: 0s The system is a P3-666 with 512MB ram, on an ASUS motherboard. If anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing this, or what other things I might try to prevent this from happening that would be great. Thanks!

Well, that brings up the question of why you're running 5.x to begin with. Did you not read http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/early-adopter.html or do you need 5.1 for some particular reason? If the former, maybe you should try 4.9. If the latter, maybe you need to try -CURRENT, with all of the duties and obligations pertaining thereto. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
5.1 Kernel panic on install
Hi Guys, I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.1 from CD on a Toshiba Tecra 8200 Laptop. No matter what mode I start the install in, it results in a kernel panic. The laptop has an in built Intel NIC and an inbuilt Wireless NIC as well. As you can see from the output below it always happens after the Wi-Fi NIC has been detected. I think it has something to do with the way the interupts are being re-routed, but I do not know how to get around it as this is my first 'adventure' with FreeBSD. Here is the last output I can see on screen before the kernal panic: = Wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station (6.14.1) Wi0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5 Mbps 11Mbps Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xdbbd8000 fault code = supervisor read, page not present Instruction pointer = 0x8 : 0xc025fe25 Stack pointer = 0x10 : 0xd6959964 Frame pointer = 0x10 : 0xd6959b7c Code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 Processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 Current process = 25 (cbb1) Trap number = 12 Panic: page fault == I have looked through the FreeBSD handbook, but I just do not have enough experience with FreeBSD to make sense of it. Can anyone give any help? Thanks Kevin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
