Hi folks, I'm moving a server over to amd64 in the next week or so and I'm preparing the RAID1 disk set with the 64 bit ports as we speak. I came across a nasty little bug whilst doing so. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-K8U with a ULi SATA controller and AR0 set up as a RAID1 array using FreeBSD pseudo-RAID (ULi's metadata isn't supported). So far, so good. Then into sysinstall

I'm cvsupping 4.8-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE. The cvsup run finished about 23:32 on 7/13. After make buildworld, make buildkernel, mergemaster -p, make installworld, and mergemaster -v, I do (per mostgraveconcern, RIP): cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make clean make all install The 'make all install' gives errors: In file included from keymap.c:40: keymap.h:4436: `keymap_be_iso'

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 After a lot of effort I decided to stop suffering and modified the program in order to circumvent the outdated limit of 65535 cylinders (see attached patch).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

Hello there! Here's my story, hopefully some of you won't follow my steps and avoid some troubles :) Yesterday I've decided that's about time to test zfs functionality on my home server PC (i386 FreeBSD 7.1-pre) . A couple of weeks ago I bought new desktop PC (with SATA), so I had a bunch of PATA disks from old one to use in server. Lucky me - there was 3 HDD at size 40GB -

I've got a new supermicro server I'm trying to get FreeBSD on. It uses the Intel c602 chipset, and it's my understanding that support for that chipset (c60X) was recently added via the isci driver. Ok, great, that explains why 8.2-R and 9.0-R didn't see the drives. So, I grabbed the memstick image of 8.3-RELEASE that is on the ftp server, booted it up, and sure enough, as the

Hi, I would like to follow 4-stable on my FreeBSD box, and i can't fetch binaries from /stand/sysinstall. Can anyone help me? Here is how i did: 1) I installed 4.8-RELEASE from CD, 2) I used cvsup to upgrade. For this i used the stable-supfile as shown in the Handbook. => My OS version as shown by 'uname -a' and '/stand/sysinstall' is "4.8-STABLE". It

I used /stand/sysinstall/ to get a package I tried every USA ftp and some England ftp sites Only to get the message Can't find the 4.8-stable ..... Is it because it's called 4.8-release at the ftp site? or Other... Thank You, Doug

After installing a text-based development environment via /stand/sysinstall (followed by CVSup, makeworld/kernel etc to 4-8-stable), I realize I want to install KDE, too. I initiated this with: pkg_add -r kdebase followed again by CVSup etc. Apparently that wasn't enough. Am getting message "XFree86 setup utility.. not installed" when trying to config xf86config (text-based) via

Hi, all I need building my own install server and want install my custom world, custom kernel and other in non-interactive mode. With 6.1-beta3 it work in mass (I not try install my kernel). With 6.1-beta4 and more fresh I can't get non-interactive installation. 1. I can't find how to select timezone non-interactive. 2. I can't good variant for installing my own kernel (now I use

Hello, I recently did a 'make world' to update my base system due to the realpath bug. After that finished, I noticed that I still had the following statically compiled binaries laying around that did not get updated during a 'make world'. I track 4-STABLE. /usr/bin/miniperl /sbin/mount_kernfs /sbin/mount_devfs /sbin/modunload /sbin/modload /sbin/ft /stand/boot_crunch /stand/find

Hey folks, So what's the word on AHCI and bios drive geometry? I'm having a real pain of a time trying to get some 750gb sata drives running on my FreeBSD7 box in AHCI mode. It doesn't seem to matter what disk geometry I suggest to sysinstall, something complains of an invalid disk upon booting it. Actually, in AHCI mode the bios screen doesn't report any information on

Hi, I have a Compuke Proliant 5000 I would really like to use FreeBSD on When I boot to CD or floppies using 5.1 I get all the way to: "/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0" but the machine then locks up hard. When I boot to CD or floppies using 4.8 I get nothing. The machine won't boot to a 4.8 CD (that works in another machine) Any ideas on what to try next? TIA Rick

I went from 4.6.2 to 4.8 via cvsup I can't get any of the ports to compile only a bunch of error messages I rebuilt sysinstall, made my ports current with cvsup, the new kernel via /usr/src what did I miss??? Thank You, Doug

I would like to customize our store-bought, bootable FreeBSD CD so that it does a non-interactive (or minimally interactive ;-) install. The interim solution we've devised has our lab execution techs booting from a CD and then using the Sysinstall "Load config file" menu option to load an "install.cfg" file from a floppy. We'd like to eliminate this step by

I am trying to do an install of portupgrade. As root, I go to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade and run make install distclean The system seems to obtain the pkgtools and some upgrades to it, but is unable to obtain the required bdb1-0.1.8.tar.gz. I have also looked at the collection at the freebsd site and tried the ftp site myself

I've built RELENG_4 isos no problem, is there a trick to building the RELENG_4_8 isos? I am building the 'miniinst' disk - that is, with the release, docs, and a port tree, but no ports. This is so I can do a fresh install without having to update the world... I am using a script that looks like this... #!/bin/sh rm -rf /usr/obj cd /usr/src make -DNOCLEAN world kernel cd

Hi, is the above supposed to work? I tried to follow what is written in the installation manual: unplugging the keyboard does nothing, booting with 'boot -h' gives me all the kernel's device probing messages on both the serial console and the normal console, but after 'mounting root from ...' sysinstall appears on the normal console. harti

Hello, I didn't recieve a response on freebsd-mobile, so I'm trying here. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE or 5.0-RELEASE onto my Dell Inspirion 8100.
