.. will be Monday, March 9th.  That means all general merge work and
general sysinstall hackery must be done by 1:00PM PST on that day so
that we may enter the BETA test cycle and start regression testing.
Daily snapshots of the BETA bits will be made available as usual in
ftp://releng22.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD.

The BETA period for 2.2.6 will end on the 24th of March at 1:00AM PST,
e.g. just a little after the 23rd of March has ended. :) I will be
tagging the tree in preparation for 2.2.6 release at that time.

Actually meeting a planned-in-advance deadline would also be a new
thing around here and I'm going to do my darndest to see that it
happens for once. :-)

	So I take it we're not going to wait for XFree86 R6.4?  According to
the ftp site they're planning wide release by the end of march. Or
perhaps we're part of the inner circle they mention? :)

I believe the next XFree86 release will still be based on X11R6.3.

	Nothing personal because I don't know you, but one of the worst things
you can do on a technical list is guess. Please confirm your facts

Subject: problems with de driver for quad card

Hi! All, 
  Please forgive me if this question has been asked before on the
mailing
list.  I want to report a problem we are facing with the driver for the 
Zynx ZX346 Quad PCI ethernet card.  When two of these cards are
connected
back-to-back (in two Pentium II PCs) the configuration seems to go
haywire.
The cards come up complaining that autosense failed and if I use
ifconfig
to set the media type to 100baseTX on both ends, I get connectivity but 
I have problem with bidirectional traffic.  Ping seems to work fine, but
doing a TCP bandwidth test using ttcp fails because packets are being 
dropped on the point-to-point link between the two cards.  (Fails means
the TCP bandwidth is only about 0.8 Mbps or so).  Another problem is
that
I cannot get the link to operate at 10 Mbps.  If I set the media to
10baseT/UTP,
the interface reports that it has 'no carrier'.

I have repeated the exact same tests with Windows NT 4.0 and everything
seems to be fine (TCP bandwidth of 93 Mbps).  
Everything is also fine when one end of the link is a
Dec Alpha workstation with a 100 Mbps ethernet interface (not the same
quad board).  The problem only happens when two quad cards are connected
back to back in FreeBSD PCs.

The problem seems to be due to misconfiguration of
full-duplex/half-duplex
operation.  The list of supported media types for the de driver does not 
include 100baseTX <full-duplex> and 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex>.  What is
the
reason? (the hardware supports full-duplex operation)

The version of FreeBSD we are using is FreeBSD 2.2.5.  We also see this 
problem with NetBSD 1.3.  It is not suprising since the driver is the
same.
I had posted this message on the NetBSD mailing list a month ago and got
no
reply.  Hopefully I will have better luck this time :-).  If anyone out
there
has tried the quad cards in a back-to-configuration (using a null-cable)
and
has encountered similar problems please let me know.  Any suggestions on
how
to tackle this will be greatly appreciated.  Please reply directly to
prashant@cs.cmu.edu.

  Thank you.
    -prashant

PS:  The exact ifconfig command we use to bring up the interfaces as
100Mbps
is:
ifconfig de0 192.200.51.1 255.255.255.0 192.200.51.255 media 100baseTX
up

I don't know the answer to this yet.  We'll have to see.

I agree, uninformed guessing can be a bad thing.  What guess lies
behind your claim that XFree86 3.3.2 will be based on X11R6.4?  Just
because it's available internally to consortium members is by no means
a declaration that the XFree86 project intends to track it in their
upcoming point release of 3.3.2 and, in fact, I'd say that it'd be a
very bad guess indeed to assume such a thing. :-)

Ah, the joy of rash assumptions....

FYI - XFree86 v3.3.2 is still based on X11R6.3, you can verify by
checking the release notes included in the .tgz's.

Also, www.XFree86.org claims they have no scheduled release date for
version 4.0.

Now here's my assumption: this is most likely the first based on X11R6.4
;-)

Michael!

Nothing personal, but aren't you rather confusing the Open Group and
the XFree86 Project Inc?

XFree86 is primarily developed and distributed by the XFree86 Project
Inc.  The code is, of course, derived from that of the Open Group.
But, it does not necessarily mean that the latest release from the
XFree86 always matches the latest release of X11.

