Does this computer work well under load with whatever OS was on it previously? You might want to try memtest, available from http://www.memtest86.com/ ; it might be able to help diagnose the problem.

FreeBSD 5.x source update and compilation problem in HP Vectra VE18
Hi, I installed FreeBSD 5.1 in HP Vectra VE18 PIII 450MHz with 128MB RAM and 4GB HDD. However I'm having problem compiling sources. Whenever I try to make buildworld make stops sometime later saying some variable not found etc. When I check that variable from source it is somehow changed strangely something like: addend changed to adddnd, else changed to dlse, INFOPATH changed to INFNPATH etc. I did cvsup several times, also I used rm -rf /usr/obj cd /usr/src && make cleandir command before compiling. I don't know what to do, I really need to install FreeBSD 5.x on this machine. I even tried with FreeBSD 5.2RC2, but same results. Also I first tried to compile kernel , but it is same, no results. Can somebody help me in this regard? What should I do? tia, Ganbold ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Unprobed PCI bus on VXPro II chipset

Re: Install problem
Hi, thanks for the reply. I downloaded the files from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.8-RELEASE/ onto my computer with Windows XP, and then used the Windows Direct Cable Connection (DCC) to transfer the files from the XP machine to the Windows 95 machine. I then checked the file sizes on the Windows machine and they match up exactly with the files on the FreeBSD server. So that's not the problem. I think it's something to do with how I set up the FTP server on the Windows box, but I can't see exactly where I went wrong. Like I said before, the FreeBSD machine seems to have no trouble finding the files on the Windows box. Cheers!

Re: kern/37043: Latest stable causes SCSI bus freeze on sym0 when running SMP
Gentlemen, Since upgrading our kernels to 4.x, weve noticed this problem. After installing Gérards Sym workaround (http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20020810.g7MMABwT084798), the issue seems to have vanished on 3 of our 5 affected servers. The 5 servers are all Asus AP1400 boxes (CUR-DLSR mobo, ServerWorks 3 LE chipset) running various stable 4.x kernels, all containing the LSI Logic 53C1010-33 chipset. Of the two remaining affected boxes, one runs merrily for a few weeks with minimal load (serving two static web pages) and then dies, spitting out sym0:0:control msgout 80 22 25d like messages. The other box runs with no load (completely idle) and hard locks after 2-3 days with no error or panic messages written anywhere. The latter affected box was recently sent to Asus in Taiwan for repairs to the SCSI backplane board, apparently a known ASUS AP1400 issue (dont know if this info helps, but...) Below is the dmesg output of the two affected boxes (as described above, in order) as well as the pciconf -l v output. I hope this helps. Were also offering a chance if anyone wishes to mess around with one of these affected boxes; we will make it available remotely for testing. Any thoughts?

If you downloaded them via FTP, is it possible that you have downloaded them in ASCII, not binary, mode? If this is so, the files would be corrupted, since the FTP transfer in ASCII mode would have placed a lot of CR characters before every LF character in the file, and those are definitely not needed (and harmful) for the binary tar/gzip archives used for the FreeBSD distribution. In short, if you originally downloaded the files from some FreeBSD mirror via FTP, you'll have to fetch them again, this time telling your FTP client to use binary, not ASCII, mode for the transfer. Hope this helps.

Re: Update: PR bin/60636
Thank much. I know the damage is probably already done though; I'll have to setup a filtering system of some sort to block all email to that account. Again, thanks for the swift response. I hope the PR helps some people out. :-) BTW, this email is also in response to all others that emailed me about this problem. I would like to say thanks to you as well.

I second the Opera 7 recommendation; I run it on my P2-400 laptop and have grown used to its speed and versatility. Running the Linux Opera binary allows the flashplayer to be used; in Opera 7 this works quite well. As can be expected, the Flash apps suck CPU but at least the Flash navigation menus should be usable. The Acrobat and Real plugins also work with linux-opera. Opera's session management is unmatched as well; it's another must-have browser feature now that I've experienced it. Greg -- Gregory S.

Update: PR bin/60636
Hey there. I emailed that PR into the FreeBSD team the other day. I didn't remove a line that said , because the above lines said comments and anything between < and > would be removed. It put [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my email, and now I'm getting all sorts of spam to that mail box (all dealing with that stupid ass "Last chance to update MS" and shit). Sorry for the cussing, but this is frustrating since that's used strictly for system administration; can you change the email address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks. PS : Just tell me who to forward this email too to get this resolved if this is not the appropriate place. -- William Michael Grim Student, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville Unix Network Administrator, SIUE, Computer Science dept.
