This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_01C6_01C5679D.7187D1A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have disabled usb via rc.conf usbd_enable="NO" But in the new custom kernel I have commented out all of the usb devices and firewire. However the machine managed to stay up for 22 hours without any problems. But I decided to put it underload, through multiple make de/install's of mysql, apache, php, net-snmp to get the load of the machine high but after 1 hour of load, the machine crashed once again. Now I have formatted one of the 2850's and put FreeBSD 5.4R (amd64) I still have disabled usb and nonessential parts of the kernel and placed the machine under heavy load, so far so good. DC -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of David Barnett Sent: 02 June 2005 17:52 To: Gary Schrock Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Re: DELL PowerEdge 2850 and FreeBSD 5.4 Gary, I'm fighting the same battle on two new 2850's and two 1850's; "Interrupt storm detected on "irq18:uhci2"; throttling interrupt source". These machines have 2GB of ram and I using the i386 5.4Rel. version. This happens right after the reboot at the end of an install from CD. I've chosen to install "all", and bring up the ethernet interface. When I get the message, the machine is unresponsive to keyboard input or pings; basically frozen. I also tried 5.3 Rel. with the same results. From searching the lists I concluded disabling USB might be worth trying, so I did that in the BIOS. I'm still getting the same message and freeze. How are you disabling USB? It seems that has worked for you. One tidbit, they have the DRAC 4/I remote access controller cards in them, but I have no reason to believe they're involved at this point. Oh, and firmware is current throughout. Thanks for any hints.
