similar to: fxp damages dmesg?

I've spent the past four days or so updating machines here to 4.8/9-stable via cvsup, and have done a complete make buildworld/kernel on each machine (some SMP, some single processor). It seems something is broken with the latest fxp driver, on each machine (different mobos and hardware configs) heavy network traffic with fxp NICs causes timeouts and random kernel panics. First machine to

I have 3 older pentium-3 systems (asus cubx, asus cusl2-c) that give a "boot failed" message when trying to boot with extlinux on a flash card (which uses an ide converter, so it looks like a regular ide hard drive to the os & bios). These worked fine when I used syslinux & fat16. If I take out the flash card & ide converter and put it in a newer p4 system, it boots fine.

Hi, Whilst doing some QA work on XORP on my desktop, which has fxp0 and msk0, fxp0 got totally hosed. I was running PIM-SM and IGMPv2 router-mode on the box at the time. I wonder if this is related to the problems with fxp multicast transmission I saw back in April. I'm a bit concerned about this as fxp is still a very widespread and useful network chip. I am running

Hello, after upgrading my system from 7.1-RELEASE to recent RELENG_7 I noticed stalled network transfers in certain cases. I have an Intel PRO/100 ethernet adapter (card=0x00408086 chip=0x12298086 rev=0x0c). In general networking works fine. I can ping hosts, surf on websites and so on. But if I send large files (>1 MB) to my server the transfer stalls after a few kilobytes. This concerns FTP

Okay, no one had any idea concerning my Radmin question, which I still haven''t figured out. However, I am now trying to figure out an FXP problem. All of the needed details are listed below the description problem. Problem: I have a local windows XP pro computer running FlashFXP behind shorewall 2.0.9 (unpatched) with only two interfaces (ppp0 and eth1) as loc:192.168.1.5. The server

Hello again :) With POLLING enabled I experience about 10%-25% performance drop when copying files over network. Tested with both SAMBA and NFS. Is it normal?

I'm a newbie with a TDM11B. I've read the FAQs about linking /usr/src/linux-2.6 to /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521 and /lib/linux-2.6 to /lib/linux-2.6.8-1.521 but still get a million errors and eventual abort during compile. Could someone point me in the right direction? I do a yum update every day and I'm using the CVS from 9/14/04. I'm also using an ASUS CUSL2 system board.

I have a Samba Domain Controller running on a Windows/Linux hybrid network. Actually, the network is in a state of transition right now and I'm occupying my time by planning its re-design. So, assume that when I set it up again, I'll be using the latest release of Samba (or any previous release you may recommend). Now, to the point... A couple of the Windows clients on this domain will,

Hello All, I seem to be having a problem with PXE under the 3com MBA once the pxe loads the standard redhat 7.2 lilo prompt and I type my label which is a4-72 and hit enter, I get: Loading vmlinuz... and it stops most of the time. Sometimes it loads and once it gets to the part of installing linux the screen turns red and I get "interrupt handler not syncing" Thanks -- Otis DeWitt -

Hi all I have a rather odd problem that I hope somebody can shed some light on. I have a Asterisk server (1.0.7) that is connected to a Cisco 2600 router (c2600-is-mz.122-28a) fitted with an E1 card. The E1 is configured for QSig and is conencted to our local Ericsson MD110 which goes out to the PSTN. We have a DID range assigned to the E1 and can make and receive calls from/to SIP attached

i'm trying to use timo's postfix-2.1.2-dovecot-auth.patch on freebsd4 with postfix-2.1.4 the problem is that smtpd_sasl_glue.c tries to include stdint.h which isn't present with fbsd4. is there another lib that'll provide the same functionality? i've tried using inttypes.h but i don't know of any other similar ones stdint is in fbsd5 apparently but i'm still

Dear All, I have a FreeBSD box running 5.4-RELEASE-p8.

Hi, I'm having strange performance problems with samba and an application written with VisualFox Pro. This application is entirely installed in a Windows share and it has a hystory of strange phenomenons. Initially it ran fast on an old NT server (but that server has been replaced). It has strange performance problems with Windows 2000 Server: it runs fast with some servers and slow with

Hi, I noticed that my 4.8R box seems to have a NFS problem. I use a FreeBSD/i386 4.8R box as a NFS server, and a FreeBSD/i386 5-CURRENT (as of today) as the NFS client. On the client, /a (on the server) can be mounted successfully with -o rw,bg,intr,mntudp options. However, when a large amount of write operations such as "cp -r /home/ncvs /a" are performed on the client, the

Hi, I got a few centos 5 boxes installed for tests and find the following confusing messages from ?dmesg? command: Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole Memory: 4043392k/5242880k available (2397k kernel code, 150460k reserved, 1222k data, 196k init) The machine has only 4GB memory chips installed only, so where comes the number ?5242880k? for memory?

These xm info, top, dmesg and log requre no parameter. But log''s error message differs from other 3 command''s error messages, when parameter is given. # xm log 1 Error: ''xm log'' requires 0 argument. log Print the xend log Other 3 commands ignore parameter. I think it might be better symmetricalize. Signed-off-by: Yoshinori

dmesg is reporting ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/10 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/14/00 ata1: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } ata1: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound } My HD disk is on /dev/sda1 so I presume this is errors from the CDROM. Is there a command I can use to not do anything with the CDROM? It was just there for install. This is an older machine running 4.4 i686 . Its also

Hi.
