Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hey all, this message is in response to another message I posted earlier. Since nobody responded, I'm taking the assumption that no-one out there has experienced this problem, or that no-one has read my original message. Anyway, I was having problems since I upgraded to 4.0-Stable from 3.4-Stable. I was using a pair of Realtek NICs (rl0 & rl1), and it turns out that the server isn't compatible with these NICs - even though 3.4-Stable worked wonderfully with them. I replaced the NICs with different ones, and I've noticed no problems whatsoever - what a relief. I don't believe that the NICs aren't true Realteks - they're actual name is 'Genius (RTL8139)'. So, for future reference, if your server reboots every ten minutes with a fatal trap 12 error, this may help you on your way to finding the solution. -David Fuchs P.S. I did see a lot of questions on the mailing list regarding such issues, but I never saw a reply that actually stated a solution. It seems as if half the messages on these listings go unanswered - it's either that, or that once a solution is found the answer never gets posted.
