[comp.unix.sysv386] Kernel Panic during compile; controller problem?

rob@xyzoom.info.com (Rob Lingelbach) (12/10/90)

I'm having an error when compiling smail from source on my 386 running
ISC 2.2.  Two different times I have gotten about 5 minutes 
into making the binaries when I got a PANIC & DOUBLE PANIC.
Here is the screen, condensed a little:

PANIC  Kernel mode trap   type 0x0000000E

(then a bunch of numbers here, that I didn't copy down)

DOUBLE PANIC spl*: logic error in misc.s
 Trying to dump 2048 pages;  2048 pages dumped


DEVICE ERROR:  Adaptec 1542B2B .....Absolute sector (number)


---------------------------
There is no way to map bad sectors on a SCSI drive, right?  The BIOS
on the controller is supposed to take care of that I thought.  Am I
running into a bad section of disk every time?

Thanks in advance if you can give me some input on this.
