I have installed FreeBSD 4.7-stable to may laptop pc.
It is an old ISA based machine.
I found 4.7-stable kernel crashes in fatal trap 12 at boot time
on the machine, while 4.7-RC kernel worked well.
So I examined differences between the versions
and found new implementation of nexus_print_all_resources()
in sys/i386/i386/nexus.c caused the trouble.
On my machine, DEVTONX(dev) at first line of the function
returns null pointer for device isa0, and then a pointer
reference in the next line leads to page fault.
I could workarounded the problem as bellow, but i wonder
what's the right way?
Which is the case whether
- my isa controller is broken or buggy
- or that is bug accompanied by recent changes on kernl ?
