Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

[NAKAJI Hiroyuki]

Thanks for advice.

I noticed I had just upgraded the kernel only and the userland remains
old, that is, kernel is on Dec 3 while userland is on Oct 20. I'll do
installworld too, after next buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel and
reboot.

And, I found same panic this morning (JST), but before I read
Koshy's instruction, I typed 'reset' without doadump and I cannot show
you a full bt. I'll do it when next panic.

So, what I have to do are three:

1. Full upgrade to the latest kernel and userland (world)
2. Observe whether a panic occurs, and
3. When panic, save the crash dump and get full bt with kgdb

I hope it will not reach to the step three. Thanks.

Koshy> The trap is being caused by a null pointer access.

Koshy> You may want to take a full dump and use kgdb(1) to investigate the matter:

Koshy> where "vmcore.N" is the name of the dump file saved by savecore(8).
