To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 6 Jun 1995 21:40:24 +0930 (CST) Cc: jkh@freefall.cdrom.com Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1516 Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Firstly, a caveat - my dists are about a week old, as pulling that much stuff on a daily basis is a no-no 8) With the 5/6/95 19:00 install images, prettymuch everything is a goer. Jordan, something to add to the Hardware FAQ - I have a video card that wedges IRQ 9 in text modes, and thus 2/9 is a bad choice for network cards. This is non-obvious. "Q: When I try to (FTP,NFS) install, all I get are ed0: device timeout messages. Your software is impossible to use! ( 8) ) A: Is your network card using IRQ9? If so, try moving it to another IRQ, as some video cards will interfere with IRQ9. " (sorry) Having just exterminated cron (by unmounting /usr from under it 8) I have determined that /usr has been created with the wrong permissions. (022 is a bit bizarre 8) This leads to all sorts of unpleasant (and insidious) side effects. Any idea why the root filesystem is being mounted as /dev/sd0a rather than /dev/sd0s4a? Also, if the network link (as I mentioned in my last message) is down, routed dumps core at startup. I don't really expect that this will be fixed in -RELEASE, but it's worth knowing. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
