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 Hi guys. I recently upgraded to a new motherboard / cpu / memory / video card and now that I am trying to run freebsd, I am getting rather random page faults out of the blue. Heres the run down: EPOX mainboard, socket 7 with AGP (100 Mhz bus) 64 Megs of SDRAM, a single DIMM (100 Mhz) AMD k6-2 / 300 (100 Mhz Bus) Ultra DMA IDE drive, 6.4 gigs... A Diamond Viper 330 AGP. (note, not doing any graphics here. page faults are occuring in text mode) Basically this started up with FreeBSD 2.2.6... everything seemed fine at first, everything went as planned. I decided to cvsup to the 2.2.7 release, I downloaded the cvsup binary from the ports and insatlled it. I started the cvsup and it crapped out. I tried several other things, and it crapped out randomly there too... well, I had done quite a bit in the way of disk partitioning lately so I thought maybe somehow I had screwed my 2.2.6 setup. I thought what the heck and grabbed my older 2.2.1 CD since thats what I had at home. I booted off the cdrom to do an install and this went well. I went through the partitioning information, set up booteasy, setup the mount points and such, selected the installation method, and then WHAM. page faulted again. So, while I realize the above config is fairly new and all, I wanted to see if you guys have had any problems with the above hardware. Heck, at this point I'm not trying to do anything special, and I figured what the heck, I would give it a try. Thanks for your help and insight.
