Free 1GB laptop RAM
Hi guys, Not sure if anyone would want them, but I have 2 x 512MB DDR667 working Dimms laying around unused that I'm more than happy to part with. Please note that it is standard laptop ram (this is compatible with some of the ultra small form factor machines though). So if interested give me an email and we'll negotiate shipping or pickup (south bay area / Santa cruz).

SMP and ACPI problem ??
Hi, To make a long story shorteverything worked fine on my system (7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD). Last night I was updating stuff on my windoswXP guess (under qemu) and performed a clean shutdown. This morning, after bringing back up my system it has been unbearably slow. Without doing anyting to FreeBSD, it suddenly started working in SMP mode - recognizing my 2 processors. Before, it never did this...and looking at the speed it is going now, I'm happy it didn't. After googling a bit, I tried to disable ACPI in order to fall back to single processor mode, but my system keeps acting up like it never did before. Very slow booting and KDM/KDE loading. Once up it's ok until I run a portupgrade or such. 1. What are some suggestions as to make it run 'normal' again? 2. Is it possible to make it actually run better in SMP mode? 3. Can my updates on the Qemu WindowsXP host make my FreeBSD system suddenly recognize the 2nd CPU? - this doesn't make sense to me but that's the only thing I worked on last night. I hope I can get some pointers as to what could have caused this and what I can do to get it back to the way it was.

(/usr/ports/lang only has 5.8). Can someone tell me why? Is there any way to get it working stably? Is there any schedule for when it will be added? This is a major release of a major language, not an obscure maintenence update. I asked that same question on the FreeBSD-Ports forum a few months ago; however, I never did receive a satisfactory answer. I believe it is readily apparent that it will not be included with the next release of FreeBSD; i.e., '7.1'. Since it does seem to work quite well under Linux, I was wondering if there was some fundamental flaw in FBSD that prevented it from working correctly here. Even so, failing to get a major project like Perl running properly in over a year on FBSD does not bode well for the OS. on the contrary, when 5.8 was released, it took a long time to move to that. And when I asked that question on IRC (why 5.10 isn't currently used), it was described to me that the 5.6 to 5.8 move broke everything and caused lots of headache. World and Kernel used to (at least) use perl as a glue to make stuff works. I bet there's at least some 5.8 glue for world or kernel. You can always download the source and compile it yourself. Perl's popular enough that I bet it'll compile fine. I hear it completely as: 1) World glue may break, and until you can be sure it'll work okay, wait. 2) Kernel glue may break, and until you can be sure it'll work okay, wait. 3) Ports glue/dependencies may break, and until you can be sure it'll work okay, wait. Given it's taken a year (I didn't realize it was that long) for this wait/check to happen, there must be something holding it up. You might be able to coexist 5.10 and 5.8 -- except the symlink 'perl' will point to ONE of them. I suggest you point it at 5.8 Good luck. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
