Help! Had initial success with FreeBSD 2.2.2-R, and so upgraded one of our
main servers to it. But last night, the server just went catatonic (no
error message, just a crash) and hung. Then, this morning, the server
crashed with the following message on the screen:
---------------
Fatal trap 26: segment not present fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf016ab85
stack pointer = 0x10:0xf018c000
frame pointer = 0x10:0x0
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 =
panic: segment not present fault
syncing disks... 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 giving up
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
Rebooting...
----------------
Whereupon it didn't reboot but hung instead. We were very lucky that no
files were lost due to the failure to sync, and that there was someone
physically present to reboot it.
The machine will have to run unattended over Memorial Day Weekend. Does
anyone know the source of this instability or how to fix it?
