Recent vt(4) broke moused when hw.vga.textmode=1

2014-08-23 Thread Xin Li
Hi,

I have seen this panic via serial console, but the console is completely
unusable at the time.  VGA console is full of '?'.

Booting single user mode, I can provoke the panic with '/etc/rc.d/moused
start ums0'.

===

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

cpuid = 7;
apic id = 0e
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

The instruction pointer is Line 831 of /usr/src/sys/dev/vt/vt_core.c.

Reverting /sys/dev/vt to r270269 would solve the panic, but I haven't
investigated further.

Boot loader too large with Aug-11 FreeBSD/i386 11-CURRENT snapshot

2014-08-23 Thread Joel Dahl
Hi,

Today I installed 11-CURRENT from the 20140811 FreeBSD/i386 snapshot on my IBM 
T43 laptop but encountered some problems. The memstick installation went fine 
and I pretty much used default values everywhere, but upon reboot I got ”Boot 
loader too large”. Nothing more. Any ideas?

The freebsd-boot partition is bigger than five hundred twenty-mumble
k.  It'll be OK if you squeeze it down to 512.  Somthing like 'gpart
resize -i 1 -s 512k ada23' (untested, sub your disk).

Yes, gpart fixed it. Thanks.

But it’s annoying. Why is manual tinkering required here? Why isn’t it set to 
512k by default?

I checked the handbook (2.6.3), and it says ”the freebsd-boot partition should 
be no larger than 512K due to current boot code limitations” ...

Re: mkimg used to create gpt image, problem booting

 To the best of my knowledge, qemu is the thing you're

Hi,

I transferred foo1.img to a Mac with VirtualBox, converted it to VMDK
with VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VMDK, and tried to boot it
in VirtualBox.
I got the same error as in QEMU.  It looks like /boot/loader runs,
but I cannot do ls to see the root file system.

I created another disk image with a GPT layout, but this time
using the FreeBSD bsdinstall inside a bhyve VM.

I noticed the following:

I ran the following crazy experiment, just to see what would happen:

dd if=/dev/md1s2 of=/dev/md0s2 bs=8192

I then tried to boot the first image with QEMU, and it booted successfully,
with my UFS file system that I had previously created with makefs.

I'm not sure where to look for the problem.  I notice that
in the non-working image, the offset starts at block 3,
while in the working image, the offset starts at block 34.

Is that enough to make things not boot?

Could be. Try the -P option to mkimg. It sets the
underlying (unexposed) physical sector size while
still working with the visible 512 bytes sectors.
The net effect is that for the GPT scheme things
get aligned to the physical sector size and that
it also causes the image size to be rounded.

You can also try emitting vmdk directly to see if
that makes a difference. vmdk also has the side-
effect of rounding the image to the grain size.

I tried the following experiments:

mkimg -v -f vmdk -s gpt -b test1/boot/pmbr -p
freebsd-boot:=test1/boot/gptboot -p freebsd-ufs:=/tmp/file.img -o
/tmp/foo1.vmdk

When I tried to boot the image in QEMU, I had the same problem as before.
It looks like it started writing the image on block 3, same as before.


I also tried adding the -P flag, with different values like 2048 and 4096.
I ran into the same problem.

Hmm.

Re: mkimg used to create gpt image, problem booting

2014-08-23 Thread Craig Rodrigues
Hi,

I did some more experiments, and found that after /boot/loader runs,
if I break into the loader prompt and type lsdev, I would get this:

(1)  GPT Disk image which boots under QEMU, made by bsdinstall
==
View from loader

OK lsdev
cd devices:
disk devices:
  disk0:BIOS drive A:
  disk1:BIOS drive C:

 disk1p2: FreeBSD UFS
 disk1p3: FreeBSD swap
pxe devices:


View from gpart, after we mdconfig the disk image

34   1281  freebsd-boot  (64K)
   162   99592962  freebsd-ufs  (4.7G)
   99594585242883  freebsd-swap  (256M)
  10483746  1981   - free -  (991K)


(2)  GPT Disk image which fails to boot under QEMU, made by mkimg
===
View from loader

OK lsdev
cd devices:
disk devices:
  disk0:BIOS drive A:
  disk1:BIOS drive C:
pxe devices:

View from gpart, after we mdconfig the disk image


=  3  1784944  md1  GPT  (872M)
3   321  freebsd-boot  (16K)
   35  17849122  freebsd-ufs  (872M)



This leads me to believe that there is logic in /boot/loader,
which is not in GEOM, that fails to parse the GPT produced by mkimg.


I did some further debugging inside the loader by doing the following.
  - I added CFLAGS += -DPART_DEBUG to sys/boot/common/Makefile.inc
  - I added DEBUG() statements all over sys/boot/common/part.c

I observed that in sys/boot/common/part.c in the ptbl_gptread() function,
that in this section:

305 ent = (struct gpt_ent *)tbl;
306 size = MIN(hdr.hdr_entries * hdr.hdr_entsz,
307 MAXTBLSZ * table-sectorsize);
308 for (i = 0; i  size / hdr.hdr_entsz; i++, ent++) {
309 if (uuid_equal(ent-ent_type, gpt_uuid_unused, NULL))
310 continue;

ent-ent_type is all 0's, which matches gpt_uuid_unused, so it bails
out of the loop and never adds the gpt partitions to the list of partitions
that the loader can access.

I'm not familiar with the GPT format, nor am I familiar with the
gpt code inside the loader, and how it differs from GEOM.

Do you have any further ideas of where to hunt for the root cause of
the problem?

Thanks.
