I'll report my findings. Well, it took a bit longer than I expected to find the time to test Maxim's patch properly. Unfortunately, the short of it is that it did NOT solve my problem. Instead of the kernel panicing after device detection, it now hangs DURING device detection. I have posted transcripts of my serial console sessions with normal AND verbose boots AND ps AND trace outputs for the patched and non-patched kernels. Hopefully an ATA guru like sos_at_ can take a look and give me some direction. Here's the kernel config I used for each of these debug kernels: http://www.wingnet.net/~jesse/FreeBSD/TREVARTHAN-DEBUG I completely deleted the kernel build directory before each kernel was config'd, built, and installed. And here's the patch that the boot.patched.txt kernels were built with: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-February/021500.html Transcripts: ======================================= normal boot with 5.2.1rc2 debug kernel: http://www.wingnet.net/~jesse/FreeBSD/20040221-freebsd-5.2.1rc2-debug-normal-boot.txt verbose boot with 5.2.1rc2 debug kernel: http://www.wingnet.net/~jesse/FreeBSD/20040221-freebsd-5.2.1rc2-debug-verbose-boot.txt normal boot with 5.2.1rc2 debug kernel WITH Maxim's patch: http://www.wingnet.net/~jesse/FreeBSD/20040221-freebsd-5.2.1rc2-debug-normal-boot.patched.txt verbose boot with 5.2.1rc2 debug kernel WITH Maxim's patch: http://www.wingnet.net/~jesse/FreeBSD/20040221-freebsd-5.2.1rc2-debug-verbose-boot.patched.txt And to recap, the stock 5.2.1rc2 kernel boots just fine. However, it core dumps on random ocassions, and I was hoping to get a gdb backtrace from a debug kernel core. But my debug kernel won't boot! The major differences I see from GENERIC to my debug kernel are that I don't include 'options SMP' or 'options apic' in my debug kernel and my debug kernel has WATCHDOG and all of the other debug options turned on. I can post a diff if anyone is interested. Thanks! -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
