It seems mostly but not completely fixed. I got one sig11 (on touch :) building ports. Retrying the port (Mozilla 1.5, pretty big) succeeded, and I got no further sigs doing portupgrade -ap. As always, I can't completely rule out h/w, but the system has never produced any sigs doing builds on RELENG_5_1 or -current before 9/24. However the behavior is very much improved, as -currents after 9/24 until the pmap.c fix would get sigs every few minutes.

Re: Random signals in {build,install}world recently?
From: Doug Rabson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I also get random segfaults and ICEs on my dual 1900+ system with recent current. It certainly isn't hardware problems since older kernels work very nicely. I haven't got around to trying to diagnose what is causing it yet though. I was planning to try disabling a few things like SSE, PSE etc and see if I could improve things. My kernel is dated from 1 October (I did try a bit later than that but those ones just paniced all over themselves, very messy). I've been seeing those on my laptop (PII-700 in an HP Omnibook 6000). What I did find is that if I disable SSE (options CPU_DISABLE_SSE) then I can build without issue. I haven't had to disable anything else. Credit for this goes to somebody else on the list (don't remember who) who said it worked for them. Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.

The latter, with the interval being more like a very few minutes rather than seconds. The system would sit fine when idle, but never make it all the way through buildworld, or buildkernel, or building a port. In one notorious instance, the -current kernel didn't even make it through installworld without a sig. grep, sed, awk, sh have all gotten sigs, not just cc. > My impression so far in this therad is that it's the former.

The frequency of patches to pmap was quite high, and that was not the only file patched. But yes, I can do a binary search. I haven't, because the changes to pmap were architectural; we're not talking about a typo here. Of course it's just my assumption that it's pmap because the eventual panic is there. btw, I use sched_bsd so _ule is not a suspect. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Mixing tin and gold can cause galvanic corrosion. You can also have connection problems due to the buildup of tin oxide on the gold surface. I had memory corruption problems on my Athlon UP system that I tracked down to a memory timing misconfiguration. My memory was rated for a CAS Latency of 2.5, but the motherboard BIOS in "auto" memory configuration mode set the timing to 2.0. When I manually configured the memory timing, the errors went away. The memory errors would show up as random file corruption in "make buildworld", and I also saw errors on one of the last tests that memtest86 performs. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

A good rule of thumb is to make sure that the finish on the DIMM contacts are the same as the ones on the DIMM socket - both gold or both tin.

No. It is dependent on the amount of memory in the system, and the
specific processor features. For example, if you have a newer chip
pair, you are more likely to see the problem than on an older system,
though all Pentium class processors supporting 4M pages have the
problems.
If the issues you are seeing are not signal 10's in processes or a
trap 12 (page not present) panic of the kernel, then most likely the
issue with the 1800+ machine is thermal, if it is not in fact a bad
memory issue (have your memory tested on a professional test machine).
I've noticed a lot of bad problems with Hynix memory lately; your
mileage may vary. At Whistle we had a problem with memory with Gold
contacts, and didn't have any problems with the ones with Tin.
If you could enable HLT in the idle loop (there is a sysctl, and,
I don't know if it's been integrated yet, Julian Elischer published
a patch that did this and aded an IPI to work around the scheduling
latency, which is what not having the HLT supposedly fixed), then
you will likely see the intermittent problem clear itself up, if it
is in fact thermal.
If you are overclocking your machine, or you have bought parts that
have been falsely labeled as higher frequency than they are actually
rated to run at ("counterfeit" chips), then either of these issues
could also be your problem. So could a borderline power supply.

I'm in doubt in this matter, because it's been absolutely stable so far and is as stable as before under Linux and XP. Also, my problems very much coincidence with some list traffic about the same problem, follow the thread: Subject: Seeing system-lockups on recent current Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I also managed to panic the system after repeated attempts to get through the installworld (which all failed).

I have the same MB just with 1800+ processors. I had to reduce the CPU frequency by about 10% in the BIOS setup to get the machine stable.