In fact 
http://www.camb.opengroup.org/tech/desktop/x/r6.4doc/relnotes/relnotes.htm
mentions XFree86 3.3.1 which was released in Aug. 97 and is based on 
X11R6.3pl2.

You had better check out the XFree86 web site:
    http://www.xfree86.org/
rather than the Open Group's, for the latest information and status
of XFree86.

The de driver is broken regarding the media selection. (PR 4841).
I had some email exchange with Matt Thomas concerning this but
haven't heard from him for approx. 2 month. I gave it up now and
will keep on using the old version 1.54.2.6 which works for
my SMC 8434BT.

	Please don't assume I don't know what I mean. I asked the question I
wanted to ask. What I should have made more clear is that the open
group's ftp site was the one I was referring to.

	Nope, sorry I wasn't more clear.

	I did, and there was no mention of anything beyond 3.3.1. Anyway, I've
spent all day arguing with a pita solaris machine, and I am too tired to
really give a rip. My apologies for any offense.

No joy. Something I neglected to mention was that I can go into the 
appropriate directory and run the 'make clean' by hand it works with no
problems. It looks as though I'm hitting some sort of resource limit,
but I can't find where.

Very odd.

If the next CDROM release of -stable is intended to be a 4 CD monster,
would it be possible for the insert to give detailed instructions
and information to dummies like me about what exactly each of the
CD's are used for?

I mean, I got to understand the "live file system" CD back in the
good old 2 CD days.  And I always enjoy the challenge of finding
(or not finding) the unpacked source distribution. But when the
2.2.5 release came out I did't have a clue about what to do with
my 4 CD riches...

Yes, that's already planned along with updated installation
instructions.  The next booklet will be a total rewrite, essentially.

Michael,

I didn't see it at first, but now I do: global is contribified in -stable,
so there shouldn't be ANY program source files under src/usr.bin/global. 
I just built it here without any problem.  The question is, what's up with
your sources?

I'm not sure how you are updating your sources, but you should use CVSup.
See the FreeBSD Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org for instructions on how
to do that.  If you are ftp'ing the CVS repository, that is a sure way to
run amok - retrieve that with CVSup as well.  If you are updating your
tree with CVS, you must say 'cvs update -Pd -rRELENG_2_2' in /usr/src.

Regards,

Nothing.  I pulled src.tar off

I can't because there's a networking bug in FreeBSD 2.2.5 that
makes network writes fail (duly reported).   That's actually the
*reason* I want to compile stable at all---I have a faint hope it's
fixed there.  Catch-22 dadadadadaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'm fairly certain the FAQ and handbook are automatically built for the
distribution now.  There was a flurry of commits (by Jordan) some time back
to make this possible.

	I'll second this.  I installed 2.1.5 to my new 6x86 box
	no problem.  Except for X.  With my new 2.2.5 (very stable)
	after perhaps 6 hours and as many retries, zip.

	X fails.  I can't find the VGA-16 driver.  The release
	fails to boot in any fashion, although this may be a BIOS
	config problem.

	Debian was almost pushbutton on my 0th and 2nd SCSI; so
	X does work with my Matrox vcard.

	This is my 3rd CD set.  Should be the simplest, but isn't.

	If there are any FBSD gurus in the Seattle area willing
	to help out, I'll buy ya a beer.  In fact an entire case!

True - the descriptions on the last CD sets weren't entirely accurate ;-)
I only just discovered the 'missing' packages on the fourth CD.  Is there
really not enough room on any of the CDs for the whole packages
collection?  And what colour is the cutesy little daemon fellow going to
be this time?

Subject: problem compiling stable yesterday.....

i have been having some trouble compiling 2.2.5-stable on this machine for
the last couple of days.  originally i was getting signal 11s when a "make
buildworld" was run.  so, instead of trying to figure out exactly what the
problem was i just deleted everything in /usr/src and used cvsup to put it
all back.  then i did a "make world" and everything was going along just
fine so i went to bed.  this morning i checked and i saw that the machine
rebooted itself.  the machine is running stable from around jan.29th and
it has always compiled stable without any problems and i have never had
any problems with it.  does anybody have any ideas or do i need to RTFM?
thanks.......

