build freesbie iso
hi all: my box is 5.2R. I built a freesbie iso via 8 shell scripts on /usr/local/share/freesbie folder. then I put the iso as a bootable CD on bochs-2.2-pre2 emulator. it can bootable firstly , but next, bochs stoped on mountroot prompt. What is my missed thing in building steps ?!

A waste of time without first determining what the messages coming from FreeBSD actually meant. You were already told this. Do you always start swapping hardware in and out whenever you see an unfamiliar message on the console? If I was repairing a car, (which I do on occassion) then no. Why - because on an automobile there is sufficient test access points at the junctions of each subsystem in the vehicle to actually perform real problem analysis. For example you see a too lean condition, you can attach a vacuum guage to a convenient manifold port and see if manifold vacuum at idle is low, indicating a leak in a vacuum line. Or you can put an oscilloscope on the O2 sensor and see if it is tracking the mixture, or if it is just lifelessly hanging there doing nothing. But with computer PC hardware, it has been built for 20 years so that the repair techs do not have any access whatsoever into the logic circuits. Gone are the days of front panel switches and LED's indicating the logic state of the CPU bus. With the resultant 'toasters' the only kind of hardware troubleshooting possible is substitution - to replace the suspected faulty component or components with known good ones. It would have been an invalid conjecture because while your utility power might be bad, the power your getting from your UPS certainly isn't. I do assume you have this on a UPS, right? Yes ... but what makes you so sure it's not suddenly defective? That is simple to check - substitute the problem computer on the UPS with a known good one.

No. With inetd, you can also turn regular filters into network aware programs (sort of). And not every network service is always needed all the time. Having a deamon for each of those seldom used services hanging around is just wastful. i think its less wasteful cpu time to run separate daemons then to run 1 big daemon. Because the big daemon needs to find out which service it needs to start every time a fedex guy is knocking at the door while a separate daemon already knows what it needs to do before the fedex guy is standing at the door. inetd itself is not big. It doesn't contain all other daemons. Rather than that, it listens on the ports that are configured in /etc/inetd.conf and accepts connections. Then (and only then) would it fork() the configured program to handle the connection. inetd is not useful to every kind of application. Running a web server from inetd for every connection attempt would be silly. But running some obscure service, that is only needed every now and then, could be a good idea. Consider tftp as an example: this is mainly used to netboot diskless machines or to upload IOS updates to routers etc... On a typical network, tftp requests would probably arrive at a rate of 1 per day. Having tftpd hanging around as a daemon is not needed. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bob is right. Aside from exciting features and performance enhancements, however, one major reason to upgrade is security.

Every time I turn round, someone is telling me that I should update to a more recent version of freeBSD. Each time I try, I encounter nothing but trouble. Before I even begin: *CAN* freeBSD be installed on the fourth of four SCSI disk drives on the second of two SCSI cards? I know of no way to record the error messages other than with pencil and paper -- not a very efficient method in this computer age, especially when one is in the throes of frustration. I tried some time ago, updating to 4.5, the latest version for which I have a CDROM. When I encountered problems and queried this list, I received a message to the effect that the installer should quit working after X years. Perhaps that was tongue in cheek but it was singularly unhelpful. So, I continued to use 3.4 which, aside from the fact that I can't add anything new or update any ports or ... has stood me in good stead for years. Finally getting tired of using netscape 4.76 -- I've been unsuccessful at finding any modern browser that I can install under 3.4 -- and having it crashed by modern web sites, I decided to try again. I fetched the floppy images for 4.11 -- I have no interest in 5.x, 4.x is far enough removed from real BSD that I wouldn't go that route it I had a choice.

su command problem
To whom it may concern: I am running into an issue using rc.conf to run applications at startup. Specifically, nagios, and mysql. When the system boots, it goes to a command prompt at the stage of the boot process when those applications would be run and then stops. If I exit out of the prompt, booting continues normally. I believe I have traced the problem to the su command which is used in the rc. In attempting to run the mysql w/ mysql_enable=YES in the rc.conf, it su's to the mysql account and is supposed to run a command and exit. It su's to mysql OK, but never runs the command and exits. I have attempted this manually and received the same results. This system is running FreeBSD 5.3. I have another system which uses FreeBSD 5.2.1 and doesn't have this problem. I'm not sure if this is a security fix that has been implemented in 5.3 or if the issue lies elsewhere. I have been able to implement a workaround to make them work by changing their startup scripts to not use su, but would like to resolve the issue.

