Page Fault.

Have a machine, Dell dual CPU/quad core Xeon. Runs FBSD 6.2.
Custom kernel, with IPFW compiled in and using SMP.

FreeBSD <hostname> 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #1: Wed Jan 23
12:17:29 PST 2008

It runs, Dovecot, Postfix, Mysql, Apache. Standard email stuff. Put into
production in March, ran perfect until July 29th when it rebooted by
itself.

It rebooted 2 more times in the last few months on its own. But in the
last 6 weeks it has become a weekly occurance, with uptime no more than
6-7 days at most.

The last 2 times I have cores and have run kgdb on them. Both vmcore's
show the same things. Same pointers etc, the only difference is what the
cpuid was at the time.

============

What might be the cause for this? It is the in the same place every time.
Once the machine hung and had to be powercycled. But on the screen was the
same page fault error on the same process.

Is this flaky hardware?

Thanks,
Keith.
