The message showing up in the syslogs is: panic: pmap_enter: invalid page directory pdir=0x357063, va=0xffc00000 The pdir and va addresses change. The one crash at 6am didn't have a syslog entry and had a different console message which I neglected to write down. I thought perhaps some faulty memory, but this isn't the case as I replaced it last night and had the same problem. Okay, so I thought cron job..but the only running is the daily job at 3:01 and newsyslog. The box has been up for about 3 months now without a hiccup. It's our SPAM / MAIL gateway and it doesn't always recover nicely. System info: FreeBSD 4.10 -REL intel Celeron chipset with 1 GB RAM Open ports: SSH (22), Postfix (25), Bind 9.2.3 (53) It doesn't seem like a hard drive going, but possibly the mobo? I just can't think of anything else besides hardware failure which would cause that to just start popping up??? Thanks list.
