Well, my alpha deadlocked again during a -j 4 buildworld today. Unfortunately, my alpha began its life as a NT workstation (PWS 500a) so it's halt/reset button functions as a reset button, i.e. you punch it and the machine resets, rather than getting a useful SRM prompt at which to examine regs, etc. Anyways, I decided to pull the lid off and attempt to locate the jumper to change the behavior of the button to be more useful (i.e. to halt). After failing to locate it by any obvious means, I went to Compaq's disappointing web site to attempt to find docco on how to do this but was unsuccessful. If anyone has any idea on how to get these things to halt and not reboot, I would really appreciate it. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
