Panic: free address 0xd760d000 (0xd760d000) has not been allocated

2004-01-22 Thread Ted Goodridge, Jr.
I'm offlist, so please CC me directly.

I am using FreeBSD current.  This always happens as I'm installing the 
ports collection, at about math, and it dies on me.

This happens either during install, or after install using both a tarball 
and the install set from CD.  If I could get a way to ftp the dmesg out, I 
would, but I'm not sure how.

I have a Mylex Acceleraid 250 controller with 16 MB of ram and that is 
where my /usr partition is.  I'm happy to get more information if you can 
give me an idea how.  I want to try and make this work.  I googled for 
this type of error, and all I found was references to SMP.

My hardware is
333 Pentium II
512 Megs ram
BX motherboard
Mylex Acceleraid 250
DEC 10 Mbit PCI card
Intel clone 100Mbit PCI card
Matrox G250 AGP video
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ted

Borrowing ideas is essential to progress in the computer industry.
Technically; you measure progress not by market results, but by the
spread of ideas.  The value of ideas lies not in how much money the one
company that owns those ideas makes, but by how readily those ideas are
given away and used by everybody as a community good.
It is nice to be an idealist, but the reality is that a lot of
superior technology has gone by the wayside - its line snuffed out
only because it was unable to gain sufficiently in the market place.
Microsoft did not gain its position because of superior technology
in the products they sold, but in superior abililty in the marketplace - 

sometimes abilities that we question should be exercised - eg may not
have been for the common good.
Even (or perhaps
I should say especially) IBM and MicroSoft are part of this ecology of
ideas; you need look no further than MS DOS or the 5150 (and their
competition) to see the importance of this.
The alpha microprocessor comes to mind:killed by DEC stealth marketing. A 
vastly superior technology to peecees, yet beaten in the end by better 
marketing and price pressures.  There are many, many other examples of this 
axiom.
