Right now I am trying to install a modem to my 2.1-stable system and I am stuck with a problem. So could please anyone help me out there how to install my Hayes ESP Communications Accelerator - Dual Port (ISA) serial card to my system. (Its installation guide helps only with sucky MS-Windows OS). There are two Zyxel U-1496E modems (57600 b/s supported) attached to it. With the ESP card it communicated only with 9600 up till now, and whenever I tryed to speed it up, the modem seemed to make the connection but it couldn't get through to the machine somehow. II. How can I redefine my keyboard to use an extended character-set (Latin-2, Hungarian). Since I am Hungarian, it would be pretty cool for me... Thanx!

I was trying to say that, there is no finer resolution on the memory allocated for use for each of the OPTION in the kernel. I guess one can really do the following to figure out memory usage for each of the OPTION : 1) enable and build that component first 2) run size on all the contributing *.o and/or *.lib and sum the figure up The only problem is that you must still always have the *.o files in the very first place. What my initial suggestion is that when 2.1 is released the people who prepare the dist. could have prepared such a set of info and with a simle wrapper around the config, it shoudn't be too difficult to report an accurate memory usage, and hence gives a good indication to people with low memory machine that what they really want for what they have. - -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ M.C Wong Email: mcw@hpato.aus.hp.com Australian Telecom Operation Voice: +61 3 272 8058 Hewlett-Packard Australia Ltd Fax: +61 3 898 9257 31 Joseph St, Blackburn 3130, Australia OS: FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 http://www-ato.aus.hp.com/~mcw -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMG9D+kmThh0X7Um5AQGlrQP/TbnlXw0bbBlKxT3DsPY+fkSFlUsFm30l GwzirGlGzcIPP/ZEgmfvob7wPFfbDcd2Hh4AITOSfz53wLZMekvaIbEFIjviDGw/ 3WDwYc+iu09lbdLaPJF/k/dHajhv4P5b6aPHhLnZjdYTE9LrJBehREfKOwI3wJ5R Y165J9SvEmc= =/tkN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 1 19:45:12 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id TAA12213 for questions-outgoing; Sun, 1 Oct 1995 19:45:12 -0700 Received: from ferrari.sfu.ca (root@ferrari.sfu.ca [142.58.110.11]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id TAA12205 for ; Sun, 1 Oct 1995 19:45:07 -0700 Received: from fraser.sfu.ca (mcquiggi@fraser.sfu.ca [142.58.110.1]) by ferrari.sfu.ca with ESMTP (8.6.12/SFU-2.6H) id TAA00106 (from mcquiggi@sfu.ca); Sun, 1 Oct 1995 19:44:57 -0700 From: Kevin McQuiggin Received: by fraser.sfu.ca (8.6.12/SFU-2.6C) id CAA03806 (from mcquiggi@sfu.ca); Mon, 2 Oct 1995 02:44:32 GMT Message-Id: <199510020244.CAA03806@fraser.sfu.ca> Subject: No mail for days!

I'm just hoping someone who installed FreeBSD ran into something similar and has a quick solution. We're having a problem running the XF86_Mach32 server on our Professional/GX on FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE. Perhaps someone has an idea what's going on: A user does a remote login to a Sun Sparc. They run Framemaker. Frame pops up the initial window w/o any problems. Then, when they click on any of the buttons, they get the following: Fatal server error: caught signal 11. server aborting XF86_Mach32: uid 0: exited on signal 6 X goes down in a ball of flames and the kernel logs it in /var/log/messages. Here's my XF86_Config file for those who are really interested: BTW, I'm using a Logitech MouseMan on the PS/2 port on FreeBSD. The MouseMan declaration no longer works with this new version. I had to select Device PS/2 to get that working properly. Also, there was an old option called "intel_gx" for those with onboard Mach32 interfaces. Although it doesn't complain, it doesn't appear to be mentioned in the manpage any longer. -- # ********************************************************************** # Files section.

I did that on an old VAX/VMS system with TK50 drives once. Ugh! To write to the tape..... # cd / # tar cvf /dev/rst0 ./bin will write your /bin... to tape. "man st" will tell you about some special mode for closing/rewinding/notrewinding options for the /dev/rst0.# The only potentially outstanding problem with doing a "tar cvf /dev/rst0 ./" is that tar will attempt to save the /proc file system.

I have added kernel support for about 90% of the necessary kernel code, and there is an engineer in England who is working on the client and server code in the daemons. If successful, FreeBSD will be the first public source base that supports NFS locking. As it is, many commercial implementations do not support locking either. > We have some problems with some mail programs that try to lock the > mailbox (which is nfs mounted on a FreeBSD machine from a SunOS > machine). NFS mail file mounting is a bad thing if you run mail programs that rewrite the mailbox. This is because there is, in effect, client caching in all cases, since the buffers are hung locally off the local vnode pointing to the NFS alias vnode. Even with working locking, be prepared to have sendmail trash your mail file if you are updatinging the file from the mailer program at the time new mail comes in. I had this problem on a Sun system, and the only workaround is to *not* NFS mount the mailboxes. Perhaps you could use the POP client/server facilities to get around this problem instead? That is typically the correct way to deal with the mail. > I also notice that it is not possible to lock a device. How is this > done? Device range locks would be meaningless, and therefore impossible to support. You should open the device with O_EXCL if you want exclusive use. The semantic override in the locking code in the file system framework is, in fact, incorrectly implemented and does not apply to the specfs or the new devfs. This is because the semantic override is not implemented at the vfs_syscalls layer; instead, the locks are implemented in the file systems (if they are implemented at all) through calls to common routines. In point of fact, the locks should be implemented unconditionally for all open vnodes (the system call should call lf_advlock), and the call down into the FS itself should be for notification and potential veto by the underlying file system. Further, it should occur *AFTER* the local call, since a local veto will be faster than potentially going remote. I believe that the current range lock implementation is based on an incomplete understanding of the Heidemann file system framework layering model. This is on my list of model inconsistensies that must be corrected, but there are other gross architectural inconsistencies and outright errors that are more important to address at this time.

As more and more structures become dynamically allocated (and therefore dynamically reconfigurable), the static code and data sizes will fall further and further below the actual usage at runtime. This is already a problem with any runtime allocations that take place, and since they take place conditionally, there is really no way to check what their final values will be, only what they *may* be. Even then, it will require going through the kernel looking for the hard limits on all memory allocations.

Well, it's not conmpletely obvious, but the other routine mentioned in the same man-page is the better solution. Instead of: { char foo[255]; char *ptr; #if defined(BAD_CODE) gets(foo); #else fgets(foo, 255, stdin); c = index(foo, '\n'); if ( c != NULL ) *c = '\0'; #endif } The use of the index call is necessary to strip off the trailing '\n'.

Use fgets( buf, XXX, stdin) in place of gets( buf). Replace XXX with the size of buf. The "danger" is in the use of extremely long input lines to overflow the buffer and rewrite the stack.

