I installed the new patches and tried out the kernel.
The first reboot resulted in a kernel panic and a reboot.
(Sorry I couldn't catch it). The second reboot didn't
panic but gave a message about the interrupt handler then
rebooted.
I tracked both of these down to trying to use NFSv2 mounts with 8192 read
sizes from a linux server. So I booted without mounting anything. Tried
using NFSv3 mounts to a solaris server. This worked, mostly, but produced
the following errors :
Writing to the solaris server was fine.
Reading produced the errors :
NFS: Odd RPC header size in read reply: 128
This repeated several times.
Then I tried mounting NFSv2 from a solaris server with
32768 rsize. It mounted and wrote with no errors.
Reading produced the errors :
RPC: garbage, retrying 2553
RPC: garbage, retrying 2553
RPC: garbage, exit EIO
These repeated with different increasing values of 9 (the next value
was 2562 and so on).
Finally, to try to reproduce the crashes above, I tried
mounting a linux server via NFSv2 with an 8192 rsize,
then copy a file from it. It locked up the system hard with
no error messages.
Hope this helps.
