Greetings... i've having some trouble with my FreeBSD 2.0.5 Box
(pentium 100, 64M ram, 2G HD), which has been very stable until
maybe 5 days ago, when it started rebooting all by itself about every
2 hours or less...
when i checked the message log, i got this series of kernel errors:
Mar 18 10:21:52 orca /kernel:
Mar 18 10:21:52 orca /kernel: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
Mar 18 10:21:52 orca /kernel: fault virtual address = 0x0
Mar 18 10:21:52 orca /kernel: fault code = supervisor read, page not
present
Mar 18 10:21:53 orca /kernel: instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf013954f
Mar 18 10:21:53 orca /kernel: code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff,
type 0x1b
Mar 18 10:21:53 orca /kernel: = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
Mar 18 10:21:53 orca /kernel: processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0

I have no idea as to what that means or what steps should i take to correct
this problem. as i had told you, it's been almost 6 wonderful months with
my freebsd Box without any incident, up until now, and i have LOTS of user
information (it's the main internet server at our university campus)...
The 'current process line changes, i mean, it's not allways mshell.. sometimes it's
ns-httpd, telnet, XF86, or any other application... :(
any help would be greately appreciated...
Thanbx!!!
(sorry if i misspelled anything... english is my second languaje
