Anyone else getting kernel page faults while attempting to install
FreeBSD 2.1.6 (Walnut Creek CDROM dist)?
===
Fatal trap 12: Page fault while in kernel mode
virtual address = 0x3200000
code = Supervisor read, page not present
instruct ptr = 0x8:0xf01a3f68
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0
current process = 50 (cpio)
interrupt mask = net tty bio

This has occured in the middle of the 'newfs' commands, or right
after when starting to extract te 'bin' distribution (which the above
info is from).
Have installed 2.0.5, 2.1.0, and 2.1.5 successfully on this machine in
the past...
My first install was almost succesful, however I discovered that I
couldn't create more than 6 filesystems + 1 paging (I guess an 8 slice
limit ('a'-'h')? Though I'm not sure why 6+1=8). Install turned the
last slice into "/dev/X", which was cute, but hardly helpful. So, to
take the easy way out I just decided to reinstall and collapse 3 of
the filesystems into a >1G /home. *SHRUG*. Shouldn't be a problem
since the max filesystem size is large, If I recall...
Anyone have any ideas?
