Do you know something? Spill it, man! There is a bizarre bug in the 2.2.2-RELEASE kernel that causes a fatal trap if and only if you have 48M of memory. If you have 32, 40, 56, 64M or anything else, it works fine, but 48M is fatal. You can either remove some memory for the install, or (preferably) install a later snapshot of the 2.2-STABLE tree from releng22.freebsd.org > K.S. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
