Well, my current startup panic only happens at cold boot.  After it panics

SMP panic at boot

2001-07-25 Thread David Scheidt

My SMP box, running current from about 24 hours ago, panics on a cold boot,
but only if I don't touch a key.  If I use the keyboard to do anything,
whether to skip the loader twiddler, or to skip the BIOS disk probing, or
just to bang my head against it, it boots fine.  It will reboot fine once
it's booted.

What I get on the screen: (transcribed by hand, typos mine)

SMP: AP CPU #1 launched!
kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled
panic: mutex sched lock recursed at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern/sync.c:807
cpuid =1; lapic.id =0100
Debugger(panic)

And then it hangs, failing to go into ddb.

Everytime, as long as I don't touch the keyboard.

Boot hang with pcm

2001-04-21 Thread David Scheidt

Current as of yesterday afternoon hangs trying to boot on my box with an
OPTi931 soundcard installed.  It prints the probe, and then hangs.  With
boot -v, the messages  are

pcm0: OPTi931 at port 0x5
34-0x537,0x380-0x38b,0x220-0x22f,0xe0c-0xe0f irq 5 drq 0,1 on isa0
mss_init: opti_offset=2

Yanking the card, or removing the driver from the kernel config allows the
machine to boot fine.  Unfortunatly, I just upgraded from a September 2000
vintage -current, so I don't know when this broke.

Yes.  One would expect this.  ftp(1) uses getservbyname(3), which looks at
/etc/services to figure out what port to use.  Since you've changed what
getservbyname(3) returns to 2121, ftp(1) is trying to connect to the remote
machine on port 2121.  It's really quite unlikely they are running an ftp
daemon there, so your connection is refused.  This has absolutely nothing to

Sudden SIGSEGVs are almost always the result of failed memory.  The fact
that the machine worked fine for 18 months doesn't mean anything.  Replace
the memory and your problems will likely go away.  If they don't, it's
likely that the problem is cooling, processor cache, or a bad motherboard

runlevels let you do more than just run gettys, control networking, and run

panic: vm_page_free: freeing wired page

1999-12-02 Thread David Scheidt


 I am having the following panic, with a -CURRENT system as fo CTM
cvs-cur.5868.  I *think* the panic was induced by running mpg123 with a not
an mp3 file.  I've had two (maybe three, something happened to the box over
night.)  of these panics, but hte first was with no dump device configured.
I suspect I can reproduce it, since this one I did.

It makes it work properly, so yes it would.  None of the kernel code is
tested beyond -O.  Much of it works, but if it doesn't you aren't going to
get any support from anyone, except to tell you to turn the optimization

I have both IDE and SCSI disks, I am dumping to an ide disk controlled by

Yup.  I run a Voodoo Banshee, with the Creative Labs Linux X server.   This
is on -CURRENT just before newpcm and newpnp, and XFree 3.3.3.  I don't
remember having to do anything too wild to get it working.  The one problem
I do remember is that it doesn't play nicely with /dev/sysmouse.  I have to
use the real mouse device, and can't run moused.  I don't have access to the
machine at the moment, so I cannot tell you much more than that.  I will
take a look at the machine when I get home, and see what else I might have
done.  I don't run xdm, which might be an issue.

Re: Softupdates reliability?

1999-08-23 Thread David Scheidt

On Mon, 23 Aug 1999, Stephen McKay wrote:

 I was extracting from the Exabyte to the DDRS disk while applying a CTM
 update from that disk against one of the DCAS disks when it crashed.  The
 Exabyte went wonky (took about 6 goes to get the tape ejected) and the
 rest of the disk system locked up.  The SCSI adapter was so confused I
 had to power down.
 
 When it recovered, there was an "UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY"
 which turned out to be a referenced but unallocated inode, and two zero size
 directories.  In all, a couple dozen files ended up in lost+found.

I had this happen a couple times in 3.-2 stable.  I tried to load a buggy
kernel module, and hosed a cylinder group.  As near as I could tell,  the
kernel module was writing to memory at random, and corrupted the buffer
chain.  I couldn't quite reproduce this enough to get a good handle on
exactly what was going on, though.

 If many other people have survived sudden power loss or similar no-sync type
 crashes, I'll be happy to believe option 1 caused my problem.  If not, then
 perhaps softupdates still has incomplete handling of dependencies.  Of course,
 if it is option 1, I'm keen to know what's wrong with the current driver!

I have survived a number of power loss crashes, with no problems.  I tend to
suspect the SCSI driver did something bad.

savecore saving compressed crash dumps is handy on production machines

My -CURRENT box is having problems with the mouse pointer freezing.  Killing
moused and restarting it seems to solve the problem, until it happens again,
of course.  It seems to happen after about 8 or nine hours of use.  This
hadn't been a problem with the previous -CURRENT, which was a month or so
old.  I am now running -CURRENT as of cvs-cur-5352, which is from sunday 23
May.  I haven't seen anything in the commit logs that would indicate
anything has changed that would break this.  If it happens again, I shall
