RE: Problem Installing FreeBSD 6.0, asking for help
I believe you are saying that 5.2 is currently installed on the hard drive and you want to do a fresh install from scratch of 6.0. You have to change the pc bios setup to boot from the cd drive instead of from the hard drive. The pc will then boot from the 6.0 cd and install 6.0 destroying the 5.2 system on the hard drive along with any user data you had. After 6.0 is installed you have to change the bios back to booting from the hard drive. Be sure you have a backup of any user data on the 5.2 system you want saved. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2006 5:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem Installing FreeBSD 6.0, asking for help Hello, may I ask you for help with the following Problem: When I try to install FreeBsd6.0, there is the following error during the boot process (because the system is not able to boot from CD, I have to boot from floppy) occurs: ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: SCB 6: immediate reset Flags 0x620 ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: No longer in timeout, status=25b ahc0: Issued channel A bus reset, SCBs 6 aborted. ... ... ...

It looks to me like things just went through the motions and not the actuality of installing ufs on the drive. That's happened to me a couple of times and from what I remember, I had to start the install over from the beginning - and I seem to recall something about having to install windows first and reformatting all the hard-drives with NTFS, then I could go back in and install FreeBSD. Otherwise, I couldn't get FreeBSD to install, it just went through the motions, wiping out whatever was on the hard-drives but not putting in FreeBSD. Without a CDROM, it's going to be a little bit rough to do. I don't understand why you mention Windows. Surely I don't require Windows to get this drive to work. As for the cdrom, I can always put it back to do an install. It doesn't cause trouble -just slows down the boot drive. I had a hard drive one time that I just couldn't get FreeBSD to format, no matter what I did. I finally gave up and put WindowsXP on it, which was somewhat of struggle too. After that, since what I wanted was FreeBSD, I retried installing it, it worked this time, I don't know why but it did. I can only think that there was something wrong with the original installation of FreeBSD and I wasn't experienced enough, at that time to figure out what it was, other than it wasn't working right. If I'm remembering correctly, a while later the drive would operate intermittently and I put it in the basement. -- Peter Hi Peter, Since you can play around a bit. Try reconnecting the CDROM and just the 300GB Seagate on the other ata channel. Then see if FreeBSD will successfully install on the drive. How much time do you have to work with this problem?

The main visible change will be that a large number of ports have had their plists modified (we now install libtool .la archives) and, as such, PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on ~2000 ports (roughly 1/7th of the tree). Unfortunately, there is no simple upgrade path. Short of removing all packages and reinstalling from scratch, the only other viable alternative would be careful use of portupgrade. Given the large number of different ways in which libtool is used by other ports in the tree, this is a process that is likely to vary considerably from system to system, and as such, folks should be very mindful of running automatic updating software, such as portupgrade, making extensive use of the -n flag (and equivalents for other updaters) to see what will actually be rebuilt, before actually performing the upgrade. The good news is that the system now in place will make the handling of libtool-using ports considerably easier going forward. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also, (with X11 programs especially) you'll have to edit all absolute paths in the config files to point to either relative, of if the app supports it, $HOME or ~/, so the programs won't attempt to write or read from the user you copied the configs from. Example: IconPath /root/icons would become: IconPath $HOME/icons hope this helps :) thank you very much but it would not. i know this and use this. the problem is where to find documentation about what gnome file does what, and how to make these skeleton files. any attempt to create clean user, configure gnome in it, move files to skel etc. failed. gnome gets lots of bugs, panel crashes etc. this way. I just did a clean gnome2 install, in a new user, changed the configuration, copied the entirety to skel, and then adduser'd it. gnome seems to start fine using gnome-session, and the user accounts are independent, so it is indeed kept entirely under the user's home directory. The clean install created these directories: .gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gstreamer-0.8 .icons .metacity .nautilus .themes Desktop Most of the important elements are under .gnome2 and .gconf, but the others are gnome components, metacity is the windowmanager, nautilus is the file manager/desktop, etc. any attempt to create clean user, configure gnome in it, move files to skel etc. failed. gnome gets lots of bugs, panel crashes etc. this way. now i know how to move desktop icons themselves, but not configuration. no idea what files defines what. gnome is even worse than windows in it. From the looks of it, the only things you'd really need to worry about with a default config are in .gnome2/ and .gconf/ Most of the meat in .gconf/ is in the %gconf.xml files. Skeleton files are nothing special, just have to change the name a bit and some of the paths like I said. if you have some description about it - will be very helpful That's all I can think of, it seems pretty straightforward. I'd be careful to check all %gconf.xml files in gnome2 to make sure they are 'safe' to use in skel (ie, user is changed, paths to private areas in another's home, etc) This is gnome 2.10 under freebsd 6.0-rc1, but the version shouldn't matter that much unless it's 2.6 or less.

