 We are particularly interested in having people test this release
 candidate on a heavily loaded system, or on large memory machines, so
 that the stability of the PAE merge can be tested.

Well, I did an FTP install (rather than ISO) from ftp7.de.freebsd.org
and it went mostly smooth, two issues:

1. ports collection is claimed to not be found (what the heck...) but
   some INDEX file is available, so pkg_add works.

2. at some point in time, usually around Remaking all devices, the
   machine throws a handful of segfaults and boom. I'm unsure whether
   this might be the hardware, it's an old Cyrix MII/233 (PR300) Super7
   CPU in a VIA MVP3 board (PCChips M577), 32 MB PC66 + 64 MB PC100 RAM
   (66 MHz FSB), nothing server-class, but it seems to be fine even
   under load with SuSE Linux 8.1 or 8.2 (dual-boot).

 diff of them seems like normal, i found no intresting differences
 i have no idea what i do next, i want to upgrade my system, cause there are
 security updates (thats not meaning i have old sshd bind and others, they
 are installed via ports)
 i dont think that developers removed that from source, but, thats weird,
 very weird

It looks like in one case your disks were found and in the other they were
not. I would immediately suspect cabling and termination issues.  Check
your cables and termination settings and modules. Replace as necessary.

 Hi, I was under the impression a successful make world was updating include
 files in /usr/include/netinet too.

 When I have a good make world, the files in /usr/include have new time stamps,
 but the ones in netinet have not!

Are you sure the files are different?

You can try doing 'make includes' from /usr/src/ to see if it fixes your
compile issues. This forcibly reinstalls the header files.

Also check that your checkout is complete.


 Am I missing something here? My current stable doesn't compille properly it
 fails in kdump on a missing ioctlcmd_t typedef.

 Anyone else seeing this?

I don't think I have any equipment this old to test with.  I wouldn't be
suprised about this, particuarly if you are using PIO on your drive; the
high interrupt rate could be delaying sio interrupts too long.

If your hardware supports it, you can try setting the loader tunable
hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 and rebooting and seeing if it picks up the drive at a
DMA setting.

 Any ideas?

Your disk device?  If you have an IDE disk you need the ata* devices.

latest cvsup to stable kernel build fall down, go boom

GENERIC kernel build, cvsup as of 21:37 October 1 2003:

 I am having a problem with a new server running FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE.

 Once every two days or so, it reboots itself.. there is no exact time of
 the day it reboots..

Temperature?

 It rebooted itself at 4:25 PM EDT on 9/25, and 3:05 AM EDT on 9/29 (today).

Maintenance runs crank up then -- daily at 0300 and security at 0415.  I
suspect you have the problem that rwatson pointed out earlier with the
periodic scripts loading the system enough to tickle some flakey hardware.

Try running the daily or weekly periodic scripts manually and see if that
triggers it. If it does it might help you to isolate the issue since it
will be easy to reproduce.

This tends to imply hardware issues.  What kind of storage?

I think you probably screwed up your cvsup file and grabbed -current
instead.  That's the correct behavior for a -CURRENT config(8).

Back out rev 1.187.2.22 of src/sys/vm/vm_map.c. I suspect silby is getting
