If you take the normal tape timeout of two hours for an I/O operation, and keeping in mind that timeout is in milliseconds, you overflow 32 bits, thus leading to a timeout with a somewhat unpredictable (but surely wrong) value. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-alpha Mon Jan 15 23:31:55 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Received: from mail.du.gtn.com (mail.du.gtn.com [194.77.9.57]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0CA4937B401 for ; Mon, 15 Jan 2001 23:31:33 -0800 (PST) Received: from mail.cicely.de (cicely.de [194.231.9.142]) by mail.du.gtn.com (8.11.0.Beta3/8.11.0.Beta3) with ESMTP id f0G7VRq04477 (using TLSv1/SSLv3 with cipher EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA (168 bits) verified OK); Tue, 16 Jan 2001 08:31:30 +0100 (MET) Received: from cicely5.cicely.de (cicely5.cicely.de [fec0:0:0:104::5]) by mail.cicely.de (8.11.0.Beta1/8.11.0.Beta1) with ESMTP id f0G7VZO09917 (using TLSv1/SSLv3 with cipher EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA (168 bits) verified NO); Tue, 16 Jan 2001 08:31:36 +0100 (CET) Received: (from ticso@localhost) by cicely5.cicely.de (8.11.1/8.11.1) id f0G7VYI12308; Tue, 16 Jan 2001 08:31:34 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from ticso) Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 08:31:34 +0100 From: Bernd Walter To: Kees Jan Koster Cc: freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: alpha/24177: Patch for fxp on Alpha Message-ID: <20010116083134.C11240@cicely5.cicely.de> References: <200101091850.f09Io4V14069@freefall.freebsd.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i In-Reply-To: <200101091850.f09Io4V14069@freefall.freebsd.org>; from dutchman@tccn.cs.kun.nl on Tue, Jan 09, 2001 at 10:50:04AM -0800 Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Tue, Jan 09, 2001 at 10:50:04AM -0800, Kees Jan Koster wrote: > The following reply was made to PR alpha/24177; it has been noted by GNATS. > > From: Kees Jan Koster > To: mjacob@feral.com > Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: alpha/24177: Patch for fxp on Alpha > Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 19:46:26 +0100 > > > > > You don't say which specific platform this is.

I've done buildworlds over NFS and had no problems at all. No iferrors, timeouts, stalls, or even "hmmm..."--type behaviour. It's just that after each installation/buildworld I go: "D'oh!" and have to hack my way back into a working box. :-) I guess that's the good thing about a certain blue/green OS. You have to reinstall it so many times that you don't forget what special tricks your particular box needs.

Actually, /stand/sysinstall is also useful as a post-install configuration utility. Simply choose 'Configure' from the main menu. For example, to configure network interfaces, choose 'Configure' -> 'Network' -> 'Interfaces' to setup a network interface. sysinstall will intelligently edit /etc/rc.conf for you. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-alpha Thu Jan 18 8: 2:47 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Received: from hermes.research.kpn.com (hermes.research.kpn.com [139.63.192.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 470EE37B402; Thu, 18 Jan 2001 08:02:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from l04.research.kpn.com (l04.research.kpn.com [139.63.192.204]) by research.kpn.com (PMDF V5.2-31 #42699) with ESMTP id <01JZ267X90XQ00044L@research.kpn.com>; Thu, 18 Jan 2001 17:02:25 +0100 Received: by l04.research.kpn.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) id ; Thu, 18 Jan 2001 17:02:23 +0100 Content-return: allowed Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 17:02:23 +0100 From: "Koster, K.J."

I think that he's using Suns Java threads library, not FreeBSD native threads - so any problems with FreeBSD threads shouldn't affect him. I still might be able to help, though, so if you've got a simple test program that demonstrates the problem, send it to us.

Try using cuaa0 or rebuild a kernel without the 0x40 bit set on the sio1 flags. Eg: device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 (note the lack of "flags 0x50") Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-alpha Sat Jan 20 17: 1:12 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Received: from duke.cs.duke.edu (duke.cs.duke.edu [152.3.140.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 98BE337B402 for ; Sat, 20 Jan 2001 17:00:55 -0800 (PST) Received: from grasshopper.cs.duke.edu (grasshopper.cs.duke.edu [152.3.145.30]) by duke.cs.duke.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA09995; Sat, 20 Jan 2001 20:00:53 -0500 (EST) Received: (from gallatin@localhost) by grasshopper.cs.duke.edu (8.11.1/8.9.1) id f0L10rW08038; Sat, 20 Jan 2001 20:00:53 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from gallatin@cs.duke.edu) From: Andrew Gallatin MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 20:00:53 -0500 (EST) To: Daniel Eischen Cc: "Koster, K.J." , "'freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org'" Subject: Re: Setjmp help for JDK In-Reply-To: References: <14953.44767.34971.235942@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Message-ID: <14954.13382.32077.142088@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Daniel Eischen writes: > ^^^^^ > This means that you're not using FreeBSD native threads, correct? > I think that he's using Suns Java threads library, not FreeBSD native > threads - so any problems with FreeBSD threads shouldn't affect him. Nice catch. I had no idea they had their own thread library just for java. Shows how little I know about java.. > I still might be able to help, though, so if you've got a simple Thanks!

(This should Unfortunately, my modem is assigned to sio2 on IO_COM3, irq 5 with flags 0x20000. I tried removing the 16550 flag but it didn't do anything. I removed all flags from all sios and tried again with no success. It seems like the problem does not lie in the communication ports configuration. I suspect something else like missing sockets (since from what I understand, fifo files are sockets). I tried another port using an external modem and I get the same result. I tried booting on the GENERIC kernel and got the same thing. Any ideas?
