So, I've long known and it makes sense that when you're booted from a ZFS volume, you can't mess with the boot-loader. And, I know a few months ago I had a set of commands I would use when booted from a CD that would initialize the network and copy the "release/boot" from somewhere else so that I could install bootblocks and boot-loaders from more recent code. Sadly, I

We have upgraded a box from 6.2 to 6.3-RELEASE. Afterwards the box does not recognize its ST Lab I-160 serial card with Netmos 9845 Chipset. It worked flawlessly on 6.2 with puc(4) driver. >From dmesg: pci1: <simple comms, UART> at device 8.0 (no driver attached) ~# pciconf -l -v | grep -B 4 UART none2@pci1:8:0: class=0x070002 card=0x00041000 chip=0x98459710 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00

I'm getting the following warning, and then the system locks: ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [(bunch of spaces)] - 0x29, should be 0x48 Here's a pic: http://db.tt/O6dxONzI System is on a SuperMicro C7X58 motherboard that I just upgraded to BIOS 2.0a, which I would like to stay on if possible. I tried adjusting all the ACPI related BIOS settings without success. Bryce

Hi all, A recent thread inspired me to try getting a proper serial console working on a Supermicro X9SCL motherboard with IPMI. However I find that while I see loader messages and the getty I enabled after boot I don't get any kernel messages which does somewhat limit the utility.. The BMC creates COM3 (/dev/cuau2) which works with getty. I modified /boot/loader.conf like so..

Hello, while checking new mtu9k-setup, I discovered that ping has some odd behaviour. If I use payloadsize > 4067, every 2nd icmp-echo-request seems to be malformed: ping -s 4068 -D 10.5.49.65 1st: 12:21:09.048447 IP 10.5.49.126 > 10.5.49.65: ICMP echo request, id 46597, seq 0, length 4076 0x0000: 4500 1000 0f2d 4000 4001 a507 0a05 317e 2nd: 12:21:10.052891 IP 10.5.49.126 >

Hello, I have not had much time to research this problem yet, so please let me know what further information I might be able to provide. This weekend I attempted to upgrade a computer from 8.2-RELEASE-p3 to 8.4 using freebsd-update. After I rebooted to test the new kernel, I got a panic. I had to take a picture of the screen. Here's a condensed version: panic: page fault cpuid = 1 KDB:

Hello there, I've got a question about SATA. I've got ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 with ICH7.

Hello, There it is, all my computers on FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE had panic. I can just say there is a problem in the 9.1-RELEASE because I had no panic before. What afraid me is that my production server also panic'ed a few days ago, fortunately it does not appears so often. This is a panic that happened on my desktop computer, with a graphic card. The crash usually appears when X starts. GNU

Hello, I tried to get my sound working, and long story short: rc.d/sysctl parses sysctl.conf wrongly if there are sysctls of the form mib=val1=val2 which is what you need for sound. For reference I needed/wanted dev.hdaa.4.nid25_config=as=1,seq=15 dev.hdaa.4.nid31_config=as=1 I believe the following patch would address the incorrect parsing: --- /etc/rc.d/sysctl.old 2013-02-27

Hi list, I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.1-Release amd64 on a Supermicro server: SuperStorage Server 6027R-E1R12N with Intel Xeon E5-2640 CPU and 32 GB (4 x 8 ) KVR16R11D4/8HC installed Currently I have only 2 SSD Kingston drives (working in mirror) installed on that server. during booting installer from the ISO CD (amd64), the boot process fails with message: Mounting from

Running 9.0-Stable on an i386. Whenever I type a command at the prompt I get the output /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.9: Undefined symbol "_ThreadRuneLocale" and nothing else - the command will not run. Just the above output. Commands like "ls" and "exit" work, but not much else. This happends whether I am logged in a user or as root. Cannot even halt the system from

When using svn 1.8 I have come across a situation where when it is used pointing to a symlink that refers to a working directory that a update will either segfault or exit prematurely and leave a lock held on the working directory that the symlink points to. This leaves you with one choice but to run cleanup on the referenced actual working directory which was AFAIK never the case for any version

Hello, I have been struglling with sysinstall, attempting to make it handle the geometry of some large SATA drives. After a lot of effort I decided to stop suffering and modified the program in order to circumvent the outdated limit of 65535 cylinders (see attached patch). I'm thinking about submitting a PR with a change request but I'd like to get some additional opinions first. I did

...wrong. Do not do this. Ever. This file is actually "managed" by either mergemaster or installkernel/installworld (I forget which). Use /boot/loader.conf for any hint overrides/adjustments. Leave /boot/device.hints alone. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Hi all ! Thanks for the very good support of Dell R320 hardware, perc H310 is well supported, BCM5720 seems to work correctly and performances are great. The only problem i have found is very strange. The FreeBSD bootloader take many times to load, 30sec-2minutes to boot the kernel and show the bootloader menu. After that, the system boots properly, at a normal speed. Is there any issue or

I can't seem to get my serial terminal to work with my new system. I had a serial terminal connected to my old system that worked great and copied /boot.config, /boot/loader.conf and /etc/ttys settings over from it. The new system has a Gigabyte GA970A-UD3 board with just a serial header on the board. I bought a serial connector backplate in an electronics store and connected it to the

Hi I installed the following driver. http://www.f.csce.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki//software/freebsd-nfe.html Before I had the nve driver which was unstable on this server and on a prior server in both cases causing either spontaneous reboot or just a crash when under load. So far touchwood the nfe driver has stayed up and running at almost 3 days uptime and has had some stress. I know the driver
