miniBSD vs 6.2-STABLE
I now have my target PXE booting from my FreeBSD host (chalk one up to not writing config files at ungodly hours of the night, thanks to Danny for spotting the error.) The boot is proceeding to the boot menu but after this the kernel freezes; With acpi.ko in the image the acpi module loads, the next spinner appears and the system freezes. Without acpi.ko I get the message ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory, the next spinner appears and the system freezes. My kernel is a stripped GENERIC, essentially minus a bunch of network drivers (the driver for the adapter in the machine is still there ;o) ), and all the SCSI controllers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is this embedded system booting with a standard monitor and keyboard attached, or via serial console? What you are seeing seems to remind me of a system that is configured to display boot output via video when there is no monitor connection (from my own MiniBSD work with the Soekris NET4501 and PCEngines WRAP platforms). -Proto ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MP-Safe quotas for RELENG_6
Hello, I backported the MP-Safe quotas patch for RELENG_6. Besides what the title said, it includes several fixes for quotas operation. I would commit the patch based on the users feedback, assuming the re@ would not object. Please, test it. http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/quotagiant/quotas-RELENG_6-20070623-1455.patch Draft version of commit message: MFC: part of rev. 1.412 of sys/kern/vfs_syscalls.c: Remove explicit calls to lock and unlock Giant and replace them with VFS_LOCK_GIANT/VFS_UNLOCK_GIANT calls. MFC this for quotactl only. rev. 1.433 of sys/kern/vfs_syscalls.c: Busy filesystem around call of VFS_QUOTACTL() vfs op. rev. 1.289 of sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_vnops.c: Remove unneeded getinoquota() call in the ufs_access(). rev. 1.83 of sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_lookup.c: Call getinoquota() before allocating new block for the directory to properly account for block allocation. rev. 1.30 of sys/ufs/ufs/quota.h rev. 1.327 of sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vfsops.c rev. 1.93 of sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_quota.c: Implement fine-grained locking for UFS quotas. rev. 1.205 of sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c rev. 1.328 of sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vfsops.c: Mark UFS as being MP-Safe in options QUOTA case too.

RE: PXE booting issues
Morgan, I had much better luck using PXELINUX to chain-load FreeBSD. I wrote up an article on the subject (http://web.irtnog.org/doc/how-to/freebsd-install-pxe-wds), but the corresponding blog entry might make for a shorter read (http://web.irtnog.org/~xenophon/blog/archive/2007/04/22/struggling-to -boot-freebsd-from-pxelinux). Obviously, you aren't using WDS or RIS, but the principle is the same. Best wishes, Matthew -- Rogues are very keen in their profession, and know already much more than we can teach them respecting their several kinds of roguery. - A. C.

acpi_smbus_read_2: AE_ERROR on mac pro
I have -STABLE (amd64) running on an 8-way Mac Pro system. It's all working great except I get the following message on the console every couple of seconds. acpi_smbus_read_2: AE_ERROR 0x10 I've (google...) found one comment about Freebsd and the Mac Pro that includes this message in it's dmesg output but doesn't actually mention it. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems but I'd just as soon fix whatever it's whining about. Is there some central site for freebsd on intel mac's? Is this error familiar to anyone? g. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: dumping large partition to USB drive fails
It's probabry your disk is dying based on your output. I've being using GELI for while, i.e. like a year, with dump/resotre, too. I never had problems with dump/restore. My disk also failed recently with very similer messages.
