Yes, I confirm that "make buildworld" works fine for RELENG_7_1 under VMWare ESXi with 2 virtual CPUs, even with -j4 or -j8. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru ___ 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"

Is there a hypervisor which has no problems with FreeBSD? I have tried
several.
1. Under Microsoft (former Connectix) VirtualPC, FreeBSD has timer
problems ("microuptime went backwards").
2. Under VirtualBox, some processes tend to hang with the obscure
kernel mesage "sigreturn: eflags = 0x80286" (the VirtualBox
bugtracker claims the issue is fixed, but it is not).
3. Under ESXi, you know.
4. What about Xen? Is it worth trying?

How is this connected with the number of virtual CPUs?

Sorry, I cannot do that. This host is already running several Windows servers and has been thoroughly tested before production use. I have however run Memtest-86 v3.2 in the virtual machine for 2 hours and it has found no errors. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru ___ 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 tried building world under VMWare ESXi 3.5.0 Update 3 (FreeBSD as a guest OS) and the building process crashed occasionally if more than 1 CPU is allocated to the virtual machine. The failures are due to various processes like sh, sed or cc1 dupming core on signal 11 during the build. The problem seems to be SMP related because enabling only 1 virtual CPU removes the problem. Of course it is also VMWare related. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru ___ 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"
Failure to make world for RELENG_6_4
Colleagues, I have recently submitted 2 PRs misc/133264 misc/133066 regarding the failure to compile the security branch RELENG_6_4. Could you please look at them and try to reproduce the problems? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=133264 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=133066 -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru ___ 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"
