Date: Wed, 2 Nov 1994 06:47:06 GMT Organization: Rhodes University Lines: 47 Distribution: world Message-ID: <phaf.20.2EB735EA@giraffe.ru.ac.za> NNTP-Posting-Host: phes2.ru.ac.za Summary: Question or error encountered Keywords: Fatal trap 9 Greetings all Any of you folks out there know the source of my problem ? I have 386BSD 1.1.5.1 installed on a 486dx33 with 4 meg of mem. DOS is also on the machine. Everything worked fine (abeit a bit slow under X) untill I slotted in an extra 4 meg. I then got the following reprimand : The system starts up as usual : Testing (8Mb) etc.., checks all the devices, says : starting network, starting system logger, checking for core dump .... then.... Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode instruction pointer = 0x0168add processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 43 (kvm_mkdb) interrupt mask = net tty panic : general protection fault syncing disks...updating disks before rebooting...7 7 6 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 giving up dumping to dev 1, offset 1160 dump Then another version of the above appears but with the instruction pointer of 0x016875d and interrupt mask as net tty bio. It then tries to dump again but says Dump device not ready and reboots after 15 seconds. I have tried swapping the order of the simms, I even borrowed mem from another machine. The only thing that I can think could be causing the problem is that I only allowed 8 meg of swap space when I installed. Any help will be appreciated (greatly).
