Not reproducible

Hi,

I wanted to report this earlier on the mailing list, but needed to test this with another CF card first; I had read something related on the mailing list.

My problem is that the beta release 1.3b2 doesn’t boot on my old machine. I see a kernel trap and a reboot afters 15 secs.

Code:

ata0: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0


Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0x24
fault code              = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer     = 0x20:0xc0658786
stack pointer           = 0x28:0xc1820b80
frame pointer           = 0x28:0xc1820b80
code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                        = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor flags         = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process         = 0 (swapper)
trap number             = 12
panic: page fault
Uptime: 1s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort

I tried with three different cards (16, 128 and 2000 MB) with the same result.
The  machine is  an old 133MHz PC with 128 MB RAM and Intel Pro NICs. I have the M0n0wall image on a CF card in a IDE2CF adapter. I don’t know what the exact specs of the board are but could check if needed.

With M0n0wall 1.24 everything works flawlessly, I just wanted to check out 1.3 for the fun of it.

Here’s a dmesg for reference:

This is a FreeBSD bug of some sort. It's not something any m0n0wall developer will be able to assist much with, since none are FreeBSD committers.

What would be ideal is if you could put a hard drive in the machine, and install FreeBSD 6.2. It's possible that 6.2 fixes the issue (1.3b2 is 6.1-based), but I would guess you'll probably get the same problem with 6.2, at which point you should have info you can take to the appropriate FreeBSD list to get the problem resolved. I know that's asking a lot, but that's the only way the problem will get resolved. If you're willing to do this, post back and I can provide further guidance.

Hmm, too bad. The case does in fact have no movable parts (i.e. drives) and I tossed the HDD away a long time ago. The HDDs I have (>200GB) will almost certainly not work in this machine.
I 'd rather not see my trusty m0n0wall box be left behind, seeing that nice features will come into m0n0wall 1.3.
If there's something else I can put onto a card that yields more info than this I'd gladly do it.
Is there an image with FreeBSD 6.2 available check somewhere for download, a newer alpha/beta?

EDIT: Oh, the beta page says that 1.3b1 already had 6.2-RC on it:

changed base system to FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 (final 1.3 version will be based on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE)

Ah, I didn't realize Manuel had moved up to 6.2 already. Then 6.2 definitely won't work - but will have the debugging tools required to get a backtrace and other info needed to get this fixed.

You can't do anything without a kernel with debugging support, and there isn't a m0n0wall release with debugging support.

Too bad:

Code:

* 1.3b9 (01/15/2008)
  * added patch for trap 12 kernel panics on Nokia IP110/IP120/IP130

This made me hopeful but it still gets the kernel trap 12.
