Hi. This thread was started by me. In the meantime I filed a PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=140338 > I would re-test vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled=0 just to be sure that it was > correctly teh first time. I toggled vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled three times between reboots and the result is always the same. superpages enabled: reboot, superpages not enabled: server stable > I would try to see how 8.0-RC1 kernel behaves and in general try to > find last working, first non-working version. 8.0RC1, 8.0BETA4 already showed the same behaviour > It would be useful to know any (if any) non-default loader.conf and > rc.conf settings or kernel config (if not GENERIC). loader.conf untouched, rc.conf had just settings for networking active when testing. In the end I enabled some other stuff to have it ready for 8.0 RELEASE, *after* I found out that disabling superpages helped against the crashes. Ah yes. I also ran memtest86 on the server for about half a day - no problems. But read for yourself in the PR. I don't rule out that this behaviour with vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled maybe hardware related, but why then is the server running stable with RELENG_7 and memtest and server diagnostics don't report any problem? --Kai. -- I am NOMAD!
