I have updated a system from FreeBSD 4.10 to 5.3 (I did a fresh new installation from scatch). At the same time we put a new CPUs in there. The system is now a dual Xenon 3.2 GHZ with hyperthreading. When there's load on the server, it crashes. Here is what I get on the console: kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 3; apic id = 07 fault virtual address = 0x8 fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc064973e stack pointer = 0x10:0xe338fc00 frame pointer = 0x10:0xe338fc0c code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 1 (init) trap number = 12 panic: page fault cpuid = 3 spin lock sleepq chain held by 0xc22ad320 for > 5 seconds What could be the cause? The system was very stable with FreeBSD 4.10 and only 2 CPUs (1 real and 1 virtual). When I've seen page faults in the past, it was caused by the RAM or the motherboard. Is it almost always the case? Does the fact to add 2 new CPUs is more likely to reveal a RAM problem that was not known before? Thanks
