Hi all, I decided to try and help with testing 6-BETA1, after updating sources and recompiling i get the following during boot up. Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id =00 fault virtual address = 0x480008 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x20:0xc06923cc stack pointer = 0x28:0xc10208ec Code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resyne, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) [thread pid 0tid0] Stopped at strlen+0x8: cmpb $0,0(%edx) I left all the debugging features in the current however, I am not sure exactly how to trace this problem. If someone could point me to any doc that would allow to provide more information that would be great. I updated my pen 400MHZ using the same procedures and all went well.
