| I've read how several people are having problems with recent releases on these machines. I have tested the amd64 and i386 ports, 4.1, 4.2-stable, and -current. i386 seems stable. amd64, any version, eventually reboots itself. Sometimes right after fsck (hello reboot-loop), sometimes if you just ssh to the box, or start a kernel compile, etc. It usually only takes a few seconds of interaction with the box. - HOWEVER - These boxes appear to be rock-solid if you avoid the disks. I have a few that run diskless -- and they do not fall over, no matter what I throw at them. 4.2-stable and -current work fine there; the reboots disappear if my / is on nfs. If I mount an internal disk and try to use it, the machine reboots. I'd like to provide more info to the developers for debugging this but need a bit of guidance... how do you troubleshoot something that generates no panic and no log entries and the machine resets? What can I do to facilitate debugging this? dmesg available at: http://openbsd.rutgers.edu/x4100m2-dmesg.txt Thanks. |
