Panic: Page Fault while Installing

[Jonathan Graefe]

Hi FreeBSD Team,

	I was turned on by your operating system and how smoothly it worked so I
decided to give it a try at home. Unfortunately during install of 4.8 I get
a "Panic: Page Fault" one line error while it is installing the base around
98% but the error may move to the early installation of the docs. I can get
around this error by doing a minimum install. However the OS gets back at me
by core dumping sh every time I start up forcing me into single user mode.
>From there SH will core dump periodically and so will login it is very
annoying. I have tried to get ports.tar.gz but the ftp program core dumps on
me. I have tried pkg_add -r cvsup but that either core dumps or even freezes
but I am able to get out of the freeze by ctrl + z

Now installing the full version of FreeBSD 4.8 I get a:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address 		= 0xf3f980ac
fault code				= supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer		= 0x8:0xc021667f
stack pointer			= 0x10:0xd3108c6c
frame pointer			= 0x10:0xd3108c7c
code segment			= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
					= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags			= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process			= 4 (bufdaemon)
interrupt mask			= bio
panic: page fault
Upfile 38m 27s

An other time while trying to install the full version of FreeBSD 4.8 I'll
get a one liner:

Panic: page fault
Waiting for processes to stop... // or something to that effect

Giving up on 158 buffers
<Reboots>

I have tried 5.1 but that has Signal 10, 11 and / or 12 errors during
install.

Your help is greatly appreciated
