(src as of 10/16 @ 16:43) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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?
