Dear All,
I just upgraded one of my boxes to FreeBSD 4.3-stable with cvsup.
Unfortunately the machine now freezes. I can ping it and it responds to
[ctrl][alt][esc] on the console ("No debugger in kernel") and I can switch
consoles [alt][F1..4], but it does not respond to other keyboard events. For
example [ctrl][alt][del] does not work.
The machine is a Compaq Proliant, dual 550MHz Xeon, with a hardware raid
SCSI box that comes up as sym0 (875).
I powercycled the box, since I cannot actually log in to see what's up. The
system boots, gives me a login prompt and subsequently freezes again.
Booting into single user more allows me to fsck and mount and look around
for a bit until is also freezes. A verbose boot gives me one message that I
worry about a bit (from memory:)
APIC_IO: MP table broken 8259->APIC entry missing
Should I worry? What SMP related stuff went into -stable in the last month
or so? Anything that might freeze my box?
I have two very similar Proliant uniprocessor boxes that appear to work
fine, but the SMP box is their NFS home dir server. This prevents me from
logging in remotely at this moment to check. It's after hours here.
The machine has been stable for a few months, and I upgrade -stable every
first week of the month. This box is the buildbox that I built all -stables
on so far, so I'm quite sure this box is a-ok.
More tomorrow, when I get access to the actual server console again. Any
hints appreciated. In particular: how do I get back to last week's -stable?
:-)
