similar to: Thinkpad X61s cannot boot 9.1-BETA1

I've now seen this on two different VMs on two different ESXi servers (Xeon based hosts but different hardware otherwise and at different facilities): Everything runs fine for weeks then (seemingly) suddenly/randomly the clock STOPS. In the first case I saw a jump backwards of about 15 minutes (and then a 'freeze' of the clock). The second time just 'time standing

Hi, As a next question to my building this server. I'm nogt able to get a full verbose dmesg. Probably because the kernelbuffer for it is too small. I know there used to be a kernel option to increase it. But I can not find it with the setting in NOTES or any other place I looked.... Is it still there? Thanx, --WjW

I recently put together a new machine w/ a SuperMicro H8SCM and an AMD Opteron 4228 HE... I've having an issue where the clock on the machine skips around... The wierd part is that it's very sudden when it happens... ntp sometimes brings it back, but it can't when the clock gets too far ahread (1000 seconds), ntp dies... In order to catch it happening, I ran a sleep 60 loop

This is a fairly standard and old machine with 2 COM ports. Recently (last Friday) I decided to update my RELENG_7 system and also to transition from sio to uart. This what I had before the upgrade: kernel: sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 kernel: sio0: type 16550A kernel: sio0: [FILTER] kernel: sio1: <16550A-compatible COM port> port

Hi list, I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.1-Release amd64 on a Supermicro server: SuperStorage Server 6027R-E1R12N with Intel Xeon E5-2640 CPU and 32 GB (4 x 8 ) KVR16R11D4/8HC installed Currently I have only 2 SSD Kingston drives (working in mirror) installed on that server. during booting installer from the ISO CD (amd64), the boot process fails with message: Mounting from

Hello, I am attempting to get by broadcom wifi card up and running, am sick of trying to get ndis working, and am attempting to use the bwi driver (originating in dragonflyBSD). I'm hoping others here have tried to do the same and have some pointers. I'm using 7.1-RELEASE (system/source are in-sync) and my card is a BCM94306MP. My dmesg is posted below. Bwi(4) is installed and it

I am running bsnmpd with basic snmpd.config (only community and location changed). When there is a problem with HDD and disk disapeared from ATA channel (eg.: disc physically removed) the bsnmpd always dumps core: kernel: pid 1188 (bsnmpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) I see this for a long rime on all releases of 7.x and 8.x branches (i386 and amd64). I did not tested 9.x. Is

Hi all. I prefer to build all ports in /tmp, which is actually a tmpfs filesystem. I have 8G partition. But when I tried to compile Apache OpenOffice system starts shooting processes when I was near 6G of swap.

Hello everybody Unfortunately my problem still doesn't have any solution. But I have an interesting observation. The gateway freezes very quickly, if torrent client programs are running on workstations. I assume the cause of the problem consists in many number of TCP/IP connections that torrent client establishes. Any ideas? Maybe I can tune somehow a TCP/IP via kernel, sysctl or pf settings?

After some poking into psm.c code I've got some results. First, for the archives, debug.psm.loglevel tunable is much more useful than a verbose boot for debugging PS/2 mouse issues. A good value is 2. Second, I fiddled with various probe methods to force them to "recognize" my mouse (by loosening their checks) and found out that the mouse works perfectly if it is treated as

I'm trying to make devd run an stty command whenever a USB serial device is attached. Unfortunately, $device-name is ucom[0-9] and the device names are /dev/cuaU[0-9] - how do I get the correct name in the device action? I haven't found a way to extract the number by itself, so I'm stuck with specifying a separate rule for each number, like so: attach 100 { device-name

Hello, Since FreeBSD 9.1 I have strange problems with the distribution. Some servers are rebooting without any kernel panic, instanly. First i thought it's a problem with my KVM system, but one of my FreeBSD under a Dell R210 have the same problem. The servers concerned are now: - Monitoring server - LDAP test server - Some other servers, randomly (not in production). First i thought it's

when booting stable/9 under a debug kernel with WITNESS enabled and verbose I get the following panic..

Hi All, I have what I think is a ZFS related bug. Unfortunately my simplest test case is a bit cumbersome and I haven't definitively proven that the problem is ZFS related. I'm hoping for some feedback on how to move forward. Quick background: I rip my CD's using grip and produce flac files. I tag the music using Musicbrainz' Picard and transcode it to mp3's within Picard

I've just realized that I see in releng/7 something that I did not see in releng/6 - even if I use a file with custom rules in firewall_type I still get default loopback rules installed. I think that this is not correct, I am using custom rules exactly because I want to control *everything* (e.g. all deny rules come with log logamount xxx). -- Andriy Gapon

I wouldn't report this if not for one coincidence (which is described below). I have too little facts, so this is more of a mystery problem tale than a real problem report. There are two systems: 1. old, slow, i386, UP, 7-STABLE 2. new, fast, amd64, MP, 6.3-RELEASE Systems are located at different physical locations. What is common between them: 1. they both have the same backup strategy
