The problem seems to be the interrupt rate is high (70-80% of CPU) for CD/DVD drive(r). I have tried three different CD/DVD drives under three different hardware platform with FreeBSD 4.11-R/6.1-R via growisofs, cdrecord, and burncd programs, and all combinations had the similar results. Non of them can go beyond the 1.6 MB/s writing speed. The reading speed is also far away from the manufactory specification due to high interrupt rate. Is any way to reduce the interrupt rate in order to increase the CD/DVD I/O performance? or is anything else to tune the performance? I doubt this is the hardware issue, but if this is possible, please point it out.

"atacontrol mode acd0 WDMA2" makes acd0 into correct mode. Under 4.11-R, things are complicated. hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 makes boot process configure acd0 to UDMA2, but Tx (I/O) rate limits at 1.6 MB/s. atacontrol will not help. hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 makes boot process configure acd0 to PIO4, and initial Tx rate is 1.6 MB/s. However, use atacontrol to change mode to WDMA2, or UDMA2, or back to PIO4, Tx rate can go up for a single I/O session or more , but not stable. In random time, the Tx rate will drop back to 1.6 MB/s. Since 6.1-R works, I would not think we need to worry about 4.11-R for this issue.

See: http://www.avermedia.com/cgi-bin/support_driverbympdpro.asp?category=TV%20Cardbus&category2=Hybrid&proname=17&modelno=E506R# The technical support told me that they don't plan to release any *BSD drivers. Google told me that there is no possibility to install Linux drivers on FreeBSD. Searching the FreeBSD maillists gave me only thing is that AverTV Hybrid+FM Cardbus uses Xceive XC3018 Silicon Tuner (http://www.xceive.com ) and that chip is not supported from the saa.ko My question is: Is it possible to porting those Linux drivers to FreeBSD? p.s.

So, we have a little freebsd 4.8-p27 box running in the office (samba, apache, qmail, proftpd, sshd). Machine is fine enough for the task, P4 2.4, 512 RAM, 120 GB HDD. First time the problems started 2-3 months ago. Machine was restarting all the time, sometimes 2-3 times a day. The thing is that it did it so fast nobody in the office actually noticed anything in the office, which in itself is quite weird. Because the weather was quite hot then I thought one reason could be overheating. Not so, because a couple of days ago the same thing started again. Runs fine for a dew days, then restarts 3 times in a row. The logs don't say anything besides the fact that you see the machine has restarted. The server has run for a long time without any problems. I've tested the memory with memtest86. Next thing I'm going to try is changing the power supply. Has anybody experienced something like this with FreeBSD? Problems just appearing out of thin air and then disappearing for a good time and so on. I'd like to know what the hell is going on. And oh yes, last week I had some weird network problems as well. Couple of computers in the office couldn't send mail at all, just kept timing out. I couldn't connect to the server via ssh, because it timed out (password prompt didn't appear). I had to connect to an outside freebsd server and then to the server in the office. At the same time samba and ftp connections were working fine. Tried changing the switch, that didn't help either. And then, just as I was about to spray it with gasoline and set it on fire, the problems all went away and everything was working again. Could those network issues be related to the troubles I'm facing now? I'm not subscribed to the list, so if anybody can help me out, please reply to me at joel@starman.ee. Thank you very much!

I had my share of runs with all kind of crazy reboots, halts, you name it. Why are you running 4.8? If I were you, I would first upgrade and then do a burn in (72hours) A flaky hardware server would usually fail the burn-in, if done using the right tools. Do little digging up on burn-ins to find what you need.

What did you do, boot into the 2nd stage boot-loader and then set the console to serial console or just manual copy/paste transcribe? I have the unfortunate situation of having lots of these machines remotely installed and deployed with DRAC setup with which I planned to do the remote install of FBSD, but this bug is a serious show stopper. Moreover, the whole ActiveX client dependency is really absurd. Does anyone have the client working in FreeBSD/Linux/POSIX? Firefox anything even? I could deal with Java for remote console on DRAC4. With DRAC4's latest firmware, they had even fixed the really annoying "I'm going to stop accepting user input and insert a string of 128 of the last character in the buffer" bug.

