Taking this thread a little further since it is right in line with my todo
list for tonight. I currently have 6.1 installed on a Supermicro machine
with two ata drives. There has been a major bug that causes frequent kernel
panics which started at 6.0. The following build options seemed to help with
quick rebooting and recovery. But of course this week the reboots aren't
going to well and it is definately time to upgrade to 6.2-RELEASE
(RELENG_6_2) in hopes that whatever is causing the kernel panics is software
related and has been fixed.
makeoptions DEBUG=-g
options DDB, KDB, GDB
options INVARIANTS
options INVARIANT_SUPPORT
options WITNESS_KDB
options WITNESS_SKIPSPIN
options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER,ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER
options KDB_UNATTENDED
options QUOTA
options PMAP_SHPGPERPROC=601
options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN
options SMP
options IPFILTER
options IPFILTER_LOG
options IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options DUMMYNET
options IPSTEALTH
options HZ=2000
#optionsRESTARTABLE_PANICS
options PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME=5
Will some of these options still work with 6.2-RELEASE or should I omit
something here in order to use the 6.2 release properly? I am sure there are
some since I am going from a 6.1 prerelease to a release. I am just not sure
which ones should be omitted. I still want the capability of the machine
rebooting unattended if a panic should occur.
Here is some more info in case anybody sees anything that I don't regarding
those panics. Never a single vmcore so I have found debugging quite useless.
But of course I do understand that I have alot to learn about debugging. Not
my forte.
