Re: Gateway 980 server freeze?
Greetings, More information: It seems that the problem is with SMP enabled. If I use just a snigle processor all is well. The problem can be reproduce merely by enabling SMP in the kernel. I have tested and I can not reproduce in 5.1 . So currently the solutions are to use FreeBSD 5.1 or Move either the RAID controller or the NIC from the pci-x slot to a standard pci slot. > Greetings, > > Additional information: > > If I enable the 82544GC onboard nic and place the PCI-X Intel 82544Ei > card a pci standard slot (not pci-x) then the box hangs on boot at the > megaraid controller after sees raid5 stripe. > > If I disable the 82544GC onboard nic and place the PCI-X Intel 82544Ei > card a pci standard slot (not pci-x) then the box functions great. > > >> Greetings, >> >> I am having trouble with a new Gateway 980 server.

Re: Gateway 980 server freeze?
Greetings, Additional information: If I enable the 82544GC onboard nic and place the PCI-X Intel 82544Ei card a pci standard slot (not pci-x) then the box hangs on boot at the megaraid controller after sees raid5 stripe. If I disable the 82544GC onboard nic and place the PCI-X Intel 82544Ei card a pci standard slot (not pci-x) then the box functions great. > Greetings, > > I am having trouble with a new Gateway 980 server.

Gateway 980 server freeze?
Greetings, I am having trouble with a new Gateway 980 server. I am running fresh cvsup RELENG_4, kernel is stock except for maxusers set to 512, ipfw enabled, and smp enabled. System information is as follows: Motherboard information is located at: http://support.gateway.com/s/Servers/COMPO/MOTHERBD/4000791/4000791mv.shtml The raid card is a LSI U320 LVD 2-Channel SCSI Array Controller. Box configure with raid5 +hotswap Symptoms: Box doing internal operations all well. Upon placing load on device through NIC box freezes. Reproducible via a scp of tar files from any server on same switch. After box freezes you can eject a drive from the raid5 array and no alarms no trigger hot swap, no nothing. Additional information: Have replaced all components with RAID as well as disabled motherboard nic and added Intel® 82544 Gigabit Ethernet Controller card. Have upgraded to latest motherboard bios. Solutions that seem to cause the problem to go away: If you plug server box with stock nic into a 10mb port no freeze occurs. Replace nic with a standard pci (I used 3com905b) and not use a pci-x type nic all well and no freeze. I believe that it is an issue with the pci-x on motherboard. Any known issues or ideas on how to resolve? Many thanks. -- RJEnt Providing Solutions w/FreeBSD ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
