I had to on an emergency basis replace my aging P-1 Firewall. The guys at my hosting company gave me an AthlonXP 2200+, and with 6.1 (all the way up to today's RELENG_6_1), it works fine.

I tried(!) to put 6.2-PRE (RELENG_6) on it, but no matter what I do, it panics when either NTPD or SSHD starts (depending on whats first).

Unfortunately, I don't have the exact panic (it's a page not present, and if I understood my remote eyes/hands right, a NULL de-reference).

The box is 300+ miles away (Distance from Austin, TX to Dallas, TX).

Anyone got ideas?

It looks like the attached patch was missed in the MFC I just pointed at. Could you try applying it?

Normally, I'd be more than happy to, but, given:
1) the box is 300+ miles away
2) I do NOT have access to remote hands again till Tuesday (Holiday)
3) this is my firewall between all my services and the rest of the world
and if down, I'm off the air :(

I wish I could, but can't afford to be down for the 5 days :(

Thanks for the diagnosis, however, as I was going nuts.


Thanks,
Larry Rosenman
