Actually, you got an answer, though you might have missed it.

Boot2 does not have "/kernel" as default, but "/boot/loader". Thus,
even if we did identify -v as a "parameter" and passed it to what is
being loaded, it would be the loader that receives it.

Alas, we just don't have a lot of space for boot2, and we'd rather
not spend it on things like that. Rather, we decided to keep boot2
simple, and transfer all niceties to a new stage, the loader. Loader
is fully featured, has an extended help, and includes a complete
structured programming language. We can't fit all of this into
boot2, obviously. And if we decided to add "just this feature" to
boot2, where would we draw the line? As the requirements for the
boot stage increase, so will boot2. It happened before, and that's
why we now have a three stage loader.

temperature monitor for windowmaker

1999-10-15 Thread Kenneth Culver

For all those who mailed this list about the temperature monitor apps
saying that the device wasn't configured, I have a preliminary version of
an app that should work for you. I just finished writing it about 10
minutes ago, and it only shows temperatures, and only shows them in
degrees C right now. In about 20 mins from now (9:00 PM EDT) you will be
able to get this app from www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/

If so, then the definition has changed since they were first invented.
(Around 20 years ago, IIRC.)  Weak symbols were/are used to refer
to external objects that may or may not actually be linked in.  The
difference between a weak and a strong symbol is/was that a strong
symbol would cause the appropriate library to be loaded to ensure
that it would be defined (and generate errors if still unresolved at
the end of the link) whereas a weak symbol would not cause a library
module to be loaded and would not cause an error if left unresolved.

I don't recall any consistant name for the behavour you describe,
but it was traditionally handled by the linker control file.  (Of
course, this was on systems which had somewhat smarter linkers than
unix's.)

Weak symbols (Was: World breakage in libc_r?)

A weak symbol is like an alias for another (strong) symbol. The linker
will link to strong symbols first, then, for any unresolved references,
it will try to resolve against the weak symbols before going on to
the next library. Weak symbols are a good way to hide things in order
to stop polluting the name space. But they can cause problems too.

Our use of weak symbols in libc is incomplete. Although syscalls like
read() have _read() as the strong symbol and read() as the weak one,
we continue to call read() in other areas of libc. This means that
a user can create their own read() function and they won't get a clash
when they link against libc, but other functions in libc that really
want to call the _read() syscall will call the user's read() function
instead. That's broken. We really need to change libc in the way that
NetBSD did with their namespace.h stuff. This ensures that the internals
of libc call the hidden names, not the weakly exported ones.

The panic happened well after the boot. After X had come up. It happened
when I logged in and Windowmaker was busy firing up all the crap that I
have running in the various places on my screen.

I'd love to make a crashdump and poke it, but I've got no idea why it
doesn't finish de dump.

Probably not.  The hardware is just so transcendently evil that it's
unlikely it could be made to work reliably for more than one or two
people at a time.

At some point we need to stop supporting antique hardware since it
places a significant burden on the advancement of the rest of the

pcm/ES1370 PCI soundcard problem

So the system builds nice again - thanks.
I haven't tried the XFree86 fix yet.
However there is a problem with the pcm driver:

pcm0:  irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0
pcm0: unable to map register space
device_probe_and_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6

Any idea?

I used 

device pcm0 at pci0

in the kernel configuration file.

Argh.  I know whats wrong but I don't have a good idea on how to cleanly
fix it.

Comment out:

sys/dev/ed/if_ed_isa.c  ...

in sys/i386/conf/files.i386 and reconfig/make etc.

Warner?  You mind taking a peek at sys/dev/ed/if_ed_pccard.c and telling
me how to fix it so we can get rid of the sys/i386/isa/if_ed.c hackery?
AFAIK all that is needed is some way to get the softc struct and to tell
the PCCARD system to reserve a softc of ed_softc size.

kernel compile problem at ed0

I seem to have a problem compiling a kernel on my laptop with the ed0

I too was pressed for time and what I did was to  dig up the source for a program
which uses signals and cut paste the include files to FSConServ.c .

