Well, it was already working around some bad sectors to begin with. What exactly do you mean by "failed"? When it boots, does the bootloader see the disk? You should see a line like "disks: fd0 hd0". > I noticed no network, and no cd, > for 2 or 3 boots, then no booting (failed mid boot...) late last night it > started working again, but no network! > I have no idea how to troubleshoot this > either... When I do ifconfig ne1, I get " o such interface". This is, uh, bizarre. Does this corelate with what you're seeing in dmesg? boot_i386(8) and/or http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#pciideErr and/or http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html#PCI may be of some use here. > Im also getting > soft errors on wd0 Does it also switch from, say, UDMA mode 2 to UDMA mode 0, or "degrade" in some other way? My guess is that the disk is going bad, and is really confusing the system (interrupt timeouts and whatnot). > well... I can play Mp3's and I can > still use windowmaker....

You have to "sh /etc/netstart". > On Sunday 20 January 2002 18:57, you wrote: > > I've been messing with sendmail && virtuser stuff ...

Actually I was trying to check out sorceror.wox.org, but it was timing out before it would send any data.

FLAVOR is one of the OpenBSD additions to the ports system. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
