Hi,

i have bought a 2.2.2 Version of FreeBSD.  Installation on the
previous releases was fine and worked excellent.  But now the
system panics with the reason: 'panic: double fault'.  Installing
2.2.2 on a 486 runs fine, but on my pentium machine
it dosn't.  Both systems have ASUS boards and SCSI disks,
streamers and CD-roms.  They both have SMC ISA Ethernet cards.
Why ist the 2.2.1 succesfull but the 2.2.2 not?  Why on
a 486 but on a pentium machine not?  What does the panic message
mean?

Thanks, N. Grundmann
