4.9-PRERELEASE PAE panics Highpoint Raid module (hpt374.ko) (was: Re: Ok, are all the panics fixed now? )
The subject says it all. I preload the module, and during boot I see a panic when it attempts to initialise. 100% reproducible. The panic seems to happen in pmap_kthread... (mumble) ... I got this from a ddb 'trace' command. During normal operations I see that it has installed itself as some kind of kernel thread - don't know the precise terminology for this, but ps ax says - 0 ?? DLs 0:00.00 (swapper) 1 ?? ILs 0:00.08 /sbin/init -- 2 ?? DL 0:00.00 (usb0) 3 ?? DL 0:00.00 (usbtask) 4 ?? DL 0:04.56 (usb1) 5 ?? DL 0:00.00 (pagedaemon) 6 ?? DL 0:00.00 (vmdaemon) 7 ?? DL 0:00.00 (bufdaemon) 8 ?? DL 0:00.01 (vnlru) 9 ?? DL 0:00.19 (syncer) 10 ?? DL 0:00.00 (hpt374) Without PAE the Highpoint driver is rock solid. Cheers, Andrew.
