Description

I got a standard HP Proliant DL380 G6 server with a built-in quad broadcom NIC.

2.10 didn't have the updated bcn drivers, so I installed the 2.11.0.673 snapshot
to get connectivity.

First, the ACPI error (also present in 2.10):
[ACPI Debug] String [0xB] "_TMP Method"

This message repeats 60 times every 10 minutes. I have no idea what it means,
googling for it only points me at a NetBSD discussion from 2009.

Secondly, the bcn driver (or perhaps atapci?):
interrupt total rate
sio2 0 0
sio0 0 0
acpi0 12125 0
bce0 1547359 26
bce1/atapci0 2293301893 39875 <-- ouch?
bce2 0 0
bce3 0 0
uhci0/ehci0 1 0
uhci2/uhci4 34 0
uhci1/uhci3 44 0
ciss0 267683 4
swi_siopoll 0 0
swi_cambio 267762 4
swi_vm 0 0
swi_taskq/swi_mp_taskq 25 0
Total 2295396926 39911

The weird part is that I dont have any ATA devices in use, there's only a CD-
rom. bcn1 isnt configured or marked up, only bcn0 is in use.

The deal breaker here is that I can't do anything disk intensive without getting
a crash. I tried updating pkgsrc yesterday, and here are two examples:

[snip] * [new branch] dragonfly-2010Q3 -> origin/dragonfly-2010Q3
  • Signal 10
    Stop in /usr.
    [snip]
[snip] * [new branch] master -> origin/master
Bus error (core dumped)
  • Error code 1
    Stop in /usr.
    [snip]

While getting these errors messages like this flooded dmesg:
intr 16 at 40001/40000 hz, livelocked limit engaged!
[ACPI Debug] String [0xB] "_TMP Method"
intr 16 at 882/20000 hz, livelock removed

I'm not familiar with debugging this, so please let me know if you need more
info. I can also put the server in the DMZ and give a developer SSH access if
needed.