Re: hyper threading.
I guess that depends on how you define performance. The MAX_INTS setting in the em driver essentially does what polling does (in reducing interrupts) without the overhead. So there is really no way that polling could be better. With polling you have a lot of unnecessary overhead.

Re: hyper threading.
Things have changed a bit since then, so I doubt that proof has any relevance. All polling does , in the context of device polling, is make networking low-priority. You are adding latency to save CPU cycles. You could argue that higher latency is lower performance. Interrupt hold offs are a much better way to reduce interrupts without poisoning your system with extra overhead. -Original Message- From: Anthony Atkielski [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 16:49:20 +0200 Subject: Re: hyper threading.

To do this set start_vinum=NO in /etc/rc.conf and set geom_vinum_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf. gvinum will read your vinum configuration just fine so you only need to make the changes I suggested to get it to work.

Ean, Thank you, that got me further, I appears to have created a new /dev/gvinum/test, which seems to the right size, but when I mount it as /test, I get not a directory when I try and ls it. The mount point needs to exist prior to mounting a filesystem so, try something like this (as root): mkdir /test mount /dev/gvinum/test /test mount | grep test That last one should produce the following output, /dev/gvinum/test on /test (ufs, local, soft-updates) which indicates that you have a mounted filesystem on /test. I have tried to find documentation on geom, but that seems to be related to mirroring. Ya, documentation is still being worked on. For basic stuff (like creating concatinated volumes) you can use the vinum documentation and replace 'vinum' with 'gvinum' when you try things. Using your 'test' filesystem is a very good idea. Some aspects of vinum still aren't fully implemented in gvinum. Remember, if you just created your /test volume. It should be empty.

When the system boots, it goes to a command prompt at the stage of the boot process when those applications would be run and then stops. If I exit out of the prompt, booting continues normally. Maybe it really traces to the fact that you should not run any command from rc.conf. It is not treated as a script. Rather, rc.conf is merely a list of variable settings that the startup scripts for various programs read up when they need it. If you want to run something at startup, put them in /usr/local/etc/rc.d give them a name ending in .sh and make them executable. Those scripts will be run in roughly 'sort' order.

Very Slow FTP Uploads
Hi, Looking in to a solution why my FTP uploads are so slow on Free BSD 5.3 version. Downloads are very fast but uploads are excruciatingly slow. My BSD system is on autoselect option as my port on the network switch. I have also tried various options like setting the network switch and the BSD OS to 100 Fdx, still no better. I do have raid 5 drives, is there an option to improve FTP on OS by some miraculous BSD commands. Thanks!!

pcm device numbering
Hello, I have two sound cards: SiS 7012 (C-Media Electronics CMI9739 AC97 Codec) - 'snd_ich' Genius Sound Maker Value 5.1 (CMedia CMI8738) - 'snd_cmi' The first is integrated in the motherboard, and it is detected first and used as the default output device (pcm0). The second it detected after the first, so it is used as the second output device (pcm1). I want to use my second sound card as the default output device. I tried using the loader.conf variables *_after and *_before, but they always load them before booting the kernel, so the integrated card is detected first and assigned to the default output device (pcm0). So I have the drivers as modules, and load the driver for the second card when booting the kernel, and then from the command line I load the driver for the integrated card. Is there a (clean, if possible) way to do this (with 'device.hints', or rc scripts)? Here is the relevant output of 'pciconf -vl' (after loading the drivers in the desired order): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:7: class=0x040100 card=0x70121849 chip=0x70121039 rev=0xa0 hdr=0x00vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)' device = 'SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator' class= multimedia subclass = audio [EMAIL PROTECTED]:9:0: class=0x040100 card=0x03f6 chip=0x03f6 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00vendor = 'C-Media Electronics Inc.' device = 'CMI8738/PCI C3DX PCI Audio Chip#20013;#22269;' class= multimedia subclass = audio I am posting this question again because I did not get a response.

