Bug 15846

Summary:	Alpha hangs when using ppp/tun - no error
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	freebsd <freebsd>
Component:	alpha	Assignee:	freebsd-alpha (Nobody) <alpha>
Status:	Closed FIXED
Severity:	Affects Only Me

Description freebsd 2000-01-02 20:50:00 UTC

Usermode ppp using tun and sio on either AlphaServer 400 4/233 or
Alpha Station 4/266 works fine for about 5 minutes, then hangs the
system completly. (no ping,no response on the console).
Can be forced by transferring data (http and ftp tried).

Fix: 

- How to force a crash with FreeBSD ?
- Make indicates that ev56 instructions are used .. those are ev4
  Systems, could that be a problem ? Could not build kernel for ev4.
How-To-Repeat: Setup user mode ppp, use ppp-link to transfer data via one of the
builtin serial ports.
Custom Kernels as well as generic kernel shows same behaviour.

Hi,

I believe that this can be put to solved - as of FreeBSD
4.0-20000214-CURRENT
the problem canot be reproduced anymore.

Also the hangs after a couple of days continuous operation disappeared -
great job folks !

Thanks,

Pascal Pederiva
