Hello,
Since 1 or 2 months, I experienced panics when I use the ath interface of our
server (configured as hostap). Also, the system hangs often (without panic)
during the boot process at the "Setting hostname: icarus." level. Because I had
absolutely no time, I couldn't learn to use the kernel debugger before.
icarus# uname -a
FreeBSD icarus 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Sun Jul 3 15:14:13
CEST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ICARUS i386
Sources are from July, 1
debug.mpsafenet: 1
After compiling the kernel with debug options, I get the following during the
boot process:
Setting hostname: icarus.
lock order reversal
1st 0xc2cd4c6c ath0 (network driver) @
/usr/src/sys/dev/ath/if_ath.c:893
2nd 0xc30583c8 user map (user map) @ /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_map.c:2998
I suppose this explains the occasional hangups during the boot process?
The following was obtained after a panic (which occured only when I use the ath
interface):
icarus# kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.86

Another important detail could be that I use a dual Xeon box, which HT enabled,
which results in 4 logical CPU's and explain why anybody reported this problem
before?!
I hope somebody could help, if you need additional informations, let me know.
Thank you.