Re: hyper threading.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Things have changed a bit since then, so I doubt that proof has any relevance. The principles haven't changed at all. Servicing interrupts is an extremely high-overhead activity. There's a minimum amount of time it takes, no matter how short the interrupt routine. There comes a point when just the inherent cost of the context switch is responsible for most of the overall cost of the interrupt service, and with a large number of interrupts, the processor(s) can spend a great deal of time just switching contexts. Polling eliminates this overhead by simply checking for I/O to service when it is convenient for the OS. As long as polls occur frequently enough not to miss any pending I/O, it's faster than interrupt-driven I/O. The total number of instructions executed is often greater, because the OS tends to spin on its polling tasks, but the absolute time required to respond to a given I/O event can be much shorter. In my case, I divided all the work of the comm program into small bits that could be done in tiny chunks. Each time a chunk was completed, I polled the serial port. Since chunks never exceeded a certain size, I always managed to poll the port in less time than it took to receive a character, even at 38,400 bps. The system was busier than it would be with interrupts driving it, but it responded more quickly to incoming traffic, and there were no transfer timeouts, whereas with interrupts, the system was less busy, but it timed out very consistently at high communications rates. By using more processor but evening out the use of processor so that it was more consistently distributed, very high communication rates could be handled by the program. All of this remains permanently applicable today, and it is why some high-speed applications poll instead of waiting for interrupts. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Questions using PartitionMagic for dual-boot with WinXP-Pro
Hi - I need help partitioning a laptop (using PartitionMagic) which already has WinXP-Pro on it, so it can dual-boot FreeBSD. I kind of wonder why you are asking on this (FreeBSD questions) list. I don't see any FreeBSD installation in the plan you outline. SUMMARY === I'm thinking of doing the following layout (things I'm unsure about are in brackets [...]): - boot (Z:) - FAT [or FAT32?]- 2MB [less/more?] - primary - install Easy Boot [or LILO?] here - winxp (C:) - NTFS - 20GB - primary (I will move/resize this existing partition, using PMagic) - winxp2 (X:) - FAT [or FAT32, NTFS?] - 15GB - logical [or primary?] - linux - ext2 - 24GB - primary - swap - ext2 [or FAT, FAT32?] - 1MB - logical [or primary?] but I'm unsure about a lot of these parameters and I'm afraid of making the computer unbootable! The above layout sums up my questions - same questions in more detail below: DETAILS === Specs: Compaq v3125us, Windows XP Professional (with Service Pack 2), 60GB hard disk, 512MB RAM, and NO floppy drive. (Also: Pioneer DVR-K14 Slimline (DVD+/-RW, CD-RW), Intel Extreme Graphics 2 video chipset, ACPI power management.) I have PartitionMagic 8.0. (Note: In the questions below, I use the word partition because that's what PartitionMagic uses. I understand that in FreeBSD this is called a slice.) Yes, FreeBSD recognizes the four primary divisions and calls them slices. Withing each slice, it can be divides in to up to 8 partitions. (1) PartitionMagic says that if an OS partition starts after the boot boundary, that OS won't be bootable. It says I have boot boundaries at 2GB, and at 1024 cylinders. Most modern BIOS and boot loaders no longer have that problem. An older BIOS still might, but it is basically an obsolete thing. Does this mean I should create a small partition BEFORE my WinXP partition, to put Boot Easy or LILO there? (Apparently PartitionMagic has a command to MOVE an existing partition - so it looks like I can just move the existing WinXP partition slightly to open up some space in front of it.) I have never tried moving anything to a higher address and squeezing anything in before it. Shrinking and putting in a major division above has worked well.I don't think you have to put in a slice for those MBR utilities. They use sector 0 and extra unused space. If I do need to create a boot partition: ...(a) How big should it be? ...(b) What file system should it be - FAT, FAT32, ext2 or ext3? ...(c) Should it be a primary partition, or logical (extended)? Anybody have a preference on using LILO versus Boot Easy? Will there be a screen during the regular FreeBSD install that lets me install Boot Easy or LILO? Where do you intend to put FreeBSD?It doesn't supply Lilo or Boot Easy. Those are either Linux or third party things, not related to FreeBSD. (2) Should the file system for my Linux partition be ext2 or ext3? (3) Do I need a Linux swap partition? If so: ...(a) How big should the Linux swap partition be? (I heard it should be twice the size of my RAM. I have 512MB, so should my Linux swap partition be 1024MB?) Again, why would you ask about Linux swap on a FreeBSD list? I know some people feel that FreeBSD people are more generally informed than Lusers and MS slavies, but really, you should direct your questions to those involved with those things. etc, etc, etc. Now, if you really mean you are interested in installing FreeBSD and just said Linux by mistake, first ignore lilo, boot easy and other stuff. Just leave the MS xp installed as it is. Squeeze the MS slice down to whatever size you want it. Make the slice you create in the open space some FAT thing just to keep Partition Magic happy. Don't make it an EXT partition though. Which FAT doesn't matter because FreeBSD install will overwrite it with its own thing during installation. During FreeBSD installation, choose the standard FreeBSD MBR. If you later really must have Grub, Gag or something, then you can change it anytime. You don't want to make a separate slice for FreeBSD swap. That goes in to one of the FreeBSD partitions (the b partition). The rule of thumb is to make it 2 1/2 times the amount of memory, but nowdays with very large memories, some people choke on making it 2 1/2 GB or whatever. Anyway you want it at least some bigger than your memory like 1 1/4. But, I still shoot for 2 1/2 times. You can mount and read your MS slices from FreeBSD, but you cannot write to an NTFS slice from FreeBSD (the last I knew anyway, maybe you can now). ...(b) Should the Linux swap partition be FAT, FAT32, ext2 or ext3? ...(c) Should the Linux swap partition be a primary partition - or logical (extended)? (4) It would be nice (but not required) to create a second logical partition at this time for WinXP (a second logical drive, say X:), so I could keep my WinXP user or

