Hi all!
I've just installed FreeBSD 4.0 Release, and the box has been rebooting
at least once every two hours or so. It isn't doing anything, or
running any strange daemons that wasn't there after the install, and it
does this regardless of whether or any users (me) are logged in or
anything. I couldn't work out how to get hold of the panic message
thingie, but it looks a lot like some on the mailing list archives, eg.:
fatal trap 12 page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address 0x0
fault code =supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer 0x8:0xf01a5b26
stack pointer 0x10:0xefbffe34
frame pointer 0x10:0xefbffe80
code segment base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
DPL 0, pres 1, def 32 1, gran 1
processor flags interrupt enabled, resume IOPL=0
current process 321 (pkg_add)
interrupt mask ufs
panic page fault
I've done some browsing through the mailing list archives, and
\emph{many} have had this problem. The link down here is the only
definitive answer I managed to find.

I'll do as it says, but does anyone have any other ideas? this was a
really disappointing start to a new toy.
Thanks in advance!
