Unfortunately didn't have time to setup and get a dump of the kernel panic as I had to get the machine up and running ASAP. Replaced the netcard with an em and all was well. Test to reproduce should be rsync on a dir with some large files in. Steve ---snip--- This could be the problem. Well, it was hard enough convincing mgmt to let me use FreeBSD instead of RedHat. But I am not going to get budget for new nics...especially when the worked before. If ANYONE can help...I would appreciate it. Again, to restate, nge driver is causing a "panic: page fault". sp0ng3b0b wrote: > I've been told that this might be fixed in CURRENT.
