Sometime (about 50%) when I boot my system I get: panic: malloc: wrong bucket And then the system will reboot and need to check the disks (this sucks with a 2 and 4 gig disk). Why am I getting this error. I also got this when I was installing and had to start over. This is my hardware: 486 DX4 100 64 megs or ram SMC ethernet card 2 gig / drive 4 gig /var/spool/news drive Freebsd 2.0.5 I dont think it is the hardware because I am using FreeBSD as a router wihth the same 486 DX4 100 MB and ethernet cards.
