Dear colleagues, experimenting with new amd64-based router we found strange re(4) behaviour when working in autoselect media mode: whenever promisc mode turned on, renegotiating occurs, leading to 3 to 45 (depending on STP settings on the switch) network unavailability. Moreover, some other re(4) setting changes seem to disturb link state unneededly (such as ifconfig re0 -vlanhwtag) The most

Colleagues, 3 of 4 times this machine failed to boot, panicing somewhere in late kernel initialization phase (before /sbin/init is executed) I have serial console and KDB enabled, so can do experiments. Last two crashes: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x8 fault code = supervisor read data, page not present instruction pointer =

Colleagues, one of my servers had to be rebooted uncleanly and then I have backgrounded fsck locked for more than an our in snaplk: 742 root 1 -4 4 1320K 688K snaplk 0:02 0.00% fsck_ufs File system in question is 200G gmirror on SATA. Usually making a snapshot (e.g., for making dumps) consumes 3-4 minutes for that fs, so it seems to me that filesystem is in a deadlock. Any

Dear colleagues, in the process of upgrading my home router I'm trying to utilise Intel D2500CC mini-ITX motherboard[1]. Both stable/9 and head suffer from no scrolling issue: from the beginning of booting the kernel, all output overrides the last line on the screen, while others keep the loader phase. Provided the board has multiple serial ports and the final target (headless

Hi all, I got a machine with 8GB of RAM and plenty of disk space. I need gvinum to manage big number of file systems but PAE enabled kernel does not compile modules. I couldn't figure out how to get vinum statically compiled in the kernel if that is the way to go. I am running 6-STABLE. Please advise on how to get PAE kernel and gvinum working together! TIA, Stoyan

Dear colleagues, I'm planning to debug usb connection with my new SONY CLIE handheld, and found that this process is much complicated by the fact usb.ko module can not be unloaded 'cause some process is referencing it: marck@revamp:~/tmp> kldstat -v -i 11 Id Refs Address Size Name 11 1 0xc0cf7000 1b000 usb.ko Contains modules: Id Name

I am cleaning up my 4-STABLE system. After a fresh installworld, I am looking at files that did not get touched by the install. Is it safe to remove all such files? In particular, I am looking at /usr/libexec/lib-elf.so.1, which has the schg flag set. I am afraid to remove this for fear of making my system unbootable. Could somebody please reassure me that it is ok to noschg and remove this old

Hello! Is it possible to compile kernel without '-O' option? When my COPTFLAGS=-O -pipe, it compiles fine. When I change COPTFLAGS=-pipe, it breaks: cc -c -pipe -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmis sing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -fformat-extensions -ansi -g -nostdinc -I- -I. -I../.. -I../../../include -I../../contrib/ipfilter

I'm trying to move my drives from the slow built-in IDE controller to a faster PCI card (Promise ULTRA TX2). The boot loader succesfully loads the kernel, and the kernel succesfully probes the Promise controller and the hard disk connected to it. But the root mount fails with error 6, even after I type in "ufs:/dev/ad4s1a" I looked through the kernel config files and LINT and could

I'm trying to install 4.8 from cdrom. I get to the kernel config menu, select the first option, install without configuring a kernel, and the boot process hangs accessing the cdrom. ad0 (the hard drive) is recognized fine. The cdrom does: acd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting ata1: resetting devices .. done over and over. Finally I get to the screen "Probing devices, please

Hello is there something wrong with the mail archive search scripts? I always seem to get 'list unavailable' :-( Anyway - 5_1 on Dell Latitude C640. the vmware3 port installs but the paths are a little odd - isoimages, licences are looked for in /usr/lib/vmware rather than /usr/local/lib.... I installed (w2k) a guest and it is fine but I cannot get networking host-only or bridge modes

Hi there, sorry for rather long mail. Two verbose dmesgs and `pciconf -vl` outputs attached. trying to set up new machine based on ASUS P4BGL-MX motherboard, I'd encountered hangs after detecting pcib1 (ICH2). MB has rl 8100 ethernet chip onboard. This is for 4.8-R; however, machine hangs in very similar way also with 4.4-R and 5.1-R. Matrix of hangs: Onboard Ether External Ether Result

I first met this problem when our (60 students) internetgateway refused to boot its new kernel, it was a 4.7-RELEASE. Then i loaded the old kernel and went home to check if my 4.8-STABLE does likewise. And the answer was yes! Both kernels were GENERIC + these options taken from the dummynet man pages: options DUMMYNET options NMBCLUSTERS options HZ When i boot the machine

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

Well, colleagues, I'm stuck a bit. I tried many different ways to setup system with vinum root (the only reference I found yet besides old "bootstrapping vinum" article is Joerg's commit message: http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/cvs-all_2003/msg01225.html I failed. I have 4-stable system set up at ad0, and tried to set up pair of drives for new system at ad2 and ad3 (actually,

Hi, Recently I've decided to play with gjournal. Main reason was a promise of avoiding full fsck check after unclean shutdown. I've successfuly configured gjournal on existing filesystems (all UFS). And then it happened - my system had a power failure. After boot, it forced me to run fsck manualy. Nothing special, I did it before... But this time it failed on gjournaled disks.
