I don't actually have any PCI peripherals in the system. It does have a WD8003E ethernet card, generic VGA, and Adaptec 1542CF SCSI controller, with several large drives. The machine is running inn from the ports directory. Every few days it crashes. The motherboard and drives have been replaced with various other models and the crashing behavior continues. Here is the panic report from the latest crash: Fatal trap 1: privileged instruction fault while in kernel mode instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf01a31e4 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 = 19748 (awk) interrupt mask = bio panic: privileged instruction fault I've read on this list that many people are successfully running news servers for long periods of time, but I'm just not having the same luck no matter who much equipment I change out. Any ideas? Brian Litzinger brian@mediacity.com
