However, there have been 2 kernel panics (in the 4 months of usage), which I suspect happens under when memory runs very low. I'd have expected ppp to die instead of O/S, though. I intend to upgrade to 2.2.5-R, when my CD arrives (it sure is taking a long time..), but I thought I'd bring this to the attention of freebsd-questions. kakapo kernel log messages: > > > Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode > fault virtual address = 0xf057a000 > fault code = supervisor read, page not present > instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf013d087 > stack pointer = 0x10:0xefbffd80 > frame pointer = 0x10:0xefbffd9c > code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b > = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 > processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 > current process = 24356 (ppp) > interrupt mask = > panic: page fault > > syncing disks... 15 15 14 11 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 giving up -- Jonathan Chen | "Vini, vidi, velcro... | I came, I saw, I stuck around"
