My brand new installation of 3.9 (GENERIC, no patches applied as yet) is failing often with similar type messages:
----- start ----- uvm_fault(0xd05c2f60, 0xd0dfb000, 0, 3) -> euvm_fault(0xd05c2f60, 0xd0dfb000, 0, 3) -> e kernel: page fault trap, code-0 Stopped at uvm_fault+0x28c: incl uvmexp+0xf4 ddb> ----- end ----- "ddb> trace" output is: ----- start ----- uvm_fault(d60b9294,1c013000,0,1,3) at uvm_fault+0x28c trap() at trap+0x259 --- trap (number 6) --- 0x1c0138cc: ddb> ----- end ----- "ddb> ps" output is: ----- start ----- PID PPID PGRP UID S FLAGS WAIT COMMAND *5095 3924 3924 0 7 0x4006 mount 3924 1 3924 0 3 0x4086 pause sh 12 0 0 0 3 0x100204 crypto_wa crypto 11 0 0 0 3 0x100204 aiodoned aiodoned 10 0 0 0 3 0x100204 syncer update 9 0 0 0 3 0x100204 cleaner cleaner 8 0 0 0 3 0x100204 reaper reaper 7 0 0 0 3 0x100204 pgdaemon pagedaemon 6 0 0 0 3 0x100204 pftm pfpurge 5 0 0 0 3 0x100204 usbtsk usbtask 4 0 0 0 3 0x100204 usbevt usb0 3 0 0 0 3 0x100204 apmev apm0 2 0 0 0 3 0x100204 kmalloc kmthread 1 0 1 0 3 0x4084 wait init 0 -1 0 0 3 0x80204 scheduler swapper ddb> ----- end ----- This particular output resulted from trace and ps following a crash during boot, around the time (various) daemons are loading. By various, sometimes the last loaded/attempted is httpd, another time it is ntpd, another time it is sshd, etc. This has been tried several times. If the machine does manage to boot, it will die/crash in similar fashion, the common element being uvm_fault. Often this will happen while trying to update the ports tree or trying to apply the sendmail patch, but it can happen at any time. I usually have vm.swapencrypt.enable=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf, but have tried it with default settings as well with the same result. I have tried mounting the drives with and without softupdates, again with the same results. This machine was fine (running OpenBSD for several years, the latest being 3.8) until Friday when I did the upgrade. Since then I have basically swapped out all of the cards, motherboard, memory, power supply, even drives. Far as I can tell, the power supplied to the machine is OK, and (again, far as I can tell) the power supplies themselves are in good working order -- I have had power supplies fail before and I keep an extra or two on hand just in case. I have installed several times and this can happen as soon as the first reboot following installation or after some configuration and installation of packages has taken place. Currently I was able to install the packages I normally use, and the machine started acting up again during updating of the ports tree. At this point the machine will not fully boot.

The dmesg above reflects a different board and memory (also different video card and power supply) -- again I have tried to isolate a hardware issue but this just keeps failing. There are other machines feeding from the same power and they are running well. What else? I have successfully installed 3.9 on two other machines and they are running (updated and patched) in perfect order. Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour recently? Possibly there is some piece of hardware I am overlooking? Any ideas/advice will be appreciated. Thanks, Joe
