I had that problem three times: Once, when I tried using a K6-3 on my Gigabyte GA5-AX Motherboard. They just weren't working together, when I changed back to a K6-2 (both tried at 350 MHz) the problems disappeared. The K6-3 works fine now in another machine (MSI Mainboard or something like that). Another time something like that happened, when my cooler failed. On one of my old Suns I had a similar problem, when one of the SIMMs was damaged. So, get on and check 'ya hardware.

It turns out that fixing the downward-trending h optimization is trivial. Well, trivial for me anyway. I have to rewrite vm_map_insert() and vm_object_coalesce() but they needed cleaning up anyway. It turns out that for anonymous objects we can use the vm_map_entry->offset field to create a trivial object coalescing case. By setting the vm_map_entry->offset field to be the same as the virtual start address, adjacent entries in memory wind up being adjacent in the object as well. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
4.0 hangs (fwd)
Hi, guys! Any comments? I had to downgrade back to 3.4 yesterday.. which works absolutely without problems. If you're going to say ``it's hardware problem'' -- this was my first thought too. I tried to change memory and it did not help. Ideas? Yours, Andrew. - Forwarded message (env-from am) - >From am Sat Feb 12 16:03:39 2000 Subject: 4.0 hangs To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2000 16:03:39 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL54 (25)] I upgraded to 4.0 from 3.4-stable some days ago. Upgrade (make world) itself was not smooth, /bin/sh was replaced with new version during install phase. And old 3.4 kernel can't handle some system calls of it, so everything traps with sig12. I had to first build new kernel, for which new `config' is required ans so on. But may be it is supposed to upgrade kernel first and this mess is my fault. Anyway, now I have 4.0 system and 4.0 kernel. Every 15 minutes or so it silently hangs or reboots. I upgraded kernel to today's cvs.. nothing changed. I removed linux support, P1003_1B option. Now it can work for about 1..2 hour in a row. 3.4 version worked for weeks without any problems on the same hardware. I cannot see any relations of halts with what I do. It appears, that it happens at the moments of active swapping.. But once it halted while I read the mail and the system was idle. I would like to dig in this problem. Any way to see where it hangs (working under X)? I would really appreciate any help.. My dmesg: Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.

MAP_GUARDED patch (Re: Heads up, vm.max_proc_mmap sysctl added)

I've worked up a patch to add MAP_GUARDED, which I give a reference to below. However, there are some issues: * MAP_GUARDED cannot be combined with MAP_STACK. You have to manage the 'stack' resource yourself by calling getrlimit() and checking it, then using a normal anonymous mmap. * While you can use fixed addresses with MAP_GUARDED maps, if you use downward trending address the VM system can't coalesce the VM objects, so the vm_map_entry optimization will not occur. Here is how MAP_GUARDED works: mmap(NULL, len, prot, MAP_GUARDED|MAP_ANON, -1, 0); mmap(addr, len, prot, MAP_GUARDED|MAP_ANON|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); The returned map will be 'len' bytes long. The first and last page of this map will be guarded and accessing it will result in a bus fault (you get a seg fault if you access totally unmapped space, you get a bus fault if you access a guard page). So the offsets 0-4095 and len-4096 to len-1 will be guarded. I believe that this can be used in the current threads library but you have to pay attention to a couple of things: * First, you have to use mmap(NULL... ), allocating out of the normal mmap space rather then allocating out of the user stack space. * Second, remember that both the first AND the last page of the returned map is guarded. * Third, since we are not allocating out of the user stack space, you must call getrlimit() and manage the stack resource limit yourself. You might as well do this anyway, because MAP_STACK currently allows you to mmap() out-of-range stacks but then faults when you try to access them. Broken!!! * Lastly, as with MAP_STACK, don't even try calling madvise() on a submap of any of these maps, nor use mmap() to submap any of these maps. Both MAP_STACK and MAP_GUARDED break badly if you do that (MAP_STACK might even potentially crash the machine, but I haven't checked it deeply yet). I believe that I can fix the downward-trending optimization problem but it's more work then I have time for right now. Please check out the patch and tell me what you think. http://www.backplane.com/FreeBSD4/ http://www.backplane.com/FreeBSD4/guard-1.diff http://www.backplane.com/FreeBSD4/guard.c I also looked at the linux threads library. They do guard pages in a way that is just as broken as the way we do them, but I'm not sure if there is a kernel resource issue for them. It looks like it would be easy to patch the port to be optimal under FreeBSD. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: Thinkpad won't boot ISO image
Mine is on 0x8b. Following some sugestions I hacked my boot/loader to look specifically at 0x8b it didn't work.

I noticed a huge difference between the 2, with a comment in the 1st stage boot loader about a workarround for int 13h handling since not all bios's did it correctly.

