I seem to have stumbled upon a bug (?!?) in FreeBSD - or maybe its a
hardware thing - dunno.
I just finished upgrading one of my 'bsd boxes from a dx2-50 ISA to a dx2-66
VLB motherboard. Problems:
I now seem to be unable to issue a Ctrl-Alt-Del (system
just beeps at me each time I hit the combo).
'shutdown' results in a kernel panic:
panic: b_to_q to a clist with no reserved cblocks
'reboot' 'fastboot' 'halt' etc. all lock the system just as
it is about to reboot to system. I get the "Press any key to reboot"
message, and then the keyboard locks and I hafta hit the reset
switch.
The board I used to use had the Symphony chipset, AMI bios and an Intel
dx-50. This new one has a Bioteq chipset, AMI bios, and an AMD dx2-66.
MoBo functions just fine under a DOS/Windows environment (ctrl-alt-del
works).
Cards: Soundblaster 16
Buslogic BT-545 16bit busmaster SCSI
'No-name' VLB IDE controller
Trident 9400CXI VLB video 1MB
This is the only panic I have experienced. While this isnt a HUGE problem,
I really need to be able to reboot this machine remotely (have an autodial
script to start a point-to-point link w/outside world).
Has anyone had similar problems with VLB boards? Do I have a piece of sh*t
MoBo?
