Subject: [FreeBSD]  Trap type 12 when warm booting
Message-ID: <CIEHJH.LDn@baron.uucp>

Lines: 33

I have an NCR model 3333 486-33.  The system has a built-in IDE interface
that is disabled and has no drives defined for it in the cmos.  The
system also has an Adaptec 1540CF with a Seagate st1980n drive.  When
the system boots up after I have configured the kernel to get rid of
any extraneous devices I get an error message like this:

RTC BIOS diagnostic error 8<fixed_disk>

Then the system boots fine.  When doing a warm reboot
(sync;sync;reboot) here is what happens.  The screen clears, I get the
above error then the copyright mesage and then I get a nice error that
reads:

Trap Type 12 code=fdbf0000 eip=fe053da8 cs=fdbf0008 eflags=10246 cr2
0 cpl ffffffff
trap:panic
please press reset

(The wording on line 3 & 4 might be different but the first and second
line are correct).  Anybody have any ideas where this might be coming
from?  The system has a SVGA VESA localbus card, 2 serial ports and a
WD8003E ether card.  There are no conflicts as all works after the
system boots.

Thanks,
Jim


P.S.  Please e-mail as the news feed here really stinks.
