Hi guys -
I accidently upgraded my workstation to -CURRENT over the weekend (forgot a
tag=RELENG_4 in my supfile and let it cook). It being a workstation and
containing no critical data, I decided to just stick with it and give it a go.
The machine's been running for a day and a bit now, and it appears to be quite
stable, but there's a couple of things worrying me. I'd be happy to help
analyse the problems further if someone tells me how :-)
1. When I boot my machine, it gives me the following messages:
| [...]
| vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0
| unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources (port)
| unknown: <PNP0f13> can't assign resources (irq)
| unknown: <PNP0c02> can't assign resources (port)
| unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources (port)
| unknown: <PNP0700> can't assign resources (port)
| unknown: <PNP0401> can't assign resources (port)
| unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources (port)
| Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec
| ahc0: Someone reset channel A
| [...]
All my hardware (the stuff I've tested anyway) appears to work. Any idea
which device is being unknown, or how I could find out?
2. This one's the most irritating. I use Mutt as my mailclient using
Maildirs for storage. It occasionally happens that Mutt just 'hangs'
reading a directory, and there's no way for me to kill it. Ps axl shows
it as being in state Ds or Ds+ and blocked by ufs.
3. I can't seem to restart my machine properly. This might be related to the
above, as the only reason for me to restart the machine is the fact that I
can't kill Mutt however much I try, and really would like to read my mail.
It will sync disks and say 'done', but then it just sits there doing
nothing until I flip the power-switch.
As I said, I'm happy to help analyse and debug these issues, but I don't know
where to look :-)
Thanks :-)
- Philip
