:Hello!
:
: I was remotely updating 1.2.0 machine to 1.2.1. Basically I compiled
:world, compiled kernel, installed kernel and recompiled kernel again
:with PF and ALTQ and installed it. After issuing reboot I could not
:reconnect. After some driving I discovered that machine did not reboot
:itself, because it got stuck (it was not hung!) in "[diagnostic]
:cache_lock: blocked on 0xe4008260 "ttyp8".
:
:Basically output on screen was like this:
:...
:"[diagnostic] cache_lock: blocked on 0xe4008260 "ttyp8"
:
:and stayed there - until I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del:
:...
:Toma븊
Something is holding onto a cache lock while blocked on ttyp8, which
is not supposed to happen (but obviously did). If this happens again,
getting a kernel dump would give me exactly what I need to find and
fix the problem.
