Hi, all-- I've got a 1997 Dell XPS D300 which has been rock-solid over the years, which I'd just upgraded via a PowerLeap iP3/T-1400C. The system seemed stable for several days, so I cvsup'ed and updated this machine from 4.7p10 to 4.8-STABLE, only to get a panic a few hours later. Can anyone make an educated guess as to whether the panic below is related to this upgrade, or possibly more likely to be related to disk/ATA issues? I mention the latter because the panic was preceded by: May 14 07:06:44 <kern.crit> sec /kernel: ad2: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting May 14 07:06:44 <kern.crit> sec /kernel: ata1: resetting devices .. May 14 07:06:44 <kern.crit> sec /kernel: ad2: removed from configuration May 14 07:06:44 <kern.crit> sec /kernel: done ...and I'd been using the chance of having the system case open to build out another drive (ad2). 8-sec# gdb -k gdb -k /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NORMAL/kernel.debug /opt/crash/vmcore.0 GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) [ ... ] IdlePTD at phsyical address 0x00473000 initial pcb at physical

() Thanks, -Chuck PS: I've seen a touch under a factor of three improvement in wall-clock compiler performance-- "make buildkernel" went from ~1300 seconds down to 450s. Which I think is pretty darn good for a $150 dollar upgrade, or about 5% of the original system cost. The CPUID goes from: CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (300.01-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x634 Stepping = 4 Features=0x80f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,MMX> ...to: CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU 1400MHz (933.37-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x6b4 Stepping = 4 Features=0x383f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE> ...and is now running at 933 MHz due to the 66MHz FSB of the AL440LX mainboard, rather than the normal 1400MHz @ 100MHz FSB of the Tualatin [370PGA-FC Celeron2?] CPU being used. ECC memory still works, even.
