The following reply was made to PR amd64/89550; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mikhail Teterin <mi+kde@aldan.algebra.com> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, awallac3@uiuc.edu Cc: "Jan Mikkelsen" <janm@transactionware.com> Subject: Re: amd64/89550: [amd64] sym0: VTOBUS failed (6.0 Release) Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 11:29:08 -0500 Hello! The 6.2's install shamefully paniced on our amd64-system -- due to this bug. We had to borrow an Adaptec card and then switch back to the Symbios ones after applying Jan's patch-1.diff Unfortunately, that patch allowed us to collect a number of kernel dumps: http://aldan.algebra.com/~mi/bonkers-crash-0.txt - GPF http://aldan.algebra.com/~mi/bonkers-crash-1.txt - spin lock http://aldan.algebra.com/~mi/bonkers-crash-2.txt - GPF (there were more panics with "spin lock held too long", but no kernel dump took place, perhaps, because the dumpdev is attached to the sym-card too) The second patch, posted by Jan on Sep 26th seems much better so far, although the driver's use of Giant is still disappointing... Maybe, Jan's enhancement can be committed to stop the VTOBUS-panics from happening again? Thanks! -mi
