What happens? IT BECOMES STABLE. I'm no kernel hacker, but.. if you apply the patch below, does it still panic? Make sure to get rid of the printf() you added. The theory behind this patch is that kernbase isn't initialized at the time of that assert, yet code from printf initializes it. --- dtrace_isa.c.orig 2009-05-21 21:18:54.000000000 +0200 +++ dtrace_isa.c 2009-05-21 21:23:40.000000000 +0200 @@ -40,7 +40,8 @@ #include <vm/vm_param.h> #include <vm/pmap.h> -extern uintptr_t kernbase; +//extern uintptr_t kernbase; +static uintptr_t kernbase = KERNBASE; uintptr_t kernelbase = (uintptr_t) &kernbase; #define INKERNEL(va) (((vm_offset_t)(va)) >= USRSTACK && \ -- Mel
