Machine(s) not able to reboot

2005-01-16 Thread Will Saxon
Hello,

I have two HP Proliant DL360G3 servers which I recently upgraded from 5.2.1-R 
to 5.3-R. Since the upgrade, I am not able to cause the machines to shut down 
or reboot on their own. I always have to physically power them off and then 
back on. They are SMP machines and I am using ACPI. There are no other apparent 
problems although one machine did panic today and as a result I had to drive in 
and power cycle it. 

I saw some posts about this in mail archives, but they were very old. Has 
anyone else experienced this problem? What should I look for to fix this?

Sorry, have to do it manually and I forgot.

 I have this problem with some DL380's.  I have been unable to work out
 what the root cause is but I've found that the problem is triggered by
 kldload(8).  If I don't use any modules other than acpi.ko (which is
 loaded by /boot/loader) then I don't have the problem.
 

This works for me also. I had not added device vlan to my kernel
config and was also loading the sysvipc stuff, usb and linux/linprocfs. 

Thanks!

I haven't heard of this problem before, and I was wondering if today's
5.3-R errata notice (more than one IPI per APIC causes deadlock) might
have something to do with it.  Are these machines running SMP?

They are. I believe the panic could be related to the problem
announced today also, as the panicked machine occasionally sees
bursts of high load caused by multiple hungry processes.

The other email response to this issue, about this happening 
when using loaded modules, fixed the problem for me. I compiled
new kernels with linux emulation, etc. in kernel and the 
problem stopped. What a relief. I have verified that at least 
on one machine the hangup problem will continue even when only 
usb and acpi are loaded via module. This will happen by default 
on the Proliant servers since by default usbd is loaded at boot.
