Subject:   Help diagnosing system hangs?
Message-ID:  <20050823073110.3702E284D7@sierra.rtfm.com>

I've recently been experiencing frequent hangs with FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p20.
Strangely, this didn't appear to happen with 5.3-RELEASE or before
a few months ago.

My platform is a P4-2.8 GHz (dmesg appended at end).

The behavior is that X freezes (sorry, I can't say if the clock is still
working because I forgot to check) and sshing into the box hangs.  A
hard reboot clears things and the box starts normally, except that it
fscks as expected. Nothing appears in /var/log/messages, etc.

Because this problem started fairly recently, my one guess is that this
is somehow related to the hyperthreading fix in SA-05:09. This processor
allegedly has hyperthreading but I'm running GENERIC. Any possibility
this could be responsible for hanging somehow?

If this isn't a likely culprit, I'm assuming that the next step is to
try to debug the hang with DDB. There's one added difficulty here which
is that I'm using a Matrox P650 and for some reason the X drivers are
screwy so that once you've entered X any attempt to use the virtual
consoles just gets you a blank screen. So, while I've rebuilt the kernel
with DDB, I suspect that I won't actually be able to force the system
console into debugging mode. I assume that this means I need a serial
console but based on the Handbook serial console section it looks like
I can't use a serial console along with the normal console, and since
I want to use X, that would be bad. Am I misreading this?

Any help FreeBSDers can offer would be much appreciated.

Best,
-Ekr