I don't think mounting and sequential devices like (any kind of) tape go in the same breath. AFAIK, to mount implies some kind of filesystem (and random access), and tape just won't fit the bill.

The problem is that in "plug n play" mode, DOS can relocate the card. Once relocated, BSD can't find it because it can't do the "plug n play" probe for the card. Typically, DOS can do the "plug n play" probe for the card because you loaded a driver off the disk and thus DOS knows there's a card of that type there. Therefore it's safe to destructively probe for the card. Typically BSD can not because BSD comes with drivers for lots of cards, and if it assumed there were cards there, it could mess up other cards or CMOS settings by probing for something that isn't there. One cards probe is another cards CMOS settings. Typically, Win95 comes with lots of drivers (like BSD) but can do the "plug n play" proble (like DOS) because Win95, during initial install or during "add hardware" will destructively probe for all the cards for which it has drivers. It keeps a log of what it was probing, and if it crashes, you have to manually reboot it, and it will restart after the unsuccessful probe that cause the crash. You may have to reboot as many as 10 or 12 times, if you are "lucky" enough to have a CDROM on a soundblaster or similar card that isn't very robust in the face of other (nonexistant) cards being probed. BSD does not currently implement this type of install-time probing, but because of this, BSD probes tend to be less destructive than Win95 probes.

I would like to learn some of the basics of UNIX. I am interested in running UNIX on my PC at home. I have an AMD DX2/66 with 8MB RAM. I have a NEC IDE CDROM drive. I have Windows 3.1 installed - hence very little free disk space. I would like to know more about FreeBSD! I have a question regarding this section of the FreeBSD documentation: >Hardware Requirements: >Standard ISA, EISA, VL, or PCI bus based PC (386sx to Pentium class), >4 meg ram (8MB recommended.) You need a minimum of 60MB of disk space >for binary only system, and 700MB for everything. 700MB is a big chunk of anyone's HD! Can you give me a breakdown of how much HD space will be required for a bare-bones UNIX environment that I can use to learn a bit about UNIX in my spare time. Since I use Windows 3.1 at work this will still be my main OS, however I would like to learn how to write shell scripts, use VI etc etc. I understand that there are modules like TCP, SCSI, ISDN etc etc that I do not have to install to save me some HD space. Are there other 'UNIX on a PC' packages which are more suitable for me? Will Windows 3.1 (Windows 95) co-exist with FreeBSD. What is 'Rock Ridge CDROM support'?

It is coming along quite nicely! I am on my way to paying homage to the Unix gods. One problem I am running into though is that I mainly use ppp as a connection. School provides it for free, how nice! Anyhow after about 5 minutes i recieve this message... date/time systemx routed[46]: deleting route to interface tun0 (timed out). Well, this is not affecting my connection at all, it's just the fact that it is there that I am curious about... for now that is my biggest concern.. Also I seem to have deleted my sysinstall ( or at least corrupted it somehow). When i try to run it i get about 50 or so of these. -rw-r--r--: not found (repeated over and over). What might you think the problem is? Is there a way to get just this file, whitout going through the bin dist? ThanX in advance! Timothy M.

I saw a Adaptec 3985 for $500 in misc.????.cards.forsale Supposed to have 3 SCSI channels, and so on.

I wonder what will be the best tools to use for screening packets from different sources : 1) screend 2) tcp_wrapper 3) ip_filt Preferably, I want something that can be installed without modifications to the kernel sources. But if patches are readily available, I DO NOT mind. No, I don't have the luxury to buy anothe router and make it sit in front of my FreeBSD boxes, so I can only turn FreeBSD box into a screenign router instead. I am ready to use/set up my 2.0.5 boxes with the built-in ipfw or with any other tools above (also for some private reasons, don't ask). Can someone with such experience please post/advice/suggest/point me to the right track ?

I've got the same Micron system, except 90Mhz, and I got the same error. The workaround (sorry, no solution. I'm new to FreeBSD also) is to type -c at the Boot: prompt.

(If there's a better place/person to ask let me know). I am trying to have the same machine dial out on demand and accept incoming ppp connections. Either one of these works individually, but I can't get them to work together. I have a kernel compiled with two tunnel devices and tun0 and tun1 both exist. The problem arises when I have ppp -auto running (no connection is up) and then I try to connect inbound with ppp. Everything works fine except that I can see a route being added to my router through tun0. iijppp however is using tun1 for the inbound connection since tun0 was taken by the ppp -auto process. I assume that this is an iijppp bug or implementation error on my part. I took a brief look at the iijppp source but quickly got lost. Has anybody seen this before? How do I fix it? Who do I ask about this? I have been told that other people have no problems with this but I can't see what I'm doing differently.

Never mind what this program does. The fact that "a" is uninitialised is irrelevant - gdb bombs regardless every time, as per my previous post. I just wanted something simple, and ended up writing a program using an unitialised variable - just my luck :( However, if any of you has a solution to gdb bombing out on me, please let me know. As much as I like FreeBSD, I can't really devote my machine to it if I can't get gdb working.

I have the following simple program (mytest.c): main() { int a; a = a * 2; } I have the CD live filesystem (CD 2) mounted on /cdrom. I do the following: raoul@pogo[36]: /cdrom/usr/bin/gcc -g mytest.c raoul@pogo[36]: /cdrom/usr/bin/gdb a.out GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it under certain conditions; type "show copying" to see the conditions. There is absolutely no warranty for GDB; type "show warranty" for details. GDB 4.13 (i386-unknown-freebsd), Copyright 1994 Free Software Foundation, Inc... (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/home/raoul/test/a.out Error accessing memory address 0x6d7884: Invalid argument. (gdb) quit And this happens for whatever program I try to compile. It happens with my real gdb and gcc as well, I've just used the CDROM versions to demonstrate that they're identical. It happens regardless of whether I'm in X, or whether I'm on a text console, whether I've got a few processes running or loads of them (so chances are it's not a memory problem). It always gives the same message. I have an identical /usr/lib to that in /cdrom/usr/lib. I tried compiling with "-static" and when I run gdb, I type "run" and I get dropped into a subshell (!?!?!). I exit from this subshell, and I'm back in gdb, telling me that my program exited successfully (!?!?). I have the 2.0 compatibility libraries installed as well, and I tried compiling and debugging with the 2.0 versions of gcc and gdb. Same problem. I tried rebuilding gdb from the sources on the CD, but the problem was still there with the new binary. I then tried to rebuild gdb from standard distribution, but I couldn't get it to build for freebsd (it built for netbsd, but the gdb binary had problems with the format of the a.out binary). I've never had memory problems before on this machine, and memory tests (such as the 2.0 FreeBSD boot memory test) have never indicated any problems. I'm running a custom kernel, but I don't see obvious parameters being reset which would result in this problem. Is it likely to be a kernel problem? If so, what parameter/option should I be looking at? Any ideas?

