next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have an Intel master server running 4.6.2p2. When I startup a diskless
alpha using the 4.5p20-RELEASE kernel and lower with BOOTP enabled it boots
with no problems. I have tested with 4.0, 4.1 and now 4.5p20. I have tried
to use 4.6.1p1 and now 4.6.2p2 and it only works about 50% of the time. I
get the kernel trap included below. I have tried using different master
servers, different alphas (same hardware specs), different switches and
cables, and also different kernel options in my config (included below) all
with the same results. I also have an Intel diskless cluster environment
that works with no problem using 4.6.2p2. After testing I narrowed the
problem down to a change that was made between 4.5 and 4.6 with
src/sys/netinet/in.c. I have included a patch below of how to revert that
section of code to what I have found in 4.5p20, this fixes my problem and
allows my alphas to boot 100% of the time, but I don't believe this fix is
the way to go for future development of FreeBSD. I hope this is enough
information. If there is any further testing that I can do to help please
let me know.
