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

I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3 p5 last night.

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

Hi I installed the following driver. http://www.f.csce.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki//software/freebsd-nfe.html Before I had the nve driver which was unstable on this server and on a prior server in both cases causing either spontaneous reboot or just a crash when under load. So far touchwood the nfe driver has stayed up and running at almost 3 days uptime and has had some stress. I know the driver

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 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 -

We have upgraded a box from 6.2 to 6.3-RELEASE. Afterwards the box does not recognize its ST Lab I-160 serial card with Netmos 9845 Chipset.

Greetings I am having trouble with suspend/resume on my Thinkpad X31, running 7.0-STABLE as of April 23. Any help would be appreciated. First problem: When I run "acpiconf -s3" from mulituser mode, the system suspends immediately, without executing /etc/rc.suspend (which has mode 755); then on resume, I get a panic. Second problem: When the system panics, I don't get a dump (or

Hi there, I have been looking at a system which has the Intel ICH7 south bridge. Whenever I try to probe the SMBus on this system with 'smbmsg -p', I get a lot of status=41 timeout messages in dmesg from the ichsmb(4) driver. I have been given the addresses of the SMBus peripherals and have tried initiating reads to their register space directly using 'smbmsg', with the same

Hello All, I mentioned a problem with this once before, and was referred to other threads that also talked about this. But I believe a recent problem I was experiencing, may have been related to this: [: -le: argument expected. So I'd like to bring it up again, in hopes that someone might have a cure. Specifically, two printf()'s are sent to the same line, which results in a /very/ hard

I'm cvsupping 4.8-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE. The cvsup run finished about 23:32 on 7/13.

1. I have a realtek network card and am using a cable modem router. Does anyone know if fixes for problems with these (see below) have been backported from HEAD to RELENG_7? 2. Is this a good time to upgrade to RELENG_7? 3. I read a post last week that advised that 7.1 is a long way off. Appreciate any advice on use of ULE 3.0 and ZFS prior to 7.1 and a comment on what is holding up 7.1. Thanks

Hi list, I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.1-Release amd64 on a Supermicro server: SuperStorage Server 6027R-E1R12N with Intel Xeon E5-2640 CPU and 32 GB (4 x 8 ) KVR16R11D4/8HC installed Currently I have only 2 SSD Kingston drives (working in mirror) installed on that server. during booting installer from the ISO CD (amd64), the boot process fails with message: Mounting from

So, I've long known and it makes sense that when you're booted from a ZFS volume, you can't mess with the boot-loader. And, I know a few months ago I had a set of commands I would use when booted from a CD that would initialize the network and copy the "release/boot" from somewhere else so that I could install bootblocks and boot-loaders from more recent code. Sadly, I

Hello, I have not had much time to research this problem yet, so please let me know what further information I might be able to provide. This weekend I attempted to upgrade a computer from 8.2-RELEASE-p3 to 8.4 using freebsd-update. After I rebooted to test the new kernel, I got a panic. I had to take a picture of the screen. Here's a condensed version: panic: page fault cpuid = 1 KDB:
