[andrew@aaa ~]$ uname -a FreeBSD aaa.wp.comcast.net 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:32:43 UTC 2006 root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 [andrew@aaa ~]$ I have problems with what appears to be kernel panics when accessing the disk (either reading or writing). This box does nothing at the moment but wait for me to install and configure something, since it's a test box and hasn't even made it to live testing yet. The panics usually happen when installing something via Ports. Today, as I was running a "make clean", I managed to get this one: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x20000 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x20:0xc083f0dc stack pointer = 0x28:0xdeaa3ad0 frame pointer = 0x28:0xdeaa3ae8 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 = 70455 (rm) trap number = 12 panic: page fault Uptime: 1h20m21s Cannot dump. No dump device defined. Then, while typing this email after the reboot from the panic above, I got the following: panic: softdep_deallocate_dependencies: dangling deps Uptime: 2m4s Cannot dump. No dump device defined. I'm guessing this happened while fsck was running in the background. What's the next step toward getting a stable box so I can complete my software configuration and testing? What other information do I need to post? Thanks.
