[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi: I had a 150 days perfect working of my FreeBSD 2.2.6 machine (P200 Dell with SCSI 4GB /,/usr,/var and IDE 3GB /home). The system started crashing without any /var/log/messages and rebooted with the error message indicated in the attachment. I have isolated the machine and used the /home (old drive) and ran with a new OS and new HD for / /usr and /var but it showed crashing phenomena same after successful working of 3 days. Please help me in this regard. Abid Latif [-- Attachment #2 --] Current Machine : Intel Based PII with 64MB 2x3.2GB IDE HDD HDD Config : One HDD for /, /usr, /var (/swap and /proc) Second HDD for /home NIC SMC 9332BDT de0 Machine got held. No entry even through the console. Cold restart was made. System crashed without any /var/log/messages entry. Afterwards machine kept on rebooting after every 20-25 minutes with this type of message: Fatal trap error 12 while in kernel mode Fault virtual address: Fault Code : Supervisor write page not found Stack point: interrupt mask : Panic : Page fault Current Process : tar (it varies) Host id Autorebooting the system sync sync ....... The daemons running are: telnet, ftp, http, page, vm, syslog, lp, sendmail, comsats We changed the system with the following hardware setting also. Old Machine (Dell 200MMX SCSI HDD and /home HDD 64MB RAM) Crashed New Machine (Dell 200MMX Old SCSI and HDD same RAM) Crashed Old Machine (Dell 200MMX Old SCSI and HDD new RAM) Crashed Old Machine (Dell 200MMX Old SCSI and new HDD new RAM) Crashed The machine is now a new one with new kernel and new HDDs. Only httpd and pine are two programs which have been copied from the old machine. Also the NIC of the machine is also older one. It continued to work for 48+ hours but then crashed again twice with the same error. What might be the error ? OS has also been upgraded from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7 Another 24 hrs has passwd now and machine has not crashed.
