This is as 486 system with world and kernel from 7th march. Until today the system freezed simply the screensaver,... today there was the first time I saw the panic and the kernel fell into the debugger after pressing a key to get rid of the saver. (probably the first time that the system had been left on console?) The trace shows stopping the saver and trying to restore the screen, then in vga_load_state+136 a missing page causing a pagefault. ... So later on swap_pager_getpages does a tsleep, but we are the "idle" process. As far as I know, "idle" should never tsleep and may not have pages pagedout.
