reproducible panic on 8.2-RELEASE, but no core file

2011-08-23 Thread Aragon Gouveia

Hi,

I'm experiencing a reproducible kernel panic that would be really nice 
to debug, but unfortunately no core file is getting generated.  I don't 
have console access either.  All I can get so far is this, from syslog:

Keyspan USB serial adapter

2008-09-16 Thread Aragon Gouveia
Hi,

I'm on the market for a USB serial adapter.  The Keyspan USA-19HS gets a
lot of good reviews for its performance, but I've noticed previous Keyspan
models have a history of not supporting FreeBSD due to firmware issues. 
The 19HS is listed in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs with nothing noted about
firmware (as opposed to the older 19WQ).  Can I assume that the firmware
problems of the past aren't relevant to the current 19HS?

Can anyone confirm if a USA-19HS works on FreeBSD 7-STABLE right now?

[1] The FreeBSD project would have to commit resources too.  Its community

the project before committing any resources to it.

For (a), (b), and (z), this is where you come in.  Define the goal.  Make a
plan to get there.  Assess the effort involved.  Convince your employer that
(a), (b) and (z) is worth it to him/her and that the result of (z) will
convince the FreeBSD project to commit the resources needed to integrate it. 
If they're happy, start working on (z) and bring it to the FreeBSD project
when you think it's ready.

If the FreeBSD project has to be involved in (a), (b), or (z), it will
have to commit its own resources to the effort.  See [1].

Just my humble observation as a fellow FreeBSD user...

FWIW, I've had problems with 7.0's boot loader locking up too.  I'm running
a -stable compile from march and during bootup, if I make too many
keypresses the bootup sequence freezes.  Once loader has handed off to the
kernel then everything's fine, but I can't make any use of loader's or
bootX's command lines without the system freezing.  I'm careful not to touch
my keyboard during bootup!

Keyboard and mouse are both USB.

Unfortunately, no luck.  I've just tried:

* USB and PS/2 keyboards both plugged in, enough key input on the PS/2
keyboard causes a freeze

* Just the PS/2 keyboard plugged in, no different.

* Just the PS/2 keyboard plugged in, and USB legacy disabled in the BIOS. 
Same.

Is it possible that excessive build optimisations could lead to this?  Last
time I rebuilt I did so with '-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing' and -march in
make.conf.  I've been meaning to try with a rebuilt loader with no
optimisations...


> P.S. -- Why are you slamming keys during the bootup sequence?  :-)

It's my workstation and I'm usually impatient to get through the bootup
sequence quickly. :)

Did a bit of experimenting now.  My system uses the boot0 boot manager.  I
can't reproduce the keypress freeze issue in any part of boot0, 1, or 2
stages.  It only becomes a problem when loader takes over.

Once loader takes over the system can freeze at any point if too many
keypresses are made at any point while loader is in control - at the
prompt, while it's busy pulling the kernel/modules off the disk, any time.

The actual amount of too many keypresses is seemingly random.  It can freeze
with just one keypress, or after the upteenth keypress - my record is about
25 keypresses without freezing. :)  Not a fun game if you're trying to use
the loader prompt.

At one point while I was testing now the display output went translucent
red when the system froze after some keypresses.  Strange huh?  I didn't
know transparency was supported in text mode. :)

You are correct.  I usually whack enter 3 times or so straight after BIOS
post to eliminate boot0's, boot2's, and loader's timeouts.

Hi,

I just updated a 7.0-RELEASE system to 7.1-PRERELEASE.  Everything went
smoothly.  This is on an HP Pavilion dv2600 notebook.

In particular I am beyond happy with the new linux emulation updates!  I saw
all the relevant patches have been committed to RELENG_7 now so I didn't
have to do any manual patching.  I take it this means 7.1-RELEASE will
launch with them?

In any case, for the first time in my history of using BSD as a workstation
OS have I finally been able to have a fully working flash setup.  BIG thanks
to everyone that made it happen - this is going to make 7.1 rock.

I just upgraded to 7.1 today.  No luck, even with loader compiled without
optimisations, it is still unstable on my system for some reason.  No
biggie for me, but possibly worthy of investigation if others have similar

Quick (progressive) update!

I thought I'd see how loader behaves on my various boot CDs.  My 7.0-RELEASE
discs both work fine - loader doesn't freeze.  My 7.1-BETA2 disc's loader
behaves the same as the loader I compile.

