FreeBSD

I have
2 x Intel XEON 3.06 with 2GB RAM
system work stable wherefore upgrade 17 junuary 20005 FreeBSD-EN-05:03.ipi

but now I want to have 8GB RAM and I have new problem kernel fatal trap 12
any idea or solution?

kernel config is

If you have that much RAM and EM64T Xeons, why not use a 64-bit version of FreeBSD, PAE is slow, not well tested and most drivers does not support it.

Download FreeBSD for AMD64 install or recompile the world & kernel with TARGET_ARCH=amd64.

You may also want to consider upgrading to 6.1 since there have been many improvements in SMP and 64-bit stuff.

mmmm... 8 Gb RAM...
