Do I need to be concerned about these boot entries in /var/log/messages (running -CURRENT i386):
kernel: pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1 -> kernel: $PIR: ROUTE_INTERRUPT failed. kernel: pci1: <display, VGA> at device 0.0 (no driver attached) and I presume to be related: kernel: vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 -> kernel: unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources (port) -> kernel: unknown: <PNP0a03> can't assign resources (port) -> kernel: unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources (port) -> kernel: unknown: <PNP0700> can't assign resources (port) -> kernel: unknown: <PNP0401> can't assign resources (port) -> kernel: unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources (port) The system is prone to random lock-up (not observed previously when running 5.2-RELEASE). The lockup can be induced by running xmms - quite quickly when playing from a streaming source and playing through the sound card[1]. However the lockup will also occur at random although it has always been observed to happen as a result of user activity (I don't recall having returned to find the system rebooted[2]). Aside from running xmms, this lockup will usually not occur until after some (variable) hours of use. Another symptom I get is that because of the unclean unmounts of / and /usr, the delayed fsck kicks in at about the same time that my desktop session is reloading. This currently[3] results in evolution-alarm-notify crashing. I can get no crashdump info from bug-buddy, however. If the background fsck isn't running (e.g. if I wait for it to complete before logging in to the desktop), I don't get the crash. I don't get any log entries or core dumps to work with and am currently at a loss as to the likely cause or resolution. Any and all tips, clues, hints, pointers, instructions, directives and derisive comments appreciated. Wayne [1] Recently the system booted without (the BIOS) finding the soundcard (this happens very occasionally, nothing to do with FBSD). Curious, I ran xmms from the streaming source and set the output to write to a file. I left this running for around two hours and it had written around 1.5G before I stopped it. I can't run xmms and play through the soundcard (Xitel Storm Platinum/Aureal Vortex 2) for anywhere near that long without experiencing a lock up. [2] The system always reboots itself, about 20 seconds after the lockup occurs. [3] These symptoms (programs crashing while the destop is reloading and the background fsck is running) have been varied, changing as I've recompiled various ports. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
