Hi,

Tried booting FREEBSD7.0 Release #1 on a a dell poweredge SC1425. I get
an error 12: page fault in kernel mode (on write). Backtrace shows
garbage, a few calls in section _end... The fault is very early on,
literally copyright message, a message about memory above 4GB ignored
then crash. Incidentally this is a non-PAE build. Config attached below.

Couldn't find any other similar reports. I have remote gdb access to
machine so if you need further information let me know.

Thanks!

Does this problem happen if you use the GENERIC kernel config as
your kernel config (rather than using a heavily customised one)?
