Hello hackers@,
I have a good question that I cant find an answer for. I believe
found a kernel bug in 7.3-RELEASE that prevents me from booting 64-bit
kernels on HP's DL360 G4p . The kernel dies with "Fatal trap 12: page
fault while in kernel mode " . The hardware works fine in 7.2-RELEASE
amd64, 7.1-RELEASE amd64, and 6.4-RELEASE amd64 .
In 7.3-RELEASE amd64 I can not boot from cd or pxe correctly using the
stock 7.3-RELEASE amd64 kernel however i386 works fine. To see if this
issue was some how fixed in 7.3-RELEASE-p4 amd64 I rebuilt a GENERIC
kernel using patches sources and tried to boot and I got the same
crash.
Next I rebuilt the kernel with KDB and DDB to see if I could get a
core-dump of the system. I also set loader.conf to
kernel="kernel.DEBUG"
kern.dumpdev="/dev/da0s1b"
Next I pxebooted the box and the system does not crash on boot up, it
will easily load a nfs root and work fine. So I copied my debug
kernel, and loader.conf to the local disk and rebooted and it boots
fine from the local disk .
Rebooting the server and running off the local disks and debug kernel,
I cant find any issues.
Reboot the box into a GENERIC 7.3-RELEASE-p4 kernel and it crashes
With this error
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00

What do I do , has anyone else seen anything like this ?
