RE: Fatal Trap 12
Warner, Thanks for the pointer! The only card I have that specifies a memory address is ed0 at 0xd8000. I removed the memory address in my config file, rebuilt the kernel and everything seems to works fine now. This is a older NE2000 clone card with jumpers for irq and memory address. I have been using this card for years without a problem or complaint. Why would it cause problems now? Thanks again.

I have been using this card for years without a problem or complaint. Why would it cause problems now? I've hopefully fixed this mistake now.. The problem was a side effect of the card being given a memory address and the driver turning it off because there isn't memory (ie: an ne2000). Removing the specification entirely would fix it, or updating to the latest isa_compat.c should also fix it. Why now? If you'd been reading the commit messages, you'd know the configuration system has had major changes committed... Thanks again.

Attention: Coupon fraud alert!
Please forward this article. Texas Textbooks Coupon Fraud On or Off the Drag by Richard Haas Texas Textbooks, Inc. may have conspired to commit coupon fraud against 7-UP/Dr. Pepper. Sources claim that the President of Texas Textbooks, Inc., Morris Woods, instructed managers to have his employees separate coupons and candies from Buy Back Promotional Packages, that were put together by Market Source, Inc., and www.taponline.com. Within the Buy Back Promotional Packages were various candies, gum, and a coupon for a free 20 oz. 7-UP, as well as other advertisements and promotions from various companies, such as Chevy, University Subscription Service, Citibank, American Airlines, TIME magazine, Student Financial Services, BMG Music Service, and Sprint. According to sources, the 7-UP coupons and candied were separated and put into boxes, while the rest of the packages were thrown into the dumpster behind Texas Textbooks. These Buy Back Promotional Packages were supposed to have been given to students during the Fall Buy Back season during finals week in December, 1998. The marketing company behind the packages, Market Source, Inc. was notified about the problem in early January, 1999, but refused to do anything about it. Woods, when telephone regarding the alleged coupon fraud against 7-UP/Dr.Pepper, denied having any knowledge of the incident, and hung up the the telephone on a reporter. Several former employees claimed that they were threatened with being fired when they refused to participate in the separation of the items. Committing a possible felony is not worth five dollars an hour, said a former employee. Seven Up/Dr. Pepper, University Subscription Service, Sprint, Chevrolet Motor Company, and the Coupon Information Center (CIC) have also been notified of these activities. Fraud is a crime punishable under both state and federal laws. Under Federal Law, a person convicted of mail fraud can be sentenced up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for each count of the indictment. In cases where the proceeds of the fraud are not reported for Federal Income Tax purposes, conviction of tax evasion is punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment and up to a million dollar fine for each count.

Sound doesn't work after recent upgrade
Hello ! Something changed between Apr.21 and Apr.27 so that my onboard Vibra16X get probed but I doesn't get sound. No error messages, nothing, different players show that all is okay and play silently. Catting something to /dev/audio or /dev/dsp(W) causes noise for about 1 second then silence. My soundcard worked well after initial new-bus changes. The motherboard is Tyan Thunder 100 DLUAN with onboard sound. Sound is not essential but it's annoying.

Re: suspend mode broken since one week ago
Small nit with APM type stuff, when i close the laptop pccardd seems to deallocate my netcard. Is this really nessesary? Yes, it is. This is what Win95 does as well, and because of lots of weird problems (not the least of which being certain cards that don't restore their settings when resumed), suspend/resume requires that we 'emulate' a removal and re-insertion. It comes back sometimes when i open it again, but not always... The above is related to a bug in pccardd that doesn't properly 'free' resources, or recognize that the card being 're-inserted' is the same one that it knew about before. :( Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

XFree86 and egcs
I cvsup'ed and installed yesterday morning it's the third cvsup I've done since egcs went in, so I know it's working ok.

