I am using FBSD 2.0, off the Walnut Creek CD. I have compiled two different kernels - one using the supplied GENERIC config with ppp added: pseudo-device ppp 2 And one starting from the supplied 'IPFIREWALL', adding: controller ahc0 at isa? bio irq ? vector ahcintr to make my discs work. Both of these work fine with local Ethernet etc. but after bringing up a PPP link, a kernel panic occurs: Fatal Trap 12, page fault while in kernel mode ... current process = pppd For the 60 seconds or so before it blows up, the PPP is working fine, the routing works (I am using the 'defaultroute' option to pppd) and I can telnet, ftp etc. The panic seems to happen slightly quicker with the 'IPFIREWALL' kernel than the 'GENERIC+PPP', but it's hard to be sure. Any ideas greatly appreciated! - what's different between my system and those of you that have it working? Hardware is 486/66, 16Mb, Adaptec 2842 VESA + 1Gb + CDROM, SMC Ultra Ethernet, 16550 COM ports, Western Digital VGA, IDE disc fitted but not in use. Regards, Andrew Gordon. andrew.gordon@net-tel.co.uk
