The following reply was made to PR kern/120127; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Dylan Cochran" <a134qaed@gmail.com> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, "Jeremy Chadwick" <koitsu@FreeBSD.org> Cc: Subject: Re: kern/120127: [pxe] Loading of gzip'd mfsroot from pxeboot(8) causes loader reload/reset Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 18:20:10 -0500 Is this the error you are referring to? http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/865/blajsa7.png I am able to reproduce it deterministically, it seems to be a loader memory management issue; too many objects, compressed or uncompressed, and the bug is triggered, kept below a roughly 32MB compressed data and uncompressed data threshold, it does not trigger. Reproduced with both gzip and bzip2 (bzip2 makes it quicker to trigger due to the algorithms memory requirements).home | help
