My 3.9 workstation has started locking up on me several times a day. The
box itself has been in use for months. It may be a coincidence that the
problem started shortly after upgrading from 3.8.
I've set ddb.panic=1 and ddb.log=1, but each lock-up just freezes the
system and leaves no clues in dmesg or /var/crash. It almost always
happens under somewhat heavy load. Other than swapping out various bits
of hardware, which would involve buying new bits, are there any other
man pages or useful documents that might help me figure out what the
problem is? Is this a typical bad RAM scenario? I don't expect someone
to solve this problem for me, but any pointers to useful information
would be appreciated.
We have exactly the same problem with an OpenBSD 3.9-stable AMD64. But
the problem occurred even with 3.8.
The PC freezes (with no error message) usually (but not always and not
only) during a large dump.
We changed the CPU, the RAM and the RAID controller (an Intel SRCU42L,
gdt driver) and upgraded the BIOS and the operating system, but the
problem remains.
The dmesg is at the end of this email.
Bye.