Nickolas, You can get all messages sent to root forwarded to another address by adding that address to the /etc/aliases file, this is read by sendmail or rather the database created when you run newaliases when it needs to know where to send mail. You can decide which messages to send too.

I realize this will put the HD under stress, but otherwise it seems do-able. What I want to know is whether this is such an incredibly bad idea I shouldn't even consider it --or-- it seems like a good way to get familiar with gmirror, so go for it. If you want to do this for the sake of practice, by all means, feel free. However, mirroring onto the same device is going to result in almost no benefit to reliability and will cause a very large performance hit, as well as reducing the usable amount of disk space in half. (In other words, actually leaving the machine set up that way would be an incredibly bad idea.) Mr. Swiger; I agree, except that I had anticipated absolutely *no* benefit to reliability. If the disk goes bad, then having a mirror on the same disk, different slice, would still give me...no disk. I simply wanted to get the practice by actually doing, instead of just reading about it. I'll probably re-install Slackware on the other slice when I get done playing around.

My guess is that your connection to the remote machine is via a NAT (Masquerading) connection, and there's no activity on the connection. Running something like top when you're not actively using the connection will probably prevent the timeout. If that's the case then running ssh -o ServerAliveInterval 60 would do that. If it works, you can stick the option in your .ssh config file. --Alex Just what I was looking for!

Network: not found problem
I have been having a problem as of late with programs not running at startup. When I finally goto to my local startup directory and call the scripts directly I get an error of: Network: not found. I can ping properly out to the Internet, traceroute etc. The only firewall I have on my box is IPF version 3.4.35 . Sudoing and also SUing produce the same error message. More specifically I am getting the error message the ports package 'milter-greylist'. I have also got this error message from other programs in the past; although off the top of my head I can't think of what these binaries are. This leads me to believe that it is some esoteric network config issue. -Thank you in advance for your suggestions ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

make release / automated install / install.cfg woes
Is there some extra magic to making install.cfg work when rolling a release? I spent a fair amount of time this weekend preparing a custom release based off releng_6_0, and it works great but for one tiny detail.. After the installation is 'finished' and I reboot the system without the CD, it hangs with the bios complaining that it can't find anything to boot, which sounds suspiciously like the MBR wasn't written out correctly. The disk part of my install.cfg says: = disk=da0 bootManager=boot partition=all diskPartitionEditor da0s1-1=ufs 524288 / da0s1-2=swap 2097152 none da0s1-3=ufs 524288 /var da0s1-4=ufs 524288 /tmp da0s1-5=ufs 0 /usr 1 diskLabelEditor = The disk itself is setup absolutely correctly, the partitions are made, and the instally goes according to task up to and including the package installation... it just doesn't appear to Do The Right Thing when it comes to actually making the hdd bootable. Does this look like it should work? I've fiddled with various changes to the bootManager and partition lines, so far to no avail. Am I missing something here or should I start trying to figure out if the test system will boot off *any* hard drive? On a related note, when I make a change to this file, can I get away with something less than a new full make release? Is make rerelase or something else suitable when everything else is done and I'm just fiddling with this file? Thanks for any pointers. When I'm done with this I think I'm going to submit a doc patch for the 'make release' instructions. They are woefully inadequate for doing anything other than making a copy of your own release (unautomated) installations, and the example install.cfg still dates back to 4.x and jkh's laptop.. heh. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
