I'm not in front of a BSD machine to be sure, but have you upgraded your ports lately? Cups 1.2.1 should at least be there. Also, I don't think you are running FreeBSD 5.11-Release-p2 yet! :) :-) Oops - that's what happens when I send emails late at night - It's 5.5-p2.

Here I had exactly the same problem on my ancient laptop running 6.1-STABLE. I solved the problem by removing the kbdmux device from my kernel configuration. This laptop uses the atkbd driver for the keyboard. I also verified this on a Pentium 4, also using an AT keyboard: if kbdmux is in the kernel configuration the problem occurs, if it is not, the system behaves normally when using shutdown -h now. So I advise to delete or comment the line: device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer from your kernel configuration file and recompile the kernel. You probably do not need kbdmux if you use just one single type of keyboard.

Confused on how to properly set /etc/hosts

The instructions mean you should edit the line to read: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.server.net Generally if you have a fully qualified domain name eg 'web1.server.net' then 'web1' is frequently referred to as the 'host name' and 'server.net' as the 'domain name'. It's shorthand, and it's technically not correct[*] but it's commonly understood. Don't get too hung up over the /etc/hosts thing. Arguably it's equally correct to have just: 127.0.0.1 localhost Any extras on that line won't make any noticeable difference at all on most setups.

You should only replace the my.domain part with the 2nd level domain, so it would be: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.server.net You *may* also have an entry for web1, but it would normally contain your assigned IP address: 10.10.10.115 web1 web1.server.net But you may not want anything except localhost, depending on your DNS setup.

The problem, as we realized from some Dell engineer, was with the firmware on the mobo of this model. I was running FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE on the box. I bought HP ML350, migrated the whole setup to it and no problems even as I speak now! I am still waiting for a replacement motherboard from Dell (local vendor) for the 2800. There is a Dell 2850 that I setup as a server for a client, using FreeBSD 5.2.1. It's been running rock solid, and the only update I ever did was to update it to 5.2.1-patch14, which it will never go beyond, as I see no need. So, the moral of the story? Put the Dell aside, get a good HP and sit easy. * On 28/02/06 21:44 -0800, BSD Guy wrote: | Theres alot to this problem, but I'll try to be | concise so I don't loose people.

/var/crash handling
In doing some poking around on my server, I noticed that I am using 926 MB in my /var folder (the partition is at 75% capacity). So, I dug a little deeper and a huge majority of this is in the /var/crash folder; I have two vmcore files (vmcore.0 and vmcore.1) that are each ~402MB and were created back in February. Are these safe for deletion? Are these files, essentially, a coredump of what was in virtual memory when there was a kernel crash? There are some other files in here as well (bounds, info.0, info.1, minfree); are these safe to delete? If there is some good documentation on this, could you please point me in the right direction. I found some items on ONLamp that gave me some droplets of information.

If you don't expect to use any of these modules, it's probably safe to ignore this; otherwise, you'll have to upgrade those to 6.1.

Supermicro X6DVL-EG-2 Compatibility
Hi everyone. Quick hardware question here... We're looking to move a dedicated server to a new datacenter with new hardware. The Dual Xeon boards in the new datacenter are the Supermicro X6DVL-EG-2 with the Intel E7320 chipset. I see the E7320 listed on the hardware page for 6.1-RELEASE/amd64 but not for i386. Would this work with i386? I want to run i386 on this machine just to make sure all third party software we need will still work, since it is an important production server, and one application we use is binary only for i386. I also don't see the SATA controller (6300ESB) or the onboard NIC (82541GI) on either hardware lists. I see similar models for the NIC on the list, but not the GI. The motherboard spec page does show different models though, since at the top it says it's the GI, but down below it says it's the PI on that board. Does neither the SATA or NIC being listed mean that this board will not work? Is anyone out there running this board with FreeBSD, and what are your experiences with it? I don't know much about Intel hardware since I run AMD on all other machines, and most any hardware I've ever used with FreeBSD has worked, but I wanted to check on this before ordering the new server because we're needing to switch fast and get moved out of the old datacenter by mid-week. The only other hardware option I see from this datacenter is an Opteron 170, but I'd like to stick with the Dual Xeons as we currently have now if at all possible.

I've done this plenty of times, and the only time I find I have problems is when some software is running and has been updated (a daemon like sendmail or bind). The main reason (I think) they say to drop to single user mode is to ensure that nobody is logged in and that as little as possible can intefere with the upgrade process (rogue processes changing config files while mergemaster is running). If you've stopped all processes, logged out all users except yourself, you'll probably find that your installworlds while not in single user will go without a problem.

If I know libc has been bumpted, then there's a reason to go in stand-alone as there might be running processes that might be affected. On a multiple user machine it is highly recommended because 1) You warn the user that a loss of ressource (network connection etc...) is imminent due to reboot 2) Any huge processes are stopped and will not be affected by live changing of libraries and core /bin or /usr/bin and other system bin files. 3) If somethings goes wrong, you won't be affecting other users in mysterious ways, you can fix it right away and resume serving.

The Dual Xeon boards in the new datacenter are the Supermicro X6DVL-EG-2 with the Intel E7320 chipset. I see the E7320 listed on the hardware page for 6.1-RELEASE/amd64 but not for i386. Would this work with i386? I want to run i386 on this machine just to make sure all third party software we need will still work, since it is an important production server, and one application we use is binary only for i386. I also don't see the SATA controller (6300ESB) or the onboard NIC (82541GI) on either hardware lists. I see similar models for the NIC on the list, but not the GI. The motherboard spec page does show different models though, since at the top it says it's the GI, but down below it says it's the PI on that board. Does neither the SATA or NIC being listed mean that this board will not work? Is anyone out there running this board with FreeBSD, and what are your experiences with it? I don't know much about Intel hardware since I run AMD on all other machines, and most any hardware I've ever used with FreeBSD has worked, but I wanted to check on this before ordering the new server because we're needing to switch fast and get moved out of the old datacenter by mid-week. The only other hardware option I see from this datacenter is an Opteron 170, but I'd like to stick with the Dual Xeons as we currently have now if at all possible. Thanks very much in advance for any info or suggestions. -Mark http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon800/E7320/X6DVL-EG.cfm I have a X7DBE that mostly works with FreeBSD 6.x/i386. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBE.cfm The Ethernet controllers (Intel PRO/1000 EB) don't work with FreeBSD 6.1 but this is being fixed on -STABLE as we speak, there is a em(4) patch waiting for commit... I have not tried to use the 6 port onboard SATA RAID controller... From experience I just assume it not support at all.

How do I set Mixer settings in stone.
After every reboot I need to run 'mixer ogain 85'. I'd like to never have to do this again. How do I tell this to FreeBSD? I've tried yelling at him, for example: FreeBSD! Stop resetting the mixer ogain! damit!

BSDstats Project v2.0 ...
I've now committed v2.0 of the 300.statistics periodic script ... this one adds the device reporting that we'd talked about previously, and the summary reports now reflect the driver(s) in use for those deciding to report ... This Phase of the script is optional, and not enabled by default ... I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to report it, but just in case someone feels it poses a problem, its an opt-in report ... pkg-message updated to reflect the extra line you need to add to /etc/periodic.conf: monthly_statistics_report_devices=yes I've written it to report driver + chip= information from pciconf -l, since even pciconf -lv doesn't seem to use card= ... the summary report will be extended next to show both vendor and chip statistics ...