Re: Clean install of FreeBSD, many ports wont compile

Re: definition of soft/hard interrupts.
Bahadir Balban [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In The design and implementation of 4.4BSD, the execution of I'm not sure this affects any of your particular questions, but that book is definitely outdated at this point... workqueues, some timer events and scheduling are referred to as software interrupts, as well as system calls. I thought only system calls would be in soft interrupt category as they are initiated with a software interrupt instruction. A software interrupt actually has its own process context that runs within the lower half of the kernel. Device interrupts are usually handled by packaging the event and passing it to a software interrupt context for handling. I don't think it has to be implemented with a CPU software interrupt instruction. By my definition, a hardware interrupt is one that is notified by the interrupt controller, and to my knowledge, timer events are hardware interrupts. Am I wrong? There's also a softclock and hardclock defined. It is as if, an interrupt handler for an interrupt reported on the controller, is termed as hard, but a low-priority workqueue initiated by a later timer event is called as a software interrupt here. The distinction here mainly being made by their priority. Would you confirm this? That's correct, but there are a couple of additional details that might make it more clear. Those software interrupts can be scheduled by other device interrupts as well -- the canonical example is a hard interrupt servicing a network interface card by setting up the received packet for the software interrupt to handle later, and then re-enabling the card for the next packet. In my opinion this isn't the way to put it and software interrupts should only mean interrupts initiated by interrupt instructions.