I would recommend just a caching name server... basicly a named.boot file that contains "cache . named.root" if I remeber right... this will allow regularly used names not have to be resolved over the ppp link... also... yes... your ethernet machines should use your FreeBSD machine as their gateway... but you should only have one ip address... I'm not sure on what is "correct"... but I have always set it up using the same ip... hope this helps... TTYL..

I can tell you what has worked for me and what the developers have told me. (Perhaps if I do this well, I'll save them the trouble of replying, so they can keep working on cool software) :) Rodolfo Heitor Gevaerd de Faria writes: -> What are the current available drivers for Audio and Video hardware ? The only audio card that will do full-duplex audio under FreeBSD is the GUS. All other cards are half-duplex, and they might not work. If you have to use a soundblaster, the best you can hope for is to use it for your microphone and have the audio played out of the PC speaker. Just the thought of that convinced me to buy a GUS. The GUS MAX is roughly US$155. After a few hours of playing with it, I got it working. It now works fine. For video, you have apparently 2 choices. The Creative Labs Video Spigot and the Matrox Meteor. The Video Spigot is no longer manufactured by Creative Labs, so you will have a hard time finding one. I understand that Matrox sells their Meteor cards directly. The contact info is in the mail archives. Just search for "Matrox". If you want to use some other combination of hardware, you have to write the drivers yourself (or wait for these guys to write one for you). -> Is anyone working on anything that's not in the standard distributions. Most everything that is useful is in 2.2-current. A substantial part of that is also in 2.1-stable. If you want the latest drivers for the Matrox and Video Spigot, you'll need to get -current, though. -> I have read that the best Audio card for Mbone is the GUS. Is there -> any other card (Besides PAS or SB) ? There are other cards that are supported by FreeBSD, but none of them are full-duplex, like the GUS. That is why it is the best (only) card for MBONE stuff. -> I was thinking about using a Video Blaster RT300, but someone told me -> that the Video Blaster has some serious problems if you have more than -> 16Mbytes of RAM. Beside that, I think that there is no one that is working -> in a device driver for it. I can't say anything about what it does with 16Mb RAM, but the fact that there is no driver is enough to convince me to buy something else. :) If you download the sources for FreeBSD-current and do "make world" you should get the latest versions of these drivers and you'll be up-to-date. Of course, all the standard warnings about running -current apply. It's been simple and stable for me so far, but the machine running it is unused most of the time. That's what I know. I think I'm accurate, but I know the experts will step in if I've made a mistake.

Does anyone have any ideas???? Below are details to help diagnose prob. and kernel config file just in case thats of use (maybe I messed up on one entry) Both boxes are load free as is the wire I see no collisions at LEDS on back of ne2000 card The freeBSD box has 16M and a slightly modified kernel (only deletions and addition of a multiport serial card) and is otherwise fast as hell. The NT box is probably not the problem either as it is 3.51 and has run wonderfully for a long time. I have tried both ne2000 and 3com 509 cards in both and this is not the problem. The cable is terminated 6ft of rg58 thin net (one bud said something about too short a cable. Thats a new one, but considering..... ) when I kill gated transmission speeds up??? ( +20-30k/sec) when I transfer multiple large files they progressively get slower Pings average under 1ms. transfer (viewed via hash) is sporatic with a maybe 10 K at first, pause and several burst (~60k) at the rate I would expect with 1-1.5 sec pauses inbetween with little or no trasfer durring that time.

I have noticed a few oddity which I hoped the group could enlighten me on. 1) Enabling an external cache in the CMOS causes a panic during the memory test. 2) When switching between virtual consoles I notice that the cursor remains positioned where it was on the last vc for about the first 3 seconds. This never happened on the 386, same video and monitor. 3) I upgraded to the 16mb 486/66 because I could not get my tape backup to work (Colorado 350) with the ft driver. When doing tar -czvf - /etc |ft "etc tar" I would get all kinds of bad things the most descriptive being "No Pages?" so I assumed that memory was tight. With the extra 6mb of RAM I still have this same symtom with the tar/ft command. I need to get a backup so that I can upgrade to 2.0.5 or 2.1 at this rate. Does anyone have any ideas on this. 4) The probe section on the boot up reports this RTC BIOS error, any ideas FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Oct 3 23:48:05 EDT 1995 root@pics.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/PICS RTC BIOS diagnostic error 3 CPU: Cy486DLC (486-class CPU) Origin = "Cyrix" real memory = 16384000 (4000 pages) avail memory = 14921728 (3643 pages) using 290 buffers containing 2379776 bytes of memory Probing for devices on the ISA bus: From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Oct 3 22:04:39 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id WAA18472 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 3 Oct 1995 22:04:39 -0700 Received: from blob.best.net (blob.best.net [204.156.128.88]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id WAA18464 for ; Tue, 3 Oct 1995 22:04:34 -0700 Received: from shell1.best.com (shell1.best.com [204.156.128.10]) by blob.best.net (8.6.12/8.6.5) with ESMTP id WAA27356 for ; Tue, 3 Oct 1995 22:04:32 -0700 Received: from rompel (rompel.vip.best.com [204.156.141.238]) by shell1.best.com (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id WAA13360 for ; Tue, 3 Oct 1995 22:04:30 -0700 Message-Id: <199510040504.WAA13360@shell1.best.com> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "David Rompel" Organization: None To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 3 Oct 1995 22:04:39 -800 Subject: Sending console messages to just 1 virtual console Reply-to: rompel@best.com Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.01) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello, stupid question, except it drives me crazy to see my nice vi screen get mashed by login messages and errors when I'm in the middle of editing code.

This floppy would probably have it's own /etc but would mount the filesystems someplace where I can edit them and if nessesary actually compile etc. Thanks in advance I'm sure someone has this just laying around, or knows the switches to use at the kernel boot promt to start very little of the fluff that makes a real system From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 4 04:18:45 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id EAA10392 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 04:18:45 -0700 Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id EAA10387 for ; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 04:18:43 -0700 Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin [198.145.90.50]) by Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with ESMTP id EAA19480; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 04:17:16 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id EAA00482; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 04:18:36 -0700 Message-Id: <199510041118.EAA00482@corbin.Root.COM> To: Jeff Haynes cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ed0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 0 In-reply-to: Your message of "Tue, 03 Oct 95 17:48:04 CDT." <199510032248.RAA02023@tenforwd.wiz.com> From: David Greenman Reply-To: davidg@Root.COM Date: Wed, 04 Oct 1995 04:18:35 -0700 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk >I keep getting this error whenever I try to talk to my freebsd box >from another machine over ed0.

I've seen the console lock up in several different circumstances, one with 950726 when you move a ps2 mouse too fast (this is whether or not the mouse is actually in use) (I think this one is a known problem) and twice now in a nearly-2.0.5R (sup'd from current just before the real release) when switching virtual consoles. Both of these were with syscons and the default number of consoles gen'd. I've seen lockups before on switching away from X; I think the problem there is that you hit another key before the screen mode+data restore is done; with X that takes a while so it is more likely to happen.

