I'll one up that. 5.3-BETA1 -and- 5.3-BETA3 produce sig10 and sig11 on
90% of world, including sendmail, sshd, and more on the 4-way I'm
working on here. I could go back to the 5.3-BETA kernels, but they've
both done the ffs_alloc free panic that was discussed recently on this
box when buildworld's been attempted, and ata from RELENG_5 branch of
about two hours ago just hardlocks the box. That's wonderful. Especially
since it has an LSI Ultra320-0 and I need ata so that we can debug the
amr(4) panics at boot, which kept the box unusable.
When the amr panics started making themselves known, they've been
combined with a broken world, so basically 5.3-BETA's been completely
unusable period. Only way it's run is with ACPI turned off, which means
I've got one of four CPUs going. ACPI just hardlocks. (Didn't do that on
5.2.1-RELEASE.) If I'm lucky I can get ata to sometimes boot the 20G IDE
I threw on the box just so I can try and debug amr(4). I say sometimes
because 9 in 10 times, it just hardlocks the box. Including off RELENG_5
from about 2 hours ago.
Talk about exposing showstoppers. I'd share the ffs panics, but I'd need
panics that didn't get halfway through printing without hardlocking the
box, or working ata so I could boot the box. 5.2.1-RELEASE just
hardlocks at init. So kindly don't bother me with demands for more
detailed information on the panics and hardlocks. If I had more
information, it'd be directly in the hands of people who need it. The
ffs panics are the same ones I saw mentioned before, XfastFree and what
have you.
Yeah. I'm justifiably grumpy. Been fighting this box since last week,
and have yet to get anything on it that actually works, save Win2k3
beta. (Linux doesn't count as working. Don't ask.)
