I recently upgraded from 8.1-RELEASE to 8.2-RELEASE (i386) and after completing the upgrade, including updating my ports, everything seemed fine for about a day until the machine crashed. It now page faults whenever I try to boot into 8.2, but I can boot into the 8.1 kernel without a problem. When booting into 8.2 there're a number of warnings before it page faults. (8.1 always issues a few geometry warnings, but doesn't crash.) I haven't found any way to capture the console output, but here is some of what I've been able to copy down:
This info is only reported once, and I think it's also what 8.1 reports. There's also a line or two about cylinders and heads not matching, that I didn't catch.
I've only seen this message when trying to boot into 8.2, and it is repeated many times. The page fault usually occurs soon after these appear.
When the 8.2 boot process page faults, this is the output I can see on the console:
This a multiboot machine (Dell Optiplex GX750), with Vista on partition 2, XP on partition 3, and FreeBSD on partition 4. There's also a 1TB drive with Ubuntu, using grub to manage the multibooting.
After making sure I had a good backup, I tried to reinstall FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE on partition 4 from DVD, but I still get the same geometry warnings, and the same page fault. Thanks for any help.