You apparently write on a mac :-) It is nice to format with carriage returns so those who see this on vt100's don't lose most of the paragraph. One ISP friend that I work with is using one of the 16 modem USR chassis; it works fine but costs a bunch. It isn't modular and the configuration switches work in groups of 8 rather than individually... As far as I know the nvram is individual but I haven't read the manual in detail for that since we are using them all for dial-in and just lock them in dumb mode from the dip switches. My other ISP friend is just using loose modems and has a mix of Practical Peripherals, USR and Hayes... There are incompatibility problems between various non-Rockwell modems (USR, Motorola and Telebit primarily) and Rockwell ones (most others). These occur even at 14.4k but are sometimes very bad (like you can't even connect) at 28k. The USR ones connect best with Telebits; older rockwell modems get *lots* of V.42 packet loss talking with Telebits at 14.4k. (like my uucp G throughput was 700cps with an old viva and 1500 with the USR 28k, both with 14.4k carrier, talking to the same Worldblazer on a very local phone connection). Overall my *current* preference is with USR. The sportsters can have thermal problems and can't be operated on their side with the switch down, at least without a fan. I do, however, run one continuously with good success. -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 4 10:01:37 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id KAA25273 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 10:01:37 -0700 Received: from mail1.digital.com (mail1.digital.com [204.123.2.50]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id KAA25267 ; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 10:01:34 -0700 Received: from rks32.pcs.dec.com by mail1.digital.com; (5.65 EXP 4/12/95 for V3.2/1.0/WV) id AA05563; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 09:46:23 -0700 Received: by rks32.pcs.dec.com (Smail3.1.27.1 #16) id m0t0Wr1-0005OqC; Wed, 4 Oct 95 17:39 MEZ Message-Id: To: questions%freebsd.org@inet-gw-1.pa.dec.com Cc: current%freebsd.org@inet-gw-1.pa.dec.com Subject: Re: gdb problem? libraries, perhaps?

Hmm, this maybe due to the changes to crt0.c I committed to the tree which got brought into 2.1. I didn't even try out gdb on any programs, so it's possible that the changes affected gdb.

I *want* to, but haven't got as far as you. Have noticed in ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/packet/tcpip/bsd there is a collection of diffs for putting AX.25 into the 386BSD kernel.

It's really best to have a full-duplex card; the SB cards are generally half-duplex. vmix v0.3 will apparently work with a half-duplex card but I'm not sure if it will let you speak or just listen.

In the ed0 case, the problem is that the interrupt isn't set right or there is a conflict with another card. If your card is soft configured, then try setting the irq in the kernel config file to '?' - this will cause the kernel to read and use the irq from the card. It's also possible that you might have an interrupt conflict with another card. In the case of the ix driver, if it sort of works, but you get the device timeouts (which appears to be the case), then you're experiancing a different problem that is probably not with the configuration. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Oct 4 12:01:41 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id MAA00231 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 12:01:41 -0700 Received: from eureka.gdl.iteso.mx ([148.201.131.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id LAA29688 for ; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 11:51:25 -0700 Received: (from humberto@localhost) by eureka.gdl.iteso.mx (8.6.11/8.6.9) id IAA04885; Wed, 4 Oct 1995 08:43:35 -0600 Date: Wed, 4 Oct 1995 08:43:34 -0600 (CST) From: Jose Humberto Aceves Ramos To: Julian Elischer cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: problems whit freebsd In-Reply-To: <199510040454.VAA01052@ref.tfs.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 3 Oct 1995, Julian Elischer wrote: > what version of FreeBSD? > > > > > > I have a problem whit FreeBSD, some times somo process stay > > working in memory, and I can't kill it, for example I type 'df' or 'w' > > and this processdo does nothig and I can't do anything because the screen > > is busy whot this process, in others words, the terminal stay quite. > > I try to kill this process whit manager but it doesn't let me. > > Also others user get out of the sistem but some times this process > > doesn't kill, and they continue in the sistem, and I have to kill them > > whit manager. > > To kill all I can't whit manager, i have to give shutdown to the > > sistem, because this is the only alternative. > > Does any body can tellme what happen or whar can I do to prevent this. > > > > Thank you. > > > > Humberto. > > > > > what is manager? > > do we have a Spanish speaker in the house? > > julian > > > manager is the same as root, my english is not very but i try to speak somethig. tanks.

I'm going to be a naughty boy and not use send-pr for this one, mostly because I can't afford to reproduce it at the moment. I've seen the same symptom using tcpdump on a 'de' ethernet card (Compex).

Thanks for your reply. I managed to track down the problem by following the gdb source code last night (kind of difficult seeing that I didn't have gdb to trace it with ! :-) The problem is that my login shell is /bin/csh. Since I'd rather use zsh instead, as the last line in my .cshrc I have "exec /usr/local/bin/zsh" to switch to zsh. I didn't bother to change my /etc/passwd entry with chpass, and I thought I wouldn't need to. Anyway, I traced it down to a ptrace syscall in the gdb source code. The arguments were correct (as far as I could tell), but the call was failing. The address referred to for the child process was supposedly non-existent (yet I knew that my test program could access that address without any problems). VERY strange. I put in a sleep in the gdb code in the right place, and examined the process table. The child process which I expect to be my test program was actually a zsh. VERY strange. I then looked at the code that does the fork in gdb. I saw that what is forked is not a new process running the test program, but a shell exec-ing the test program. The penny dropped. The test program was *not* what was being ptraced - a zsh was being ptraced instead. Anyway - this is a result of forking off a shell instead of a process running the test binary. I removed the "exec zsh" from .cshrc, and gdb worked like a charm. The "exec zsh" shouldn't really be in my .cshrc, but I figure that at least some warning should be given about this by gdb. It seems that it's not so much a FreeBSD problem than a gnu problem.

A similar scenario on SunOS 4.1.3 will not cause gdb to crash. I have zsh as my default shell, I add an "exec /bin/sh" to my .zshrc, I try to run gdb and I get no problems. In fact, .zshrc does *not* get executed by the shell forked by gdb, even though I clearly have my SHELL environment variable set to zsh. On FreeBSD, on the other hand, I have csh as my default, and "exec /usr/local/bin/zsh" on my .cshrc. With this setup gdb crashes since gdb's fork executes .cshrc. Something's different about the two gdb's, but I'm not sure what.

Thoguh, when I was using the /etc/sysconfig script to setup my machine as both and NFS server and NFS client (to the world as well as itself -- this was absolutely unavoidable), it would not boot. After some checking I found that the /etc/rc file mounts all nfs mountpoints BEFORE loading the nfs client/server daemons, thereby cutting off the possibility of my machine connecting to itself due to the lack of the nfsd. This struck me as odd, probably an obscure case which could almost never occur. Well, here I am... :> Well, it doesn't hurt anything to put the mount for nfs devices a few lines down (immediately after loading the nfs client/server packages) and I thought it was worth mentioning.

