Re: Instant reboot with FreeBSD 6.3 and > 2GB RAM

The reboot occurs right after displaying the FreeBSD loader menu. Most of them told me that they can boot if they reduce RAM to <= 2GB. For what it's worth, I have run several systems with 4GB RAM on FreeBSD/i386 6.3. The only i386 I have left with this much RAM was recently upgraded to 7.0; the rest of my large RAM systems run FreeBSD/ amd64. I didn't see anything obviously bad in your kernel config. By the way, thanks for making FreeNAS...

You serve yourself very well by recompiling all your ports or reinstalling the packages to be the ones built against 6.0. This is especially necessary for libraries and programs that link against those libraries and those programs that dynamically load extensions (such as postgres). Otherwise you're forcing two copies of libc to load at the same time in some cases and that causes no end of confusion.

I have one 1650, three 1550s (one with dual CPU and hardware RAID), and one 2450 dual CPU with hardware RAID all of which work just fine. You need to use the em ethernet driver on the 1650. When I did the install, it was not in the GENERIC kernel, but appears to be now, so it should just work. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D.Khera Communications, Inc.

What I do is disable the netgraph bridging, since I don't like my interfaces constantly running in permiscous mode, then used NAT on the host with a private IP space to access the rest of the world. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D.Khera Communications, Inc.

For me, that is pretty much not possible to do (I hate scheduling downtime when I'm awake since it affects many other users... and I hate waking up at 2am to do it). Thus, I just live with possibly inconsistent dumps. Such is life. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D.Khera Communications, Inc.
