The msg looks like: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode. Superuser read: page not present. Stopped at allocbuf+0x463 btrl .... I've replaced the CPU, motherboard, memory, power supply, disk controllers and cables - but I still get kernel panics. I've stripped the system down to the bare minimum. 1 video card, 1 disk controller, 1 ethernet and 2 drives. I'm using a TYAN motherboard (dual sockets, only one is filled) 200 MHZ Pentium 128M ram Symbios '875 SCSI controller Quantum Fast/Wide drive. Kingston Ethernet card (DEC tulip chip based) HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! HELP I've been trying to make this work for a week now. I'm just about ready to pitch the f*&$%ing thing into the wastbasket & buy a Sun. FreeBSD has worked great for our web servers and for four months, it worked great for our news server. Now it's as if someone put a curse on the news machine. No matter what I do, I just can't make it stay alive. -joe
