Hi, According to the webpage [1], 6.1 has been branched on April 5. However, I noticed that there is a tag called RELENG_6_1, not a branch called RELENG_6_1. For example, sys/conf/newvers.sh [2], rev 1.69.2.11, is on RELENG_6 branch with tag RELENG_6_1_BP and RELENG_6_1. It is a bit strange for me. At least, we have RELENG_X_Y branch before and RELENG_X_Y_BP tag. Is there any special reason that

Hi, I have strange problem when booting FreeBSD-6.x in HP Proliant ML370 G4. The problem is "-" appears on the screen and it never boots unless somebody hits the "Enter" key. Sometimes even PS2 keyboard doesn't respond during that time. Tried with USB keyboard, same problem. The machine has dual Xeon 3.2 GHz, 1GB of RAM and LSI Logic (mpt-5.0.5.20.00 bios) LSI1030-IT

Hello, I'm trying to upgrade from 5-stable to 6-stable; after rebooting to the new kernel, the amr(4) module (amr.ko) refuses to load with this message: link_elf: symbol cam_simq_alloc undefined However, a quick nm(1) on /boot/kernel/cam.ko does show: ... 0000f0ac T cam_sim_set_path 0000efc4 T cam_simq_alloc 0000efd4 T cam_simq_free ... and cam.ko is already loaded before amr.ko.

Hi all, I'm trying to find out if UDF support can be added to 4-STABLE. The web page http://people.freebsd.org/~scottl/udf/ says that such a thing can be found at http://www.softweyr.com/asmodai/projects/udf, but the latter URL is broken. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Warren

Hi all, Can anybody point me at the UDF code for FreeBSD 4-STABLE? There's a link at http://people.freebsd.org/~scottl/udf/ to some code, but the website (http://www.softweyr.com/asmodai/projects/udf) doesn't have the code any more. Many thanks in advance! Warren

Hi, We bought a new Dell PowerEdge 2950III with Perc 6/i and have the disk geometry problem using 6.3 final or 7.0 RC1. Seems that we are not alone at least one guy has similar problem reported earlier: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2008-01/msg00506.html I was reading the mailing list and found that some of the people are happily using this hardware with the latest

Can anyone tell me if/when the Adaptec AIC9410 SAS/SATA controller will be supported? Michael Grant

Greetings, out of fun and to investigate claims about alleged bgfsck resource hogging (which I could not reproduce) posted to news:de.comp.os.unix.bsd, I pressed the reset button on a live FreeBSD 5-STABLE system. Upon reboot, fsck -p complained about an unexpected softupdates inconsistency on the / file system and put me into single user mode, the manual fsck / then asked me to agree to

We're having problems with FreeBSD 5.4, 6.0, and 6.1 and an ICP Vortex GDT8546RZ 4 port SATA RAID card in a Tyan S2460 system with dual AMD Athlon MP 1600+ CPUs. We do not have any problems with this configuration under FreeBSD 4.11, and we have the same ICP cards in Tyan based Opterion system (S2882 and S4882) run with out problems under FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.1. We can reproduce the problem on

Dear FreeBSD users and system administrators, While the FreeBSD Security Team has traditionally been very good at investigating and responding to security issues in FreeBSD, this only solves half of the security problem: Unless users and administrators of FreeBSD systems apply the security patches provided, the advisories issued accomplish little beyond alerting potential attackers to the

All, Now that 5.3 is about to be released (really, I mean it this time!) and 5.x is considered -STABLE, further 5.x discussions and bug reports should migrate over to the freebsd-stable mailing list. I know that after 4+ years, there is probably a lot of sentimental attachment to freebsd-current, and some of you probably have never seen a branch go stable yet, but just like watching your kids

Hi All, I am trying to use the auth_generator package and am having problems with the GD requirements.
