References: <199807140440.WAA01685@narnia.plutotech.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a partition solely for the source and ports tree with softupdates enabled (and also /usr since things were going smoothly lately) but while trying to build the XFree86 port on a kernel and system from approx. midnight, it has been hanging the system.I noticed because ther compile stopped doing anything, it just sat there, just like my telnets into the machine. I could switch consoles, and I switched to a console that had been running top, and it was running happily, but I noticed several Zombies as shown by the second line of top. I use top -I so I didnt see what they were, but i assume they were the proccesses that tried to run past the 'hang'. ctrl-alt-del did not work, I had to cold boot the machine. This has happened twice tonight. I have a dpt 2144UW HBA, p233mmx, and was using links to the latest ffs_softdep.c and softdep.h. Is there something useful I could get out of DDB when this happens? I could probably reproduce it. Anything else I could try to help analyze whats wrong? Any more machine-specific info needed?
