I tried installing the very latest snapshot on my 68k Mac and the kernel
crashed. The installation was done on a clean disk, i.e. not an upgrade
from an old installtion. The binaries are dated 1/2/99 (kernel and
userland) based on sources from 1/2/99. The X components are dated
12/19/98. Booting to single user works, but the kernel panics when going
to multi-user. Usually it's one of the system daemons that takes the
system down, in this dump it was xdm.
xdmuvm_fault(0x155420, 0x3faf6000,0,0x1) -> 0x1

_Debugger(2004,8,2f060,809bc4,1374bc) + 6

_sys_open(7e3138,809f88,809f80) + 7e
_syscall(5) + 14c
_trap0() + e
This panic and traceback is very similar to the panic I get trying to
install and run the standard 1.3.3 release on the same system. In that
case it's usually PPP that brings the system down. I know UVM has been
thourghly checked out on all the ports, but I've never been able to get a
system built with it to run reliably on my hardware. My system is a 33Mhz
68030 with FPU and 20Meg of RAM. Multiple disks, but this panic occured
with only one disk configured and it has only three disk partitions -
MacOS, NetBSD Root&Usr and NetBSD SWAP. The disk has been very reliable
under NetBSD for years, and it has always worked with the NCR SCSI driver.
Does anyone have any ideas about what's happening here? Any suggestions?
Need any more info?
thanks,
