Why are you running this in i386 mode? Running an opteron in i386 mode + PAE is a waste of a perfectly good 64 bit box :)
Well, yes, but I can not run -STABLE in amd64 mode... I have to move to the 5.x branch for that. I do so at home, but for this application, I don't feel comfortable with anything less than -STABLE.
Even so, the thing is faster than xeons, due to the superior memory archetecture, especially when using four processors.
mpt0: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0x2000-0x20ff mem \ 0xe5820000-0xe582fff f,0xe5830000-0xe583ffff irq 19 at device 4.0 on pci2 mpt0: error 16 creating per-cmd DMA maps mpt0: Could not allocate DMA memory
16 is EBUSY, whicih makes no sense whatsoever because it never sets error to EBUSY. It would only ever set it to ENOMEM or succeed. I suspect nasty bad memory corruption. Can the mpt device probe correctly if you drop it below 4GB?
Hmm... well, Luoqi Chen emailed me a bit ago with an answer that fixed my problem. I made the suggested changes, recompiled, and the thing seems to work ok now. I have pasted the relivant bits below:
From: Luoqi Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ...
It's a bug in bus_dmamap_create() code, which has been fixed in -current. The fix is rather simple, in i386/i386/busdma_machdep.c, replace the line error = alloc_bounce_pages(dmat, pages); with if (alloc_bounce_pages(dmat, pages) < pages) error = ENOMEM;
