no more possible to use any usb storage device/usb flash drive, when pluged or unpluged
Hi everybody I try to make a functional custom kernel for a i386 machine.

The kernel doesn't detect any more any usb storage plugged or unplugged (dmesg|tail doesn't return anything when I plug and unplug usb storage/flash device).

[snip] Well the simple answer is you removed something from the new kernel that you shouldn't have. Return to the generic kernel and only remove one or two options and compile and test. cycle through this method until your system finally misbehaves again. Then you know one of the last 2 options has to be kept in the kernel. An alternative to making a copy of GENERIC and then editing it is to create a new file from scratch containing an include GENERIC directive and an appropriate ident along with nooptions and nodevice directives to remove unwanted features and options and device directives to add additional ones, as outlined at the start of section 8.6 of the FreeBSD Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html. The PAE config file provides an example of this approach. This way your kernel file shows only the changes you've made to the standard kernel and should make it easier to identify the cause of problems. -- Mike Clarke ___ 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

I've been using athlon64 so far without any problems but I don't know if it's the most appropriate choice or if there's even any significant difference between them. athlon64 is probably a good choice. I haven't looked at it in a while, and there isn't much difference. IIRC the older athlon-xp included support for 3D Now and mmx while the athlon64 adds sse and/or sse2. I think this matters more to third party ports software builds than it does the system. I thought that large pieces of the kernel were designed to not make much, if any, use the various SIMD extensions. Maybe this has changed and I'm behind the times.

Me too. I have an AMD quad core and 8GB RAM. Virtualbox is one of the most painless ways to do this. Whichever OS you install in a VM it won't run as fast as it can if not a VM, but on the larger horsepower box it is very nearly unnoticeable. It's close enough that I'm quite satisfied. In fact it is what I do if I need Office for anything, fire up a Windows VM. I originally started doing this with a Pentium D 940 and 2GB RAM and it made the box a little sluggish. The move up to the higher horsepower box eliminated that. Virtualbox and higher horsepower gets my vote over continually monkeying around with altering slice/partitioning schemes.

And you're right that if needed the port maintainer has already taken care of this. Unless you have a very specific need, better leave CPUTYPE alone. Thing is, any performance increase is only going to be very small. So small the difference can probably not be seen subjectively. I'll do it as long as it creates no problem; if any problem were to arise over this I'd kill it in a heartbeat and not fuss over it. It is a point of diminishing returns.

Installing from FTP: unable to transfer the GENERIC distribution
Good day. I am trying to install 8.3-RELEASE on remote servers using bootonly ISO image connected through IPMI virtual media and then choosing FTP as installation media to get distributions. There are 2 similiar servers. On first one all gone OK and I get working system, but on second - nothing wants to go OK. After choosing FTP-server from list in sysinstall (I have already tryed about 10 of them) GENERIC distribution starts to download, and progress-bar as usual moving to 100%, but then I get message Installing from FTP: unable to transfer the GENERIC distribution from ftp://server.addr/ On second console (CTRL + F2) there are messages of checksums fails. Is I re-try downloading, system seems to install normally, but while sysinstall continue dialogs, bugs start to appear: it is no way to set root password, for example. If reboot, I see installed FreeBSD, that boots, but unable to login because PAM missing. Seems that not all files installed properly. I tried to re-install system all the day, and of course look through Google, but can't find out any usuable information.

Wireless networking question

Looking a little further down, it seems that the Intel 6000 is supported by iwn on OpenBSD, but not on FreeBSD. But I could be barking up the entirely wrong tree. Can anyone shed some light here? Is there any way to query the hardware, short of opening the box (which will void the warranty)? TIA snipped More info: I found the following in the output of pciconf -vl: no...@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x10891a3b chip=0x002b168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' class = network a...@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x02 card=0x18201043 chip=0x10631969 rev=0xc0 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Attansic (Now owned by Atheros)' class = network subclass = ethernet Not a whole lot there.., Does scanpci -v tell you any more details about the hardware? Regards, S Roberts Looks like the first entry show here is my wireless (guessing), because alc0 is my wired. Any ideas from that what driver I should be using? I've tried 'ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0', as well as ath1..9 and uath0..9, and I always get: ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Device not configured ___ 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

Re: Installing from FTP: unable to transfer the GENERIC distribution
Suspect hardware on the second system? Try escaping to the shell (Alt-F4) after pulling down some of the distribution sets and see if 'netstat -i' shows interface errors. I tried to, but (Alt-F4) does nothing. Should it work in Standard installation method or Custom? This time I lucky: Base distribution set get right, and when Generic started downloading, I reached the console you mean. netstat -i says there are no errors. second console says following: /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error /stand/cpio: warning: skipped number bytes of junk /stand/cpio: : No such file or directory While downloading, such messages run out very fast. Then, sysinstall says: User confirmation requested Unable to transfer the GENERIC distribution from ftp://ftp10.freebsd.org.

Advice for finding a leaky Apache (probably PHP) process
Hello, I'm wondering if you guys have any general tips on how to find the Apache process/app that is gobbling up my RAM randomly until my machine crashes and I'm forced to reboot? I'm tired of staring at top and working with flimsy hacks such as 10 minute Apache restart cronjobs. This seems to start (or worsen) after updating to PHP 5.3, but this is not happening on my test machine where PHP 5.3 is also installed and the same apps are used (although not publicly). General tips and suggestions are welcome here!
