 The problems with GENERIC build, the BGE 'zone'

 caused by this:

 Turning it off made it all build just fine on

 something right in front of your face isn't it?
 
 Now my question is with the RESTARTABLE_PANICS
 turned off are my machines
 going to hang at kernel panics? What is the deal
 with that? Still waiting
 for an answer on that one.

Hey there,
Not sure what Freebsd you're trying to build but
here's a report found two years ago:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2004-September/009307.html

Did a google search and that option appears to allow
the kernel to return from a panic.

Looks like a few users over the years have complained
about the RESTARTABLE_PANICS being broken. Might still
be.

Hope that helps.

~Mr. Anderson

Yes I ran a buildworld first.
No I can't build the GENERIC config as it has ALOT more problems than just
the bge drivers.

 the bge drivers.

What I am saying about the GENERIC is that it chokes when trying to install
alot of the GENERIC drivers that aren't needed. For instance the aic and
aha. Once I disable those the compile gets alot farther and eventually gets
to the bge issue. Which I have yet to get resolved.

I am going to try the GENERIC again without changing anything at all. Even
the firewall and SMP. Just right out of the box GENERIC. If it makes it to
6.1-PRE then I will try the custom kernel. Perhaps the sequence of events is
the issue. Or maybe the firewall and SMP. We shall see.

I haven't ever seen errors like that caused by RAM but heck I will put it on
the tester. What can I lose.

Though I would think running the buildworld with a -j4 would have found a
ram issue before building the kernel would have.

RAM checked out fine.

 /usr/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c
 /usr/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c: In function `bge_newbuf_jumbo':
 /usr/src/sys/sys/mbuf.h:513: warning: 'zone' might be used
 uninitialized in
 this function

The problems with GENERIC build, the BGE 'zone' issue, and half a dozen
other similar uninitialized variable errors were all caused by this:

options RESTARTABLE_PANICS

Turning it off made it all build just fine on multiple machines. Always
something right in front of your face isn't it?

Now my question is with the RESTARTABLE_PANICS turned off are my machines
going to hang at kernel panics? What is the deal with that? Still waiting
for an answer on that one.