You'll need a CD burner and the time & patience to produce a small number of coasters for this. In sys/boot/i386/loader/main.c:main() you will need to print the value of initial_bootdev, sometime after the console is initialised. From what I've seen, I get the impression that it will be something like 0x87. This is the root of the problem; floppy disks are typically numbered 0,1 and hard disks are numbered 0x80,0x81, etc. Normally all the unit numbers are contiguous. If this is the case, you will need to modify sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c:bd_init() to check whether it's scanned the BIOS unit number from initial_bootdev, and if not (and it's legal) scan it as well. Once we've 'probed' the BIOS unit, everything else should work correctly. If you decide to take this on, please let me know how you go.

Matt stated this correctly, and I misread it. : :Jason Heh heh. Yes, this is my one worry - the guard page between thread stacks as well as the fact that MAP_STACK is used causes a vm_map_entry to be allocated for each thread stack, which is seriously annoying but there is nothing we can do about it at the moment. It is possible to fix the problem. We can add a new mmap() flag which we call MAP_GUARDED which would basically be an anonymous mmap() which implements a special case in vm_fault. This pager is designed to always return a failure for the first and last page. The size of the mmap() determines where the guard pages are and would be stored as part of the vm_map_entry (only for the MAP_GUARDED case). Adjacent vm_map_entry structures with the same guard size would be coalesced. Thus any threaded program will still only require a single vm_map_entry field yet still be completely flexible in regards to the guard pages. Is anyone interested in me doing this for the 4.0 release? It would help both our current threads model and the linux threads model a lot. I can do it in a day and it should be trivial to test, the modifications are actually quite minor. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: Problems with Recent PPP Changes
A very careful reading of the man page shows: Note that two parsers will examine these escape sequences, so in order to have the `chat parser' see the escape character, it is necessary to escape it from the `command parser'. This means that in practice you should use two escapes, for example: So, I changed my set login to set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:-\\r-ogin: \\#xxx word: xx" ^^ and, it worked. I previously tried one escape for the '#'. But, two parsers see the login string. So, two escapes are needed.

Heads up, vm.max_proc_mmap sysctl added
This deals with a mmap+fork bomb that can cause the kernel to eat all of KVM in vm_map_entry structures. The default limit should be set generously enough for people using the current FreeBSD threads incarnation (and isn't an issue w/ linux threads due to rfork resulting in scaling of the limit for the shared address space).

sysinstall of 20000214 snap hangs
I just tried installing the 2/14 4.0 snap onto a Cyrix MediaGX-based box, and the sysinstall hung at the "probing devices" phase. Because the 3.4 sysinstall works just fine on this box, and because the last thing I see on the debug screen (ttyv1) is DEBUG: Found a disk device named ad0 I'm inclined to cast a suspicious eye toward Soren's new IDE driver :-). I realize the information I've provided so far is unlikely to be sufficient to diagnose, much less remedy, the problem; but I'm not not sure what to do next. I'm happy to work with anyone who'd like to take a closer look at this. Jim Shankland Decision Data/NLynx Systems, Inc.

Re: Thinkpad won't boot ISO image
This is a problem with the thinkpad BIOS that I have not had the time to be able to track down. It would *appear* to be that the BIOS does not do int 13 handling on boot cdroms, and the boot/loader makes much use of that for loading the kernel and drivers. I am, however, out of my league on this. Some feedback from the boot/loader team would be greatly appreciated in this. *hint* *hint* -- David Cross | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Acting Lab Director | NYSLP: FREEBSD Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science| Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Thinkpad won't boot ISO image
I've tried to boot the ISO image (RC2) on an IBM Thinkpad, type 2621. I get the keyboard probe, and then the >> boot prompt comes up. It doesn't appear to be able to see the loader, and can't boot a kernel. In a Desktop system the disc works all the way to the sysinstall menu. I'm not sure if this is a known issue with the thinkpads or with the ISO boot image, but I thought it might be worth letting people know. I managed to install -CURRENT before on this machine off of floppies and over FTP, so I don't believe it's an issue with the kernel or the hardware in general. Does anyone have any ideas?

RE: Problems with Recent PPP Changes
Ran into this quoting change problem too. It affects authname, authkey, and phone strings as well. Phone numbers with '*' sequences failed for me, as well my authname and authkey settings (which contained non-alphanumerics). Encasing these strings in "" worked for me. Since your ISP is asking for PAP, I would do the following: set login set authname "yourLoginName" set authkey "yourPassword" If the empty 'set login' fails to work for you, try set login "ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: \\U word: \\P" Maybe somebody can make this new qouting behavior more clear in an example in the sample ppp.conf installed in /etc?
