I sometimes get a kernel panic for no reason that I can see, I can not
reproduce the circumstances that cause it.
The dmesg output from the dump is this:
vm_fault(0xf02a6000, f09b5000, 3, 0) -> 1
fatal page fault in supervisor mode
trap type 6 code 2 eip f0193837 cs 8 eflags 10206 cr2 f09b51fc cpl 0
panic: trap
Could this indicate a bad or unstable hardware configuration? An
extensive memory test over several hours did not show any errors.
I think I had a crash like this one or two times before with 1.3.2,
but never with my previous mainboard (AMD Am5x86, 80MB, vendor and
chipset unknown)
My system configuration:
AMD K6-2/300, Shining Yuan ("Lucky Tech") mainboard with VIA MVP3 PCI
chipset, 64 MB EDO RAM, ISA Trident VGA board, NE2000 Ethernet;
NetBSD 1.3.3 with PCI-IDE-Patches.
If that might be of any help, I can provide the complete dmesg output.
