I am currently having a rather strange problem with two of my Geode based boards. The system functions perfectly for a time, but has intermittent network lockups where no packets are accepted, and any connected session times out. This is usually only after some ( ~20 minutes ) idle time. This state continues until the first keystroke is sent via the serial console. The instant a key is pressed on the serial console, the unit functions normally again. Normally I would just drop into DDB and start checking to see why the network could be locked up, but the problem disappears before I can get the debugger started. I have made significant changes to the system, but mostly in the boot blocks / loader and look and feel departments, along with a new init and some extra boot flags through the kernel, but the way the kernel functions is basically identicalto stock. The same software on other boards ( AMD K6, P-233, and P3-1Ghz ) does not exhibit this problem. The system does entail some IRQ muxing for IRQs 9 an 11 however, and I am starting to lean towards that as a possible problem, although all serial ports on the system have their own dedicated IRQ. The even stranger part, is that this has never manifested itself when pcic0 ( the device that shares an irq with pcn0 ) , has been used. The issue is manifesting itself now that there is no active PC-Card in that controller. The board is not a Soekris 4801, but it may be subject to similar issues. System is using i8254 as timecounter hardware due to some issues with TSC Has anyone else ran into a similar problem with a system on a Geode processor? I could also use some assistance as to what I could do to possibly track down a specific reason or specific point where the hang is coming. I have been thinking of perhaps a more significant pcn watchdog, or setting up something to can automatically invoke DDB without human intervention and without a panic. There are no vga or kbd devices in the kernel ( or on the board for that matter ) Thanks alot Mike Relevant dmesg entries from stock kernel ---------------------- FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz Timecounter "TSC" frequency 200458094 Hz CPU: Cyrix GXm (200.46-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "CyrixInstead" Id = 0x540 DIR=0x8143 Stepping=8 Revision=1 real memory = 62324736 (60864K bytes) pcn0: port 0xdc00-0xdc1f mem 0xe0000000-0xe000001f irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0 pcic0: irq 9 at device 15.0 on pci0 pcic1: irq 11 at device 15.1 on pci0 atapci0: port 0xfc00-0xfc7f at device 18.2 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ohci0: mem 0xe0002000-0xe0002fff irq 9 at device 19.0 on pci0 sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A, console sio1 at port 0x500-0x507 irq 12 on isa0 sio1: type 16550A sio2 at port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 6 on isa0 sio2: type 16550A sio3 at port 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 5 on isa0 sio3: type 16550A ad0: 61MB [490/8/32] at ata0-master PIO1 kern.timecounter.hardware: TSC -> i8254 1 From owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Aug 21 15:00:46 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-small@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A499D16A4BF for ; Thu, 21 Aug 2003 15:00:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Daffy.timing.com (mx1.timing.com [206.168.13.218]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B097C43FD7 for ; Thu, 21 Aug 2003 15:00:45 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jhein@timing.com) Received: from gromit.timing.com (gromit.timing.com [206.168.13.209]) by Daffy.timing.com (8.11.3/8.11.3) with ESMTP id h7LM0i566895; Thu, 21 Aug 2003 16:00:44 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from jhein@timing.com) Received: from gromit.timing.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by gromit.timing.com (8.12.6p2/8.12.6) with ESMTP id h7LM0goK060898; Thu, 21 Aug 2003 16:00:42 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from jhein@gromit.timing.com) Received: (from jhein@localhost) by gromit.timing.com (8.12.6p2/8.12.6/Submit) id h7LM0g6I060895; Thu, 21 Aug 2003 16:00:42 -0600 (MDT) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <16197.16650.310906.293084@gromit.timing.com> Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 16:00:42 -0600 From: John E Hein To: Neal Nelson In-Reply-To: References: X-Mailer: VM 7.03 under Emacs 21.1.1 cc: freebsd-small@freebsd.org Subject: Discless 5.1 X-BeenThere: freebsd-small@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Dedicated and Embedded Systems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 22:00:47 -0000 Neal Nelson wrote at 14:49 +0200 on Aug 21: > I've been using FreeBSD-Stable for some time on my CompactFlash based > firewall.

Here's a hack that worked okay for me (creates and populates a /var memory file sys at boot)... - on the compact flash, cp etc/rc.d/diskless etc/rc.d/diskless2 - Add 'dlv=1' after the 'dlv=`sysctl ...' line The existing diskless rc scripts in 5.x are geared toward nfs diskless clients. I have yet to look in detail at creating an rc script that is tailored for a read-only / & /usr that are local (e.g., on the compact flash), but the above got me running. > As an aside: does anyone know if it's possible to compile a 5.1 world > on -stable?
