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. Gavin Lewis zylo@wspice.com
