FreeBSD is dead! Long live FreeBSD!
heh, having read over the responses of the people "in the know" (and I've only known about this for a month or two and only by guessing ;)) I think this is very beneficial. Jordan, as always has thought about everything, contingency plans, and has made it very clear that the aquisition of WCCDROM is not one of FreeBSD as well. However the FreeBSD team benefits from having several key BSD developers whom we all look up to getting involved. I already have seen posts from Sam Leffler, Kirk has been involved for a while with FreeBSD and I know for a fact this is a vote of confidence on his part about the business viability of FreeBSD as well as its technical merits. I think this is an exciting period in FreeBSD's development, I personally am very excited. if FreeBSD is dead, Long live FreeBSD. -Pat __ Pat Lynch [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Administrator Rush Networking To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

He also would not be talking about this in such a positive light if it were not good. If theres anyone I trust as far as this is concerned, its Jordan. And this should even bring some of the people who were jkh's biggest critics to some kind of happy medium, we've got some corporate backing besides Walnut Creek and finally making news.

Re: PCI DMA lockups in 3.2 (3.3 maybe?)
We are having a similar problem at the job I just started. A box meeting the exact specifications that Mike said caused the problem is essentially having the crap beat out of it as far as disk access and network activity (it might help to also say that this company is rather large in the scheme of things and would be a good example of how to use FreeBSD in a large enterprise environment). It is the only box out of alot of them having this problem, but its also the only one thats getting beat up as much as this one. it would be great if Peter could post his "patch" for the problem (how to migrate the -CURRENT driver into the 3.3 source) from what you say, Ed, it stands up a bit better than the current driver does, and can only probably get better. While this machine will probably be replaced with a different machine, FreeBSD is somewhat of a "Pride and Joy" here. -Pat -- Pat Lynch [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Administrator Rush Networking To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Re: SMP and Celerons...
Actually I have a "patch" that will get sound working on this board (its
working in mine right now...) but it disables support for all the other
ad1848 sound cards ;) I'm actually going through to make it work for all
of them now (at worst its just a couple case statements *shrug*)
If you are only using sound in this on mboard, then I'll give you the
diffs I have.
I *can* however grab the pII's from my mboard (an exact duplicate) and
swap CPU's temporarily, but I'll do it later, as I have not the
inclination to do it right now. If the Thunder2 has a problem with celery,
I'll know by tonight.
anyway, heres the diffs I made to /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/snd/ad1848.c

I'm not
really a coder, so it takes me more time to work out how I want to do it
;) and chances are, compared to others, it'll be sloppy.

SMP and Celerons...
Heya, sorry I tried this one on -stable and -questions and noone seems to know, and they actually go so far as to ask me how I got two celerons in a motherboard... so I ask here. I have two PPGA(Socket 370) Celeron 333A's that are on MSI6905 Dual Socket 1 adaptors... a Tyan Thunder 2 motherboard (onboard scsi, sound, etc.) I boot an SMP kernel, it gets right past autoboot... then panics the message was that it "could not find local apic"... its kinda strange because essentially with these adaptors, the celerons should be 1) SMP capable, and 2) the same as a PII, except no L2 cache I know others that ran FreeBSD SMP with celerons... anyone know if theres some kind of patch I need or modification I have to make to get either -CURRENT or -STABLE working on this machine? Right now it is running a UP kernel instead of the SMP one and runs fine. -Pat _______ Pat Lynch ly...@rush.net ly...@bsdunix.net Systems Administrator Rush Networking ___ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
