Hi,

I tried my brand new HP Compaq laptop 6710b under DragonFly, but during booting
the installer CD it "throws" a page fault:

   uhub0: 2 ports ...
   uhub0: <Intel UHCI root hub, ...>

   Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
   fault virtual address = 0x0
   fault code            = supervisor write, page not present
   instruction pointer   = 0x8:0xc04a9c5c
   stack pointer         = 0x10:0xc25f8d38
   frame pointer         = 0x10:0xc25f8d48
   code segment          = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                         = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gram 1
   processor eflags      = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
   current process       = Idle
   current thread        = pri 46 (CRIT)

   kernel: type 12, code=2
   stopped at       usb_add_task+0x4c:    movl     %edi,0(%eax)


This happens with the latest snapshot version as of yesterday and also with the
1.10 release.

FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 silently hangs during boot, while NetBSD 4.0RC_4 works like a 
charm (it can even dual-boot windows natively)!

Any hints?

For starters, what does NetBSD report as the hardware and can you capture *any* 
scan, dmesg, or other report from FreeBSD 7-BETA3 or DFLY?

And have you tried DFLY and/or FreeBSD with the various boot options selected - 
or can you not get far enough to do so?

Dmesg of NetBSD-4.0_RC4 is appended.

I can start FreeBSD 7-BETA3 if I disable the LAN in the BIOS and boot without 
ACPI as explained here:

http://www.nabble.com/RELENG_7-and-HEAD:-bge-causes-system-hang-t4804426.html


I can, but it doesn't help much. I tried "unset acpi_load", but that gives the 
same result (panic). Maybe a SATA problem I thought? But I disabled "native SATA 
mode" in BIOS, so I guess it's now seen by DF as a (P)ATA controller.

Well, I just wanted to share this, maybe this will help others. For now I don't 
want to install DF anyway, because of lack of Bluetooth and wpi (and probably 
X3100 graphics support).

Thanks!

Forgot attachement.

I could track it down where the panic occurs:

http://opengrok.creo.hu/dragonfly/xref/src/sys/bus/usb/usb.c#374

More specifically:

   http://opengrok.creo.hu/dragonfly/xref/src/sys/sys/queue.h#428

   *(head)->tqh_last = (elm);

This expands to:

   *(&taskq->tasks)->tgh_last = task;

There a NULL pointer is dereferenced somehow.

usb_add_task is called from uhci_timeout:

   http://opengrok.creo.hu/dragonfly/xref/src/sys/bus/usb/uhci.c#1428

It seems to get only called when a timeout occurs. That's maybe that I 
am the only one having those problems :)

I couldn't track it down further. My pure guess would be that it would 
not panic if "uhci_abort_xfer(&uxfer->xfer, USBD_TIMEOUT);" is called 
instead (sc->sc_dying == 1), but I can't build a kernel right now, so I 
can't change the code and build an ISO image.

Any further ideas?

Regards,

   Michael

Looks to be decent detective work to me!

But I quit coding in 'C' the same year the 386-16 was launched,

;-)

..so we'll now need to wait for a developer to weigh-in.

Meanwhile - it is not *supposed to* matter - but on any OS that you are able to 
boot with the devices all optioned ON, can you confirm use of shared interrupts 
or NOT?