The result is that csh and gdb can make a dangerous combination together. The answer to your question is no. I'm using the same kernel, and the same gcc/gdb as comes with the 2.0.5-RELEASE CD. I'm sure that if you set your default shell to csh, and put in "exec /usr/local/bin/zsh" as the last line of .cshrc as well, then gdb will crash on you, too. Even rebuilding gdb does not help (something I've already tried). I haven't rebuilt kvm, but I doubt it would make a difference. The problem does not appear to be how it's built, but rather how the gdb forks a shell in order to exec the test binary, and what happens when that shell is csh. You see, csh will always execute .cshrc on startup, regardless on whether it's interactive or not. On the other hand, for instance, zsh will only execute .zshrc on *interactive* shells. This means that if your .cshrc has a line saying "exec blah", then invoking "csh filename" will NOT mean executing "filename", but rather "blah" instead. I had "exec /usr/local/bin/zsh" in my .cshrc, so you can see the problem. Yes, you can all shoot me. gdb will fork a shell in order to run its test binary. If that shell is csh, and .cshrc has an "exec blah" line, then gdb is in trouble. It will be forking "blah" instead of its test binary. Is all of this clear? None of this will happen with zsh. It looks very much like a generic gdb problem which appears when combined with csh. I just wish that gdb could be more "user friendly" in giving proper diagnostics or warnings. FreeBSD is completely innocent of all this! I know I can change my default shell rather than having that exec in my .cshrc - but I had it that way since I didn't expect it to cause any problems!

Since my disk controller, which uses a WD chip, won't handle drives > 500Mb or so, I also purchased a card which I believe has a BIOS extension that handles > 500Mb drives. OK...the drive works fine with DOS/Windoze but now FreeBSD won't boot at all from the 420Mb drive. It just sits there...no nuthin. If I remove the BIOS card it works fine. Of course, then the 1.2G drive isn't happy. Will FreeBSD work with LBA drives? Am I just SOL with the big drive? I know...I shoulda went with SCSI but it's a lot more $$. I can get a controller board that handles the big drive but I don't know if it will work either. I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5, I believe. I found an old 386bsd boot floppy from a while back and it boots OK with the BIOS board. Hmm...guess I could go back to 386bsd...I think I still have all the disks... Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

I am having the same trouble with a T4000W32p chip under whatever version of XFree came with 2.0.5 on the CDROM, using the SVGA server. When I move the mouse pointer across the screen it seems to scrape off more of the surface, and there are "holes" as well where letters (e.g. in Netscape) are incomplete. This chip is on a Diamond Stealth 32 card, which is trouble all its own, but I can program the card's dot clocks and get 1240x768 as well as 800x600 and 640x480. I haven't succeeded in making the _32 server work with this video card. Is this a video memory problem, perhaps?

Well the new UNIX version of netscape (due in a few days) is supposed to support Java, dont know about authoring tools though. I'm kind of dissapointed about the lack of real audio clients for UNIX, you can get free (demo) servers, but no option at all for a client !

You got that backwards. FreeBSD supports a thread abstraction to the user, but doesn't support kernel threads internally. Look at libpthreads (pthreads package) for thread support.

It should work to tune a mounted file system. All you are changing is the flags in the superblock for the file system. The tuning you do will only affect policy on new files; old files allocated using the old policy will be left alone.

Sharp - 8800 486 DX4 - 75Mhz 8M RAM 500M HD 800x600 SVGA Screen (major selling point for me) Built in GlidePoint mouse pad (I like this style personally) Built in sound. Bottom line -- $2300 -- I've got the basic system installed. No problem. I had to do it from the DOS partition because the basic kernel does not have any PCMCIA support... so I couldn't use the ether card. I have a few questions for anyone with the FreeBSD running on a laptop. 1) What is the shape of the PCMCIA drivers? Generic? Card specific? 2) The screen saver seems to hang the system. Any clues? 3) Is there a way to install X from the sysinstall program now that I have room on the DOS partition for it? The bin dist is already there. 4) FreeBSD reboots with my Xircom PCMCIA Ether/Modem card in it. I think it is because the card is memory mapped to 0xd200-d2ff. At least that is the exclusion statment required by EMM386 in MS-DOS for the card.

(This is all to the best of my knowledge. I may be wrong. You've been warned. :) You must can only tunefs a dismounted filesystem - so you must do one of a few things: * Boot off a "fixit" floppy that has a statically linked tunefs on it. * Boot off another partition. Personally, I use the second method. In a multi-disk system, I set up a root filesystem on the second disk as well as the first. I periodically dump/restore the root filesystem to the "shadow" root. The only modification required on the shadow root is the location of root in /etc/fstab. This way I can still boot the system to perform maintenance even if my root disk fails. Makes reslicing your root disk easy instead of requiring a reinstall.

The main problem is getting the tuning changes into the in-core copy of the struct so that it effects subsequent operations on the FS in question. The -current code can't do this, so that's why the mount/remount. The fix is to replace the read/write interface with an in/out ioctl() interface. You could just update the in core copy without too much problem, since it's synced to disk on unmount. I did this because I was trying to find optimal tuning parameters for a particular benchmark and got tired of the mount/unmount. If it's all the same with you, I'd like to hack on the logical device management using Julians new devfs once that's all the way up before rolling changes in -- that way I won't have to hack them multiple times after they're committed. I've been hacking logical volume management for partitions, extended partitions and BSD extended partitions (ie: the results of disklabel) for a port, and I'd like to get it all rolled together first.

Hey, speaking of logical volume management, what are the chances of ever seeing a software-based solution for striping, concatenating, and mirroring of filesystems? It needn't be full-blown RAID, but it sure would be nice to have some built-in fault tolerance. Have you seen the disk suite for Solaris 2.4? Something along those lines would be neat.

I've set up tip to connect to a remote host. The connect is done successfully, and I'm able to log on OK. However, when I exit from the remote host, and after tip gets a "NO CARRIER", tip does not exit automatically, and I'm forced to exit manually. Is this normal behaviour, or have I set up my /etc/modems file incorrectly? If tip gets a "NO CARRIER" because of a noisy line, it exits automatically. This makes me think that I may have left something out from /etc/modems.... I don't expect you to tell me what I should put into this file, however I'd like to know whether tip exits automatically for you.

