Hi,
I'm running a serial console for ddb etc. - This used to work great, but with
recent builds every time the system panic's, I get the usual details about the
panic, but it ends with:
"
current process = Idle
interrupt mask = bio <- SMP: XXX
$T0b08:079713f0;05:784b80ff;04:644b80ff;#b4
"
Any key presses on the serial console result in
"04:644b80ff;#b4$T0b08:079713f0;" being displayed...
'Ah, serial port speed I thought', erm, nope - double checking /etc/make.conf
etc. it's set to 57600... Trying different speeds while it's in this state
doesn't net anything better (I get a lot of 'xxx's at lower speeds, which are
normal symptomatic of wrong serial speed).
The boot blocks know about the serial console - the first thing the machine
does when it boots is display the usage message etc. (I've reinstalled the
boot blocks just incase, no change though).
This was all working a couple of days ago, and now it doesn't appear to be...
Can anyone else who has a similar set-up (i.e. serial console) check this?
I've tried typing blindly things like 'panic' {enter} but all to no avail...
:-(
The machines running -current as of 10/16, 16:43 - and it's running SMP...
As a final ditch attempt I tried setting everything to 9600, but again with
the same results (albeit slower :)
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Karl
