    Oh dear, my first experience with FreeBSD-5.2.1-RELEASE is not good:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ...
    playdog# mv downloads /v/downloads/nvidia
    playdog# ln -s ../v/downloads .
    mode = 040700, inum = 82, fs = /u
    panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc

    syncing disks, buffers remaining... 131 131 129 129 129 129 129 129 129 129 12
    9 129 129 129 129 129 129 129 129 129 129 129
    giving up on 90 buffers
    Uptime: 18m55s
    Shutting down ACPI
    Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is a freshly-installed machine [*]:
      Soltek EQ3702A
      Athlon 2500+ processor (166MHz FSB), 512MB RAM (166MHz)
      nVidia chipset

    /u and /v are two slices on the same Western Digital 80GB IDE drive.

    [*] Actually it previously had a 4.8 install on it. I did an install over
    and newfs'd all the slices except data slices /u, /v, /w; I noticed that
    sysinstall did an fsck_ffs on those slices.

    I had compiled and was running my own kernel, which was just GENERIC with
    some stuff taken out (removed I486/I586, INET6, most of the SCSI stuff). I
    was getting ready to compile an nvidia network driver - I had attached a USB
    floppy, copied some files off it, and unmounted the floppy, before doing the
    lines shown above.

    The system was running for several hours yesterday, including a complete
    kernel rebuild, without any crashing - so I'm fairly sure the hardware is
    OK.

    The only odd thing I have noticed about this system is that when running the
    GENERIC kernel (from the install CD or after installation), it locks up just
    after mounting the root filesystem, requiring a hard reboot. The only way to
    get round this is to choose "safe mode" at boot time. However when running
    my own compiled kernel I don't have this problem.

    A diff of my kernel against GENERIC is attached. Sorry I don't have anything
    else like a crash dump.

    I was rather hoping not to see this sort of problem with 5.2.1; maybe I
    should just install 4.9 instead :-(

    Regards,

    Brian.