RE: Help!
I seem to have shot myself in the foot by trying to provide
*enough* information about both my system and what I'd tried to do
and what the results were. I've apparently buried the problem in
detail. Can't win :{
A few prefatory remarks so that we're talking more or less the same
language:
I should also have mentioned but did not that I'm essentially
totally ignorant about things microsoft -- explaining freeBSD
things in microsoft terms will only confuse me.
And that nothing microsoft remains on any of my disks.
And that when I say partition I mean a Unix partition; if I want
to refer to a slice, that's what I'll say.
And now:
Since I seem to have buried everyone in detail, please let me
summarize the actual problem here with some background and then
address a few of the issues you raise. I'll also leave the details
at the end for anyone who wants to look.
The problem is that:
1. I'm trying to install the newer version of freeBSD on a
separate disk. 3.4 is on a different disk. /home is on another.
And leftovers from 2.1.5 (mostly /usr and /usr/local is on still
another. (Which is which is described below in the discription
of my hardware.)
2. I had, back in December, tried to install 4.5 on the subject
disk. That installation was from the Walnut Creek CDROM that I'd
received when I still subscribed.
3. The 4.5 installation seemed to work but when trying to boot
from it, I found that the partitions mounted on, e.g., /usr were
those of the disk containing 3.4, not those on that (supposedly)
containing 4.5. (I had provided other mount points for those
partitions in the disklabel phase (e.g. /usr.34); /usr *should*
have been a mount point on the disk to which I had attempted to
install 4.5. After a couple of attempts with the same results,
I put it on the back burner.
4. In looking through my notes from that abortive attempt, I find
the error message:
Unable to add /mnt/dev/da3s1b as a swap device: Invalid
Argurment.
5. It did the same thing this time. I'm thinking that maybe that is
key to the current problem.
Is there a limit to the number of swap partitions one can use? I
have one on each disk; this one would have been the fourth.
Can that be the reason that it tried to fetch everything into some
root partition? This is my first attempt at an ftp install so I'm
unfamiliar with what it actually tries to do. Do I remember
correctly that the swap partition is used for temporary storage
during installation?
6. The last time it seemed to have thought that it had successfully
installed; it just didn't work. This time it just tried to fetch
everything into the root partition -- *some* root partition -- and
ran out of space. That makes a certain amount of sense because
last time, everything was available to it on CDROM; this time it
was not.
Aside (regarding failure to boot from CDROM drive):
I discovered at that time that the system with the Intel m'board
will *not* boot from the CDROM drive although its predecessor with
the same hardware except a different m'board did reliably. I have
found no BIOS setting that will allow the system to do so.
One thought occurs to me but is not relevant to this discussion
since I've simply created the boot floppies and boot into the
installation from them.
That thought is that, when the old m'board died, by the time I got
the replacement, I'd forgotten the order that the two SCSI host
adapters had been in the PCI slots and interchanged them. Perhaps
the Adaptec (to which the CDROM drive) is connected, should be the
second of the two so that it's the one set up last.
Now to the points that Bob raised:
Use your 3.4 FreeBSD system or a win system to download the mini.iso
file for 4.11 and then burn it to cd.
As mentioned in my original post but possibly not made clear
enough, my system has a CDROM drive; not a CD-R or CD-RW drive.
Boot your box from the 4.11 mini newly created cd and
I also mentioned that this system will not boot from the CDROM
although its predecessor did with the same drive. I haven't been
able to discover why.
accept the default slice sizes,
I just used the entire disk as a freeBSD slice. Or tried to. As I
recall there was a small piece at the end that was marked unused.
select not
to install the ports collection. The ports collection is over 3000
strong now and some are variations of same base port. You are being
foolish to select all ports as that is unnecessary and a gross waist
of disk space. After base install is complete then select the ports
you want and install separately.
OK, point taken. But the problem is that I never got that far
other than answering the initial question about whether I wanted to
install the ports.
When it gets to the actual ports-installation phase, does it not
install them in /usr/ports after the OS has been installed and
configured?
You are way back level and there has been great changes in the
system and the sysinstall process. Read and follow

