8.2 broken CPU speed detection on IBM server
Hello! We've got very strange problem with (at least) two identical IBM Servers System Information Manufacturer: IBM Product Name: IBM System x3650 -[79792AG]- FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE is installed. Depending on the phase of the moon when kernel boots with a change close to 70% the CPU speed is wrongly detected, affecting timing operation for the system. This looks this way: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Sep 22 13:43:28 EEST 2011 r...@newgate.metro.kiev.ua:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NEWGATE i386 Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU5110 @ 1.60GHz (10748.77-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x6fb Family = 6 Model = f Stepping = 11 Features=0xbfebfbff Features2=0x4e33d AMD Features=0x2010 AMD Features2=0x1 TSC: P-state invariant 10.748 Ghz!!! As a result we see 296 interrupts per seconds on CPU (six times less) # vmstat -i interrupt total rate irq15: ata1 35 0 irq17: aac0 525059 22 irq23: uhci0 uhci2+37899 1 cpu0: timer 7063047296 irq256: bce0 5275133221 irq257: bce143824849 1842 cpu3: timer 7063046296 cpu2: timer 7063043296 cpu1: timer 7063045296 Total 77915156 3275 After that ping, top and other applications depending on timer slow down six times (i.e. pings once in 6 seconds). And to round this up: # time sleep 1 real0m6.737s user0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s Playing with BIOS settings did not help at all. Even pressing 'restore defaults'. Updating BIOS did not help either. On the live system kernel has been recompiled, but that does not matter since on another test box the generic kernel is affected by the same problem. What to do Try 7-CURRENT? Install Linux? ;) -- -- Oles Hnatkevych Skype: don_oles http://gnut.able.com.ua/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: IBM server SAS controller support?
I've now added the mfi_load option to loader.conf
At boot this gives me the following message:
module_register: module mfi/mfid already exists!
Module mfi/mfid failed to register: 17
This leads me to believe that the driver is already compiled into the kernel,
as stated by SpamTitan.
The installation procedure still can't find any disks!
Are there any other things I could try? Obviously it can be done, but I'm
apparently not capable of doing it.
Any suggestions, anyone?

Re: IBM server SAS controller support?
Sorry about the blank post...
As I wrote in my former post, SpamTitan claims that the driver is already
compiled into the kernel.
Even if that is correct, it wouldn't hurt to try the loader.conf approach,
would it? Can I just edit the loader.conf file in a loop mounted .iso, and
then just burn the .iso to a bootable CD?

IBM server SAS controller support?
I understand that you, Ivan, managed to install FreeBSD on an IBM Series x 3650 M3 server with the LSI M1015 SAS/SATA RAID controller. Ivan, did you tweak something to install, or did it work "out of the box" for you? Which FreeBSD version did you install? My main objective is to install the appliance distro SpanTitan 5.04 from www.spamtitan.com. It's based on FreeBSD 7.3 and the manufacturer confirms that the mfi(4) driver is compiled into the kernel. I've also tried with another (vanilla) version of FreeBSD (8.1), but with no luck. It just says there's no disk drives found. Regards Christian T.

I got it!. The SATA RAID controller is Adaptec AIC-9580W... Is there full support on FreeBSD for this?

Hi everyone, I need to buy a cheap server, I was looking for something good and I found the IBM X3400 but I would like to know if FreeBSD has the drivers for the SATA RAID controller that comes embedded on the system. At this time I haven't found the specifications for the controller, but I think it's an Adaptec.
