Removing extra locales

[Andrey Shuvikov]

Hello,

I was installing some software from ports on FreeBSD-7.2 machine and
noticed that a lot of locales (languages) are being installed. But I
definitely don't need all of them. Is there a generic way to tell the
ports that I need only certain locales? Does it make sense to do so or
it's better to keep all of them? Can I just delete extra locales for
already installed software?

I'm using portsnap, and portsnap.conf man page mentions REFUSE command
but there is a warning there that "operating with an incomplete ports
tree is not supported"

Thank you!

hald: kmem_malloc error

[Andrey Shuvikov]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure X and according to the manual enabled DBUS and
HALD. But when hald is starting up I get kernel panic:

kmem_malloc: entry not found or misaligned

Does anyone know what could be wrong? I have memory dump if it can
help but it's big (173M).
I noticed that hald start-up script requires "usbd" but didn't find
any script supplying that. Could it be the problem?

Thank you,
Andrey

Port dependencies

[Andrey Shuvikov]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out port dependencies on my (freshly installed)
FreeBSD 7.0. For example, I have two automake ports:

$ pkg_info | grep automake-1
automake-1.5_4,1GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.5)
automake-1.6.3  GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.6)

I didn't install them myself, so I tried to figure out how they were
installed. But when I run

$ pkg_info -R 'automake-1*'

It doesn't show any dependencies (and I didn't delete any packages
yet). Is there a way to figure out who (which port) installed them and
do I need them both now?

Thanks,
Andrey

Based on my experience FreeBSD loader (slice boot-sector) tries to
load the system from the first FreeBSD (A5) slice it can find. So even
is you press F3 you will load FreeBSD rather than DragonFlyBSD. I
resolved this issue by installing GRUB and temporarily changing the
slice type of the slices I didn't want to boot from. In addition you
can edit menu.lst before rebooting to specify which entry should be
booted next.

FreeBSD usually sets active partition (slice) to itself even if boot
manager is not installed. fdisk can show which partition is active and
allows to change it if necessary.

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a home mailserver with imap/web access. But I was

BDECFLAGS in make.conf

[Andrey Shuvikov]

Hi,

The example make.conf has a comment about BDECFLAGS variable, which is
"suggested for use in developing FreeBSD". But when I tried to use it
"make buildworld" fails ("inline" is not defined). Is this variable
really supposed to be in make.conf, or did I misunderstand something?

This will copy CD to USB sector-by-sector recreating CD filesystem
(ISO-9660) on the stick. I don't think it's what system expects. I
tried to do similar thing some time ago. I don't remember details but
what I did was mounting CD-image and copying files from there to
preformatted USB stick.

Perhaps install the depeendant filesystems (/, /var, /usr) for the two
versions each in their own slices, and share independant filesystems
(/tmp, /home) from a third slice?

When I tried to dual-boot FreeBSD and PC-BSD I noticed that FreeBSD
loader always loads the first A5 slice it can find. I used GRUB to
change the type of the slice I didn't need to something else (for
example, A6, unless you have OpenBSD installed :-)). If Gag can do it
too, it could help.

Re: GRUB / boot easy problems w / USB stick

[Andrey Shuvikov]

On 6/2/07, Fred Davidson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


I am looking for some help to enable booting from a
USB  stick.  After weeks of reading, and
attempting I am at a total loss.  This all began while
I was trying to follow the many excellent tutorials on
encrypting whole laptop disks with GELI[1].  These
tutorials were great except they didn't really cover
how to make the sticks bootable.  Here is some of the
many things I have tried.

Background: My laptop BIOS allows me to pick the boot
order from 7 devices, I set them as follows:

(1) USB Key (2) USB HDD (3) USB CDROM (4) USB FDC
(5) IDE CD  (6) IDE HDD (7) PCI BEV

Attempt 1: FreeBSD Boot Manager

# created a dedicated slice on my 512MB stick with a
#UFS2 filesystem.

(after fdisk)
bsdlabel -Brw /dev/da0s1
newfs /dev/da0s1

# Copied over boot files to usb filesystem.

mount /dev/da0s1 /usb
mkdir /usb/boot
cd /boot
cp -Rpv * /usb/boot

# Placed FreeBSD boot manager on MBR of USB stick.

boot0cfg -B -s 1 -t -v 182 /dev/da0

Problem:  When I reboot the laptop keyboard won't
allow me to select a partition with the F keys.


