The following reply was made to PR kern/103059; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, mikeg@bsd-box.net Cc: Subject: Re: kern/103059: [bce] [patch] "Error mapping mbuf into TX chain!" (tentative patch) Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 07:01:33 +0100 I was setting up, or about to set up, two Dell 2950 servers with BCM5708 and 6.1 on them. Both servers survived "pkg_add -v -r cvsup-without-gui". Both servers crashed within seconds on "pkg_add -v -r zsh". Both servers would crash within seconds trying to run cvsup. I also experienced crashes during interactive shell work. I could however transfer large amounts of data, seemingly without statistically making things worse. I do not have console access to them, so I cannot verify that I was seeing the mbuf mapping error message, but I did verify through an at job that the machine was definitely up and running even after network connectivity died. Both machines are now upgraded to 6.2 and so far the problem has not shown up. Given old behavior I would have crashed them 50 times by now. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
