- ANyone have a 4M machine working reliably? I'm having tons of trouble.
- I'm also wondering if my DMAINTR/dmanext at end troubles might be
- related. I've resorted to running with _scsi_no_dma set for the moment.
- (and boy is it slooow!)
-
- Problems I'm having (these are all with 720 and the latest binaries, a
- 2Mchip/4Mfast '030 A3000 with an A2065, and a 64M swap partition [I
- figured I'd leave room for future expansion -- I don't want to run a 4M
- machine forever :->]):
-
- - Attempts to compile anything cause the machine to grind to a halt and
- eventually panic. This even happens with small compiles. The effect
- seems to be cumulative (almost like swap is getting filled up?)
-
- - attempting to bring the system up multi user (via logout from the
- single-user shell) die similarly.
-
- - swapinfo doesn't work. It exits with "swapinfo: panic: nswapmap goof".
-
- - mount -t mfs panics the machine, with either the mount_mfs from the
- latest bin-sbin, or with the latest newfs renamed to mount_mfs
- (shouldn't these be identical?)
-
- Here's a typical panic:
-
- vm_fault(d6000, 16c8000, 3, 0) -> 1
- type 8, code [mmu,,ssw]]: 401070d
- trap type 8, code = 401070d, v = 16c8008
- pid = 38, pc = 0005A044, ps = 2300, sfc = 0001, dfc = 0001
-
- [followed by register and stack dumps]
- panic: MMU fault.
-
-
-
- Would anyone out there (particularly a 3000 owner) be willing to try
- running with 4M for awhile? If you have an 8M machine, run loadbsd -k,
- otherwise you'll have to modify loadbsd to only give 4M to NetBSD).
