Description: Ran an install, selecting the USER package, from boot.flp of
Release 2.1.5 of FreeBSD on a 170 meg partition. Rebooted, and got a GPF
shortly into execution of /etc/rc. Rebooted again with the install disk,
moved /etc/rc to /etc/rc.old, and rebooted onto the installed system
again. Had init run /bin/sh, and got another panic when a process with
PID 31 was run (ls). Reproduced the problem with different processes, all
causing pretty much the same panic after a PID near 30 was reached. Same
thing with a swapfile and without one. The following kernel message is
the latest GPF caused by this problem:
Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf01a21ca
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 = 28 (ps)
interrupt mask = net tty bio
panic: general protection fault
Running the GENERIC kernel from 2.1.5. No problem with the kernel on
boot.flp. A similar problem occured in release 2.1.0, but it seemed to be
limited to ifconfig.
