hi,

i'm trying to install freebsd 4.2-release on a dell poweredge 6450.
it has 4 xeon cpus at 700mhz and 4gb of memory.  my process is:

boot off kern.flp
insert mfsroot.flp
wait 10 seconds
and i get:

Fatal trap 12: pagefault in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0xbff11000
fault code = supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc02d3798
stack pointer = 0x10:0xc0671f34
frame pointer = 0x10:0xc0671f3c
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 = Idle
interrupt mask = net tty bio cam
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
Uptime: 0s

if i stop the autoboot of the kernel and do boot -v i get the same
fault.  prior to that, i get:

SMAP type=01 base=00000000 00000220 len = 00000000 00330000
SMAP type=01 base=00000000 00000220 len = 00000000 00330000
SMAP type=01 base=00000000 00000220 len = 00000000 00330000
SMAP type=01 base=00000000 00000220 len = 00000000 00330000
SMAP type=02 base=00000000 00000220 len = 00000000 00330000
SMAP type=02 base=00000000 00000220 len = 00000000 00330000
SMAP type=02 base=00000000 00000220 len = 00000000 00330000
SMAP type=02 base=00000000 00000220 len = 00000000 00330000

i didn't copy all the actual addresses - too tedious.  i'm also
assuming that there were 4 of the SMAP type=01 because they scrolled
off the screen and i couldn't retreive them.

i know that 4.2 will run on a 6450 - i have it running on another one.
the other one though only has 2 x 550mhz xeons and 1gb of memory.  

they both have ami megaraid 1600 (dell calls them PERC/2 or soemthing)
cards with some disks off them.

is it the fact that there are 4 cpus or 4gb of memory?  i thought fbsd
could handle that.  

i also made brand new floppies - same result.

any ideas?  i don't want to have to run linux on this puppy 8-(

thanks,

-jon
