Reddy" Subject: Fatal double fault Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a system that keeps giving "Fatal double faults" after having an uptime of a few hours. The system freezes , and I get the message: Fatal double fault: eip = 0x171c6 esp = 0xefbfcc48 ebp = 0xefbfcc74 panic:double fault syncing disks . . . System stats are: Cyrix 6x86L PR200+ 128 MB Ram 1 IDE hard drive (root) 3 Seagate Cheetahs striped together using ccd Running: Diablo (The news feed management program) My only guess is that having a Cyrix chip in the same box as the 3 Cheetahs is overheating the chip, but I can't tell for certain. The case is a full tower with extra fans blowing through it.
