I'd discuss this with Kazutaka YOKOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Re: syscons hangs with -current

2000-07-12 Thread Eric Anholt

I'm afraid I don't quite understand how that desribes the fix to my 
problem (Freezing on boot after having probed a non-existant vga1 and 
sc1).  What I did do, I went into sys/dev/fb/vga.c and commented out 
the second vga head detection.  Works beautifully now, though it 
would be better to actually figure out why it was finding another vga 
card.  Still, it's up and running.

Now, if I could just figure out why ppp doesn't work (keeps complaining about
"tun0: Warning: Add route failed: 0.0.0.0: errno: Network is unreachable",
dials, and then sits and does nothing.)

I had the same problem beginning yesterday.  My sources were updated
at 1500 UTC Jul 10. System would run for between 15 and 25 minutes before
a panic (something about supervisor mode, sorry I didn't do any
tracking, I assumed I'd missed the SMP commits HEADS UP)..

Retrieved sources as of 1700UTC Jul 11 built cleanly and have been running
fine.

Just as a datapoint, I'm getting reboots and hard locks shortly after
reboot (no more than 20 minutes) using a kernel built from sources from
around 22H30 last night.

A kernel from around the same time on Friday last week does not exhibit
the problem.

Note, though, that my box _does_ make it _well_ past the kernel probe
stage and doesn't show the peculiar sc1 device at probe time.  Any idea
what that is, by the way?  You haven't perhaps got ``device sc 2'' or
something crazy in your kernel config file?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