I played a little with gcc -E which displays the processing of the include files and
took a brief look at signa.h and saw the check for  _P1003_1B_VISIBLE...

This is all academic since the proper fix was posted to the list.

HEADS UP: pccard kernel config file changes

1999-10-15 Thread Warner Losh


I've changed the attachment topography for pccard/pcic devices.  Now
pcic attaches to the isa bus to act as a bridge to the pccard device.
For historical reasons, I've left the pccard device name as "card" but
this may change to pccard in the future, but there are too many legacy
drivers to do that right now.

The upshot of all of this is that you need to change your kernel
config to

controller  pcic0   at isa?
controller  pcic1   at isa?
controller  card0

in order for thing to work.  I've tested this on my laptop, but I only
have one pccard slot.  I'm interested to hear from others that have
more than one slot.  I've also tested only on systems that have one
pcic, so I'd be interested to hear from those that have more than one
pcic in their system.  Finally, no pc98 testing has been done.

I'm trying to get things to the point where I can attach my slightly
rewritten sio code to attach by the end of FreeBSD CON.  The next rats
nest that I have to sort out is interrupts and bus resources in
general given the recent hoisting of resource allocation to the the
bus interface.  While I'm at it, I'll be trying to untangle the morass
of interconnectedness between pcic and pccard.

You can.  Don't interrupt boot2, wait for the loader, and use 'boot -v'.

Re: XFree build fine but don't install

  I managed to fix this problem temporarily for myself, but was hoping
the tree would fix itself soon enough.

 At the top of FSConServ.c add the line

#define _P1003_1B_VISIBLE

We should do what ever is reasonably possible to keep these two archs

I've been getting these really odd panics as well (which I reported

In the one case where I provoked it (by loading a kld that was
out of sync with the kernel), I also got that error.

I'm using the "experimental" ATA code though; are you using IDE

Hello,

Did you execute the 'sed' on the library libosl517li.so and did you
check the
change?

In my case (similar problem) it turned out I had to redo this step. So I
took
the hex editor and changed the path manually.

Timeframe on XFree86 signal fix

1999-10-15 Thread Sheldon Hearn


Hi folks,

A sequence of silly mistakes and circumstances have conspired against me
to make it impossible for me to run XFree86. I understand that the
XFree86 build is broken in the face of recent signal-related changes.

I want to know how long I can expect to wait for XFree86 to build on
CURRENT again. I'm not pushing, I just want to know whether I'm in for a
wait of less than a week (in which case I'll do without XFree86) or
whether I can expect to wait longer (in which case I'll bite the bullet
and undo my silly mistakes).

Thanks,
Sheldon.

Rebuild and reinstall all your modules. Keep the ols ones "just in case".

jumping from 3.1 to 4.0

1999-10-15 Thread Ilmar S. Habibulin


I'm using freebsd 3.1 release at one of my PCs. Today i tried to upgrade
it to current. I read mail-archives and knew, that i had to compile kernel
first. So i made new config and configured and build kernel. While booting
loader prints the next error message and boot fails:

/kernel text=0x202b9d
elf_loadexec:archsw.readin failed
can't load kernel


What hould i do to upgrade to current?

PS. answer to email please.

The boot loader was completly rewritten for the 3.x series.

You don't have to explicitly specify the kernel name. If the default
kernel has already been loaded you just have to tell it what to do.

'boot -v'

It's pretty consistant with other OS's boot prompt.

But '/kernel' is default kernel name, so "-v" will be option to default
kernel name (at least FreeBSD 1.1.5.1/2.* does that :-) ).

If we have default kernel name then why I can't pass parameters there 
and have to excplicitly type kernel name ?

It's not supported, and it's a disgusting device.  Stuff it in the bin 
and buy something better.

You could have found this information by searching the list archives, 
BTW.  You should do that first as a matter of course to avoid messages 
like this that may seem to be flames.

This is not a problem.

That's correct.  '-v' at the boot: prompt does nothing.

'-v' is an argument to the kernel.  Specify it as such.  8)
