Did you try using 4BSD instead of ULE at some point? I had similar problems and that completely fixed it for me.

Installing FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 on IBM x3550 M3
Hello, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 on an IBM x3550 M3 server. Installation went smoothly, RAID controller and network cards were successfully recognised. But, after the installation, the server fails to boot from disk. There were some posts, about two years ago, in this list implying that the problem lies in UEFI but I couldn't find any clear solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

9.1 AMD64 multitasking efficiency low
Hello :-) I have found 9.1 to be far more less responsive than 9.0 and previous releases on my desktop. I have noted this slow down at 9.1-RC. I have AMD64 4GB RAM i3 CPU and when I simply run Chromium, VBox with Windows XP 64bit (1GB allocated) and VBox with Ubuntu 64bit (1GB allocated) my machine gets unresponsive - it does not even respond to ACPI shutdown, I need to kill it to get working again :-( I did not happen before. I have also noted that VBox 4.2.6 is working far more slower and makes bigger impact on the whole host performance - sometimes I need to wait some seconds to get the machine response back, this happens especially at loading stage :-( Is there any way to get back the efficiency of my FreeBSD? Maybe I need to bump some configuration to make it more efficient? :-) Any hints appreciated :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Hello Bernhard, thank you for your hints, I can try with VBox 4.1, but first I will try to get rid of the Ext2 from my system. On another machine I have switched to UFS2 and the speed increased noticably. I will let you know when I transfer all of those GB of data :-) Yes it looks like the cause of the hangup is the swap rush/deadlock but I could not verify it as the machine was unresponsive. Still both machines use 1GB of RAM per VM so still 2GB should be free. With other applications running and the OS taking 1GB itself (what I have seen on some other posts) this may happen :-( Best regards :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Right now as I backup my data (~250GB) I also notice deadlocks on data transfers. I also noticed that on another machine (6 cores, 16GB RAM) with 9.1-RELEASE AMD64.

It's just not the default. Seems like many BIOSes assume that GPT=uEFI. Clearly this is silly, but... I know Lenovo laptops have this problem and it is VERY annoying. I run FreeBSD on a GPT disk on my ThinkPad, but I have booteasy installed on an MBR disk (which contains W7) and my BIOS is set to boot from that disk.BootEasy then will boot up the GPT disk with FreeBSD. -- R.

All real amd64-capable hardware has APICs. Hello John :-) Thank you for your reply, still I need some more information to understand why this happens :-) The simple answer that I have deduced is that APIC is MANDATORY for AMD64 machines and they won't run otherwise? This is why generic AMD64 install fails when no APIC is enabled in the VBox? However I was building custom kernel on my AMD64 recently to test new driver and I found this part of Handbook [1] a bit misleading: device apic # I/O APIC The apic device enables the use of the I/O APIC for interrupt delivery. The apic device can be used in both UP and SMP kernels, but is required for SMP kernels. Add options SMP to include support for multiple processors. Note: The apic device exists only on the i386 architecture, this configuration line should not be used on other architectures. Why then APIC is not required in my AMD64 configuration file, but machine requires it..? Where should I add this configuration option - which kernel my host or the generic install and wouldn't that produce error at build time? I am a bit lost :-) Thank you :-) Tomek [1] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I have constant IO operations provided by copying ~250GB of data from/to external drive. Copying takes really lots of time and slows down the whole system noticably. 2. When any bigger application starts whole system slows down - i.e. my xorg/xfce4 keeps me waiting some seconds for action, still i can hear fluent mp3 stream behind. After application is loaded it works pretty fine until it starts operating on a data or unloads. When VBox starts the vmachine I get terrible glitches, then when everything is loaded system and vmachine works fine until it needs to load something that again slows down the whole system, then when I want to shut down the machine it gets unresponsive. 3. When the swap starts working things also gets really bad. I can work on VESA xorg driver, I can have no multimedia drivers, but the system performance is really important factor for me and working like this is really unpleasant on a pretty modern machine :-( I dont want to even think to switch to Ubuntu :-P Any hints on how to fix this situation are highly welcome :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I'm sure there were some *interesting* debugging sessions during this.

It's just not the default. Seems like many BIOSes assume that GPT=uEFI. Clearly this is silly, but... I know Lenovo laptops have this problem and it is VERY annoying. I run FreeBSD on a GPT disk on my ThinkPad, but I have booteasy installed on an MBR disk (which contains W7) and my BIOS is set to boot from that disk.BootEasy then will boot up the GPT disk with FreeBSD. Doesn't GPT start with an MBR covering the entire disk? How feasible would it be to tweak that MBR so that a boot partition was listed in it? Say, a partition holding the root filesystem could be listed in both the GPT and MBR style. Then a disk could be booted with MBR or GPT at the whim of the firmware. I agree that this BIOS=MBR/UEFI=GPT assumption is pure rubbish. I've got machines with this documented restriction and I'd love a way around it. It is feasible, it's known as a hybrid MBR. On Linux I've accomplished this using the gdisk utility, I don't know how it can be done on FreeBSD though. I had to use this ugly solution in order to install windows 8 on a GPT disk on a pc without UEFI support. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: Panic at shutdown
Yes I have added debugging option in my kernel. I have makeoptions DEBUG=-g in my config. Do I need more ?
