Hi, My machine just bombed when I did the following stupid command. :(){:|:};: Zsh chewed up everything on the machine... I ran it knowing I'd probably have to reboot. But, I hardly expected it to panic. Or, was that normal? Anyway, the following is some detail... Please mail me if there is more I'm ment to do. Thanks in advance :) ultraviolet@tulip:~ %> uname -a FreeBSD

As others have noted, Tor's patch appears to be a total solution to the recent instability the PAE patch introduced. So, if you're experiencing panics with a recent kernel, or are in a position to stress a machine, please cvsup and give it a test!

Some more crashes of 4.8-RELEASE. Lets see what do I have today: # ls -l /var/crash total 1576676 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2 Jul 30 13:31 bounds -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2193252 Jun 25 17:30 kernel.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2193252 Jul 4 00:08 kernel.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2193252 Jul 15 19:28 kernel.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2193252 Jul 16 17:50 kernel.3

Today my system coredumped (4.8-STABLE from Saturday), I believe it's somehow X11 related: X11 crashed first (signal 11). I was running it as root (I know I shouldn't). I didn't think about it and restarted X11. While it was starting, I had a look at the console, there was a bright white message: issignal. This shows up at X11 startup. Then the system coredumped. Below is more

Hi, I need some help to understand a backtrace. The situation is as follows: A diskless system acting as a kind of bandwithshaping firewall with both ipfw2 and ipfilter active at the same time. Ipfilter is used for port adress translation. The system panics about once every 6 hours. The network load is very low, only one Windows XP machine is connected but not actively used. I added a disk

G'day ... David Schultz, in his spare time, has been working through some of the issues I've been able to 'tweak' in the unionfs code ... as he is currently working on forward-patching it to -CURRENT right now, he can't commit the code to the -STABLE tree ... in order to allow others using unionfs to test the patch (I've been running it a few weeks now on a very heavily

Did cvsup on a machine that does just mail processing (well, a lot of spam scanning) and it crashed not too much later. This kernel does not include MFC src/sys/kern/sys_process.c revisions 1.111 and 1.112: Use kmem_alloc_nofault() rather than kmem_alloc_pageable() in procfs_rwmem(). Use vm_page_hold() in place of vm_page_wire() since the page can be freed. Don't hold extra

Dear collagues, could someone sched me a light about the following crash (I'm almost sure about hardware, temperature, etc...) Machine is fairly stable; however, there are occational crashes, similar to this one; backtraces are almost always single-step. It's 4.8-R, dmesg and gdb -k output follows ====================================================================================

My wife got the following from a system running (effectively) 4.8-RELEASE (I built/installed world just before the kernel version was updated from 4.8-RC to 4.8-RELEASE). I gather she made a few attempts to get mozilla to start and then the system panic'd. According to the crashdump, p->p_leader is NULL but according to the code, this can never happen. This is a UP Athlon XP-1800 with

Hello list, I have been fighting this problem for a few days now. I have changed memory and opened the case and monitored for heat. I have been getting the same panic about every 12 to 24 hours. I can let the system sit idle, or run it under a heavy load (cpu and disk), but the panics dont seem to be related to system load. It looks to me like a dangling pointer in softdep_update_inodeblock,

Hi stable, nice you see you again. I was one of those guys who was seeing constand panics on 24 hour boundaries but couldn't provide a backtrace due to the ar device not taking a dump. I installed a dedicated drive just to take the dump, and then didn't have a panic for a couple weeks. Now, I am back with, and I have traces to share. The first two, from 2003-09-27 and 2003-09-28

While I was tying down a supernet to the discard interface, the box crashed on me. Its a STABLE box from June 4th. I was in zebra at the time and thought I would route a /24 to ds0 instead of to the IP on ds0 (which I had done for a number of other aggregate routes). The only other "strange" thing about the box is that ds0 is loaded via kld. I will see if I can reproduce it on a

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

I am considering putting together a 'micro server' that I can easily travel with. I am seriously considering the decTOP, as at $99 (plus the cost of a 256MB SIMM) is amazingly priced. But I want to run on batteries, so trash a real hard drive. I have a couple of IDE to Compact flash adapters that support 2 flash cards. So I was considering a 4Gb (or even 2Gb) cheap real fash card

Hi, Running 9.2-PRERELEASE #19 r253313 I got the following panic Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 22; apic id = 46 fault virtual address = 0xffffff827ebca30c fault code = supervisor read data, page not present instruction pointer = 0x20:0xffffffff81983055 stack pointer = 0x28:0xffffffcf75bd60a0 frame pointer = 0x28:0xffffffcf75bd68f0

All: I cvsup'ed earlier this evening and am still able to reproduce this panic at will. Command line, panic backtrace, dmesg, ldd output, and mplayer version follow. If more information is needed, just let me know. % mplayer foo.mov [a quicktime file] [plays for awhile, and then panics] # gdb -k -s /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LICHEN/kernel.debug -e /var/crash/kernel.2 -c /var/crash/vmcore.2

After some dialog with Terry Lambert on -hackers, I've been advised to post this here. I have a 4.7-RELEASE-p10 box that is suffering regular kernel panics. The machine is a Dell 2650 running primarily as a file/print server to a number of computer labs of about 400 machines (although it also functions as a rembo image server and squid proxy). It mainly stores applications, which