NFS Patch #8 for current available - new TCP fixes
(fanfair!) NFS Patch #8 for -current is now available. This patch fixes serious bugs w/ NFS/TCP. Probably not *all* the failure conditions, but hopefully most of them. http://www.backplane.com/FreeBSD4/ NFS attempts to realign packet buffers and trods all over the underlying mbufs. For TCP connections, several RPC's may be present in an mbuf chain. The realignment of one of them may destroy the others. This does not occur with UDP because each UDP packet contains only a single rpc. Packet buffers may be unaligned for a number of reasons. The main reason is due to the 14 byte MAC header on the ethernet frame. This causes the remainder of the packet - the ip payload - to NOT be 4-byte aligned. Many ethernet drivers fudge the packet buffer in order to cause the IP payload to be aligned. Some do not. The ones that do not cause the NFS code to realign the packet and it is the nfs_realign() procedure that is broken. So the combination of having the wrong ethernet card in the server and trying to use NFS/TCP would cause some people to have lots of problems while other people might not have any problems. Neither the 'de' nor the 'xl' ethernet drivers align the packet. The 'xl' driver conditionally aligns it for the alpha. Part of the patch fixes the 'xl' driver to unconditionally align the packet buffer in order to improve NFS performance. I could not do the same for the 'de' driver because I am unsure if the dec chipset can handle an unaligned start address. The patch also fixes the nfs_realign() code so it will work properly with unaligned packets. The patch has also been updated to patch against the latest -current. As usual, any and all feedback will be appreciated. There are still NFS issues to be resolved, including a number related to AMD ( automountdaemon). Depending on how my testing works, further TCP patches may be in the wings. -Matt Matthew Dillon dil...@backplane.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

It is effectively an open protocol, like BGP. GateD is *very* unfriendly. It is user-unfriendly and it is OSS-unfriendly. It is not something I would like to see in the base distribution ( nor something I think we could put in the base distribution ). Also, the older, more OSS friendly versions of gated have too many bugs to be useable as a base. The OSPF implementation in it wasn't really fixed until late last year. For a knowledgeable programmer, building an OSPF router is not too hard to do, especially on modern UNIX systems like FreeBSD and Linux which have route monitoring sockets and fine control over the kernel routing tables. It would be a very cool thing to add.

HEADS UP! to commit SMP vmspace sharing patches
I'm about to commit the SMP vmspace sharing patch (the %fs approach). All kernel modules will need to be recompiled. Recompilation is not neccessary for user land applications including ps, libkvm and friends. In this %fs approach, per-processor private pages are no longer mapped at identical virtual address for each cpu, instead a new segment descriptor (%fs) is setup to access per-cpu global variables like curproc. As a result the %fs register needs to be saved and restored at the kernel boundary, this would impose a small penalty (cpu model dependent) for each syscall and interrupt. UP kernel will also be affected as efforts were made to ensure portability of kernel modules between UP and SMP architectures. Fast vfork is now possible for SMP and is turned on as default. We're also able to get rid of vmspace juggling kludges in aio code, aio should now work correctly on SMP. -lq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

If it isn't possible to do a sanity check, then I'd still be tempted to commit it, making it an option if it causes problems for a significant number ( 1%) of people.

Re: Floppies and laptops
In message 199904271921.maa05...@vashon.polstra.com John Polstra writes: : Yes! We need this. I have the sysinstall patches from the PAO people. Plus I've started working on an all kernel design for what pccardd is now doing. This should obviate the need for pccardd on the floppies. There may be more hacking to sysinstall needed to get it to rescan devices, since it would be nice to be able to plug in devices at anytime, just just right after you booted the floppy. However, this is long term stuff. The short term plans I have are getting the pcic stuff working in the newbus framework, as well as including the initial patches from PAO to pccardd and sysinstall to at least give the snaps something that is easier to install on laptops. I had to jump through too many to get my machine up and running. Once I get the pccard stuff working, I may go after cardbus. Geeze, all of this so I can get the pccard support working in Soren's new driver so I can read/write compact flash cards on my FreeBSD machine so I can put them into a WinCE palmtop I have Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

To be more helpful, you need to connect the psm device to the atkbdc controller. See the new GENERIC file for details. There is anti foot shooting code for the keyboard, but not the mouse.

Re: Our routed - Vern says it's old and buggy.
Um, can we get back to the subject at hand PLEASE? Who among you is going to import the new routed? Garrett doesn't have testing facilities for RIP, so it has to be someone else. Since Chuck also appears to have boundless energy for this topic, might he be willing? :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
