I have eventually managed to get new 60ns tin-contact SIMMs from my vendor which seem to make all my panics and spurious "cc1 got signal 11" disappear! Thanks to all who gave me the good advice. Now I'm shaking my machine, and under some rather heavy load and swap conditions I see tons of message like: vnode_pager_output: residual I/O 4096 at 11059200 vnode_pager_output: I/O error 45 vnode_pager_output: residual I/O 4096 at 15826944 vnode_pager_output: I/O error 45 vnode_pager_output: residual I/O 4096 at 24330240 appearing in the console. The system doesn't seem upset though, no process died, nothing. Should I interpret this as the result of a disk I/O error ? I would have expected the wdc0 driver to complain as well (IDE boot & swap disk)... Would anyone please enlighten me ?
