Hello,
I'm repeatably getting panics during the installation process when I
attempt to install on a new machine. Here are the details:
Mobo: Asus A7V133
CPU: 1000 MHz AMD Athlon "T-Bird" w/266 MHz backside cache
RAM: 256 MB PC133
HD: 41.1 GB Ultra ATA/100 (IBM DTLA-305040) (primary master)
CD: 24x ATA (secondary master)
VGA: ATI Xpert2000, 32MB AGP
Ethernet: Realtek 8139C (physically removed in desperation, while trying
CD installs)
I'm installing from the 4.2R CD, since I don't have my 4.3 yet. I'm able
to boot off the CD and go through the opening bits of sysinstall - I'm
using Standard (Novice?) mode and installing the "Developer"
distribution set. Part of the way through the installation process, I
get:
21177344 bytes read from scontrib dist, chunk 89 of 126 @ 544.2 KB/sec.
panic: page fault
syncing disks...
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0xc5483230
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc02773b4
stack pointer = 0x10:0xcb586d44
frame pointer = 0x10:0xcb586d70
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 4 (bufdaemon)
interrupt mask = bio
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
Uptime: 6m35s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
--> Press a key on the console to reboot <--
On subsequent attempts the chunk number, fault virtual address and
uptime change, but not the other numbers. And of course the bottom line
remains.
I thought I might possibly have a bad CD, but attempts to install 4.3R
via FTP using the boot floppies have yielded similar results.
I've done this many times before on other machines, but never
encountered such trouble. Any ideas? Every hint will be appreciated...
TIA.