Re: hyper threading.
Do you know how MAX_INTS and Device Polling work? I can tell that you don't so why are you blabbering about how you kludged an ancient operating system to work-around poorly designed hardware? First of all, with original 8250 PC serial ports, polling wouldn't have worked because there was no buffering. So there were no chunks to deal with. Which is why someone probably told you it was impossible. If your MB had a later design, such as a 16550, then you could poll and gain some efficiency. HOWEVER, modern controllers have much buffering, and the ability to moderate interrrupts. With polling you have a minimum constant overhead, even with no traffic. Using interrupt moderation, you get the best of both worlds, because the contollers will only interrupt at a pre-set safe interval, and there is no additional overhead. And when there is no traffic there are no interrupts. So if you have good hardware, polling has negative effects on performance. It ads overhead for no additional benefit. -Original Message- From: Anthony Atkielski [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 20:14:52 +0200 Subject: Re: hyper threading. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Things have changed a bit since then, so I doubt that proof has any relevance. The principles haven't changed at all. Servicing interrupts is an extremely high-overhead activity. There's a minimum amount of time it takes, no matter how short the interrupt routine. There comes a point when just the inherent cost of the context switch is responsible for most of the overall cost of the interrupt service, and with a large number of interrupts, the processor(s) can spend a great deal of time just switching contexts. Polling eliminates this overhead by simply checking for I/O to service when it is convenient for the OS. As long as polls occur frequently enough not to miss any pending I/O, it's faster than interrupt-driven I/O. The total number of instructions executed is often greater, because the OS tends to spin on its polling tasks, but the absolute time required to respond to a given I/O event can be much shorter. In my case, I divided all the work of the comm program into small bits that could be done in tiny chunks. Each time a chunk was completed, I polled the serial port. Since chunks never exceeded a certain size, I always managed to poll the port in less time than it took to receive a character, even at 38,400 bps. The system was busier than it would be with interrupts driving it, but it responded more quickly to incoming traffic, and there were no transfer timeouts, whereas with interrupts, the system was less busy, but it timed out very consistently at high communications rates. By using more processor but evening out the use of processor so that it was more consistently distributed, very high communication rates could be handled by the program. All of this remains permanently applicable today, and it is why some high-speed applications poll instead of waiting for interrupts. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dual-boot WinXP: FreeBSD slice within 8GB? Space for EasyBoot?
Hello - I'm going to install FreeBSD to make a dual-boot laptop (keeping WinXP-Pro). It has 60GB on a single hard drive, currently one big NTFS partition (C:) - which I will shrink down to about 16GB with PartitionMagic, leaving a new generic FAT or FAT32 slice which FreeBSD will overwrite. I have 2 questions: (1) Does the FreeBSD slice have to start before 8GB to be bootable? (2) Is there free space before the WinXP slice already for EasyBoot? Thanks. - Stefan Further details below: (1) Does the FreeBSD slice have to start before 8GB to be bootable? === This is a new machine, so I assume I have BIOS LBA, which got rid of the dreaded 1024 cylinder limit. But the link below (very optimistic, but talking about hard drive with only 1.6GB, way less than 8GB) implies that even with BIOS LBA, my FreeBSD slice still needs to start before 8GB: http://geodsoft.com/howto/dualboot/With BIOS LBA, the hard disk size limitation is virtually removed (well, pushed up to 8 Gigabytes anyway). If you have an LBA BIOS, you can put FreeBSD or any OS anywhere you want and not hit the 1024 cylinder limit. I know people say that FreeBSD can boot from anywhere - but even if its slice starts way out around 20GB?? (2) Is there free space before the WinXP slice already for EasyBoot? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/multi-os/x191.html Some operating systems (FreeBSD included) let you start their partitions right after the Master Boot Sector at Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 2 if you want. ... Then when you go to install your boot manager, if it is one that occupies a few extra sectors after the MBR, it will overwrite the front of the first partition's data. In the case of FreeBSD, this overwrites the disk label, and renders your FreeBSD partition unbootable. The easy way to avoid this problem (and leave yourself the flexibility to try different boot managers later) is just to always leave the first full track on your disk unallocated when you partition your disk. That is, leave the space from Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 2 through Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 63 unallocated, and start your first partition at Cylinder 0, Head 1, Sector 1. For what it is worth, when you create a DOS partition at the front of your disk, DOS leaves this space open by default (this is why some boot managers assume it is free). So creating a DOS partition up at the front of your disk avoids this problem altogether. I like to do this myself, creating 1 Meg DOS partition up front, because it also avoids my primary DOS drive letters shifting later when I repartition. As my laptop already has a DOS (WinXP-NTFS) slice at the beginning of the hard drive, can I just shrink this slice down to about 20GB, install FreeBSD on the slice after that, install EasyBoot, and assume that EasyBoot will be tucked into that sliver of free space before Cylinder 0, Head 1, Sector 1?

Re: su command problem
I'm apologize for being unclear. Let me try again. I
have not modified the mysql-server.sh script in any
way. The 'su -m mysql -c date' line is merely an
example of what I used to see if 'su' is having a
problem. All that line does is run the 'date' command
as the mysql user. I used this for testing between
the 5.3 system and the 5.2.1 system to see if there
was a difference.
Indeed there was a difference. On the 5.2.1 system
the command ran 'date' w/o any problem and then
returned control to the root shell, but on the 5.3
system, it su'ed me to the mysql account, but did not
execute the 'date' command and stayed w/ the mysql
account.
This is how I have come to the conclusion that it has
something to do w/ the su command or security relating
to it, rather than the scripts which are used to run
mysql or nagios. I guess I'm trying to determine if
this is a bug in the 'su' command or if there is a
security setting somewhere in 5.3 which changes the
behavior of 'su'.
Thanks again for your attention.

