Attached below is a copy of his message to a newsgroup (comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc) FreeBSD V4 crashes during le0 (DE203) config. --- Starts here --- I'm unable to start the network of V4 on Intel platform, using Digital DE203 NIC's. This was a working system under V3.3 and W95. Installation via V4 ISO CD image from web. Copied the kit and checked md5 signature - ok. Wrote image to CD then installed the V4.0 kit. Everything installed and went perfectly, until I configured the network. Various incarnations were applied. First sequence: - install FreeBSD V4 without configuring the network - Login as root - And type ifconfig le0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 - Which results in (full details): Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode Fault virtual address: 0x0 Fault code: Supervisor read, page not present Instruction pointer: 0x8:0x0 Stack pointer 0x10: 0xcccced7c Frame pointer: 0x10: 0Xcccced90 Code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b - DPL0, pres 1 def32 1, gran 1 Processor flag=interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL-0 Current process = 179 (ifconfig) Inerrupt mask = net tty Trap number = 12 Panic: page fault -- When I re-install V4.0 with le0, I get slightly different information: During reboot sequence... Starting standard daemons: inetd crontab sendmail Mode = 041777, inum=108, fs=/ Panic: ffs_valloc, dup alloc Synching disks 39 39 26 2 Done Uptime 4.5 ------ Ok - finished with the CD from the net, as the V4 CDset just arrived. Using CD from boxed kit results in: Attempt 1 Install V4 using the visual interface. Configure the network device le0 to I/O 300, irq 10, mem oxd0000 The install hangs while probing for devices Attempt 2 Install V4 (without configuring the network), then rebooted Boot -c Using visual installer, modified the device le0 results in crash Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode Fault Virtual Address : 0x30 Fault code device = supervisor write, page not present Instruction pointer = 0x8:0c0227d6f ... code segment = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0 current process = idle Interrupt mask = net tty bios cam Uptime : 0s --- PC Configuration Intel PIII-450, 256MB, Gigabyte BX2000, DE203 NIC (hence le0 device), Quantum CX 6G, using a second partition as FreeBSD. NIC Settings: irq 10, iomem 0xD0000, port 300 Miscellaineous device pcic0 was removed to avoid conflict with NIC irq. I'd really appreciate some advice... Dewayne. ------------------------------------ Ends here :) --------------------------------- It is my 'hope' to go to FreeBSD 4.0 - the "problem" is, I too have DE203 NICs in a couple of my machines at home, so I will be having the same problem real soon now.
