Mysterious 'Fatal Trap 12'...

B

Blackbird

Hi, when I booted up today I got the following message:

Code: 
Fatal Trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 3; apic id = 03
fault virtual address  = 0x8fca3a04
fault code             = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer    = 0x20:0xc07f010a
stack pointer          = 0x28:0xc677fb74

trap number            = 12
panic: page fault
cpid = 3
Uptime: 6s
Cannot dump. Device not defined or unavialable.
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
About 3 Seconds later my keyboards stopped working...
I had made a adjusted generic kernel with only i686 and without floppy or ipv6.
It worked well the last few days.
The last thing I did was installing KDE...:\

When I booted with ACPI disabled, I got the same message but with CPU 1 instead of 3, and with different pointer and adress codes.
When I booted in safe mode, it was CPU 0.
Single user mode worked.

And after exiting single user, everything worked fine! WTF?!

Well, I am new to FreeBSD but want to really understand my system...
Could you pleeaase explain to me what and why that was? Or at least, what it could have been?

Thank you. ;)
 
Looks like hardware problem. Or just voltage problem. May be "too tough" settings in BIOS. May be memory dimms were inserted not quite properly.
It's less likely that FreeBSD has improper support for your mobo chips though once I got it during 8.0 betas.
What did you do during single user mode?
 
Well I didn't change anything in BIOS the last three months...
And in SU modus I didn't do anything as well, just one 'ls' and 'exit'.
