Help! Unix server always reboots
When I start a server, some processes are started, then I get the following error message:
syncing discs... panic: getnewbuf: locked buf Uptime 1m20s Automatic reboot in 15s And it always reboots... What is the problem and how can I break the rebooting cycle? P.S. All these happened when the server once freezed and I pushed reset... (What else to do then?) |
start in runlevel 1 (single-user mode) and fsck
|
How to start it in runlevel 1? (It is FreeBSD.)
It starts up with the following menu after reboot: F1 FreeBSD I do not see any choice there. After some seconds it starts checking disks (and then reboots.) I am a FreeBSD newbie, so I am consulting the FreeBSD handbook, but, since it is very urgent, I hope someone may be faster here... |
Thanks for your attention!
Problem solved: I could somehow stop the cycle and get into single user mode: boot -s Fsck did not find or corrected any errors in any file system; however, the server starts normally ever since. Strange... |
Problem not solved; it happened again.
But now I think I found the reason: the server restarts with the locked buf error when a printer is connected to LPT1. (Previously I was misleaded by the fact that file system errors were found after each restart.) Now I will check if it is the port, the cable or the printer. |
