Generally good results, except for the reboot I just posted about...
Here are a few problems I had and general comments.
1) The graphical console screen saver is very nice!
2) Where's the tcpdump port/package -- missing?
3) If I switch the console to 43 or 60 line mode with vidcontrol, "man" and
other full-screen progs don't automatically pick up the correct number
of lines like they did in 3.0-RELEASE. They assume 25-line mode.
vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv0 -f 8x8 cp866-8x8
vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv0 132x43
vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv1 132x43
vidcontrol < /dev/ttyv2 132x43
I have to fiddle with "stty rows" and hand the console the right number.
4) Arrrg! The Afterstep package has Penguin icons for xterms.
Where's Chuck?! (see attached)
5) options.i386 is missing:
AWE_DEFAULT_MEM_SIZE opt_sound.h
6) I didn't find a man page for ld.so, despite what man page for ldd says
(this may be an artifact of the missing ld.so in compat22 on the German
FreeBSD CD I downloaded).
7) wcd0 became acd0 in the kernel config file, but we still mount wcd0c. (?)
Is this an oversight? It's in the default fstab for example.
Also, the kernel config and build doesn't fail with the wcd0 device in
it; but the CDROM doesn't work after booting on that kernel.
8) (Nit) Boot-up probes spelling error:
"bt_isa_probe: Probe failled for card at 0x330"
9) rc.firewall - if firewall_type is a file, it feeds each line in it to
ipfw.
BUT ipfw doesn't toss comments, so you can't document your firewall
commands, and this IMO isn't a good option. If rc.firewall tossed lines
beginning with "#" this would be a nice way to go without having to hack
rc.firewall. As it is, I made this add to rc.firewall:
elif [ "${firewall_type}" = "custom" ]; then
. /etc/rc.firewall.rules
10) There was no ports_update package in the packages dir when I downloaded.
I found a reference to this in DejaNews, and grabbed the /usr/ports/Mk
tree from ftp.freebsd.org. It worked, but what should users really be
doing?
~/t3/afterstep-stable # make install
"/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2: Could not find /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
11) When copying directory trees between two IDE drives on the PCI
bus, the system really dogs down -- emacs takes 15 seconds to come up
when normally it takes 1 -- didn't do that on 3.0-RELEASE.
12) Why do we see lpt0 probes twice:
lpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
lpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
My kernel config for the new ppbus scheme:
device ppc0 at isa? port "0x3BC" tty irq 7
device ppc1 at isa? port "0x378" tty
controller ppbus0
device lpt0 at ppbus?
device lpt1 at ppbus?
13) 3.2-RELEASE still locks the system hard when a file system is mismounted,
just as 3.0-RELEASE did:
# mount /dev/wd4s1 /mnt
- fails with incorrect superblock (it's a FAT partition)
# mount -t msdos /dev/wd4s1 /mnt
- locks the system hard
14) I repartitioned and labeled a slice on wd4, and each time Fdisk
succeeded and Label failed the first time ("Invalid Argument"). Then,
after I exited sysinstall and restarted it, Label and Newfs worked --
strange. I repeated this procedure twice -- same results.
15) /opt/bin/xanim.2.70.1 +Ze +B +CF4 +Av10 -geometry +100+100 fox.mov
ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libgnumalloc.so.2.0"
Something missing from the compat libs. I pulled it off my 3.0-R
partition on another disk.
16) So, how do I try a splash screen? Nothing in the FAQ or handbook
on the CD, and only "pseudo-device splash" in LINT. I've got it
in my kernel config, but no splash.
I'll browse the mailing list archives.
