Status of SCHED_ULE?

2003-09-27 Thread Roderick van Domburg
Hello everyone, I was wondering about the status of the ULE scheduler. Is it very experimental still or is it reasonably suitable for everyday (i.e. non-mission-critical) use? Regards, Roderick ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.o

Benchmarking KSE and SMPng

2003-09-08 Thread Roderick van Domburg
Hello everyone, I've got a big bad quad Pentium III Xeon sitting here that needs reinstalling, and I would like to take the time to do some KSE and SMPng benchmarking. Question is how to go about doing it. I reckon I should basically go for four test setups: 1. FreeBSD 4-STABLE 2. FreeBSD 5-STABL

Reproducable panic with ida(4)

2003-07-08 Thread Roderick van Domburg
My apologies for asking my pet problem to be fixed, but I'll follow through with it anyhow. :-) The ida (Compaq SMART Array and derivatives found in most ProLiant servers) has been triggering a fatal trap for quite some time now. A PR 53245 was filed reporting this issue on June 11 which referenc

Support DHCP in rc.firewall by default?

2003-06-13 Thread Roderick van Domburg
Right now, rc.firewall isn't set up to support DHCP configurations although it could easily be done so. Googling comes up with many references, for example http://www.freebsddiary.org/firewall.php (section "ipfw with DHCP etc" at the bottom of the page). Are there any reasons against having rc.fir

2003-01-13 Thread Roderick van Domburg
I would like to point to a currently unresolved issue that Thomas Moestl is helping me solve on freebsd-sparc@. It isn't listed on the Open Issues page, but I'd say it's something that needs to be resolved before the release is rolled. The thread is titled "panic: trap: fast data access mmu miss"

Hello, For three days in a row now I have tried installing the most recent 5.0 snapshots on my Armada V300 from floppies. I have also tried the RC2 floppies. Unfortunately, the system freezes up solid when it configures ep0. I have a DHCP server here but manually entering the IP configuration
