If you disable the logical processors in the BIOS, this problem should go away.

We ended up reverting to 4-STABLE for other reasons.


Thanks for your answer.

The problem is still there, unfortunately.

Crashes no more on pagedaemon though, for a change, but on irq48:em0...

Would you have KVA_PAGES / maxvnodes recommendation for this case ?

Was your answer based on painful trial-and-error, or is there a logical reason (known bad HTT or PAE or Xeon support) ?

Should I revert to 4-STABLE to get solid PAE+SMP support ?

We had KVA_PAGES=768.  It's now at KVA_PAGES=672 to give us the right
balance between KVM & usable process size.

We spent a few (4 hours) trying to get 5-STABLE to work properly.

It would reliably crash when running make -j 4 buildworld.


When we disabled the logical processors in the BIOS, make -j 4 buildworld would succeed.

Also,  we disabled the USB subsystem in the BIOS.  I don't know whether
you have already.  It looks like you haven't from your first post.  This
is advisable.


In any case, we reverted to 4-STABLE. We needed the patches posted to this list to enable us to use PAE + amr driver.

Since reverting it has been completely stable.  (And very very fast:-)

I didn't post anything to the list regarding our problems,  because we
weren't able to get a crashdump.
