Can't say I've ever got a page fault out of 9fs. Plenty of other
things.

As the kernel does not demand page, page faults should not happen.
You are down to hardware or software bugs. A first step would be
to reveal the hardware involved. If you have a motherboard with
a shared memory vga, for example, then you could be in deep trouble.
You can also check where the page fault occurs in case it is at a
consistent point in the kernel, which would suggest a software bug.
If it wanders around randomly, then it's probably hardware.

I posted a few days ago with one of my concerns about how my network
loses its connections. well the problem is that the file server page
faults, crashes and then reboots. So now the question is, why does it
page fault? I have tried out the emelie kernel and saragazo. Same problem
in both cases. what has been known to do this?

Thanks in advance.