I've copied the loader binary from one of the 7.0-RELEASE discs onto my
system and it works great just like that, and no more freezing.

Perhaps a change that happened in RELENG_7 after 7.0-RELEASE is causing
this?  I've been experiencing it since my RELENG_7 checkout in May this
year.

A very interesting phenomenon is the massively delayed file writing on
ZFS filesystems I realise. Editing a file in 'vi' running on one XTerm
and having in another Xterminal my shell for compiling this file, it
takes sometimes up to 20 seconds to get the file updated after it has
been written. It's like having an old, slow NFS connection with long
cache delays.
These massively delayed file transactions are not necessarely under
heavy load, sometimes they occur in a relaxed situation. They seem to
occur much more often on the UP box than on the SMP boxes, but this
strange phenomenon also occur on the Dell Poweredge II, which has 16GB
RAM and summa summarum 16 cores. This phenomenon does occur on ZFS- and
UFS2 filesystems as well. It is hardly reproducable.


I'm experiencing the same thing, except in my case it's most noticeable 
when writing to a USB flash drive with a FAT32 filesystem.  It slows the

or a memory file system.


I don't know if it's related.  I'm running 8-STABLE from about 4 December.

instability with gmirror and atacontrol spindown

2008-05-14 Thread Aragon Gouveia
Hi,

I eagerly started using atacontrol's new spindown command the other day. 
There's a gmirror volume running on top of the two disks that get spundown. 
I find that often when the drives are spun back up to serve a disk request,
one of the ata devices times out and my system goes into a never ending loop
of retrying.  At that point I'm lucky if I'm able to shutdown gracefully.

This is what is logged on the console after the disk spin up message:

ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing
request directly
ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing 
request directly
ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE taskqueue timeout - completing

ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE taskqueue timeout - completing

ad8: WARNING - SET_MULTI taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
ad8: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=20047817
ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing

request directly
ad8: WARNING - SET_MULTI taskqueue timeout - completing request directly
ad8: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (0 retries left) LBA=20047817


I can only reproduce it when my gmirror volume is running.

Any ideas?


Thanks,
Aragon

I have a similar problem.  If I boot up with a umass device connected, my
7.0-STABLE system core dumps when hald starts.

I guess don't boot up with a umass device plugged in. :)

That was my experiense when shopping around yes - annoying as I
don't need anything particularly low power (it ain't going to
be my leccy bill :-).


The Atom 230 and 330 are supposed to be 64-bit capable:

http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=36331,35635,35641,

but I have not personally tested either with an AMD64 FreeBSD install.



It needs to be:

1) Complete as purchased - I dont want to build a machine
2) Capable of having a simple boot device (e.g. CF card) dropped in
3) At least one ether port. 100 meg will do.
4) Small enough to be posted to the end user
5) Cheap - under 400 euros, preferably 300


You might consider something like this:

http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/acatalog/T7-330_Barebones.html

Or this which is rack mountable:

http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/acatalog/T2e_300atom_nocd.html

Both Atom 330 based and prebuilt.

No affiliation with them, but I almost ordered one and found their 
support to be responsive and helpful. :)

Now *that* is very much what I am thinking of - OK, I will need to drop
in a CF->SATA along with the card, but thats not much hassle. 64 bit
and I can add in more RAM than on the other. Thanks, I hadn't realised
the new ATonms did 64 bit.


No, I don't think you will need a CF->SATA adapter.  A simple CF->ATA 
adapter should do.  Those systems just have an Intel GCLF2 board in 
them, which has both SATA and ATA:


http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/D945GCLF2-D945GCLF2D/D945GCLF2-D945GCLF2D-overview.htm

Best you mail them to confirm though...

They're also fanless. :)

Chipset has a fan, however the processor itself is fanless. I've read 


You are correct about the Intel GCLF2, however I was talking 
specifically about the tranquil system.  They build their systems to be 
fanless, so I assume they remove the stock heatsinks/fans.  The systems 
are quite heavy if you look at the specs, so the casing is probably a 
big heatsink.

Ideally you should build, install, and boot your new kernel before
installing your new world. If your new kernel fails to boot for whatever
reason, you can easily boot the old kernel and have a fully functional
system again. If you installworld before verifying your new kernel, you
could run into worse problems if your new kernel doesn't load and you
have to boot the old kernel with your new world.
