   Hello,

 I know I posted a few messages here in the past, but maybe someone who is
good at tracking kernel problems can step up and lend a hand.

 I have a machine running FBSD 4.0-STABLE, and have been experiencing almost
daily kernel panics or reboots on the machine.  I have replaced ALL of the 
hardware, and reloaded the OS, but still having troubles.  I am at a bit of
a loss as to what is going on.  From one panic, I thought well maybe this
is an SMP issue, but removed one of the CPU's and still the box crashes. As
I have basically replaced everything, I am at a loss as to where to go from
here, so looking for some type of pointers or help with this..


 The other day I was there, and got the following from one of the crashes,
as many times I am gone and luckally in some ways the box will just panicboot 
and go on it's way.  Here is what I was able to copy down:


Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
mp_lock=01000002; cpuid=1; lapic.id=01000000
fault virtual address= 0x30
fault code= supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer= 0x8:0xC01CAF71
stack pointer= 0x10:0xFF80DE48
frame pointer= 0x10:0xFF80DE4C
code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xFFFFF, type 0x1B
            = DPL 0, pres 1, def 32, gran 1
processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0
current process = idle
interupt mask= bio <- SMP: XXX
trap number= 12
panic: page fault


The formatting of it may not be perfect, but the information should be 
accurate, as I tried to be precise on what I wrote down.  Also here are
a few previous messages I had posted a while back when I thought this 
might be network related, but after trying several different NIC's I still
have the same issues.  I will include the info below, as maybe it will 
have some value in trying to debunk this problem.

====

  Hello, I am running a 4.0-STABLE machine which is being used to host an
Undernet IRC server, and the machine keeps dying at times, or should I say
the networking side of it is at least dying.  At first I thought it might
have been related to the dc (DEC Chip) based drivers, so I replaced it with
a EEpro board using the fxp driver, but the same results.  

 I have also set MNBCLUSTERS to 20480, and when I do a netstat I see in
general plenty of free clusters, but suspect I must be running out of some
other resource.  If I do a netstat -m, I see info like this:

u2$ netstat -m
1697/2144/81920 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
        498 mbufs allocated to data
        1199 mbufs allocated to packet headers
221/514/20480 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
1296 Kbytes allocated to network (50% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines


When the machine last froze, the Kbytes allocated to the network was 99% in 
use, and the mbufs were up to about 20K of the 80K allocated, but I saw no
calls for memory denied or delayed.

Still after a few hours of uptime, I start seeing errors like this, and then
the machines network interface dies and I have to reboot to get everything
back in operation:

Mar 27 12:39:00 u2 /kernel: fxp0: device timeout
Mar 27 12:39:00 u2 syslogd: sendto: No buffer space available
Mar 27 12:39:38 u2 last message repeated 2 times

Mar 27 12:44:15 u2 syslogd: sendto: No buffer space available
Mar 27 12:44:04 u2 last message repeated 8 times


Not sure what other information to send, but here is a dmesg on the machine,
and if anyone has any ideas, or needs more info please let me know.  It's
very annoying to have to reboot this machine daily, sometimes more often.. :(

=====

First as mentioned previously I had an Intel EEpro card in the box running
to my Cisco Catalyst switch, and on the console when everything fell apart
and I lost connectivity, I see the following:

fxp0: device timeout
syslogd: sendto: No buffer space available


Here is some of the requested debugging information:

Now to probably complicate things more, I replaced the EEpro card with 
a DEC 21143 based board using the dc driver, and with that card the 
machine dies a little less often, but when it does the machine usually 
hangs hard, or reboots.  Catching the console before it's totally dead, 
I can see the following message scrolling on the screen:

dc0: watchdog timeout

Different than the error from the EEpro card, but still network related,
so again I dumped the above information for comparison, and here it is:

All of the above stats were taken while the network card was spitting out 
errors prior to performing a reboot which brings the box back online.  I 
also tried unplugging the nic and plugging it back in without out any 
change.  I also over time have replaced everything in the box except the 
case, but still the problem persists, and in fact took the old hardware
and built a different machine that works fine.  So something related to 
the heavy use by the IRC programs is killing this thing almost daily, and
I am at a loss as to what.

If you or anyone here on the list has any ideas, I would sure love to 
hear them, as it would be nice to get to the bottom of this issue...

=====


Guess thats about it for now, and hopefully someone can give me some
pointers, or lend a hand in trying to get this issue resolved as it's 
driving me nutz.. :)
