Yet another freebsd panic.

Markand · May 8, 2010

Hi,

I never saw a FreeBSD without any panic, I love it but it's so painful when there is a panic everytime. The last time it was a friend and now I just can't know why there is one each time he boots.

Did you check for system stability using Memtest86+? Might be a useful first step.

DutchDaemon · May 8, 2010

Also check the disk for errors. If swapper fails, it may fail to initialise its allotted disk area.

Markand · May 9, 2010

Okay I will do the memtest, and for the disk I will try to check errors with smartmontools and see,

Thanks.

smartctl -a /dev/adX

Then look for two things:

- UDMA CRC Error count (if non-zero, this indicates cabling errors; replace SATA cable)
- Current Pending Sector (if non-zero, you have unmapped bad sectors which cause read errors; fix ASAP!)
- Reallocated Sector Count (number of bad sectors that are fixed/mapped and no longer causes problems)

Hi

We did a memtest (success no error), and a smartctl test :

Run the bootable memtest86, not the /usr/ports/sysutils/memtest.
Also check your motherboard.

Markand · May 10, 2010

Yes he did a memtest from a ubuntu live cd. About the mother board, how I can check it?

unusual smell, blown up capacitors, any visible defect,:\
also it might be a good idea to run the official memtest86 test and not the one from ubuntu, just to make sure. Also leave for as long as it needs (few hours).

Thanks for this information. Didn't know about this, great too know!
