hi 

I just upgraded my machine to 2.2.1

I wrote a simple shell script using tcsh and I was amazed when 
I landed in the kernel debugger when executing it. It seems
the culprit is the cd command.

This is the offending bit of script : 

#!/bin/tcsh

set t_dir=/usr/X11R6

if ( -de $t_dir ) then 
   cd $t_dir
else 
   mkdir $t_dir
   cd $t_dir
endif

The directory would get created, but the cd $t_dir would 
invoke the debugger:

vnode_pager_getpages : I/O read error
vm_fault : pager input (probably hardware) error

Fatal trap 12 : page fault while in kernel mode


btw, the machine is a P-133 with 32M RAM, Conner 1,6G IDE drive.
If it is a hardware error, how do I find out what it is?
I don't mind doing some debugging, but I don't really know what
to look for. 

Help is appreciated

pierre
