Re: System Freezing -Again

Grant,

Are the two ethernet interfaces on the motherboard or on PCI cards?  What 
add-on cards are in the system?

Also, I have the atkbd disabled so I can take advantage of the DRAC 
console, it needs ukbd, to connect. If the console (ukbd) dissconnects, is 
it possible the system console is disconnecting such that the machine 
can't even talk to itself?


As mentioned before, there is nothing anywhere in any log file that 
indicates any faults. Also, there is nothing in the sustems SEL fhat 
indicate any issues.


Immediately after today's crash, I had the NOC tech check the machine. The 
physical state, all LEDs, CPU fan, motherboard fan, power supply etc.. 
appeared to be that of a running machine. Even the NICs werer connected 
and blinking.


Perhaps I should reinstall the GENERIC kernel?

RE: System Freezing -Again

2006-03-09 Thread Tamouh H.
 
 Hi all,
 
 I have been pestering everyone who will listen on this, and 
 have yet to find a solution ... so here goes again!
 
 I have a FreeBSD system on a Dell PE 1850 that has been 
 randomly freezing up from time to time in the past two weeks.
 
 Firewall is enabled, but is very solid as I am using the same 
 rules on several other machines.
 
 I spent last Saturday and Sunday at the NOC, running Dell 32 
 bit diagnostics on it, along with memtest32, no errors found 
 over many hours of testing.
 
 NO heat of note from the Power supply CPU or system fan.
 
 Nothing ever in log files, no core dumps. I have the 
 DUMDEV=AUTO set in rc.conf, but ran dumpon -v /dev/da0s1b 
 today, the output showed it should be dumping to my swap partition.
 
 APIC is disabled now, but has been enabled in the past, with 
 the same results. POwer management is shut off in the bios.
 
 No System Events are being recorded in BIOS, and, the logs 
 were harvested last week with no abnormalitied showing.
 
 The only item of note, that I found after todays freeze, was in 
 /var/log/maillog, and /var/log/exim/mainlog,   about 15 lines of ^@ 
 recorded at about the exact tine of the freeze. Does anyone 
 think this is significant, or is it simply a symptom of the crash?
 
 ANY help will be greatly appreciated.

A freeze like you describe, no logging sounds like a hardware problem.  You 
didn't include a current dmesg or other system inventory.  You may have 
shared irq's causing the problem, or a power supply, or a management board.


Those are the three things I would look at.

  A freeze like you describe, no logging sounds like a hardware 
problem.  You didn't include a current dmesg or other system 
inventory.  You may have shared irq's causing the problem, or a power 
supply, or a management board.


  Those are the three things I would look at.

Hi all,

I have been pestering everyone who will listen on this, and have yet 
to find a solution ... so here goes again!


I have a FreeBSD system on a Dell PE 1850 that has been randomly 
freezing up from time to time in the past two weeks.


Firewall is enabled, but is very solid as I am using the same rules 
on several other machines.


I spent last Saturday and Sunday at the NOC, running Dell 32 bit 
diagnostics on it, along with memtest32, no errors found over many hours 
of testing.


NO heat of note from the Power supply CPU or system fan.

Nothing ever in log files, no core dumps. I have the DUMDEV=AUTO 
set in rc.conf, but ran dumpon -v /dev/da0s1b today, the output showed it 
should be dumping to my swap partition.


APIC is disabled now, but has been enabled in the past, with the same 
results. POwer management is shut off in the bios.


No System Events are being recorded in BIOS, and, the logs were 
harvested last week with no abnormalitied showing.


The only item of note, that I found after todays freeze, was in 
/var/log/maillog, and /var/log/exim/mainlog,   about 15 lines of ^@ 
recorded at about the exact tine of the freeze. Does anyone think this is 
significant, or is it simply a symptom of the crash?


ANY help will be greatly appreciated.
