I cvsup'd to the latest stable on Friday and installed a new kernel yesterday and got another panic with the same message (supervisor write, page not present). My panic's NEVER can complete sync'ing the disks, so I don't ever get core's. Jaime got a core from his pacnic's with the same message, though. Does anyone have any suggestions on what do next? This machine has been down for an average of 5 hours per week since this started happening - my users are getting kinda antsy (sp?).
