Hello This are our findings regarding the survey. Mats Lindberg Bombardier
1. Are you experiencing network hangs and/or "timeout" messages on the console? If yes, please provide a _brief_ description of the problem. >The system runs on an IBM i386 xSeries server and polls every 100 milliseconds another machine using ethernet. >We had a watchdog timeout in the network card and our application went down: >Oct 22 04:14:26 fspa2 kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting } 2. What version of FreeBSD is experiencing this problem? When did the problem start? > FreeBSD 5.4, the problem appears randomly. 3. What network card is experiencing the problem? If there is more than one network card/port in the system, please state which ones are having problems. Optionally, describe the model of the network card, or attach a dmesg output that shows it. > There are two ethernet cards in the system, only bge0 is used, see dmesg output below 4. Is this an SMP or UP machine? Is your kernel configured for SMP? >UniProcessor >See the attached sysctl -a output. 5. Is this machine capable of Hyperthreading (note that this is not the same as multi-core, like the newer AMD and Intel chips)? If so, is Hyperthreading enabled or disabled in the BIOS? If it is enabled, is hyperthreading enabled or disabled in the kernel? >This is the Kernel config file. >include GENERIC >ident PREEMPTION-GENERIC >options PREEMPTION # kernel preemption >options SEMMNS=150 >options SEMMSL=150 6. Is the 'apic' device configured in your kernel? If so, does it appear to be active in the system? An easy way to tell this is if there are interrupt numbers greater than 15. Another way to tell is if there are 'ioapic' device messages early in the boot. There are irq > 15 and there are 'ioapic' device messages early in the boot: Oct 19 07:08:04 fspa2 kernel: ioapic2 <Version 2.0> irqs 48-71 on motherboard Oct 19 07:08:04 fspa2 kernel: ioapic1 <Version 2.0> irqs 24-47 on motherboard Oct 19 07:08:04 fspa2 kernel: ioapic0 <Version 2.0> irqs 0-23 on motherboard 7. Are you using any code patches or non-default configuration options? No 8. Are you using the 4BSD or the ULE scheduler? 4BSD Sheduler You are also welcome to attach a copy of your 'dmesg' output as well as the output from 'vmstat -i'. Please note that a verbose dmesg is not needed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail communication (and any attachment/s) may contain confidential or privileged information and is intended only for the individual(s) or entity named above and to others who have been specifically authorized to receive it.
