Re: world build fails since yesterday

FYI

I was able to build world by reverting to a kernel cvsup'ed and built on 
30/05/2003; I could not do so with a kernel cvsup'ed and built on 
06/06/2003.

FWIW: The only way I could get this to work reliably required
that I copy in certain files from the host environment, which
included the kernel, and anything that linked against libkvm.

One thing to do would be to do the buildworld in a 4.x jail/chroot
on a 5.x system..

I had exactly these symptoms with my T30 at one point between 5.0 and
5.1. I got random failures in buildworld as well as in a few ports. I
never had any failures in normal operations and the errors were, when
closely checked, often things like unlinking files and changing file
attributes, not in the actual compile.

I fixed the problem by building a re-starting the build with
-DNOCLEAN. Eventually, the whole thing built. I had to make sure I was
not doing something that might leave damaged files around, especially
incomplete libraries, that would cause make to not rebuild them. It
did take a while.

Once I had built the new system and kernel, I installed them and
immediately did a complete rebuild of the system and kernel just in
case something was not quite right.

My T30 has been happily rebuilding 2 or 3 times a week since then with
no further problems.

Good luck!

YES!!! Finally someone seeing something that could explain my problems!!

My machine, after installing 5.1, constantly powered itself OFF while
doing buildworld. It could do so during other times aswell, but doing a
buildworld would be 100% certain (in the 10-15 cases I tried) to cause
my laptop (a T21) to power down.
However, this would only happen while in the docking station. Now that
I've checked a bit further, it seems as if it's overheating - I've never
had a problem carrying my laptop before, but after a power-down like
that I was not able to touch it except around the edge and at the far
end of where the CPU is located. Very disturbing.
Now even more disturbing is this: In the docking station, -CURRENT
*ONLY* works with ACPI enabled. If I disable ACPI, it won't even mount /
- it hangs while trying.

I'm suspecting that ACPI keeps my CPU fan from spinnning up or spinning
fast enough - and I didn't even know ACPI could control that on my
particular notebook.

Buildworld with ACPI disabled is never a problem.

Overheating/powermanagement - maybe. I have an ASUS 4SX8 with a 1.3 GHz P4.
I would exclude memory problems. I had built world a couple of times

Strangely I got through a second time. The first crash had produced a

Re: world build fails since yesterday

2003-06-26 Thread Tobias Roth
Hi

I get the same behaviour on my T30. Although the indications for a
hardware problem are very strong, I am not yet convinced that this
really is one.

My suspicion is that there are problems with current (as well with
5.1 and probably 5.0) with power management that will result in
overheating, which will then look like a hardware problem.

I am currently running continuous buildworlds on stable, and so far
they all succeeded.

This is what is left to do:

run buildworld on current or 5.1 until it fails a couple of times
with the below errors, then reboot to 4.8 and run a few buildworlds.

if they also fail   -> hardware problem very likely
if they do not fail -> run again a few buldworlds on current.
   if these fail again -> software problem very likely

could you please also set up this test scenario and report the
outcome? my results will be available some time tomorrow

thanks, t.

I had such problems on a dual-proc Asus board. After reducing the DDR
speed a little bit (233MHz, I think, instead of 256MHz), everyting works
just fine.
