Description

I've got a buddy @ Intel, and I've grabbed some platforms /
motherboards from him to test Dragonfly hardware compatilibilty, the
results shocked me - only one motherboard was compatible with
DragonFly, another 8 just hang kernel when I turn SMP on, /me tired
with ACPICA_IO turned on and turned off - nothing changes. The only
one motherboard, which works with DragonyFLY is rather old ASUS
workstation model, based on i975 chipset, another 8 motherboards was
from Intel,
5 motherboards from S5000 series, S3210SHLX, D975XBX2 and one SR1500
Intel platform. CPU's used in test - Core Quad Q6600 for LGA775
platform, Intel Xeon 5310 for LGA771 platform. All motherboards was
with latest bios firmware.
The hang I've noticed is extremely tricky to debug, I'm trying to find
problem for 4 days already, but can't find solution. Hang usually
occurs (as I could see visually) after detecting all devices, and
before (or maybe slightly after) calling /sbin/init, at least before
filesystems is mounted. I've talked with sephe about this issue, first
we thought it was bug of nata driver, but I've redone test with
Symbiosis SCSI controller, hang occurs absolutely at same place. All
my attempts at remote kgdb sessions failed, so the only meaningful
output from db> I'm sending to you. The problem with kgdb was
following:
kgdb -r /dev/cuaa0 kernel
Initiating remote session (or smthing like it)
Reply contains invalid hex digit 45
Session ended.
Feel free to contact me, so I can assist you in fixing that awful
issue. I should note, that DragonFly works nicely on all those systems
w/o SMP, and works only on one system with SMP.

It kinda sounds like an interrupt routing issue.  Interrupts are a
nightmare on the intel architecture and we pretty much depend on the
BIOS to do the routing as our ACPI support doesn't do it. Usually
one can get a SMP kernel working either with the APIC_IO option or
without the APIC_IO kernel compile option... one of the two combinations
usually works.
My guess is that the failure is occuring when the kernel enables
interrupts, which usually occurs after the initial bus and device
scan. I can only guess, though.
If you can boot it with a UP kernel it might be possible to compare
the dmesg output from the UP boot with the dmesg output from a SMP
boot.

This rings a bell.  conifhk == the system is waiting on the autoconf
to finish initializing the mass storage devices.
If you happen to have a DVD drive connected, disconnect it.  Try
putting a CD drive in there instead. In particular, we've had
reports of SATA DVD and SATA CD drives possibly locking up the NATA
driver during boot.

Matt, box haven't got any CD/DVD drives at all. Just SCSI HDD and nothing more,
SATA and USB controllers disabled in BIOS and removed in my kernel config also.

Hmm. I'd try reversing it.  Maybe the issue is the SCSI driver.  Try
disabling the SCSI and connecting a disk via SATA.
Also try booting with a month-old snapshot CD and see if that recognizes
the SCSI. Another possibility (though not very likely) is that my CAM
fixes blew up the SCSI controller.
How'd you load DragonFly up in the first place without a CD drive?

Matt, you understood me wrong probably - I've tried to say, that issue with hang
probably not because of storage drivers, I've checked nata, sym, usual ata
drivers. With any of them kernel hang still present.

Good day.
As I have grabbed russiane39's machine at my placement, I have performed some
diagnostics.

First of all, HDD connected via SATA in IDE mode ('ad' device) in this box.

Second, I have compiled the latest kernel (cvsuped just some hours ago) with SMP
and still receive the same problem, but occasionally I get lock-up in the
completely different place (before lo0 initialization), sadly just once...

Third thing I should notice is that after lock-up and pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del I
could see some shutdown actions performed by init process:
"
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inetd not running? (check /var/run/inetd.pid).
Shutting down daemon processes:.
cron not running? (check /var/run/cron.pid).
Shutting down local daemons:.
.
" (and continuation of the lock-up).

These are booting logs.
1. Odd one lock-up: http://pastebin.ca/1077610
2. Common lock-up (with 'ps' and 'trace'): http://pastebin.ca/1077611
3. Working non-SMP kernel: http://pastebin.ca/1077609

Now I am trying to get functions call backtrace using the kgdb through the
serial port, but I couldn't fight up the problem with connection speed (noticed
early by russiane39). I've found a possible solution in one manual which
recommended typing 'set baudrate 9600' but didn't specify where to type this
line. I've tried doing so in system shell (setting environment variable) and in
the gdb shell (it doesn't know such command at all) but with no results...

Sephe suggested a patch for nata, which probably could solve that problem, but
it is not working.
He tried to fight with that issue: intr 14 at 40001/40000 hz, livelocked limit
engaged!

The boot logs are very useful.  It looks like the network is the problem.
It's probably dying trying to configure em1, after lo0. It is getting an
interrupt storm on IRQ 14, which no device is attached to. I'm guessing
that the BIOS is lying about EM1 being on IRQ 11 and it is actually on
IRQ 14.
Try building a SMP kernel without options APIC_IO.
If that doesn't work try configuring EM1 for polling operation only.
Get it configured and working in a polling-only mode with a UP kernel,
then try booting a SMP kernel and see if that works.
It may also be possible to get through the SMP boot sequence by setting
kern.emergency_intr_enable=1 in /boot/loader.conf, but this would purely
be a stopgap.

Thanks Matt, will try.
By the way, you are probably right about 'em1' as I have noticed it doesn't work
(can't assign an address to it or whatever) but didn't make sense to it...

Matt, I have rebuilt kernel without IO_APIC and it works.
So I think I will try porting FreeBSD APIC there...

The issue here is that for IO_APIC to work, we really need the
acpica/ACPI stuff from FreeBSD. A complete, fresh porting of that
entire subsystem would be needed as well as a major revamping of the
interrupt assignment infrastructure.
It's a very large job, one of two big-ticket items we really need to
get into DragonFly (the other being AMD64 support, which is being
worked on as a SOC project).
If you want to try your hand and getting that mess working, it would
be great! I won't hold you to it, though, it's a massive job.
I'm happy you got it working with IO_APIC commented out.  That's what
most of us have had to do. It's a huge band-aid.

hi folks:
trid the first five bootoptions of the liveDVD:
(normal, noacpi, smp normal, smp noapic, save mode)
intr 14 at 40001/40000 hz, livelocked limit
and some "can't read temparature" issue where present at all times.
machine: intel q6600 + abitIP35pro + sata hdd + sata dvd.
same DVD runs fine in VMware.

=> in linux i fixed simular issues with grub-boot-option "all_generic_ide".
WHEREAS simular means noone knew why linux dropped me to busybox(recovery-shell).

good luck
