troubleshooting page fault/kernel panic
This is a freebsd 5.2.1 system. Sometimes, when copying large amounts of data from the network, the machine will page-fault, spit out some errors and reboot. Any insight as to what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it would be greatly appreciated. I can also provide more details on the hardware if needed. /var/log/messages shows the following from the event that caused the reboot: May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: fault virtual address= 0xf0db264b May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: fault code = supervisor read, page not present May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc064f2a7 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: stack pointer= 0x10:0xd77ccc48 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: frame pointer= 0x10:0xd77ccc6c May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: current process = 45 (swi7: task queue) May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: trap number = 12 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: panic: page fault May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: cpuid = 0; May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: boot() called on cpu#0 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: syncing disks, buffers remaining... 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 ath0: device timeout May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: 3233 ad1: WARNING - WRITE_DMA interrupt was seen but timeout fired LBA=6728498 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: 3233 3233 3233 3233 3233 ad1: WARNING - WRITE_DMA interrupt was seen but timeout fired LBA=6728498 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: giving up on 2914 buffers May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: Uptime: 2h24m54s May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: ad1: WARNING - WRITE_DMA interrupt was seen but taskqueue stalled LBA=6728498 May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: ad0: WARNING - FLUSHCACHE interrupt was seen but taskqueue stalled May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: ad1: WARNING - FLUSHCACHE interrupt was seen but taskqueue stalled May 16 18:32:20 whammy kernel: Shutting down ACPI ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
getting Mozilla Firefox port to run / libmap.conf
I grabbed the current version of Firefox from the ports site and ran the appropriate portupgrades and installed the linuxflashplugin package to get what I think are the appropriate version of libpthread.so. I've also created what I think to be a correct version of /etc/libmap.conf to allow ld-elf.so to find libpthread.so.1, but it continues to complain that libpthread.so.1 can't be found.

READ_BIG errors continue, atapi-cd driver updates?
When copying data from a CD burned on my Windows machine, I see lots of errors like the ones at the end of this message continue to pop up in dmesg. I saw these on my old machine as well, but was surprised when I continued to see them on my new machine. I saw some references to similar errors in other freebsd mailing lists and there was mention of a patch to atapi-cd.c that worked well for some people, but the patch for atapi-cd.c doesn't seem to match up with the atapi-cd.c on my machine. Has this patch been integrated into the stock 5.2.1 distribution? More about the patch in question may be found at the URL below: www.atm.tut.fi/list-archive/freebsd-stable/msg02702.html This machine is running freebsd 5.2.1 - several parts have been portupgrade'd since the initial OS install. I have a lot of data to move onto this machine, most of it is currently stored on burned CDs, so I really need to find a solution to this problem. jms vm_fault: pager read error, pid 80512 (cp) vm_fault: pager read error, pid 80512 (cp) vm_fault: pager read error, pid 80512 (cp) acd1: FAILURE - READ_BIG status=51READY,DSC,ERROR sensekey=MEDIUM ERROR error=4ABORTED vm_fault: pager read error, pid 80527 (cp) acd1: FAILURE - READ_BIG status=51READY,DSC,ERROR sensekey=MEDIUM ERROR error=4ABORTED vm_fault: pager read error, pid 80527 (cp) vm_fault: pager read error, pid 80527 (cp) vm_fault: pager read error, pid 80527 (cp) acd1: FAILURE - READ_BIG status=51READY,DSC,ERROR sensekey=MEDIUM ERROR error=4ABORTED vm_fault: pager read error, pid 80527 (cp) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Matrox mga_hal driver in 5.2.1?
Has anyone gotten the mga_hal code to compile cleanly under freebsd 5.2.1/i386? I downloaded the 'nix distribution for that, as well as the source for their powerdesk utility from the Matrox website, but haven't had much luck getting the drivers to compile. The driver distribution doesn't include an autoconf utility, so I suspect it may come down to extensive surgery on the Makefile to get it to look for required headers and libraries in the right places. I don't know if the powerdesk distribution is more polished or not - haven't seen a reason to mess with it until I get the drivers built... If anyone has specific familiarity with this driver set, please let me know. The card I'm using is a Matrox G450 PCI and I'm trying to get the HAL functionality working so I can do dualhead and/or TV output.

READ_BIG errors on reading data from CD drive
All: I've tried mount and mount_cd9660 in my testing of this issue and I run into the same problems. I've also tried trying my internal CD drive (Samsung 140B I borrowed out of another machine) onto my other controller (ultra ATA133), with no improvements. In fact when I did that I could usually get the kernel to panic while copying data from a CD. I'm really getting to the point where I'm at a loss to explain and fix this issue. Could it be a DMA issue of some sort? The motherboard is an older PPRO-MMX I salvaged out of another machine. Maybe some sort of IDE bus contention issue? I doubt it since there's not much else on that bus - a small hard drive and a 3.5 floppy drive. Any insight anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. jms -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2004 16:29:39 -0500 (EST) From: Streiner, Justin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: data overrun from CD / USB cd mount errors - freebsd 5.2.1 I recently installed freebsd 5.2.1 from CD images that I burned on another machine.

data overrun from CD / USB cd mount errors - freebsd 5.2.1 (fwd)
Is it possible that the way the CD drive gets mounted, or the type of CD (burned on a winXP machine) could have an impact on the ability to reliably read from the disc? If I just do: mount /cdrom cp /cdrom/* /data/ I can reproduce the read/overrun errors pretty reliably. If I do something like pull lots of distributions from the freebsd cd set I burned from the ISO images, sysinstall never complains about any problems and the packages are copied and installed cleanly. Any ideas on what could be causing this? jms -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2004 16:29:39 -0500 (EST) From: Streiner, Justin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: data overrun from CD / USB cd mount errors - freebsd 5.2.1 I recently installed freebsd 5.2.1 from CD images that I burned on another machine.

My platform is I386 and please email me witha solution. There are several ways to get it, depending on what hardware you have. If you have a machine equipped with a CD burner, you can download the ISO images for the current FreeBSD i386 distribution, burn them onto CDs (total of 4 for the most recent 5.2 release), and install from that. Make sure your CD writer software recognizes that the files you downloaded are ISO images and not regular data files. If you don't have a CD burner, your best bet may be to either order the CDs from freebsdmall.com, or make an appropriate boot/install set on floppies, then complete the actual installation by downloading the packages you need from the net.
