I didn't note down the messages, but the kernel always whines about vm pages not being present, or hash lookups not successfull. It always happens at some point shortly after having mounted the various filesystems. I am used to make world often, my system is the following: $ uname -a FreeBSD jsite.lefort.net 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #1: Wed Apr 17 08:38:42 CEST 2002 jylefort@jsite.lefort.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JSITE i386 I do not retain my CPU or RAM as being the problem, since I never had any panic on this hardware before, and it runs FreeBSD since 4.4-RELEASE. Moreover, if it boots successfully, then it works fine; make buildworld and make buildkernel are always successfull. The problems started in April; my gateway, running $ uname -a FreeBSD gateway.lefort.net 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Sat Mar 16 00:56:12 CET 2002 jylefort@gateway.lefort.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GATEWAY i386 never paniqued; however, I rebooted it only once since the 16 March, date of its last make world. My FreeBSD system is now, in boot phase, as stable as the crappiest windoze box. Any enlightenment will be appreciated (eg. am I the only one to endure this, or -STABLE became a lil' bit bogus since a few weeks?)