The chances ought to be good; all it would take is work. 8-). When I'm talking about logical volume management, I'm talking about exporting "logical volumes" into the devfs disk device name space. Specifically, logical volume devisions (partitions) and logical-logical volume divisions (DOS extended file systems and the BSD diskalbel, which is almost exactly equivalent to a DOS logical extended partition). Basically this means exporting offset/range records into the devfs name space and causing accesses to apply those deltas and restrictions to the devices. Basically stackable sector translations. If you want to mount a DEC Alpha or PPC drive, you make sure you have a stacking layer that recognizes the logical volume management system in place on the drive. If you want to mount a floppy, you look there, as well (you won't find anything in the typical case, though PPC floppies have a partition table, at least the AIX ones do). Works for multiple sesions on a CDROM as well, and especially well with the new Microsoft CDROM Unicode file name format extensions to Orange Book. Volume concatentation would wok in the same paradigm, though I don't plan to implement it initially (unless I bite the bullet for JFS or NTFS; don't hold your breath for that, though). Striping is a special case of concatenation. Mirroring is a bit more involved. Media perfection should be handled at this level as well, for drives that don't support it intrinsically. Consider that if this is done, then there is not an issue of the bad sector replacements being at the end of the disk, inaccessable by the boot code. Nor is there an issue of the disklabel potentially living on a bad sector (making it unusable). That's all I was talking about.

I recently purchased a 1.2G IDE drive, planning to partition it between Windoze and FreeBSD. I have BSD running off a partition of a 420M drive now with no problems. Since my disk controller, which uses a WD chip, won't handle drives > 500Mb or so, I also purchased a card which I believe has a BIOS extension that handles > 500Mb drives. OK...the drive works fine with DOS/Windoze but now FreeBSD won't boot at all from the 420Mb drive. It just sits there...no nuthin. If I remove the BIOS card it works fine. Of course, then the 1.2G drive isn't happy. Will FreeBSD work with LBA drives? Am I just SOL with the big drive? I know...I shoulda went with SCSI but it's a lot more $$. I can get a controller board that handles the big drive but I don't know if it will work either. I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5, I believe. I found an old 386bsd boot floppy from a while back and it boots OK with the BIOS board. Hmm...guess I could go back to 386bsd...I think I still have all the disks...

If your run it from a DOS disk (boot from that DOS disk) you should be able to run it. I never saw that error 3. It may sound stupid but try it again with the booteasy from freebsd.cdrom.com or a mirror site and do it from a virus clean diskette.

This usually indicates that there is another card in that shared memory area. Try the values 0xc8000, 0xd0000, and 0xd8000...and see if any of those will work for you.

I just realized another thing: Do to the way that these cards are designed, I think there might be a requirement that the shared memory address be on 16K boundry - so you should use 0xc8000, 0xcc000, 0xd0000, 0xd4000, 0xd8000, or 0xdc000. On some motherboards you might also be able to use addresses in the 0xe0000-0xec000 range, but this often does't work. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 6 02:52:35 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id CAA20153 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 02:52:35 -0700 Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id CAA20145 for ; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 02:52:28 -0700 Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin [198.145.90.50]) by Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with ESMTP id CAA27238; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 02:49:30 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id CAA00309; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 02:50:51 -0700 Message-Id: <199510060950.CAA00309@corbin.Root.COM> To: Ed Hudson cc: questions@freebsd.org, elh@spnet.com Subject: Re: kernel options for > 64mby In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 05 Oct 95 23:11:41 PDT." <199510060611.XAA00651@p54c.spnet.com> From: David Greenman Reply-To: davidg@Root.COM Date: Fri, 06 Oct 1995 02:50:45 -0700 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > i hate to ask a question that has been asked and > answered a few times before, but... > > what kernel options/files require modification for > a machine with > 64mby? add this to your kerel config file: options "MAXMEM=131072" ...where "131072" is the size of memory in Kbytes - in the above example, this would be 128MB (128*1024).

Can you tell me what version of FreeBSD you're running? I think this is caused by a page table page being paged out during a very narrow window when a new process is being forked. I added some checks in the fork code that should cause the machine to panic earlier if this is really the problem. During the entire operational time of wcarchive (about 2 years), I've seen the above panic a total of _1_ time...so I can't say that I haven't seen it, but I do think it is very rare. I'll add it to my whiteboard so I don't forget about it. I don't know if I'll be able to fix it before the 2.1 release, however, as it might require an architectural change to fix...but I will look into it. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 6 03:16:53 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id DAA21127 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:16:53 -0700 Received: from mail.telstra.com.au (mail.telstra.com.au [192.148.160.10]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id DAA21121 for ; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:16:48 -0700 Received: from mail_gw.fwall.telecom.com.au(192.148.147.10) by mail via smap (V1.3) id sma003475; Fri Oct 6 20:14:58 1995 Received: from cdn_mail.dn.itg.telecom.com.au(144.135.109.134) by mail_gw.telecom.com.au via smap (V1.3) id sma011020; Fri Oct 6 20:14:34 1995 Received: from amalfi.trl.OZ.AU (amalfi.trl.OZ.AU [137.147.99.99]) by cdn_mail.dn.itg.telecom.com.au (8.6.11/8.6.9) with ESMTP id UAA10748; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 20:14:33 +1000 Received: from orca1.vic.design.telecom.com.au ([145.136.55.131]) by amalfi.trl.OZ.AU (8.6.10/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA21457; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 20:14:25 +1000 Received: from netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au by orca1.vic.design.telecom.com.au with SMTP (1.37.109.4/16.2) id AA07082; Fri, 6 Oct 95 20:14:20 +1000 Received: from netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au (netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au [144.139.63.32]) by netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au (8.6.8/8.6.6) with SMTP id SAA08001; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 18:13:57 +0759 Date: Fri, 6 Oct 1995 18:13:56 +0800 (WST) From: Terry Dwyer To: Richard Kuhns Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Hylafax/faxgetty under FreeBSD-2.0.5 In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Thu, 5 Oct 1995, Richard Kuhns wrote: > Is anyone using this?

Whether or not you have paging enabled isn't a problem. The problem is that some (Compaq) motherboards will happily generate an NMI if the parity isn't read back correctly for non-existent memory. The only correct way to do this is to get the correct size by asking the BIOS in the correct way for it. We have code that will do this, but it bloats our bootblocks to the point that they won't fit anymore. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 6 03:32:00 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id DAA22273 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:32:00 -0700 Received: from swissbank.swissbank.com (swissbank.swissbank.com [146.180.1.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id DAA22251 for ; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:31:52 -0700 Received: by swissbank.swissbank.com with UUCP (4.1/BK-1.9) id AA23093; Fri, 6 Oct 95 05:34:15 CDT Received: from il.us.swissbank.com by gatekeeper.swissbank.com with SMTP (8.6.12/BK-1.12) id FAA03324; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 05:29:29 -0500 Received: from ln1d278nwk by il.us.swissbank.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA15966; Fri, 6 Oct 95 05:30:50 CDT Received: by ln1d278nwk (NX5.67d/NX3.0S) id AA14275; Fri, 6 Oct 95 11:30:40 +0100 Message-Id: <9510061030.AA14275@ln1d278nwk> Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.112.1.RR) Content-Type: text/plain Mime-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 3.3 v112.1) From: Armando Ferreira Date: Fri, 6 Oct 95 11:30:33 +0100 To: davidg@Root.COM Subject: Re: Help !

