I have a news server here running FreeBSD-stable and INN 1.4-unoff and I am having a consistent problem of kernel panics. The reason for the panic is usually something to the effect of "can't free vnode; free vnode isn't". This has been a problem ever since we first installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 on the machine and we have tried upgrading everything, even to the point of downloading the src tree for -stable and all the ctm deltas and running a make world. All to no avail, we still have the same problems as before. It should be noted that we are running INN 1.4-unoff and didn't build it from the ports collection, since we wanted the bug fixes in INN 1.4-unoff. What makes the problem even worse is that when it panics, it doesn't automatically reboot the machine, it requires that somebody hit a key to reboot. The last panic occurred at 2:30 last night and we didn't discover it was hanged until 11:00 this morning. We have heard that FreeBSD is a more appropriate operating system for a news server than Linux because of performance and stability issues. However, if we can't figure out what is causing these problems, we will have to switch to Linux because this occurs almost every day. Any help is appreciated.
