Hey nerds!

    I'm having a bit of trouble with a new install of FreeBSD 4.0.  My =
copy of FreeBSD 3.4 'crashed' on me a couple days ago.  I was getting =
errors while running programs such as 'pico' or even 'ndc'.  Anyway, I =
did a format + CD-Rom installation of FreeBSD 4.0.  Ever since the =
install, my computer reboots itself automatically.  As I recall it does =
this when disk and network accesses are at an idle (this may having =
nothing to do with the problem though).  The error I've been receiving =
is as follow:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address: 0x8
fault code =3D supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer =3D 0x8:0xc01cd748
stack pointer =3D 0x19:0xc02f7804
frame pointer =3D 0x10:0xc02f780c
code segment =3D base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b, DPL 0, pres 1, =
def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags =3D interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL =3D 0
current process =3D Idle
interrupt mask =3D
trap number =3D 12
panic: page fault

syncing disks... 19 11
done
Uptime: 13m12s

    I haven't modified the hardware at all since I originally installed =
FreeBSD 3.4-Stable.  I have, however, made the following changes in =
hopes that I could find a solution to the problem:
=20
    1. Replaced the existing 128Mb DIMM with a different 128Mb DIMM.
    2. Replaced the existing 350MHz PII processor with a 400Mhz PII =
processor.
    3. Replaced the existing A-Bit BE6-II mainboard with an Asus P2B =
mainboard.
    4. Replaced the existing 250watt power supply with a 300watt power =
supply.
    5. Replaced the existing Quantum CX13.0 harddisk with a Quantum LM20 =
harddisk

    Essentially, the only hardware that has gone through all this with =
me are the network cards.  The NICs are both Realtek (8219 clone I =
think?).  I've also tried a macronix, but I only have one, so I can't =
rule out the fact that the system doesn't like my Realtek(s).  I think =
the biggest problem for me right now is that I can't decipher the error =
I'm getting.  One of the funniest (well, not really funny...) is that =
the current process is stated as being 'Idle'.  So is the system trying =
to tell me that it crashes when it's not doing anything?

    It would be excellent if anyone can point me in the right direction =
here!  Thanx in advance!
