similar to: is stable stable yet?

I've included all posts till now. Can I ask anyone with older proliant multi-cpu hardware using the smart2 controllers to get in touch with me? I am curious to know if this works for anyone... -D Quoting Danny Carroll <fbsd@dannysplace.net>: > Still more info... > It does not work on 5_0-RELEASE either. > > -D > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Danny

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

Sorry to reply to myself, but I wanted to expand this to -stable and add some more info... See the original post at the bottom of this msg. I just took the Smart 2/P and put it in slot1 (one of the shared Eisa/PCI slots.) Now the Dmesg output shows the "SMP: AP CPU" lines in a different order... They were: SMP: AP CPU# 3 Launched! SMP: AP CPU# 1 Launched! SMP: AP CPU# 2 Launched! now

Hello, When I run portupgrade -ra and PHP needs upgrading I am faced with having to select all the options I want PHP compiled with (again). I hate this. How can I continually compile PHP with the same options as the last time? Thanks! Rick

Hello, I am very new to FreeBSD and just installed 4.8 release. I want to upgrade this to stable. I have printed some of the pages out for makeworld and CVSUP, I am wondering what the best method for doing the updates are, downloading the individual packages and installing or using the CVSUP to do this? Currently I used mostly Red Hat Linux but have wanted to give this a try for some time

Hello all, well, the first problem i got is lsof wont work. I got the message "lsof: WARNING: compiled for FreeBSD release 4.3-RELEASE; this is 4.8-STABLE." Then I tried to to cvsup and rebuild world. The file i used is /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile and tag is RELENG_4. After a few hours i got 4.9-PRERELEASE :( Next time i used RELENG_4_8 tag and got 4.8-RELEASE-p4 :((

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

hi guys, i have version 4.8-STABLE running. i've just update my stable-supfile and building, recompiling my custom kernel, my question is: if im going to cvsup my stable-supfile again, and compile the customed kernel again, do i have to: make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster again or just make buildkernel KERNCONF & make install KERNCONF? hoping for your reply guys, thanks.

I'm still kind of hung up looking for some definitive answers on this issue. Perhaps you guys can help me out? Frank Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 17:55:33 -0500 (CDT) From: "F.

I am a newbie trying to get the most current Stable version of FreeBSD running. I have been using CVS to update my system, but things don't work after an update. For example KDE 3.1 (from KDE 3.0) doesn't start using startkde. I am looking for instructions on the best way to Install the lastest version of FreeBSD-Stable and how to Upgrade the system in the future. Thanks.

Got a pretty stupid question... My kernel is now 4.8 Stable#1 but when does the number change when i do makeworld and the other things? or where can i see that?

When I try to start X, I get the following. Any help here? I track stable via cvsup, sup'd on 4/29/03, and cvs up the system having problems, which is running FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libm.so.2: Undefined symbol "__stderrp" objdump -r /usr/lib/libm.so.2 show the symbol __stderrp. What library resolves that and why is it not defined? Daryl Spartz

Hi, I have dovecot 2.0.20 running (its an old version, I know, it came from the stable archive at OpenCSW) with Solaris SMF integration working fine. It enables and disables okay. However, I cantt connect to it, it is allowing the connection, but spewing on permissions: Nov 24 17:34:20 proliant-1 dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.info] master: Dovecot v2.0.20 starting up Nov 24 17:34:27 proliant-1

Hello, I installed 4.8-RELEASE a few weeks ago, and since I let the effort sit stagnant for a while I decided to do the cvsup/buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld/mergemaster/MAKEDEV steps to get current. Went fine, rebooted, then noticed that just one CPU was recognized: FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Thu Jun 19 17:05:20 PDT 2003

I'm looking at ordering a server from HP. I checked around on Google and found in the Wiki that the ProLiant DL380 is supposed to be known to work with *.

Hi. My bad, but I have not been tracking the -stable list and I just updated -stable on a production machine. It seemed to work just wonderful, as normal, for about 10 minutes then it started to deny connections and when you run commands, it would just hang. I have done a reboot and fsck everything. It is up now but things are still strange. Here's the output. I just updated -stable at

Yesterday I begin a couple of update to the latest 4.8-STABLE. After that the two boxes continues to go in panics as soon as Apache (1.3 from the ports, also freshly recompiled, 2.0.x seems NOT to hang) starts. I don't know if it is related to the other thread : "Kernel core dump in recent 4.8-STABLE" but it is easily reproducible by cvsupping to a today -STABLE and then running
