If you are panic'ing, and it's repeatable, then you should minimally post: 1) The panic message, with the registers, etc. (e.g. "page fault in kernel mode; Trap 12", etc.). 2) A stack traceback from DDB. 3) If you are running something other than a tagged branch (e.g. if you are running -CURRENT, or using something other than a -RELEASE ISO for the install), then you need to take the traceback information, and either post a "gdb-k" dump of the lines of the file in which it occurred, or you need to go into an editor like "vi", turn on line numbering, and cut-and paste at least 5 lines before and after the line on which it crashed. After that, someone can probably help you, if not give you a patch. My personal "pat answer" for any Trap 12 panic is going to be to reguild the kernel with options DISABLE_PG_G and DISABLE_PSE, on the theory that Matt Dillon and Jeff Robertson's changes which mask the problem happen to *not* be masking the problem on your particular machine. After that, we can talk about what else might be causing the problem. -- Terry
