First off, I am newly subscribed to this mailing list and apologize if some of the following issues have already been covered. I've scanned the messages from the past few days, but you never know... I just performed a 'clean' install of 5.0-BETA2, and have encountered a few issues which may (or may not!) be considered as 'bugs'. Relevant system specs are as follows: AMD Athlon MP 2100+ 1GB RAM (1) WD 120GB (model #WD1200BB-00CAA1) UDMA100 IDE hard drive (1) WD 80GB (model #WD800BB-00CAA) UDMA100 IDE hard drive I dual-boot with Windows XP, and FreeBSD has been installed on the second 80GB drive. Issues encountered: 1) Sysinstall warned that the detected HD geometry was wrong, and used a 'more likely geometry' in fdisk (which was the correct geometry, AFAIK) 2) Upon executing 'newfs' to format the drive, a bunch of messages spewed across the install screen like this: S:63 = (0/1/1) E:135813509 = (ff/fe/ff) S:135813510 = (ff/ff/ff) E:156296384 = (ff/fe/ff) 3) The 'krb5' and 'ports' distributions failed to install over FTP from ftp://ftp5.FreeBSD.org. I noticed in a prior post to this list that the krb5 distro was folded into 'crypto', which appears to be correct. However, sysinstall still looks for 'krb5' separately and issues an error when it can't be found. 4) After installing the 'crypto' distribution, the following error is visible in the debug window (ttyv1). /stand/gunzip: failed fclose Aside from these issues, which may or _may not_ be problems, the install went rather well. One more note: when I boot my system, the very first kernel message that I see is: stray IRQ 7 This did not occur in FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, I wonder what has changed? irq7 is used by my parallel port, which has a printer attached (lpt0). That's it. :) I'm sorry if this message sounds like I'm nitpicking (I'm not!), but I just wanted to do my part to help make the next release as stable and problem-free as possible. Feel free to request any additional information, and thanks in advance for your help... Regards. Mike _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
