Interface Weirdness

2006-03-29 Thread Steve Douville
I have two interfaces, em0 and em1. Whenever I try to put assign an IP address to em1, the kernel crashes. I've tried different ip's and subnets, all with the same result. How can I find the error that caused it to crash? It isn't in the messages log and I'm not sure where else to look. TIA,

Server time doesn't want to stay set (help!)

2006-04-03 Thread Steve Douville
My server time is off by exactly 4 hours. (EDT) I've reset it at the BIOS level, only to have it changed somehow during the boot process. I've tried setting and resetting it through sysinstall, but nothing helps. Running ntpdate doesn't change anything either. I've looked in my rc.conf file for

I've done tzsetup a couple of times to no avail. I cp'd the correct file from zoneinfo to localtime, again nothing changed. I've googled like crazy on this, but most all of the suggestions are the same. web# md5 /etc/localtime MD5 (/etc/localtime) = 2735b3768614a853154db25d18cc5d4b web# ls -l

Geeze, this is very frustrating. :-) I rebooted and went into the BIOS. It was set to the correct time. During the boot process, a message comes up and says that the time has been adjusted. When it's finished, the system time is 4 hours behind. I immediately did tzsetup, told it that UTC was

Okay, I feel pretty stupid... the key is to google with more the pertinent query... The missing piece of information was the message from the kernel... Time adjustment clamped to +1 second The time was trying to be set properly, but couldn't because the kernel.secure.level was set to 2. So,

Kernel Panic

My server is rebooting frequently throughout the day. No apparent rhyme or reason, different applications can cause it. The following is what I get from one of the backtraces. (kgdb) backtrace #0 0xc055c5e2 in doadump () #1 0xc055cb82 in boot () #2 0xc055ce18 in panic () #3 0xc068502c in

a) You're not using the kernel.debug, and b) it's not a sensible backtrace. Perhaps it's a side-effect of a) (i.e. you're not running kgdb against the same kernel that panicked). I compiled the kernel using config -g, then rebooted using that kernel. At some point, the system crashes, the

Weird IP Behaviour

2006-05-03 Thread Steve Douville
I made changes in my rc.conf file, removing an IP address. I renumbered the aliases so that the others were still sequential from 0, since it was alias_0 that I removed. For some reason, when the system restarts, the removed ip address magically appears at the end of the list when I do

Error While Tuning the Kernel

No, you removed too much from your kernel config (this is a FAQ; google would have shown the answer). Kris Yep... didn't catch one of the dependancies... thanks! - Original Message - From: Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Steve
