I haven't had any Hard Locks since I upgraded the BIOS on my BP6 from LP to RU and cvsup/buildworld/installworld again. At the moment I'm thinking that my system is stable again, but won't feel comfortable with that until I do some more stress testing. I've gotten a panic, but I think its unrelated. ( that's made this harder, multiple issues causing problems ) So if people are still having their BP6 do Hard Locks I would suggest they make sure they're running the RU version of the BIOS and the latest version of -current. Thanks for the tip however. If I continue to have Hard Locks I'll try slowing down the IDE drives on the system. --On Wednesday, November 20, 2002 1:10 AM +0100 Thierry Herbelot=20 <thierry@herbelot.com> wrote: > Le Tuesday 19 November 2002 22:35, Nate Lawson a =E9crit : >> I have a couple BP6's running -stable and was having hard lock >> problems under heavy IO until I dropped back to ATA33 on the drives >> (I moved them to the onboard Intel controller instead of the >> HPT366). sos@ informed me that the HPT366 has a buggy DMA >> controller and that ATA66 on them wouldn't work.
