Re: Trying to revive a server... AIC-7896 freezes pre-POST completion
On Jun 13, 2006, at 10:11 PM, Garrett Cooper wrote: Hello again all, I know this isn't a FreeBSD question really, but I just started up a motherboard with onboard SCSI (Adaptec AIC-7896), and for some odd reason it freezes pre-POST before it attempts to boot and there isn't any way where I can get into the BIOS to change the settings it seems. Does anyone know how I can maybe disable the onboard SCSI controller since it appears to hang while detecting disks? Hi Garrett, I've been having a lot of PC fails to POST problems recently, so I feel your pain. Basically, my guess is that after your BIOS does its self check, it tries to load all of the option BIOSes into memory. This will include a BIOS from your SCSI adapter, as well as network-bootable NICs, etc. Basically, the BIOS has to do this so that you can boot off whatever option card that you have in the system. Since your SCSI adapter is built-in to the motherboard, it should be pretty compatible with the BIOS -- unless you changed that recently. In order to troubleshoot this, however, I would start by unplugging everything possible from your server. Just keep the ram, MB, CPU, and graphics card. See if you can get the machine to POST in this state (it really should, barring some sort of bad hardware or bad CMOS state). If it posts, start adding things back (disks, PCI cards, etc.), until you find the source of the problem. Usually, onboard devices can only be disabled from the BIOS, which you can't get to. But, I would check for a jumper on the motherboard, to see if there is a way to disable things that way. If you get really desperate, you could try resetting your BIOS configuration (CMOS). Good luck, and I hope this helps... -Andy. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problems with sshd on FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE
Hello, For reasons that I don't want to go into here, I have recently downgraded my principal FreeBSD server from 6.1 to 4.11-RELEASE. I did this by installing a fresh copy of FreeBSD 4.11 on a clean HD, and then I rsync'd all of my data over. Everything has been working fine, until I tried to SSH to the box this afternoon. While everything was working fine this morning, now sshd hangs up immediately on all clients that attempt to connect. In / var/log/messages, I see errors like this for every ssh connection attempt: May 31 15:21:06 redefine sshd[8543]: error: ssh_dss_sign: sign failed May 31 15:21:06 redefine sshd[8543]: fatal: mm_answer_sign: key_sign failed Google hasn't enlightened me at all. This was *just* working a few hours ago, and now, nada. Does anyone on this list have any ideas?

I've got another simple problem now. How do I get this code to stop
printing everything on a newline, I'm not using \n in my print
statement so why does it do that and how do I get it to stop?
@wordlist1 = `sed /^$sedstring1\\\$/\\!d enable2k_wordlist`;

}
$string =~ tr///cs;

Hi Nikolas,
Most likely, your input has '\n' characters at the end of every line,
and you aren't doing anything in perl to strip those away. Try adding
a 'chomp($string);' line before you print.

Re: watch(8), xwatchwin as courseware [solved by script/tail]
On Apr 2, 2006, at 11:29 PM, Andrew Pantyukhin wrote: Hi. I have to teach no-frills freebsd courses. I wonder how I can arrange all the students seeing on their displays what I'm typing in my xterm in real-time. I haven't been very successful with xwatchwin (I've been able to see it in action but it wasn't very pleasant, and it dumps core on me lately). watch(1) seems to be ideal for my purposes - students log on to my box (maybe even gain root privileges if I don't tweak devfs) and watch my pty. They can even copy and paste what I'm typing in their xterms. But there's a show- stopper: it seems that only one snp(4) device can attach to a tty at the same time and only one watch(1) can use a snp(4) at the same time. So what do you suggest? Hmm... Just as I was typing this I saw a simple solution. I can use script(1) dumping to a file with -t0 (flush on every char) and people can just tail -f this file. Performance is great on a local machine, but is very laggy over NFS... I tried 'mount -o acregmin=0,acregmax=0' and the perfomance is almost real-time now. Great :-) It really is true that many solutions come just as soon as you try to describe your problem clearly :-) Another potential solution is to use VNC - assuming your students have graphical displays. I'm pretty sure that multiple VNC viewers (clients) can connect to one VNC server, in watch-only mode. -Andy. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Filesystem layout with sperated /boot partition

One question (last one) which I could not find an answer to in the online manual is : How would you do a Dual or multi OS boot machine f.e. with Windows on the first disk, first slice, first partition and FreeBSD on another partition ? Would I need a boot floppy or perhaps its not possible at all ? Hi Valentin, Dual booting FreeBSD along with other Operating Systems is definitely possible. And you're right, I couldn't find any reference to how this can be done in the Handbook either. :) Basically, it is my understanding that you will want to add a dedicated FreeBSD partition to your disk, and configure the slices within that partition as you have learned previously. In terms of how to boot, while you can use a floppy, there are many boot managers, that once configured, are more convenient to use than floppies.

FreeBSD 6-STABLE: Apache 2.2 and php 4.4 segmentation fault
Hello, I am a long time FreeBSD user of FreeBSD 4.x and Apache 1.3.x. I have decided to get with the times, and upgrade to FreeBSD 6 and Apache2. So far, my experience with FreeBSD 6 has been great, but I appear to have bumped into a problem with running Apache 2 and php4 together. By itself, Apache is working fine spitting out static pages. However, whenever I try to load a page that needs to go through the PHP interpreter, I get a segmentation fault: nr:/usr/local/etc# tail /var/log/httpd-error.log [Sun Apr 02 15:54:47 2006] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart [Sun Apr 02 15:54:48 2006] [warn] (22)Invalid argument: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter [Sun Apr 02 15:54:49 2006] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