I did it before paging to avoid having to fiddle with pagefaults, (YUK) but I could handle ignoring NMI traps. (i.e. just set a flag saying it happenned and return) I'd say the correect way is to probe memory.. :) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 6 03:34:32 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id DAA22508 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:34:32 -0700 Received: from Root.COM (implode.Root.COM [198.145.90.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id DAA22489 for ; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:34:27 -0700 Received: from corbin.Root.COM (corbin [198.145.90.50]) by Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with ESMTP id DAA27390; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:32:55 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by corbin.Root.COM (8.6.12/8.6.5) with SMTP id DAA00456; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:34:16 -0700 Message-Id: <199510061034.DAA00456@corbin.Root.COM> To: armando_ferreira@il.us.swissbank.com cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Help !

It's best to have the soft configuration match the kernel configuration. In fact, you have to do this for the irq & port address. The shared memory is programmed by the driver, however, so the card setting of that doesn't matter. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 6 03:35:32 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id DAA22612 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:35:32 -0700 Received: from gw2.att.com (gw2.att.com [192.20.239.134]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id DAA22607 for ; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 03:35:29 -0700 Received: from mltsa.mlm.att.com by ig1.att.att.com id AA22624; Fri, 6 Oct 95 06:34:23 EDT Received: from counterfix (counterfix.mlm.att.com) by mltsa.mlm.att.com (4.1/EMS-1.1.1 SunOS) id AA01415; Fri, 6 Oct 95 11:34:58 BST Message-Id: <9510061034.AA01415@mltsa.mlm.att.com> Date: Fri, 06 Oct 95 11:34:57 0100 From: Gustav B West Organization: AT&T X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (X11; I; SunOS 4.1.3_U1 sun4c) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Does FreeBSD 2.0.5 support a Mitsumi quad speed CD Rom drive X-Url: http://www.cdrom.com/support_page/freebsd_support.html Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Delacom Ltd, 71 Ormonds CLose, Bradley Stoke North, Bristol, England, UK Home tel: (UK)01454 884469 Work tel: (UK)01666 832685 Home email: Gustav@delacom.demon.co.uk Work email: gwest@mltsa.mlm.att.com Dear Support, I have just ordered FreeBSD 2.0.5, single release from you.

Okay. There reason why I originally inquired about this is because I recalled from SVR4.0 that it was possible to tune a mounted filesystem (hmmm... maybe that was SunOS4.0.3??... Im not sure which).

It's best to have the soft configuration match the kernel configuration. In fact, you have to do this for the irq & port address. The shared memory is programmed by the driver, however, so the card setting of that doesn't matter. -DG From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 6 04:38:39 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id EAA25171 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 04:38:39 -0700 Received: from swissbank.swissbank.com (swissbank.swissbank.com [146.180.1.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id EAA25166 for ; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 04:38:37 -0700 Received: by swissbank.swissbank.com with UUCP (4.1/BK-1.9) id AA24954; Fri, 6 Oct 95 06:41:09 CDT Received: from il.us.swissbank.com by gatekeeper.swissbank.com with SMTP (8.6.12/BK-1.12) id GAA05381; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 06:36:27 -0500 Received: from ln1d278nwk by il.us.swissbank.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA17839; Fri, 6 Oct 95 06:37:52 CDT Received: by ln1d278nwk (NX5.67d/NX3.0S) id AA14303; Fri, 6 Oct 95 12:37:46 +0100 Message-Id: <9510061137.AA14303@ln1d278nwk> Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.112.1.RR) Content-Type: text/plain Mime-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 3.3 v112.1) From: Armando Ferreira Date: Fri, 6 Oct 95 12:37:42 +0100 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Appologies - Please ignore last mail - cc by accident Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk > One thing I got bitten on recently.. some new PCs have an option in the BIOS "Shadow ram hole" (or similar) this must be set to ON and at the address of your card, otherwise these 'oversmart' PCs will map shadow ram over your card (which won't work) [...deleted] Armando.

Are you trying to make it work with the BNC connector? If so, it's broken in 2.0.5, but you should be able to take the driver from -stable and use it. I applied a fix that someone supplied and it works great. Other than that fix it works great on my system. Also, it has to be a 3C589B since the older revision isn't supported.

The machine in question is running 2.0.5-950622-SNAP. I am using it as a News Server, NFS Server, Mail (POP & SMTP) Server, Samba Server, and for storing some source code with RCS. All work very well except for the following... The problem is with our RCS files, every few days, one or two rcs files appear with 1024 null characters in it, overwriting a block of valid data in the file (loads of these - ^@^@^@^@^@^@^) ouch ! The RCS tree is NFS mounted on a number of various unix platforms, and people check-out and check-in the files on these platforms (over NFS). Could the problem be related to NFS file locking problems, or is it a symptom of some other form of filesystem corruption. My setup is as follows P5-90 (running 2.0.5-950622-SNAP) 32MByte Memory Bus Logic BT946 PCI SCSI controller. Seagate ST15150N 4GByte SCSI Disk ( RCS tree on this disk) Quantum VP32210 2Gbyte SCSI Disk SMC PCI Network card (Digital DC21040 Ethernet chip) Any help (or workarounds) would be much appreciated.

The controller uses LBA ("Logical Block Addressing" or what the rest of the world has called "sector offset" since Winchester drives were invented). This is a BIOS abstraction that plugs in at INT 13 and INT 21, though not all software uses the extended INT 21 interface. So the drive looks like a standard C/H/S addressed drive with an 8G limit to most DOS software. To take full advantage of this, you will need to have a new driver. Here's your opportunity to get into kernel hacking. All us long time hackers use SCSI. The reason that the 386BSD boots is that it uses a controller-specific boot block and does controller level instead of BIOS level I/O. The 386BSD boot won't work on translate geometry, though, unless you use the whole drive for 386BSD and don't have a DOS MBR (it will get lost when it tries to locate the partition when it multiplies the C/H/S values for the partition it wants to boot by the wrong geometry). FreeBSD still has (I believe) WD and AHA 1542/1742 boot blocks that you *could* write using disklabel. Still assuming no DOS partition table on the drive. A secondary issue is that you must have partitioned the drive with a modern DOS, since older DOS pur the wrong sector offset in the partiton table (a 32 bit value corresponding to the 24 bit C/H/S address).

