Issue: bt0 driver crashes the kernel FreeBSD Version: 3.0-RELEASE Hardware: Buslogic BT-958 (Firmware 5.07B, BIOS 4.96I) Kernel: Default kernel that ships with 3.0-RELEASE Reproducable: Intermittently How it happened: I did a "find / -perm -4000 -print > SUID" and it caused a panic. Details: Ok, the first time this happened I didn't have savecore enabled. The first panic produced this message: panic bt0: too few mailboxes or to many ccbs syncing disks... 263 263 263 263 263 263 263 263 263 263 263 263 263 263 giving up So I rebooted, did the same find command, and it crashed again with the same panic message, but this time it produced a screenful of information along with it. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it captured before it automatically rebooted (it said it would wait for a keypress but it didn't.) I tried a few more times, and it completed the find command successfully without panicing the system. Unfortunately I didn't have savecore turned on when this happened (it's on now.) Anyway, here's a small breakdown of the hardware: 400MHz Intel PII (the real, boxed chip) Asus P2B Motherboard Mylex BT-958 PCI Quantum Atlas QM39100TD-SW 9GB UW Drive at ID 0 Sony SDT-9000 DAT Drive at ID 4 CDROM at ID 2 (2) Intel EtherExpress Pro 100B PCI NIC cards After a few days, I did get the following messages: (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf56c1b80 - timed out (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf56c1b80 - timed out bt0: No longer in timeout (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf56c2380 - timed out (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf56c2380 - timed out bt0: No longer in timeout Not quite sure what they mean. Anyway, I know this isn't much help but at least it identifies that a possible problem does exist :) Once I get a savecore, I'll post a backtrace and a location to grab my newly compiled kernel (I recompiled against -current, but it doesn't look like the bt stuff has changed.) One interesting thing is that this BT-958 came with newer firmware and bios revisions than the publicly availble flashed versions (5.07b/4.96i is what it came with.) I don't know if that is significant, but it did make me wonder... -Rob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
