So, I try an install of the 970919 snapshot, so I can get up and running with -current, and I get bitten by a kernel panic late in the install. The machine is a K5/90 with 32MB RAM on a VXPro motherboard with a VIA Apollo VP-1 chipset, S3 Trio64 on PCI, a real live Digital DE435 ethernet card as de0, and wd0, wd2, and wd3, all Quantum Fireballs. I boot into visual config and clean out all the ISA crap I'm not using. For the fun of it, sometimes I set 0xa0ffa0ff on wdc0 and wdc1, not that it makes any difference. I do an FTP or NFS install off a FreeBSD 2.2.2 box on the local network onto a single partition on wd0 on my crash box. The machine panics, apparently while showing the "Making device nodes" panel (depending on which VC I'm on, I can either get sysinstall's screen or the panic dump below), just after it's copied on kernel.GENERIC, and dies with something approximating this: [...] kernel.GENERIC 5038 blocks fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault VA = 0x78 fault code = supervisor read, page not present IP 8:f0134ed4 SP 10:f423af40 FP 10:f423af58 code segment = base 0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b DPL 0 pres 1 def32 1 gran 1 EFLAGS = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL 0 current process = 43 (sh) interrupt mask = (yup, that's blank) trap number = 12 It always panics exactly the same way, I think. (I've verified the panic message once, and it always panics at the same general point in the install.) BTW, kernel userconfig shows ide_pci0 as an unknown device under miscellaneous. Since I'm not running -current yet ;-), I have to do a bunch more work before I could debug this (make release, for one...), but if it's needed, I could do it. --jh -- Mr. Belliveau said, "the difference was the wise, John Hood, cgull intelligent look on the face of the cow." He was @ *so* right. --Ofer Inbar smoke.marlboro.vt.us
