I have a fresh install of 4.7 RELEASE on a AMD K6-200 with 32 MB RAM. And,
I keep getting kernel panics.
The first sign of any problem was while I was installing. I checked the CD
for md5sum errors. But, it was ok. So, I tried an FTP (passive) install.
Still, every attempt crapped out until I finally selected the minimal
install. All that I can remember it would say was, "syncing disks..."
Now that I have an installation, another problem occurs when I run
"portsdb -Uu". It get about 5 minutes through and then it panics and does
an automatic reboot. I've tried to capture the messages to screen. But, it
usually reboots before I can write it all down. One message on the screen
that I haven't been able to catch completely says something like: "panic:
vm_object_deallocated allocated too many times".
Another message is longer and stays on screen. It says:
<quote>
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0xc4427f42
fault code = supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc0376d4f

processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0

interrupt mask = none
trap number =12
panic: page fault
syncing disks...
</qoute>
My guess is that I have some bad memory or something. But, that's just a
very uneducated guess.
Thanks for any help,
Darren
