Re: Fatal Trap 10: trace trap while in vm86 mode, trying to boot install CD after menu

2006-05-14 Thread Peter G
For completeness sakes of the archives my solution
was:
to put the following in the /boot/loader.conf
it's the only way these machines will boot with
FreeBSD given their Serverworks chipsets. 

hw.hasbrokenint12=1
hw.ata.ata_dma=0 

If the previous is ommited after install (after the
CDROM is removed, we used a USB CDROM to load them
right on the racks) we'd get Fatal Trap 12

Previous exchange:

Curiosity question
All these blades have Serverworks chipset in them..
DO you recall if your gateways had that same chipset??

I am going to try when next i get a chance(at the
loader prompt):
set hw.hasbrokenint12=1
set hw.ata.ata_dma=0 

because thsi exchange in the archives leads me to
believe it's a chipset specific problem:

http://groups.google.com/group/muc.lists.freebsd.stable/browse_frm/thread/bb3484c9f7a282/d7d619bf611e0f64?lnk=stq=serverworks+install+group%

3A*freebsd*rnum=5hl=en#d7d619bf611e0f64


On these blades i am trying to install fr a USB CD
drive as the only options in the BiOS is boot fr USB
Floppy, USB CD, internal HD..

Re: Fatal Trap 10: trace trap while in vm86 mode, trying to boot install CD after menu

2006-05-12 Thread Peter G
Thanx for your prompt reply

When i try safe mode or any mode...
The same effect in ANY mode.
i am about to try setting the following at the loader
prompt from the boot menu
set hw.ata.ata_dma=0

and seeing if thsi helps

I do know also taht these blades have a Serverworks
chipset and i looked at this exchange from the
archives:

http://groups.google.com/group/muc.lists.freebsd.stable/browse_frm/thread/bb3484c9f7a282/d7d619bf611e0f64?lnk=stq=serverworks+install+group%3A*freebsd*rnum=5hl=en#d7d619bf611e0f64

The folks in that exchange were able to solve their
problems by eliminating their CD drives, I have a USB
CDROM that i am attempting to load from when i get the
Fatal Trap 10 message,(there is NO option to have a
local CD drive here and the BiOS only offers booting
fr a USB Floppy or USB CD Drive as THE only options
other than fr a local HD inside the blade)... but i
also get the same fatal trap error when i transplant a
known working IDE HD w/ FBSD 5.4 into 1 of the blades
and attempt to boot only from that lone hardrive, so
i'm inclined to now look at thsi chipset to see if
there is a chipset problem correlation  workaround.
There are 5 identical blade servers and they ALL act
identically as reproducing thsi error.

Thanx for your reply, any input is appreciated.

Re: Opteron problem after recompile is ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp

2004-10-27 Thread Peter G
thx Kris

i went over the kernel config file and it doesn't seem
so, i successfully made another 3 kernels w/ more and
more components in each, up to the point where the
only items i did away with were just the NiC cards teh
machine dowsn't have. In each case they all compile
fine BUT they all fail on bootup w/ exact same message
as the subject line above.

I did some digging in the mail list archives and it
seems this was a problem w/ the Sparc64 line early
last spring. Was this resolved or is it now appearing
in this amd64 ARCH that i'm using??

Is there another mail list i should be posting to
specifically for the amd64?

thx

Re: PAE, mem available to user?

2004-03-29 Thread Peter G
Thank you for your response

What i'd like to be able to do on this 5.2.1 machine
is run a user job that may take up 1.5GB of mem, i'd
like it to start swapping which it doesn't do, nor
does it panic, nor does it lock up. It stays
responsive.

Taking what U said i recompiled the kernel as a non
PAE build and included 

options maxusers 512
options MAXDSIZ=(1664*1024*1024)
options DFLDSIZ=(1664*1024*1024)

and i am now able to start the job and watch it go to
about 1.2GB, actually 1.18GB, then either job stops or
job coredumps, machine stays nice and responsive and
stable.

I have it configured w/ 2 large swap files on 2
diffrent spindles but the machine does not start
swapping.

The only error messages in the logs or dmesg is that
this user job core dumped.

What tunable parameters can i put into the next kernel
build configuration to help me here? 
KVA_PAGES? setting maxusers to something else?
I have a very small kernel requirement i want to
maximize my user available space for this job..?

Thanx again

 PAE is for addressing 4GB of memory; since you only
 have about 1.5GB,
 that's not applicable.
 
 You'll need to include more details about your
 system and kernel
 configuration, including error messages showing what
 is going wrong.

PAE, mem available to user?

2004-03-27 Thread Peter G
hi all, read thru the archives, esp thru thread: PAE
testing results ...  from circa May 03.

I am getting a diffrent problem on a uniProc machine.
with 5.2.1 and a stock PAE build.

machine is stable and does not crash, but the big mem
user job we want to submit to it, all these jobs die
when they start using about 400MB of mem, swap doesn't
activate. the user submitted job just core dumps.
With previous 4.5 FBSD machines with the following
kernel options compiled in (before PAE days) on same
machine w/same 1.5GB of physical mem and plenty of
swap, we'd get 1.2GB of usable mem for user job and
rest would be kernel space. Job would run but not
satisfactory, thought modern PAE would be a better
bet.

The kernel options we had used w/ 4.5 back then were:
options MAXDSIZ=(1664*1024*1024)
options DFLDSIZ=(1664*1024*1024)

current Dmesg is listed below;

Thanx in advance and pls reply also to me as i can't
subscribe to the list at  this point.