And when there is no traffic there are no interrupts. I'm sure that's appropriate in some cases. In my case, it wasn't necessary. So if you have good hardware, polling has negative effects on performance. It ads overhead for no additional benefit. Polling improves performance in the circumstances I've described. The extra overhead is irrelevant as long as the system is less than 100% busy. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Dual-boot WinXP: FreeBSD slice within 8GB? Space for EasyBoot?
-Original Message- From: Maude User [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 3:40 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Dual-boot WinXP: FreeBSD slice within 8GB? Space for EasyBoot? Hello - I'm going to install FreeBSD to make a dual-boot laptop (keeping WinXP-Pro). It has 60GB on a single hard drive, currently one big NTFS partition (C:) - which I will shrink down to about 16GB with PartitionMagic, leaving a new generic FAT or FAT32 slice which FreeBSD will overwrite. I have 2 questions: (1) Does the FreeBSD slice have to start before 8GB to be bootable? (2) Is there free space before the WinXP slice already for EasyBoot? Thanks. - Stefan Stefan, I just did the same sort of set up. The only difference was that I blew everything away and started from scratch. I used 3 partitions. The first for WinXP-Pro, The second for FreeBSD, and the third as a drive for swapping files between the two. I set up WinXP-Pro on my first partition using NTFS and alotted 15GB. The swap partition was the third partition, 12GB, and formatted as FAT32. FreeBSD was assigned the remainder of the 50GB harddrive and assigned into Partition 2. I installed WinXP first, then FreeBSD and allowed FreeBSD to install it's multi-boot manager and I haven't had any problems with booting either OS. HTH, Jon Bomgardner Further details below: (1) Does the FreeBSD slice have to start before 8GB to be bootable? === This is a new machine, so I assume I have BIOS LBA, which got rid of the dreaded 1024 cylinder limit. But the link below (very optimistic, but talking about hard drive with only 1.6GB, way less than 8GB) implies that even with BIOS LBA, my FreeBSD slice still needs to start before 8GB: http://geodsoft.com/howto/dualboot/With BIOS LBA, the hard disk size limitation is virtually removed (well, pushed up to 8 Gigabytes anyway). If you have an LBA BIOS, you can put FreeBSD or any OS anywhere you want and not hit the 1024 cylinder limit. I know people say that FreeBSD can boot from anywhere - but even if its slice starts way out around 20GB?? (2) Is there free space before the WinXP slice already for EasyBoot? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/multi-os/x191.html Some operating systems (FreeBSD included) let you start their partitions right after the Master Boot Sector at Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 2 if you want. ... Then when you go to install your boot manager, if it is one that occupies a few extra sectors after the MBR, it will overwrite the front of the first partition's data. In the case of FreeBSD, this overwrites the disk label, and renders your FreeBSD partition unbootable. The easy way to avoid this problem (and leave yourself the flexibility to try different boot managers later) is just to always leave the first full track on your disk unallocated when you partition your disk. That is, leave the space from Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 2 through Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 63 unallocated, and start your first partition at Cylinder 0, Head 1, Sector 1. For what it is worth, when you create a DOS partition at the front of your disk, DOS leaves this space open by default (this is why some boot managers assume it is free). So creating a DOS partition up at the front of your disk avoids this problem altogether. I like to do this myself, creating 1 Meg DOS partition up front, because it also avoids my primary DOS drive letters shifting later when I repartition. As my laptop already has a DOS (WinXP-NTFS) slice at the beginning of the hard drive, can I just shrink this slice down to about 20GB, install FreeBSD on the slice after that, install EasyBoot, and assume that EasyBoot will be tucked into that sliver of free space before Cylinder 0, Head 1, Sector 1?

Re: Dual-boot WinXP: FreeBSD slice within 8GB? Space for EasyBoot?
Hello - I'm going to install FreeBSD to make a dual-boot laptop (keeping WinXP-Pro). It has 60GB on a single hard drive, currently one big NTFS partition (C:) - which I will shrink down to about 16GB with PartitionMagic, leaving a new generic FAT or FAT32 slice which FreeBSD will overwrite. I have 2 questions: (1) Does the FreeBSD slice have to start before 8GB to be bootable? Not as far as FreeBSD is concerned. Since your laptop is fairly recent - last 6 years or so. Then not as far as the BIOS is concerned either. Older than that might be a problem. (2) Is there free space before the WinXP slice already for EasyBoot? Since that is where your WinXP is and it is what did the original allocating, you will have to check it out from that point of view. FreeBSD has nothing to do with that if you shrink the MS slice and make the slice for FreeBSD come after the MS slice - which is the way you want it. I think your Partition Magic can tell you if there are any spare sectors in front of the MS slice (partition in their terms).By the way, make the Partition Magic boot floppies and work from them when shrinking the MS NTFS slice to make room for a FreeBSD slice. It won't work from one installed on the hard disk because you will be modifying the slice it is running from. I don't know if EasyBoot needs extra space or not - haven't used it. But you don't really need it to dual boot the machine between FreeBSD and WinXP-pro. The machine I am typing on at the moment is dual booted between FreeBSD and Win XP-pro and I just use the regular FreeBSD MBR. Its only annoyance is that since the MS slice is NTFS it identifies it as ?? in the boot menu. But it works just fine. If you just have to have a different MBR/booter to make the menu look pretty, then leave the first full track unallocated. I don't think it is worth the bother of trying to move the MS slice if it didn't already leave the room, just to get rid of the ?? in the boot menu.But, maybe you have more time in your life to mess with those details than I do in mine. jerry Thanks. - Stefan Further details below: (1) Does the FreeBSD slice have to start before 8GB to be bootable? === This is a new machine, so I assume I have BIOS LBA, which got rid of the dreaded 1024 cylinder limit.

