It's VMware under Linux, with FBSD 3.1-R. Doing config in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf always crashes this system. (Well, actually _once_ I was able to make a new kernel...) The output from one of the crashes: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x5000400 fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf015a8ce stack pointer = 0x10:0xf2ed0d9c frame pointer = 0x10:0xf2ed0d9c code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, IOPL = 0 current process = 202 (config) interrupt mask = bio trap number = 12 panic: page fault syncing disks... 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 giving up Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort Rebooting... One interesting thing is that the kernel has a misconception about the processor speed (it's a 300 MHz Celeron): Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz CPU: Celeron (1722.67-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x660 Stepping=0 Features=0x183f9ff> The numbers are not the same on every boot, but they're always quite big. I'm posting it because it probably can provide some additional information to the original post. If it's only a waste of bandwidth then I'm terribly sorry...
