My system crashes with either ``<tt class="ERRORNAME">Fatal trap 12: page fault in kernel mode</tt>'', or ``<tt class= "ERRORNAME">panic:</tt>'', and spits out a bunch of information. What should I do?

My system crashes with either ``Fatal trap 12: page fault in kernel mode'', or ``panic:'', and spits out a bunch of information. What should I do?

The FreeBSD developers are very interested in these errors, but need some more information than just the error you see. Copy your full crash message. Then consult the FAQ section on kernel panics, build a debugging kernel, and get a backtrace. This might sound difficult, but you do not need any programming skills; you just have to follow the instructions.
