I want to install FreeBSD via FTP on a Compaq Deskpro 2000 PC (Pentium 166 with 48M RAM), I tried this for several times. During installation, I met a same problem again and again - page fault. Installation program turns to panic mode after that and reboot the PC in 15 seconds. Because of this I have to install a minimal system on my machine, however, after installation the problem still exists, the error message is as follows: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fatal virtual address = 0x8 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction point = 0x8:0xc01cf0c4 stack pointer=0x10:0x31ac64 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc031ac6c code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xffff, type 0x1b = Dol0, pres1, def321, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enable, resume IPL = 0 current process = Idle interrupt mask = trap number = 12 panic: page fault .......... Could you please tell me what is wrong with the whole system and what should I do? I am looking forwards to your answer, thank you very much.
