kernel config: sound device with or without quotes
Hello, In /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES is the list of supported sound devices. I get confused by the pressence and absence of quotes here. Are these quotes only decoration, or really needed. For example: device snd_ad1816 device snd_cmi If they are needed, it confuses me why one sound device needs quotes, and another doesn't? How does that affect the use of loading them in /boot/loader.conf? How about following two: snd_ad1816_load=YES snd_cmi_load=YES Is that OK? Thanks, Rob. __ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!

Re: Can FreeBSD be installed on DellPowerEdge2800 ?
Yeah, I cam across that on some mailing list archives, but saw some additional references that this can cause issues with the amr driver.

You need to decide whether to compile all devices into the kernel, or load some as kernel modules.

ueagle(4) driver merging
Hi, I wonder how is the FreeBSD team looking on the driver ueagle written by one Damien Bergamini. It is a ADSL modem driver which connects using USB, a quite popular solution in Poland, and France as well, aparently. Is the idea of FreeBSD to merge such driver as a hack to the umodem code, or to stay in tune with Damien's solution and merge the whole driver? I would really like to see such a driver supported inside of the FreeBSD system itself since it would make me feel much more comfortable using a somewhat FreeBSD oficially supported code than third party patching. Here follows some more information regarding the project: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ueagle/index.html Cheers, -- Mateusz Jdrasik [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For hysterical raisins, config(8) parses bareword arguments to device as
perl
($device_name, $device_instance) = /([a-zA-Z_]+)([0-9]*)/;
/perl
The double quotes force the first entry to be treated as a device
snd_ad1816, rather than the 1817th instance of snd_ad.
How does that affect the use of loading them in
/boot/loader.conf? How about following two:

Yes. The loader has a different parsing algorithm:

and

I have seen cases where the parent process never exits because the child never properly starts. That said, I have never seen this happen on a FreeBSD system, so it may be that you are starting it twice. But this seems a bit unlikely as the second daemon should exit immediately because the network socket is already in use.

I'm just wondering if it has the same problem as linuxpluginwrapper, or bad assumptions about mutexes being recursive or unlocking one you don't own. Most folks I know use the linuxpluginwrapper so we don't have any experience with the native flash player. I think I recall trying it and it not working, hence the use of linuxpluginwrapper. -- DE ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dual booting with Windows XP
Hello everyone: This might sound rather foolish, but I need some assistance on how to dual boot FBSD 5.3 with WinXP. I have to Hard Drives, Windows is in the first drive, and I want to install FBSD on the second. No in the installation process I choose to create the partitions to the second Hard Drive, then it ask me if I want to install the boot manager, to which I answer yes, then it ask me where to install it, and I choose to the First Hard drive, is that ok? well, what happens is that after I choose the installer send me to disklabel to slice the Hard drive, but it show the First hard drive. am I making any sense at all? I thought that installing the boot manager was going to be a straigh forward process, is there anything wrong with what I am experiencing? Any help will be appreciated. Good night everyone ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've just turned on PREEMPTION on the 12-CPU sparc64 machine running RELENG_5 that I've been playing with, and it quickly resets and reboots under load (buildworld -j12). This happens with either ULE or 4BSD, although ULE without PREEMPTION seems to work fine (and perform much better than 4BSD, as expected).

Dear Hackers, on one remote machine I see the following error (RELENG_5 from this night): pcib0: no PRT entry for 0.1.INTA I have only ssh access and putting -v in /boot.config didn't help me getting a verbose dmesg. Anyway, I think it's caused by a bogus BIOS but I wanted to make sure having it reported. Last version was RELENG_5 from Nov. 5th and I also had a ACPI error but more detailed.