My home router is an old IBM Thinkpad 600 notebook, with two 3Com Megahertz 589E PCMCIA ethernet cards - 1 linking to the Internet, and 1 to an in-home 192.168.0/24 LAN. I believe this to be reliable, battle-tested hardware, and everything, i.e., routing, NAT, DHCP, IPFW, etc., had been running smoothly for months on FreeBSD-5.4R A week ago I did a fresh install of FreeBSD-6.1R and the problem with the network cards appeared. Both PCMCIA cards are detected as ep0 and ep1 upon bootup, and can be assigned their static IP addresses. However, the networking on one of them is _extremely_ slow. Pinging a host at the 'other-end' of the ethernet link results in a cycle of 10 packet coming in simultaneously in a burst, a pause for 10 seconds, followed by the next 10 packets simultaneously, a further pause of 10 seconds, etc., etc. I've determined that the problem is slot-dependent, as either card in this slot exhibits this bursty/pause problem. However, and this is the 'bizarre' bit, booting up with a FreeSBIE CD (running FreeBSD-5.3R) on the same hardware results in no problems with the networking - on _both_ PCMCIA slots. Hence, the problem seems to be that a PCMCIA network card works with 5.XR but not 6.1R. One difference I have noticed between the two RELEASEs is the card on the 'dodgy' slot is detected as (from dmesg): ep1: <3Com Megahertz 589E> at port 0x110-0x11f irq 9 function 0 config 1 on pccard1 when booted up with 6.1R, but 'irq 10' (instead of 9) when booted up with 5.3R. I'm now suspecting that perhaps the hardware for the good and bad scenarios may not be 100% identical as different IRQs are assigned with the different releases to the network card on the 'dodgy' slot. 'vmstat -i' doesn't show any IRQ collisions, but I'm suspecting that perhaps there's some problem with the PC's IRQ 9 (?). What I've been trying to do in the last 24-hrs is to get a different IRQ (i.e., not 9) assigned to the card in the 'dodgy' slot to test this hypothesis out, but haven't been able to figure out how PCMCIA IRQ-assignments are done in 6.1R. In the good old (pre-6.1R) days, IRQ assignments could be assigned at the start of /etc/pccard.conf, but pccard.conf doesn't seem to do much with 6.1R. Has anyone observed this behaviour before? Does the diagnosis sound remotely plausible? If so, does anyone know how I can get a different IRQ assigned to a PCMCIA card in a specific slot? Alternatively, any other ideas/tips/suggestions/words of comfort would be also greatly appreciated :-) Regards, vick From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Aug 30 07:31:17 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 897F416A4E1 for ; Wed, 30 Aug 2006 07:31:17 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from peterjeremy@optushome.com.au) Received: from mail05.syd.optusnet.com.au (mail05.syd.optusnet.com.au [211.29.132.186]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C819B43D64 for ; Wed, 30 Aug 2006 07:31:05 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from peterjeremy@optushome.com.au) Received: from turion.vk2pj.dyndns.org (c220-239-19-236.belrs4.nsw.optusnet.com.au [220.239.19.236]) by mail05.syd.optusnet.com.au (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id k7U7V0mU008903 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA bits=168 verify=NO); Wed, 30 Aug 2006 17:31:02 +1000 Received: from turion.vk2pj.dyndns.org (localhost.vk2pj.dyndns.org [127.0.0.1]) by turion.vk2pj.dyndns.org (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id k7U7V0rk000872; Wed, 30 Aug 2006 17:31:00 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from peter@turion.vk2pj.dyndns.org) Received: (from peter@localhost) by turion.vk2pj.dyndns.org (8.13.6/8.13.6/Submit) id k7U7V0v4000871; Wed, 30 Aug 2006 17:31:00 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from peter) Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 17:31:00 +1000 From: Peter Jeremy To: "Joel V."

Unless something has changed (eg more clients or clients doing something different), this really sounds like a hardware problem. Given that you are seeing odd problems with other infrastructure, it may even be a problem of dirty power. I'd go thru the box and try re-seating everything. Can you set up a serial console? That might let you capture some information as the system dies. --=20 Peter Jeremy --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFE9T60/opHv/APuIcRAtjcAJ99EsMYgbcwW6WUWLYUNE0eIJqGEgCffPio Crhp2KAyrsBPPzva4nX9FJw= =HiCb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s-- From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Aug 30 08:48:04 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AE0B116A4DE for ; Wed, 30 Aug 2006 08:48:04 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from sam@fqdn.net) Received: from host.fqdn.net (host.fqdn.net [194.242.157.2]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 58EE243D45 for ; Wed, 30 Aug 2006 08:48:03 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from sam@fqdn.net) Received: by host.fqdn.net (Postfix, from userid 1003) id D01E3246; Wed, 30 Aug 2006 09:48:02 +0100 (BST) Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 09:48:02 +0100 From: Sam Eaton To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20060830084802.GC60234@host.fqdn.net> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org References: <200608090832.52859.jhb@freebsd.org> <20060830004205.P60283@arbitor.digitalfreaks.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20060830004205.P60283@arbitor.digitalfreaks.org> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i Subject: Re: ukbd0 from dell DRAC5 remote access controller X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 08:48:04 -0000 On Wed, Aug 30, 2006 at 12:43:03AM -0400, Brian A.

I have a machine with working ssh, so I can get onto the machine for debug (plus it works fine with a local USB keyboard, so I can do stuff on the console). I've tried disabling kbdmux and booting with just the DRAC keyboard emulation attached - the keyboard works during boot, and is detected during kernel startup, and is selected as ukbd0, which kbdcontrol confirms is the console keyboard. However it doesn't work, no keystrokes are accepted. So it's not a kbdmux issue. Sam. -- "Fortified with Essential Bitterness and Sarcasm" Matt Groening, "Binky's Guide to Love".

Urgh, I feel your pain. The remote virtual CD stuff works nicely, and I can boot other OSes fine that way, but the keyboard is toast once freebsd boots. > Moreover, the whole ActiveX client dependency is really absurd.

Does anybody use this printer with FreeBSD-6.1 and CUPS? On one forum, I found people complaining about "USB port busy" regarding to this model, but they didn't specify clearly the system they use. Your opinion about the printer is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Andriy
