Hello!

I've been having a heck of a time getting an ASUS P/I P55T2P4 motherboard
working with my custom 2.2 kernels.  I think it's related to the serial
hardware somehow, but I need someone to decode this panic and confirm.
I've included the boot info to help locate where it is.  This is captured
from a serial console (-h) output.  The message appears just as the system
would pop up the gettys:

configuring syscons: keyrate.

Local package startup: Modula-3 sshd.

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

current process         = 5 (sh)
interrupt mask          = net tty
panic: page fault

I can also get this panic (with the _same_ detail) if I exit X (I have a 
serial mouse) or when Kermit quits.  I think it's having trouble closing
the serial port.  

Disabling either port doesn't help.  I can't try disabling both, then I
can't run the apps that force the panic.

Specs on this machine:

ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 motherboard w/ P133 CPU, 32mb RAM
FreeBSD:  2.2-anything
Video: ATI Mach64 GX
SCSI:  NCR 53c815 
Network:  3com 3c900
Audio:  GUS PnP
IDE/Serial/Parallel port board (parallel enabled only)

The machine is otherwise perfectly stable.  

One odd note:  If I run the 2.2-970206-GENERIC kernel, it works fine.  X
complains there's no shared memory or MIT-SHM extensions, but it works.
