Re: kernel panic at boot on any 6.x OS
It looks as if you've hit a device driver that is trying to print out a null string. The message you've given doesn't provide any more information than that. If you install a snapshot kernel it will probably have ddb compiled in which will allow you to at least get a backtrace.

I think the real message of all this is that our locking strategy is basically pretty reasonable for the paths exercised by this (and quite a few) workloads, but our low-level scheduler and locking primitives need a lot of refinement. The next step here is to look at the impact of these changes (individually and together) with other hardware configurations and other workloads. On the hardware side, I'd very much like to see measurements done on that rather nasty generation of Intel Xeon P4's where the costs of mutexes were astronomically out of proportion with other operation costs, which historically has heavily pessimized ULE due to the additional locking it had (don't know if this still applies). It would be really great if we could find workload owners who would maintain easy-to-run benchmark configurations and also run them regularly on a fixed hardware configuration over a long time publishing results and testing patches. Kris has done this for SQL benchmarks to great effect, giving a nice controlled testing environment for a host of performance-related patches, but SQL is not the be-all and end-all of application workloads, so having others do similar things with other benchmarks would be very helpful.

I think its not very difficult to make a scripted load test, with 2/4/6/8/16/32 scans in parallel, with ULE or BSD scheduler. As long as it is realistic and reproduceable, it sounds good to me. Btw: what is the best method to profile a threaded application to see where it spends the most CPU time ? Try looking at system pmc support -- using system pmcs, you can profile a variety of factors (including CPU use, cache misses, etc) across the whole system (kernel and application), so it's a really neat tool.

I also don't see a make installworld. I usually perform those steps after I've rebooted to ensure that my system will boot off the new kernel, as per the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook. Joe, please try booting from a 6.2-release install ISO. If it works without panicing, then you did something wrong during the upgrade. Downloading the image now, I'll let you know if I'm able to boot from it... Since by your own admission your not an expert, you would be well advised to simply back up your files the old fashioned way, reformat your hard disk, install from a 6.2 boot ISO, then restore your files. Leave the fancy in-place updating to someone else. It's a big PIA and doesen't work half the time anyway. How well does simply upgrading with the CD work (as opposed to wiping clean)? I've upgraded several times to new releases simply by rebuilding world, it has never failed me in the past. I don't doubt what you are saying here, but since I will have to change how I work, assuming that I can boot off of the 6.2 CD, I'd appreciate any general upgrade tips that don't involve wiping the disk clean (which is not really an option). For instance, is rebuilding world between point releases (e.g. 5.4 to 5.5) an okay idea, compared to across major releases (e.g. 5.5 to 6.2)? I'll do my own homework regarding this too, but I appreciate any nuggets of wisdom you might have! As far as me being an expert, I guess I'd categorize me somewhere in between complete newb and FreeBSD developer =) Thanks again! - --- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) iD8DBQFF4oC3CgdfeCwsL5ERAj3vAJ9bMYSj33hg/jU5jU6RyIjXqJ/YLwCfVumh FsunyXJGMjXHEHKso7xWzcI= =0p6j -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
