Reply-To: aarone@homer.prahran.swin.edu.au Priority: normal X-Mailer: PMail v3.0 (R1a) Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greets to all.. I hope someone can help me out here!! I am getting an incredible amount of panic/page faults on my 1.1.5.1 system, sometimes 15 a day. It doesnt do alot of work, maybe 5 or so connections at any one time, with peak loads (classes) of 20 or so. I cant tell you when it happen, it happens all different times, sometimes its as good as gold, sometimes it pops straight after a reboot, with noone logged it! The students only run vi writting their shell scripts like happy little vegemites. It runs on a 486DX2-66 VLB (Award BIOS) only with 16Mb RAM and 540Mb Conner EIDE HDD , ET-4000 Video Card and VLB I/O card. The ethernet card is an SMC Ultra. It runs the default kernal, and has no weird or wonderfull pakages in it. Its a factory default system! Is there a variable I can tweak maybe? What is a page fault? Why are we? Thanks Heaps in anticipation! Aaron Elliott, CNA. [VK3AJQ] Swinburne University of Technology, Prahran Campus. Melbourne Australia. InterNet: aarone@homer.prahran.swin.edu.au.
