Hi list, After a few updates from 4.4 through 4.8 using csvup, I want to update /stand/sysinstall et al in case of emergency. cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall && make all install works as expected, but only updates the stand binary. Allthough it's only a single binary, how do I build and install boot_crunch to /stand without building and figuring out a complete release-build? And, as

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 After a lot of effort I decided to stop suffering and modified the program in order to circumvent the outdated limit of 65535 cylinders (see attached patch).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

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

Hello everyone - I run bind version 9.8.2 on CentOS 6.5. The daily logwatch run sends me the following items.

All: I'm posting this to FreeBSD-security (rather than FreeBSD-net) because the problems I'm seeing appear to have been caused by spyware, and because they constitute a possible avenue for denial of service on FreeBSD machines with default installs of the operating system. Several of the FreeBSD machines on our network began to act strangely during the past week. Some have started to

the other day i was trying to create a new freebsd slice on the same disk i booted from (on a freshly updated RELENG_6) and both fdisk and sysinstall failed with some error (i think they could not write on the disk, or something similar). boot -s did not seem to help, either. I remember vaguely some time ago a bit of discussion on this topic, but cannot recall the outcome nor any keyword to

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).

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

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

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

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 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

Hi all ! I searched newsgroup archive prior to ask this newbie question, did not find any answer; I am trying to install wine (20020122) on FreeBSD (4.5) I have 2 problems: 1. When I do installation from port, I am getting errors like "undefined reference to .." To memset, getuid, memcpy, strcat, strcpy etc .. 2. When is is finally built and installed, I can run wine itself but I can

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. I'mjust doing a Standard installation and when FDisk loads I get: Disk name: ad0 DISK Geometry: 88 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 1413720 sectors (690MB) So I go and manually change the drive geometry with the G option and

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

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
