Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm quite desperate for help on this machine now : It's a : Pentium 90 Gigabyte Triton motherboard 32MB RAM 4GB Seagate Hawk 1GB IBM SCSI 1GB Quantum SCSI 1.2GB Maxtor EIDE NCR SCSI Controller 256k Trident ISA video card ISA NE2000 card. This machine will either randomly reboot or lock up. When it locks I can switch vty's but not login (no password comes up), I can open some ports that inetd isn't control of, but I can't telnet in or anything. I've replaced : CPU, Motherboard twice, Memory twice. Some of the drives have been added during the time that's I've had problems. All motherboards have been Triton based (inc. ASUSTek). I'm beginning to wonder if it's the NE2000 because 2 other FreeBSD machines I had also locked up like this sometimes, and both had NE2000's. However, I've since used them less (lower loads) and they're working fine. This has happened in -release, -960303-SNAP and now in -stable. I have patched the system correctly. Could anyone please suggest what I could do to fix this. Here is my dmesg : FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE #1: Thu Mar 14 21:32:50 1996 root@cafu.fl.net.au:/usr/src/stable/sys/compile/IMP CPU: 90-MHz Pentium 735\\90 (Pentium-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x524 Stepping=4 Features=0x1bf real memory = 33554432 (32768K bytes) avail memory = 30715904 (29996K bytes) Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 rev 2 on pci0:0 chip1 rev 2 on pci0:7 ncr0 rev 2 int a irq 10 on pci0:10 ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ncr0:0:0): "QUANTUM FIREBALL1080S 1Q08" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ncr0:0:0): Direct-Access sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 1042MB (2134305 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:1:0): "SEAGATE ST15230N 0298" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ncr0:1:0): Direct-Access sd1(ncr0:1:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 4095MB (8386733 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:2:0): "IBM DPES-31080 S31Q" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd2(ncr0:2:0): Direct-Access sd2(ncr0:2:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 1034MB (2118144 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:4:0): "WANGTEK 6130-HS 4W17" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ncr0:4:0): Sequential-Access st0(ncr0:4:0): 275ns (4 Mb/sec) offset 8. density code 0x13, 1024-byte blocks, write-enabled Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> ed0 not found at 0x280 ed1 at 0x300-0x31f irq 5 on isa ed1: address 00:00:01:06:49:18, type NE2000 (16 bit) sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A sio2 not found at 0x3e8 sio3 not found at 0x2e8 lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface lpt1 not found at 0xffffffff lpt2 not found at 0xffffffff fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: NEC 72065B fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 1204MB (2467584 sectors), 2448 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S scd0 not found at 0x230 npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface changing root device to sd0a WARNING: / was not properly dismounted.