Attempt 2: GRUB

# make install grub from the ports collection.  copy
#over the files from
#/usr/local/share/grub/i386-freebsd/* to /boot/grub.
 #My understanding was that Grub can read write UFS2
#because of patches since version 0.94.  So on my
first #attempt I made a single UFS2 partition.

mount /dev/da0s1 /usb
mkdir -p /usb/boot/grub
cd /boot
cp -Rpv * /usb/boot
cd /boot/grub
cp -Rpv * /usb/boot/grub


#I invoke the grub shell.  There are two devices in my
#device map:

(hd0) /dev/ad0
(hd1) /dev/da0

# Now if I try to set root in the following ways I'll
#get the following:

grub> root (hd0,0,a)

Filesystem type is ufs2, partition type 0xa5

grub> root (hd1,0)

Filesystem type is unknown, partition type 0xa5

# now before you say it, I also tried (hd1,0,a) but
#this is even worse in some situations. Basically I
#can't get grub to read or write to the USB stick with
#a UFS2 filesystem.  Yet it will read write to the
#UFS2 filesystem of the native disk.  Does anyone know
#why? I have tried grub-install which apparently is
#successful, but once I attempt to reboot, it hangs
#with the word, "GRUB" printed.

Attempt 3: Chainloading GRUB

#This time I though I had it.  I created S1 FAT
#partition and S2 UFS2 partition on the stick.  I
# was able to use setup from the grub shell to setup
#the FAT slice as the location for stage2.  On the
#ufs2 partition I set up the proper /boot setup above.
#I read on an old post and someone mentioned that
#boot2 does "something stupid," and won't work with  a
#chainload scenario.  I tried it anyways, and it
didn't #work.  I had heard that it might work if you
bounce
#boot0 to the beginning of the slice instead of the
#disk MBR so I did.

boot0cfg -B -s 2 -t 182 -v /dev/da0s2

#seemed to go well.  I rebooted, and got as far as
#the F key menu, but again nothing worked, and I
#couldn't boot.  Just to add, I also tried the whole
booting FreeBSD from a FAT partition but that just
plain doesn't work [2].

Well that's where I am.  I can't tell you how much you
will rock my world if you can show me how to fix this.
 These are some ideas I have, but don't know enough to
do anything about:

(1) BIOS issues; from what I understand each computer
manufacturer takes a base bios (phoenix in my case)
and proprietories it up.  I'm dreading that maybe my

BIOS will prevent any of this from working. Doesn't
seem to be documentation anywhere on my manufac's
site.

(2) Bootblocks; Maybe there's some easy modifications
or config files for boot blocks I don't know about?
Maybe there are some alternatives?

(3) GRUB patches; I've been downloading ports from
another PC (no network yet)burning to CD, then
making.  done it twice now.  Is there some wonderful
patch to GRUB that makes it work with FreeBSD I don't
know about?  Do any of you have it working? if so ,
can I copy how you built exactly?

Alright, that's all.  I'm sorry for the length of this
post, it's my first one, and I have seriously dredged
pretty hard on my own for a solution.  Thanks again.

Fred

Some thoughts:

1.  bsdlabel -Brw /dev/da0s1
- What is the option "r"?
- bsdlabel is supposed to create standard label which probably
means creating da0s1a par

Re: Computer hangs on reboot

Hi,

I posted this question originally to freebsd-acpi list but without
much luck. Besides I'm not sure it's ACPI problem.

I have a computer with SIS630E-based PCChips motherboard (M787CL+) and
FreeBSD 6.2 (lately I upgraded to RELENG_6, but it didn't help). The
problem is that when I try to reboot it just hangs. The last line I
see on the screen is "Rebooting...", then some vertical lines move
across the screen (maybe video mode switch or something like that),
and that's it.

I tried to add some debug output to cpu_reset_real() code:

 printf("cpu_reset_real(): before keyboard reset\n");
 outb(IO_KBD + 4, 0xFE);
 printf("cpu_reset_real(): after keyboard reset\n");

Then the last two lines I see on the screen when I try to reboot are:

cpu_reset_real(): before keyboard reset
c

Also I tried to set BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET option but nothing changed
(except I didn't see these debugging messages, obviously).

The dmesg is at http://mysite.verizon.net/mr_hyro/acpi/dmesg.txt

Booting with ACPI disabled doesn't help, neither does setting
hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot and hw.acpi.handle_reboot to 1 (either one
or both).

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thank you,
Andrey



Tried to investigate further... Added code to print keyboard
controller output port to make sure A20 is open. Got 0x0B. Does it
mean that A20 is really open? If A20 is controlled by some kind of
"Fast A20" option, will keyboard controller still show the right
status? And what else can I check?

Thanks,
Andrey
