Hey nerds!

I'm having a bit of trouble with = a new=20 install of FreeBSD 4.0. My copy of FreeBSD 3.4 'crashed' on me a = couple=20 days ago. I was getting errors while running programs such as = 'pico'=20 or even 'ndc'. Anyway, I did a format + CD-Rom installation = of=20 FreeBSD 4.0. Ever since the install, my computer reboots itself=20 automatically. As I recall it does this when disk and network = accesses are=20 at an idle (this may having nothing to do with the problem = though). The=20 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=20 1, def32 1, gran 1

processor eflags =3D interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = =3D=20 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=20 since I originally installed FreeBSD 3.4-Stable. I have, however, = made the=20 following changes in hopes that I could find a solution to the=20 problem:

1. Replaced the existing 128Mb = DIMM with a=20 different 128Mb DIMM.

2. Replaced the existing = 350MHz PII=20 processor with a 400Mhz PII processor.

3. Replaced the existing = A-Bit BE6-II=20 mainboard with an Asus P2B mainboard.

4. Replaced the existing = 250watt power=20 supply with a 300watt power supply.

5. Replaced the existing Quantum = CX13.0=20 harddisk with a Quantum LM20 harddisk

Essentially, the only hardware = that has=20 gone through all this with me are the network cards. The NICs = are=20 both Realtek (8219 clone I think?). I've also tried a macronix, = but I only=20 have one, so I can't rule out the fact that the system doesn't like my=20 Realtek(s).

One of the funniest (well, not = really=20 funny...) is that the current process is stated as being 'Idle'. = So is the=20 system trying to tell me that it crashes when it's not doing=20 anything?

It would be excellent if anyone = can point=20 me in the right direction here! Thanx in advance!
