hardware or software problem?
Hello folks,
the last few days my openbsd 4.3 keeps on hanging suddenly, and I can only reset with the power button. I did not install new software or the like, so I think it could be a problem with the hardware which is very old (HP Omnibook 900b). How do I make sure it is not a software problem? And is there a way to check if it is a hardware problem without being a technician? Thank you |
|

While we're waiting to find out what's going on, here are a couple of things to think about:
1) Do you have sufficient swap space defined? If you run out, your OS can hang or panic, depending on what process requests memory. 2) If you're running X, and missing the panic->drop to ddb, you can disable the drop to ddb by setting sysctl ddb.panic=0. Instead of dropping to ddb, the OS will dump RAM to swap and reboot -- of course, you need swap space for this to happen. See crash(8) and ddb(4) for more info. |
|
|||
thank you, I'll check the man pages you say
I'm using X, in fact. Swap should be enough, 200m for 196m of ram |
|
||||
Check RAM with memtest.
Does colling of your CPU works well?

I gently stopped my window manager (ion3), and I found ddb running in console with this message:

Your computer is newer then most of mine.
Can you post your dmesg here in [code][/code] blocks? it may or may not help us.... help you. On systems that crash, (I don't own many portable devices.. so some of this may not apply to you.)

Well, look at it from this perspective.

I did disable apm, but on reboot it is enabled again. I removed the flashcard and put /tmp in a file.
In fact it has always given this error in dmesg, but worked fine until a few days ago. So, is it actually the flashcard the problem? Here is my dmesg Code:

Using boot -c will allow you to temporarily change some kernel configuration attributes, as described by boot_config(8). Those changes can be made permanent with config(8)'s "-u" option, if warranted, or config(8) may be used to recreate the changes or produce a changed kernel file to select at the boot> prompt.
---- cbb(4) is a cardbus controller. Looking through the source code (src/sys/dev/pci/{pccbb.c,pcbbreg.h} the "Bad Vcc Request" comes from a status code produced by the cardbus socket register. ---- Searching through the misc@ mailing list archives, I saw one posting from 2004 that described the message as spurious. Considering you see kernel messages like these while your system is running and not hanging, I do not believe that cardbus/pcmcia issues are related to your hang. |
|
|||
I forgot to mention that this dmesg is without the flashcard, if I plug it in it always gives that error
After the last crash, after reboot the system would not work, it was very slow,like 30 seconds to show me the "cd" I just typed. When I finally removed the card everything seems fine after reboot. I'll try and use it a few days and see what happens. Cooling should be fine, and I don't really do any cpu intensive work, only browsing with w3m and chatting with pidgin, oh also emails with alpine I'll also try memtest Thanks a lot for you time, if it keeps hanging I'll come back |
|
|||
it hanged again the same way, so it definitely is not the flashcard
I did a quick test yesterday with memtester from the packages, now I'm doing a more complete one, but ram seems to be ok what should I do? |
|
||||
If you make these changes, and the system still hangs, install the "stress" package and run various heavy load tests while in console mode, to see if particular types of hardware stresses cause system failures/hangs. Last edited by jggimi; 8th August 2008 at 07:27 AM. |

I see, thank you for your detailed answer.
In fact yesterday I already added the sysctl.panic=0 as you said in /etc, so as you are guessing it must be some software needing a lot of ram and the swap is not enoug either, since it hanged again. This laptop only supports this much ram, cannot add anymore. I will try and give more swap for the crash dump to see what happens. But also, I remember reading in the faqs or man pages that dumps are written in to /var, am I right? My /var partition is 300. Anyway I'll try and give more swap and see what happens. The only thing I added lately is cupsd starting on boot, and I also have often postgresql server running. Could it be those? I'm of course planning to by a new laptop, but first I want to become proficient with openbsd, so I won't need to mess around with a brand new machine. I'm running memtest now and everything seems fine with ram. |
|
|||
I was in console (no X running) and it happened again
I then removed the ddb.panic=0, and it happened again with this message: Stopped at Xrecurse_legacy4+0x6d incl uvmexp+0x8c typing "trace" gives: apm_cpu_idle (lots of numbers) at apm_cpu_idle+0x2c cpu_idle_cycle (numbers) at cpu_idle_cycle+0vc Bad frame pointer: (number) I should add that the display is somewhat faulty, if I move the lid it usually change colors, and now, these days it started to change color by itself, insted of having black I get a green display Maybe it has to do with this? Maybe it is really time for this old machine to rest for good? Last edited by gosha; 8th August 2008 at 01:59 PM. |

You have now confirmed that your system is panicking. Panics happen when the kernel cannot recover from an error.
Unfortunately your post describing the panic doesn't show the actual panic message (which should have been above the "Stopped.." line on the console), so we don't know why it occurred --- just where in memory it happened. I have scanned the source code for both the kernel and for X, I could not find the string "Xrecurse_legacy4".Saving of RAM and system state after a panic will be attempted, automatically, if ddb.panic=0, or can be done by command from within ddb if ddb.panic=1. The dump of memory happens in two stages:
|
|
|||
if I swap to file, will the system use both my swap partition and the file or only the file?
|
|
||||
As I mentioned above, during dump to swap, the system will dump to available swap space. On boot, swap space in a file will not be available to savecore(8), so if it dumps any data to swap space assigned to a file, the dump will be lost.
|
|
||||
OK! I found the reference to Xrecurse_legacy4 -- I'd missed it earlier because I was hunting in C (.c/.h) source, not in Assembler Language source (.s/.S) code.
I found it in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/i386/vector.s -- interrupt handling for i386. Your traceback refers to APM -- which is the likely culprit for the panic -- though the specific reason for the problem is unclear without the panic message. But knowing what we know, you can disable APM, as bsdfan666 first suggested we discussed earlier, and see if your problem goes away. To disable it permanently, use: # config -ef /bsdand enter "disable apm" and "quit" as bsdfan666 had shown above. Then reboot. |

I see, thanks, I'll try with an external drive
I did not permanently disable apm yet, because for some reason if I disable it my wireless card also does not come up, but if apm is enabled it works fine. |
