Hosteng) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.bugs Subject: 2 possible bugs in FreeBSD 2.0 Date: 16 Jan 1995 16:29:10 GMT Organization: Norweegian Information Technology Lines: 28 Message-ID: <3fe6sm$i9t@tor.oslo.nit.no> NNTP-Posting-Host: ivarhpc.oslo.nit.no X-Newsreader: NetSuite News for OS/2 [version: 3.3j] After installing FreeBSD on a 90Mhz pentium system having 48Mb ram, and a PCI ATI GPT videocard and a NCR PCI scsi controller I am having a few problems. I think theese problems looks like bugs in the kernel. Here is a description of the two problems: 1) I am using a PPP connection to the office (and to internet) on a leased line. I am using 2 Us Robotics V.34 modems and is running the ports at 115200 baud. If i kill the pppd process the system somtimes reboots without any kernel panic or other warning. There is no information in any of the system logs. This also have happened when the modems did not connect properly (they connected non ARQ). It looked to like the kernel did not linke the garbage the modem sent it. I have been using the PC for 9 months without any problems under OS/2 so I do not think that this is a ram error or any other hw related problem. 2) When mounting my CD-ROM drive (a NEC 3Xi and a Toshiba XM-5201) using the OS/2 Devcon 5 (special edition) disc 1 and doing a ls -R /cdrom the system hangs when ls reaches the directory <cdrom-mount-point>/devtools/gpfrexx/samples/rexx. I can press keys and they will echo but the system does not respond to anything other than the reset button. This happens only with this CD. The CD has no problems under dos and OS/2.
