Hello,

I really need help on this :) Thx in advance.

www.dedibox.fr is a new dedicaded server provider in France.  They build their 
own server (base on VIA C7 on a custom motherboard).  Every machine is the 
same. There is only ONE difference: the version of the BIOS mplemented on the 
motherboard. (see after)

Several persons have installed NetBSD 3.0 on those dedicated servers. A  part 
has a stable installation, the other part has a buggy  installation. After 
investigation, the ONLY difference is the version  of the BIOS. and the 
difference is:
The Pstate has been disabled on buggy BIOS and vcore as been augmented  by 
0.1v

The 2 BIOS are working fine on *Linux and FreeBSD but the newest is not on 
NetBSD and OpenBSD

I've tested OpenBSD and the problem is exactly the same. OpenBSD is also buggy 
with this BIOS revision.

The hardware is fine (long hardware test + intensive usage of the machine (via 
make build, excessive tar, make kernel, and stress  program). It's really an 
NetBSD/OpenBSD problem.

I'm running NetBSD3.0-stable, the problems are:
 Kernel panic
 Machine is crashing
 Many seg fault (signal 11)

You can find OpenBSD dmesg here:
The current dmesg is viewable here:
http://www.fatbsd.com/dedibox/dmesg.current
The 3.9 dmesg is viewable here:
http://www.fatbsd.com/dedibox/dmesg.stable
The diff between the two is viewable here:

You could also find a dmidecode output here:
http://www.fatbsd.com/dedibox/dmidecode.fat
(the only difference dmidecode on stable installation and on a buggy 
installation is the release date of the bios, all the rest is identical)

I'd like to konw what is Pstate (I think it's Processus State but I'm not 
sure) and what it's doing.

As it's a dedicated server, I've no access to the box. So after a kernel panic 
I don't have access to the console and the only solution is to hard reboot 
remotly. Is it possible to retreive informations about the crash (as nothing 
appears in /var/log/message && dmesg of course)? (and how)

They don't want to change my bios version for now, so I'm available for 
testing.

Thanks you very much in advance.

++ Jerome