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I've read a few messages here lately about people having unexplained crashes and have been thankful that I've not seem to much trouble. I've become increasingly convinced, however, that I AM having trouble: Approximately every two weeks, my mail/NIS/WWW server crashes with no warning, and leaves nothing in the messages file to indicate what the problem is. My system is: P/90 with 48 megs ram, NCR 825 SCSI controller, 1.2 gig SCSI-2 drive, 4 gig SCSI-2 WIDE drive I'm running a 2.1-STABLE kernel on a 2.05-R installation. It's a NIS master for another FreeBSD box, where users' home dirs are actually located. The home dirs off of the second box and an RS/6000 are NFS mounted. People can read their mail while at other machines by running an imap (pine) or POP3 (eudora) client, or they can telnet in and use pine locally. Quotas are in place on the partition mounted as /var/mail . Any ideas/theories/silly_notions why my box might decide to reboot every 2 weeks? Other than this fluke, it works great. thanks, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Oct 6 12:35:46 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id MAA11246 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 12:35:46 -0700 Received: from znet.groupz.net (znet.groupz.net [204.116.90.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id MAA11237 for ; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 12:35:37 -0700 Received: from async13.groupz.net by znet.groupz.net with SMTP (1.37.109.14/16.2) id AA274547940; Fri, 6 Oct 1995 15:32:21 -0400 Received: by async13.groupz.net with Microsoft Mail id <01BA9371.ACA82C40@async13.groupz.net>; Thu, 5 Oct 1995 22:26:54 -0400 Message-Id: <01BA9371.ACA82C40@async13.groupz.net> From: Bill Henderson To: "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: PS/2 mouse HOW ??

No kernel panic In this case , it's vital you get a kernel with DDB in it so that if it freezes again, you can get into DDB and do a ps, as well as other likely things.. At one stage my dmesg's were carrying over between boots which was great because I could capture all the info on the next boot Not sure when this started or of it works with your machine.....

Not that I am one to complain or anything, but since ftp.cdrom.com upgraded to an FT-3 I would have expected all the limits to be broken, but instead it looks like there are more in place. Its none of my business, so I don't want to offend anyone. But I remember the older ftp.cdrom.com that ran off a T-1 had 192MB of ram and supported 500 users. Now it seems slower, is running on 128MB ram [hardware, I know] and has a T3 which strikes me at the very least, as somewhat ironic. -Jerry.

Are you doing potentially simultaneous updates? The problem is that RCS doesn't support this; use CVS instead (it's built on top of RCS). If you get multiple updates, a second problem will surface; there is no NFS lock support, so updates over NFS could interfere with each other (and in fact will cause zero-filled pages if one client updates an area following another clients update of the area just previous). Either use a multiple reader/single writer interface to obtain write access in the first place to prevent collisions, or use the newly released CVS client/server code (get it from the CVS home site; it's in the CVS readme in ports).

The floppy boots fine but fails to detect the second IDE controller (which is used to control the CDROM). I have a 100MHz Pentium (Triton chipset) with 2 IDE controllers on board. The first controller has my 2 hard disks connected to it and the second has only the CD. The CD works fine under DOS and when the driver is loaded for it the controller is detected at 170H, IRQ 15. When I boot FreeBSD I get wdc1 not found at 0x170 Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I've read the supported hardware list in the FAQ, but I still had a few questions: The Cyclades 8/16 port card is listed as "" in the FAQ. By looking at the -current source tree, I noticed considerable work has been done on the driver since 2.0.5 was released - will this driver be stable enough for general use by the 2.1 release? Is the alpha Digiboard driver usable? The only 16-port card not listed as alpha is the Boca card. Should I just go with Boca then? Any recommendations and/or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks! Matt Day PS: Please respond directly to mday@artisoft.com, because I'm not subscribed to the freebsd-questions list. If there's interest, I can post a summary of the responses I get.

Currently I have dos on a 80meg partition. In the past I had Debian Linux on the same drive, and the partition names were fairly easy to remember. Now, in bsd's fdisk, I'm at a loss for what to do. Fdisk reports the following: offset size end name PType Desc Subtype flags 0 59 58 - 6 unused 0 59 164197 164255 wd0s1 2 fat 6 = 164256 893024 1057279 - 6 unused 0 > I'm guessing that the dos drive is the second line. And that the remainder of the drive (formerly linux) is the third line. The nameing conventions in linux are fairly easy; hda1 - hda4 are primary partitions, hda5 - logical partitions. I'm only using a single drive, and I have no desire to overwrite the dos partition. My questions are: What is the naming sequence for a single IDE drive? When in fdisk, should I start on the third line? (offset 164256)? If I choose the "entire disk" option, will only the space starting at offset 164256 be affected, and treated as a single partition; dos=80meg, bsd=the rest of the drive? One other question, whats the best partitioning layout for freebsd? In linux, I had the following: dos /dev/hda1 dos 80meg linux /dev/hda2 / 16meg /dev/hda3 swap 16meg /dev/hda4 extended /dev/hda5 /usr 180meg /dev/hda6 /usr/local 120meg /dev/hda7 /var 32meg /dev/hda8 /home 70meg Those numbers worked fine, and the partition names were easy to work with. Also, with the numerous Linux books available, partitioning information is widely available. The freebsd faq's, the work_in_progress Manual, etc, don't really seem to describe a straight forward approach to partitioning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apache is in the FreeBSD >ports collection. Works great. A note that probably isn't with apache; the proper syntax to use with ifconfig alias is ifconfig inet www.anglelinear.com netmask 255.255.255.255 alias (we put the extra ifconfig's in rc.local right before the startup of apache) (and that address is real). An advantage of putting these ifconfigs that late in startup is that the dns is running by then so the addresses can be symbolic. (look at www1.clubnet.net or www.macom-phi.com for others of the virtual servers on that machine) AND - routing doesn't seem to work right if any of the IP addresses in a set of aliases is in another subnet. (we tried to handle a IP change from a provider block to our own CIDR by routing both in the router (which works fine) and aliasing the nameserver to both subnet addresses. UDP fails completely and TCP sometimes does.) If anyone know how to make *that* work it'd be nice... What we ended up with was separate boxes temporarily; it's nice that it is so easy to shadow nameservers (news is a little harder since we don't have 9g drives running out our ears. :-(. -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Oct 7 16:57:06 1995 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id QAA03152 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 7 Oct 1995 16:57:06 -0700 Received: from gw.wmich.edu (root@gw.wmich.edu [141.218.1.100]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id QAA03141 for ; Sat, 7 Oct 1995 16:57:04 -0700 Received: from piglet.cc.wmich.edu (piglet.cc.wmich.edu [141.218.20.105]) by gw.wmich.edu (8.7/8.7) with ESMTP id TAA04252 for ; Sat, 7 Oct 1995 19:57:01 -0400 Received: from wmich.edu by wmich.edu (PMDF V5.0-4 #5064) id <01HW65UUP2NU8X4ARO@wmich.edu> for questions@freebsd.org; Sat, 07 Oct 1995 19:57:00 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 07 Oct 1995 19:57:00 -0400 (EDT) From: -=WireHead=- <31butkiewicz@wmich.edu> Subject: Term Emulation To: questions@freebsd.org Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, I have FreeBSD up and running and when I telnet to various places they don't seem to like the "cons25" setting of my gettytab.
