Description:
As of FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, multiple systems of mine are getting panics and
crashing. The "current process" field of the panic message is "nge0" a fiber
network interface. The systems will run fine until the interface starts to
recieve traffic, the OS panics.
All of the systems successfully ran 5.2.1-RELEASE with no problems. I performed
a fresh install of 5.3-RELEASE.
I also tried 5.3-STABLE, but no success. I also tried a custom kernel and
removed all non-existant hardware. Same results.
Here is the PANIC message: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x8 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc055a002 stack pointer = 0x10:0xe32a2c9c frame pointer = 0x10:0xe32a2cac code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def 2 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resuep, IOPL = 0 current process = 27 (irq17: nge0) trap number = 12 panic: page fault
Here is my hardware list
Intel Pentium 4 3.06GHz CPU 1GB RAM 80GB Maxtor HD (1x) Intel 82801DB (ICH4) Pro/100 Ethernet (6x) NetGear GA621 fiber 1GB NIC (nge driver)
On the file servers: Intel 2.4 GHz Intel 865 PERL Motherboard 1GB RAM 80GB IDE HD
I posted this problem to freebsd-questions. So has someone else. No one replied.
I'm not sure if the problem is the DRIVER or the changes that were made to the
OS that affect how the OS interacts with the driver.
How-To-Repeat:
Turn the interface up with ifconfig. If it is an IDS and is plugged into a fiber
tap, the OS will crash immediately, If the host is a file server, transfer some
files of size (I tested with mp3s and docs from one client) files via scp, ftp,
smb, or http. The OS will panic after a few seconds.
