RE: Compaq ProLiant 1600 server freezes when detecting keyboard

2006-02-03 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt

That's an interesting workaround, I'll have to remember that.

Yes, it is the USB.  Linux has the same problem and the same fix -
disable the USB driver in the kernel.  The problem is that in
the 1600, the motherboard chipset has basically half a USB
setup.  It has the port chip but no USB buss.  You can look all over
the motherboard and you will not find a take-off or header for a
USB connector.  Yet, load any os that autodetects USB, like Win XP,
and it will find the USB chip.

I'd be quite happy to install without a mouse, but I would definitely
want the psm port available once I had recompiled the kernel without
the USB drivers.

Basically, you need to build a kernel without the uhci device and boot
with that.

RE: Compaq ProLiant 1600 server freezes when detecting keyboard

2006-01-11 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt

Another thing you really need to watch and that isn't common knowledge
with Compaq proliants, is the use of non-Compaq disk drives in the
systems.  It isn't recommended and sometimes will cause problems
like this.

Compaq actually has a huge program that they distribute that you
expand onto about 20 or so floppies, which's sole purpose is to
boot the server into DOS and do firmware updates to their hard
disk drives.  Because of the length of time it takes to deal with
this on a server with a big array, it's quite often ignored by techs.
Because of this few techs ever stop to ask the question of why
is this necessary?  After all the hard drives in the array are OEMed
to Compaq from someone like Seagate or such, Compaq certainly
doesen't make it's own drives.  Yet the frequency of firmware
updates to generally available disk drives from the major manufacturers
is much less.  So then why do you see 3-4 disk drive firmware updates
for Compaq-branded disk drives, yet the same model Seagate that
isn't Compaq branded, you don't see this on Seagate's site?

Compaq has a long history of tampering with peripheral firmware.
For example I've got on my desk a Compaq professional 
workstation that has an Adaptec scsi controller in it - the
card looks identical to a standard off-the-shelf Adaptec SCSI
card - yet if I take this card and swap it out with the same model
scsi card in a random system, that random system will
refuse to boot.

I've got back at the shop a Compaq DL360 (early generation)
that has the same spontaneous reboot problem with Solaris x86.
Yet if I put FreeBSD on it, it never reboots, and if I put the Solaris
on a different Compaq DL360 we have that was bought at a
similar time, it runs rock solid.  The only difference between
the 2 DL360s is the disks in the one with the reboot problem -
they are aftermarket, not from Compaq.

[My apologies for not jumping into this thread early, in spite of
 Ertan's polite email of inquiry. Vacations, yada yada etc :-).]

I can confirm this too. After my last go-around with this box I was able
to get it running by removing uhci:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/sys/i386/conf]# uname -a
FreeBSD thoth.seekingfire.com 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Thu

###device   uhci# UHCI PCI->USB interface

(### is the symbol I use for something that's been commented out for
important reasons, so I don't later on mess with it)

However, I'm occassionally seeing the box spontanouesly reboot:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/sys/i386/conf]# uptime
 8:43AM  up 17:42, 2 users, load averages: 0.01, 0.01, 0.06

It's not all that often, though I can occassionally trigger it with a
buildworld/buildkernel (which is what killed it yesterday).

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/crash]# ls -l | grep Jan
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2 Jan  9 15:01 bounds
-rw---  1 root  wheel451 Jan  9 15:01 info.6
-rw---  1 root  wheel  268042240 Jan  9 15:02 vmcore.6

Debugging and invariants are turned off in the kernel, and I currently
lack the knowledge to do much with the vmcore in any case :-)

The crashes are very likely unrelated to the usb problem (this box also
runs pf and ipsec, either of which could be unhappy). I'm interested in
hearing about stability of other 1600Rs under load.

Good news,

System boots flawlessly after removing USB and Firewire in GENERIC kernel.

Well, maybe FreeBSD should implement an option to disable certain device 
detection during install time, too.

Thanks for the USB hint. You saved a lot of time for me to find the problem.

I'll appreciate if anyone directly sends me, or gives me a working link to 
download 4.11 release boot images.

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/

is not working. At least, connection is established, but no login info asked.

Btw, this box is 5.4-release setup box. I cvsuped 6.0-stable sources. I may 
try to disable USB in GENERIC kernel. Re-compile and try with this kernel if 
this is the test that should be done. I'll give this a try while waiting for a 
working link for FreeBSD 4.11.

RE: Compaq ProLiant 1600 server freezes when detecting keyboard

2006-01-09 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt

Please try booting with FreeBSD 4.11 and let us know if it works
or not.  (just download a boot floppy and use that)  Also, it is
probably hanging at whatever would probe up AFTER keyboard detection,
not the keyboard detection.

Be aware also that the Compaq 1600's are a bit odd in that they have
a partial USB chipset on the motherboard.  It is detected as a USB
device - but althought the chip exists, a USB buss is not, in fact,
connected to it.  There is a setting in many Linux distros to disable
USB probing at the installation boot to get around this, that is
documented somewhere.