Subject: RE: is xntpd working in -STABLE?

[ David: Sorry for the blank reply, my mouse got hyper for a moment :-) ]

David,
	Funny, I just started working on this yesterday.  I don't have a complete 
answer for you, but here are some data points:

1)	Yes, xntpd DOES run on -stable (cvsup'ed and "make buildworld 
installworld" within about the last week).
2)	I had the same symptom - the '-d' did no good either.
3)	With all the variables I was trying, I'm not sure exactly how I got it 
working.
4)	I had to make sure to open my firewall (I was also setting up ipfw for 
the first time) for udp port 123 (I know this is obvious, but it may or may 
not be the cause for the lack of output even w/ '-d').
5)	I used 'ntpdate -d' to get some more information when it was failing 
(and am running it now at bootup).
6)	My drift file is empty, but I manually created 
/etc/ntp.{conf|drift|keys}. (I am still working on this).
7)	From /etc/rc.conf:

ntpdate_enable="YES"            # Run the ntpdate to sync time (or NO).
ntpdate_flags="-bs ntp.ctr.columbia.edu"        # Flags to ntpdate (if 
enabled).
xntpd_enable="YES"              # Run xntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO).
xntpd_flags=""                  # Flags to xntpd (if enabled).

8)	From /etc/ntp.conf (minimal):

server ntp.ctr.columbia.edu
peer ns1


	I didn't get to read my mail early today, so you may have already got this 
working.  If not, let me know if I can give any further information.

Err, exactly what _is_ the live filesystem used for? I guess it could
be mounted to give all the binaries if I ever have to boot from a
rescue disk. But I've been lucky so far.

What exactly do you use the unpacked source distribution for? I tried
using the union filesystem to mount it so I could build directly off
the CD. But union is broken so I ended up having to copy the source
onto a harddisk anyway. Same with the CVS repository, you can't use
it on the CD and have to copy to harddisk. Also it seems faster to
extract the compressed tar files from the CD than to copy the unpacked
version.

So I never got the point of wasting all those CDs. :)

Cheers.

Subject: PCI LKM support: Need test results under 2.2.5 [se@FreeBSD.ORG: Re:
PCI LKM's?]

***********************************************************

I'd ***really*** love to see PCI LKM support make it
into 2.2.6, but there is a problem, and I need help
from users of FreeBSD-2.2.x.

If you are intererested in this feature, then please
build a patched kernel, and let me know what you find!

***********************************************************

I had sent the message below to Danil O'Conner a few weeks
ago, and he reported a problem with the *first* PCI device
not being attached by a kernel compiled with this patch.

The LKM code itself worked at a time (nearly one year ago),
but there might be some unexpected side effect of the diffs.

Since I do not have a 2.2.5 system to test this on myself
(and since I'm short fo spare time), I'd appreciate more 
feedback about this set of patches. I did not touch the
interrupt registration code, at least not knowingly :)

Please let me know, whether a kernel compiled with this
patch attaches all PCI devices. It will either work, or
fail when probing for devices (best if you try booting
with -s and just check for diagnostics at the start of
the PCI probes).

Ok, since you offered to test the code, I've appended 
the diffs to /sys/pci/{pci.c,pcibus.h,pci_ioctl.h} and
to /usr/src/usr.sbin/pciconf/pciconf.{c,8} as separate
attachments. Please apply and test them ...

(As I explained before, I don't have any 2.2.x system
to test them on. I compiled pci.c with those patches,
and found that one chunk had gone to the wrong lines,
causing a syntax error. This is fixed in the patches
I'm sending, but I'm a little worried, that it might
have happened in other less obvious places as well ...)

Well, unloading LKMs should be possible, and I could 
add support for that, but I didn't at the time, since
I felt that the rest of the kernel wasn't yet up to it.
AFAIK, there is no locking in place currently, which 
would prevent unloading a busy driver.

If you have support for a shutdown function in your
driver, then I could call that, and thereafter remove
the driver from the list of known PCI devices in order
to prepare the unload.

Only, if unloading of PCI LKMs is supported, I'm afraid.
If you need it, I can see what I can do within a few days,
though I'm very busy and can't promise anything, currently.
