Okay, I'm pretty sure this isn't a hardware problem now. I was seeing periodic crashes with 4.5-RELEASE on a new laptop I was building. Various posts on this list convinced me that I had a hardware problem. I tried swapping out the RAM and it seemed to crash less (and in a different place). Crashes after swapping the RAM were always in the xl routines. So, being convinced that I had a hardware problem (mother board or cpu or something like that), I swapped out the *entire machine*. I'm still seeing the crashes. So, I have /usr/ports nfs mounted from another freebsd box. I cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-workstation; make install The machine panics (sometimes right away, sometimes after several minutes). Here's the panic message: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xc0fcec39 fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc0205243 stack pointer = 0x10:0xcde4fbd0 frame pointer = 0x10:0xcde4fbe4 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 80 (nfsiod) interrupt mask = net tty kernel: type 12 trap, code=0 Stopped at nfs_realign+0xdb: incb 0(%eax,%edx,1) db> trace nfs_realign(c0ea5200,14,0,1,cdeb0cc0) at nfs_realign+0xdb nfs_receive(c17ca280,cde4fc6c,cde4fc70,0,1) at nfs_receive+0x45d nfs_reply(c17ca280,cde4fdc0,0,20,10) at nfs_reply+0x45 nfs_request(ce0b3c80,c0e5bf00,6,0,c16dcc80) at nfs_request+0x39a nfs_readrpc(ce0b3c80,cde4fdc0,c16dcc80,c68a25b8,cdeb0cc0) at nfs_readrpc+0x538 nfs_doio(c68a25b8,c16dcc80,0) at nfs_doio+0x14b nfssvc_iod(cc379740,cc379740,2,cde4ff80,c37d880) at nfssvc_iod+0x1c2 nfssvc(cc379740,cde4ff80,2,0,bfbffdd8) at nfssvc+0x6f syscall2(2f,2f,2f,bfbffdd8,0) at syscall2+0x1f5 Xint0x80_syscall() at Xint0x80_syscall+0x25 db> FYI, this machine is an HP Omnibook 6000. It has the "xl" ethernet built in and this is the interface I'm using. In this particular case, my entire sequence of events was: boot login su mount /usr/ports (from the nfs server) cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-workstation make clean make install <kaboom> Just had another crash, panic this time was again supervisor read, page not present, but current process was syncer. Traceback shows: malloc(...) initiate_write_inodeblock(...) softdep_disk_io_initiation(...) spec_strategy(...) bwrite(...) vop_stdbwrite(...) vop_defaultop(...) vfs_bio_awrite(...) spec_fsync(...) sched_sync(...) fork_trampoline(...) I do have soft updates turned on on the single / filesystem on this box. Should I turn them off? I would be happy to supply my kernel config file to anyone interested. P.S. I also have the problem with these Omnibooks that if you tell them to "reboot" (or "halt" followed by pressing any key to reboot), they hang in a weird kind of half power on state. The display goes black (the backlight turns off), but if you shine a flashlight on the LCD, you can still see text there. The Power light on the front does not turn off, and the machine still generates plenty of heat, but the cpu cooling fan will not turn itself on. Any suggestions for that? -jan- -- Jan L.
