Oops... I simply sent file over scp and didn't checked that KMail extracted it (photographer is my co-worker, he sent photo attached in private email) to /tmp with mode 0400... Sorry to all tried and failed. :( Fixed now. And no, it was not short enough, until skipping "linking mismatch" messages. But here it is without them: kernel: page fault trap, code=0 Stopped at pf_icmp_mapping+0x38: movzwl 0x4(%rax),%eax ddb{0}> > Can you try a different type of keyboard though (PS/2 vs USB, or maybe > even just change keyboard emulation settings in the BIOS)), or try and > arrange serial console in case it happens again? it might be useful > to get that trace. As far as I remember, USB keyboards are useless in ddb(4) - am I wrong? Of course, I tried different PS/2 keyboards, that worked fine on another machines - just fail. There were other issues with keyboard (controller), even during install, but I was too busy to worry about it. Yes, I know that serial console should be very useful, but current situation in my company do not give me opportunity to order one for minimum next two months. :( "pf: state key linking mismatch" message is very easy reproducible for me, though: not directly ("touch that and it will happen"), but often enough ("it'll eventually happen in a minute, just open and close some connections"). -- Best wishes, Vadim Zhukov
