2.2.2R on my news machine will die 30 to 90 minutes after a reboot.

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.
