Paschich" Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG So I just got me a shiny new IBM Aptiva with one of them wacky Athlon processors in it, and FreeBSD 3.x won't load on it. Booting from the floppies in the Jan 9 -STABLE snapshot, the kern and mfsroot floppies load fine, and the kernel configures all the devices, then just after the "changing root device to fd0c" message, I get the following: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x24 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc021aef4 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc197ce90 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc197cea4 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 = 1 (sysinstall) interrupt mask = net tty bio cam trap number = 12 panic: page fault I have also tried this with floppies made from the 3.3-RELEASE and 3.4-RELEASE CD's and got similiar messages (may even have been exactly the same but I didn't take the trouble to copy them down directly.) Machine is a 500Mhz Athlon with 128M ram, a big honkin IDE disk and an Intel (fxp) ethernet board stuck in it. Anyone have ideas? I may play with earlier releases to try and narrow down if this ever woulda worked. I'll also be happy to try out boot floppies for someone. -------- David G.
