Ok, guess something is amiss with the CD-ROM drive on this notebook,
as
in GNOME, it flashes an icon of a CD on the desktop from time to
time, as if
it has detected a disc in the drive. But of course there
is no disc in the
drive. I believe it did the same with 6.3 though,
but as said before didn't
ever panic due to this issue.

So, some anecdotal info, after running RC2 for
a few days now. It
seems the pattern is that it seems to always panic a few
minutes after
a first cold boot, but then seems to remain stable after the
second
boot. Odd, as with 6.3 this didn't happen. So, I happened to catch
a
panic while working in the syscons console after one of these cold

boots. As far as I can tell, the panic does have something to do with
the
the CD-ROM drive, as right after I saw this message on the
console, it
immediately paniced:

acd0: WARNING - PREVENT_ALLOW read data overrun 18>0


and then the panic is as follows:

kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled

Hi Rory,

did you see my replies or are you missing them for any reason?

Yes, I have seen your replies. I must have missed the PR you mentioned last time, sorry.


Your panics and
some aspects about how they happens look like mine to me, look here:
http:
//lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-October/045865.html

Yes, indeed. That looks very similar to the issue I'm running into with 6.4-RC2 as well. Sounds like it might be a regression in ata(4). At least you were able to open the core dump. Are you still able to open core dumps with RC2?




Unfortunately I got no answer about that and I've had no comment in the pr I've
filed http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=128076
I wonder if someone had
the time to look at it.