Would there be a reason why snd_via8233 works fine in 5.3 and not 5.4 pre-release? Also, could the usb mouse problem be part of the same problem, reasoning being that there may be a global hardware issue and that it may be conflicts in device handling vs. a configuration issue?

Hi Lowell, thanks for your comments...I'm not trying to install via a package. I'm going into /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 (or gtk20) and typing make install clean. Afaik this is how to install a port, unless I'm missing something really obvious. This is when the error occurs. I haven't tried installing using packages (pkg_add?). When the make install runs, it recognizes atk 1.6.1 and has no problem with it, but then bails out later saying it can't find 1.0.91. Yes, I ran cvsup on all ports, and the system, from cvsup.freebsd.org (I think that's the correct address). Had no problems doing this.

MAX_INTS is the sort of identifier that probably occurs in seven trillion lines of code in the world, so I have no idea what it means. I can tell that you don't so why are you blabbering about how you kludged an ancient operating system to work-around poorly designed hardware? I didn't say anything about an operating system. First of all, with original 8250 PC serial ports, polling wouldn't have worked because there was no buffering. No buffering was necessary. Even the oldest devices held the most recent character latched in the register, and that's what I picked up. It wasn't necessary to buffer the characters, as I picked them up as soon as they came in ... even at 38,400 bps. So there were no chunks to deal with. The chunks I had in mind had nothing to do with the incoming serial data. They were outstanding tasks divided into small blobs that could be handled between two polls of the serial port. Most of them involved things like writing data to the display, scrolling or clearing the display, and emptying and processing the keyboard buffer, not to mention transmitting outgoing data as required. Which is why someone probably told you it was impossible. They thought it was impossible because they had never thought of just polling the port. With interrupt-driven I/O, it _was_ impossible. But I just decided to stop using interrupts to eliminate that problem. If your MB had a later design, such as a 16550, then you could poll and gain some efficiency. I allowed for buffered input, as I recall, but the PCs I used it on didn't have that, and it would work without it. HOWEVER, modern controllers have much buffering, and the ability to moderate interrrupts. With polling you have a minimum constant overhead, even with no traffic.

xmodmap and juggling secondary pointer buttons
I'm confused. xmodmap does not seem to be able to rearrange secondary pointer device buttons in any way. I have two pointer devices (as implied above) that work fine, so long as I keep the secondary configured to use only the basic 3 buttons and wheel. Both devices have two additional buttons, but they (all) behave strangely unless I use the following line in .xsession: xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 This changes the button reporting in xev for the core pointer device, but not the secondary pointer. Without that, the wheel acts as a forward/back history click in my browser, and the extra buttons act like the scroll up/down should. This makes the extra buttons behave as a history forward/back, and the wheel behave as it's expected to. I've tried changing the ZAxisMapping settings, but this doesn't seem to make a difference. I've also tried a number of different configs and ZAxisMapping settings, and I've narrowed it down to the CorePointer/SendCoreEvents options. My pointer buttons report as follows: $ xmodmap -pp There are 7 pointer buttons defined. PhysicalButton Button Code 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 6 5 7 6 4 7 5 This is accurate for the primary pointer, but not the secondary. If I configure the secondary to use ZAxisMapping of 4 5 the wheel works as expected and the extra buttons don't report at all. If I use 6 7, the extra buttons work like the wheel scrolling is expected, and the wheel scroll works like the extra buttons are expected (and do in the primary pointer. It's minor at this point, but I'm still curious; does anyone know why this happens, and if there's a workaround to get the secondary pointer buttons rearranged?
