I'm *NOT* getting anything of this form (from the FAQ): Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x40 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf014a7e5 stack pointer = 0x10:0xf4ed6f24 frame pointer = 0x10:0xf4ed6f28 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 80 (mount) interrupt mask = trap number = 12 panic: page fault All I get is the single line error message in the system log: acd0: unknown transfer phase and then the computer drops to a POST and reboots. I see nothing on my screen between the error and the POST. One of the diagnostic steps that the FAQ mentions is to trace the instruction pointer. My assumption was that if the system was going to give me a message like that, I'd see it before the POST, but I wanted to make sure that I didn't need to be looking for that message in a log somewhere, or changing a configuration option somewhere to make the system generate an error message of that form, because I definitely don't see that before the POST.
