I just compiled a new kernel and I'm now having some serious
problems...

--- dmesg output ---

As you can see I have two IDE drives, a SCSI disk and a CDROM.  The
1st ide has /, /var, and swap on it while the SCSI has /usr .  What
I'm concerned about are those "vm_fault" and "Invalid field in CDB"
errors that seem to keep large processes from running.  This happends
even if I boot with the GENERIC kernel.

When I booted with this newest kernel, it didn't succeed the first
time.  It got into a loop of trying to start all the sttys, failing,
waiting 30 seconds and then trying again.  After about 5 minutes of
this I hit reset and when I booted again with the GENERIC kernel the
fsck failed and running it manually, I lost several file from my /usr
partition.  (Perhaps each one of the sttys got a sig 11 and died so
init kept trying to restart them?)  Having to hit reset, and not
knowing how to run fsck well enough I guess is what lost the files.
 
I have trouble believing that it was a coincedence that I just
happened to get some new hardware failure the exact moment I tried
running a new kernel.  It seems that they are related somehow.  I've
used this same hardware for running Linux, compiling large programs
there like emacs and new kernels and most recently installing FreeBSD
2.1.0 running large compiles like fvwm, xemacs, and now, a new
kernel.

I checked the archives of the FreeBSD mailing lists and there were a
few references, but nothing conclusive.  Do I just need to get 2.1.5?
Reformat my disks?  Help!

Thanks in advance,
Keith
