Hello, I have been encountering the following panic for several months. I have been running this particular machine since June '97 on 2.2.2-Release. I initially got a similar Fatal trap 12 during the install, the workaround was to disable cpu caching in the bios during the install, then go back afterwards and re-enable. For the last several months I have become more dedicated to configuring this machine as my time frees up. I have changed out the memory in hopes it was a corrupt Simm, no luck. The Mo. Board is an Octek Hippo with an Intel Overdrive Cpu, it originally had an Intel 486 dx 4 /100. I seemed to get the same panic with either CPU. It has a Promise IDE controller with 2 ide drives, 1.6G and 540 MB seagate. It also has a 3Com 3C509 III ethernet card, I do remember seeing that the ep0 interface was buggy? I beleive that was on www.freebsd.com. I do not have another ethernet card swap at the moment. Following what is logged after the core dump:
developer kernel log messages:

 I do not have much expereince with system programming in Unix so any help will be greatly appreciated, even a pointer in the right direction as to debug methods or documentation.
TIA
