Re: FreeBSD 6.2 AMD64 crashing frequently

Same here, running 6.2 (August STABLE release) on a rather old Dell 600SC
(i386 version). I doubt this is an hardware issue since the same box
never crashed with FreeBSD-4.11. For curiosity, do you have ipfilter
installed?

No.

Only ipfw.

We suffered another crash this morning, this time it was a Fatal trap
9: general protection fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointed: 0x0:0xfffffffff80634388
current process = 35 (agedaemon)
stopped at: pmap_ts_referenced:0xa0: pop

Extremely frustrating.... FreeBSD had been sto stable until recently on
this machine

I am really frustrated too as I spent a lot of time to move from 4.11 to
6.2. I tried 6.2-RELEASE and the most recent STABLE release and always the
panic message (see below). I am back to 4.11 on the same hardware. Solid
like rock. The fact that you do not use ipfilter helped me.

Thanks
