Booting freeBSD on Prostar 2273 (Series 2200T)

2004-04-14 Thread Arya Nasha
Help! I have been unable to boot
any FreeBSD to as far back as 4.8 RELEASE.

Has anyone out there been able to boot FreeBSD
on this laptop?

Thanx,

Arya

Panic during boot

2004-04-11 Thread Arya Nasha
On a Prostar model 2253 (Series 2200T) laptop,
with 512Meg ram, P3 1.2 GHz, I tried to install
freeBSD using boot floppies kern.flp and mfsroot.flp
The bootup panics immediately after probing pccard0
with page fault.

This is consistently the case with release 5.1, 5.2,
and
5.2.1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Arya

in boot/loader.rc:
.
.
set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1

.

So ACPI is dispabled.

 And that happens with ACPI disabled?

Backport of SATA driver

2004-02-26 Thread Arya Nasha
I am running FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE-20031202-JPSNAP
which I had hoped would have SATA driver, but it
still cannot see my SATA drive. Will the SATA driver
be ported to 4.9?
Thank you,

Arya

downloading files from rtsp urls

2004-02-25 Thread Arya Nasha
Is there a client application that can download
files from urls via rtsp protocol, of course,
assuming the url is rtsp://...et...etc
I dont want to play these files in real time.
Would like to download them and play them
later.

I tried wget, and it does not support rtsp protocol.

Cheers,

Arya

wireless card settings question

2004-02-19 Thread Arya Nasha
When configuring a wi0 interface, the available
authmode settings are
none, open, shared.
The ifconfig manpage does not explain the meaning,
nor the consequences of selecting either open or
shared.
Of open and shared, which one is more secure ?

Also, regarding wepmode, it turns out that on the
Netgear MA401, wepmode ON is same as wepmode MIXED.
Does this mean that anyone can connect without
having the encryption key?

I realize that even 128bit WEP keys are easily
crackable these days, but I still would want to
prevent connections that dont have the key.


cheers,

Arya

 There are interrupts interfering with timekeeping.
 You should try disabling APM...
