Help!
Our 4100 5/400 crashed this afternoon. All day (up to the crash), it was intermittantly
slow -- to the point where it might be 30 seconds for it to echo your keystrokes.
Since all access to this machine is generally remote, I ran netstat -id and all looked
normal. I also looked at the load and it was, if anything, low.
So, I chalked it up to our intermittant network glitches and didn't worry too much.
Then came the crash....
>From what I can tell from the crash logs (and I am far from an expert on these things),
the crash was caused by
_panic_string: 0xfffffc00005b5e50 = "simple_lock: time limit exceeded"
The current PID is shown as:
l3 address 0xffffffffffffffd8 not mapped, pte 0x0
which is frequently repeated in other places in the log as well...
About a week ago, we had a crash that seemed to be caused by
_panic_string: 0xfffffc0000590898 = "pmap_begin_shared_region timeout"
and I was able to track down the PID and find the program that caused it.
Any clues or ideas as to how I might proceed.
The only change I can think of in the system recently is that I installed ssh2
yesterday.
Thanks for any help.
