I would risk the upgrade to 5.3. What can you lose? It is crashing frequently already... 5.2.1 was not a stable release officially. Just make sure that you follow the migration guide step by step (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/migration-guide.html). Do not skip mergemaster. And you must recompile all installed binaries after the upgrade, including all installed ports.

Hi,

I've been asked to help this former customer.
This box is running 5.2.1 with as most "exotic" application jave/tomcat. And
it crashes too often. The first essential question for the customer is: Is
this hardware??? So I did the 'make -j 8 buildworld' test, which it survived
with flying colors.


What do I find in the logs:
Nov 12 11:22:01 ktc syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
Nov 12 11:22:01 ktc kernel: panic: vm_fault: fault on nofault entry, addr:
ee8fd000
Nov 12 11:22:01 ktc kernel:

Nov 12 11:22:01 ktc kernel: Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on

......
Nov 12 11:22:02 ktc kernel: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted
Nov 12 11:53:54 ktc syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
Nov 12 11:53:54 ktc kernel: panic: vm_fault: fault on nofault entry, addr:
ee79f000
Nov 12 11:53:54 ktc kernel:
Nov 12 11:53:54 ktc kernel: syncing disks, buffers remaining... panic:

Nov 12 11:53:54 ktc kernel: Uptime: 31m36s
Nov 12 11:53:54 ktc kernel: Shutting down ACPI


Now the panic in the syncing part, I can imagine to just be there since
syncing disk after a panic has not really worked all that well in 5.x

Customer has disabled all warnings/witness/.....

And I can not make much of the comments on sys/vm/vm_fault.c:278, which is
where the fault on nofault occurs...

My feeling says: upgrade to 5.3, but this being a production server running
soem applications I know very little off holds me back.


So is this for sure a hardware problem, or just leftovers from 5.2.1????
