Hey, now it starts to boot only to fail to find the root fs because it's looking on ada1 and the fs is on ada0. That is a mess. Sounds like a bug in the BIOS or boot loader. The boot loader should be able to ask the BIOS for the device from which it read the boot code, and use that instead of just naively using the first available device in the system ... The BIOS does pass the BIOS disk number (0x80, 0x81, ...) to the bootloader. That's fine as long as the bootloader is using BIOS calls to read the disk, but how does the BIOS disk number get mapped, reliably, to an OS device identification? The BIOS can't do it, because it knows nothing about the OS, so the OS would have to do it = the OS must know a lot of detail about every BIOS on which it will ever run. This does not seem very practical, and that's at least part of the reason why labels were invented. I suppose if someone wanted to track down the official way of solving this problem, they could look into how Windows handles it. ___ 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

In mode S4 (suspend-to-disk) it isn`t even able to get into sleeping mode. I want to initiate S4 state by closing the lid. I have a Latitude D630, which is basically the smaller brother of the D830. When it ran FreeBSD I had success in getting the D630 to sleep (s3) and resume. This was a while ago on 8-STABLE with amd64. At least back then, you would need an amd64 install to get this working (something with acpi being better in amd64 then it was in i386). I am not sure that is still the case, but I would not be surprised if it is. However, before you run off and reinstall: (again back then) both the bge and wpi driver (i.e. LAN and WLAN) did not work properly after resuming. This basically made sleeping the laptop useless.

To my knowledge, Windows (XP, at least; probably others) labels the boot filesystem on install, and just probes all disks every boot for a filesystem with the given label. This is why you can move a Windows disk around with relative impunity (as long as the controller drivers are installed); but simply copying all those files to another filesystem (a-la dump/restore on BSD) never results in a bootable OS, even if you put them back in the same place.

I've read everything I could find on the topic of configuring hfsc
altq in pf (4.5, FreeBSD 9), but I still have no clear idea of how it
is actually implemented. I even started looking through the source
code, but that might take a while. My main questions are:
1. Difference between 'realtime' and 'linkshare'?
It's about latency, realtime has priority over non-realtime.
I sort of understand this, but I can't figure out how that would apply
to my example:
altq on $wan hfsc bandwidth 25Mb queue {one, two}
queue one bandwidth 70% hfsc(default, realtime 20%)
queue two bandwidth 30% hfsc(realtime 60%)
If realtime and linkshare priorities are reversed, what happens as
total bandwidth utilization approaches 100%?
2. In service curve configuration (m1, d, m2), what is 'd' relative
to?
It looks like it's a leaky-bucket algorithm. It's not really relative
to anything except for special cases like a traffic step-function.
Can you please clarify what you mean? I'm familiar with the leaky
bucket algorithm, but it still doesn't answer what triggers the switch
from m1 to m2 and whether it's a per-queue or per-connection setting.
3. Are priorities actually used for anything?
Priority determines which queue is serviced next when more than one is
under its limit.
Understood, thanks.

FreeBSD 8.2 + Ironlake revisted
I have a laptop with Xorg 7.5 and FreeBSD 8.2 both updated as of a few weeks ago. The laptop has an Intel Ironlake card that Xorg 7.5 apparently recognizes as such creating, what I assume is a correct, modline for it. However the default install selects the vesa drive which will only support a screen resolution of 1024x768. My question is: can a higher resolution be suported in 8.2? I assume there is a technical or implementation reason why vesa only does 1024x768 rather than configuring to the highest resolution the card supports.

I take this to mean that if your TSC is absolutely rock solid and does not vary or adjust when CPU throttling kicks in you may very well get away with not having it. My take on this is it probably doesn't hurt to leave it in, as it would be a safety net in place for a just in case scenario in which case it would enhance stability. Cheap insurance.
