Can anyone help me figure out why my system is panic'ing?
I have finally been able to reproduce the problem.
If I choose several packages to install via cdrom,
the system will panic and automatically reboot.
Below are the panics that I have been able to
generate from simply selecting several packages and
installing them from the cd with /stand/sysinstall.
(I have paraphrased the errors since I couldn't
write them down fast enough and I don't know where
to find them if they are logged.)
1) panic: page fault
synching disks 133 133 133 ......
2) panic: ffs_valloc valloc failed
synching disks ...
Also, I was able to generate the following panic by doing a control C
while copying from the cdrom to my hard drive.
3) Fatal Trap 12: page fault in kernel mode
fault mode: supervisor write, page does not exist(or something like that)
Some comments:
1) The panics seem to occur when the cd is operationing
2) The panics seem to occur when the cd is at its maximum speed.
The cd is variable speed. I can tell by the pitch changes is makes.
Here are some system specs:
