fortran in AMD64 FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE
I have recently migrated to FreeBSD 7. In doing so I realized that g77 is no longer provided with the OS (no jokes about Fortran use, plz ;) this is legacy code). The online resources that I've found suggest installing the gfortran port, however I don't see one in my ports tree for 7.2-RELEASE. I'd use ifc but that's marked as i386 only and I'm on an AMD64 box. How do I get g77 running on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE? Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide with my conundrum . . . - Jason ___ 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
interactive stop on boot
Hi -- I'm running a Tombstone machine that's functioning as a server. The machine is located somewhere with a fast connection, and not somewhere that I have easy access to. As such, I want this machine to do its best to boot up and get onto the network, no matter what happens on boot, so that I have a chance to actually fix the problem. Lately when it boots it runs into an NFS mounting error, claiming that some of my NFS-mounted drives have unexpected inconsistencies. It says unexpected error - help! and then quits to a /bin/sh single-user-mode prompt. As I am 10 miles away, this is decidedly unhelpful. I don't care if it can't mount some irrelevant drive or not; I want it to boot up and ask me questions later. Is there a way that I can set the machine to do its best to boot no matter what it finds at boot time? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, - Jason PS -- Boot messages not available, as the machine is down at the moment and I can't get over there to type enter exitenter until later this afternoon. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

process will not die.
While running an mpirun job on my dual-processor SMP system (FreeBSD 4-STABLE from August 28), my program (initiated with the command line 'mpirun -np 2 ../sphagr') periodically dies, leaving a process that I can't kill -9. Here's the top: 216 root 2 0 166M 113M select 1 27:44 3.22% 3.22% XFree86 327 jbarnes2 0 72364K 58056K poll 1 6:53 0.00% 0.00% kdeinit 549 jbarnes 28 0 400M 90744K CPU0 0 3:02 0.00% 0.00% sphagr 267 jbarnes2 0 23388K 10932K poll 1 0:42 0.00% 0.00% kdeinit here's ps -auxw | grep sph: jbarnes 549 0.0 8.7 410076 90744 p2 R 3:39PM 3:01.97 sphagr -p4pg /usr/home/ jbarnes 550 0.0 0.0 00 p2 Z 3:39PM 0:00.00 (sphagr) The 550 process I kill -9ed, but its still there, and now when I try to kill it it says 'no such process'. Has anyone else had any experience with mpi processes being unkillable? Supposedly 5.3 has better SMP support -- might it solve this problem?

Re: safe mode for kernel.old
Then what's the safe mode in the boot screen in 5.2.1, and how is it different than single user mode? Thanks for your patience with me on this issue. AFAIK, among others doesn't set DMA disk access. syctl: hw.ata.ata_dma=0 hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 This seems to have fixed the problem, it must have been a DMA conflict in some way. Thank you so much for your help! - Jason Barnes ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
safe mode for kernel.old
I managed to build a kernel that won't mount root. Furthermore, I have a separate issue whereby the system hangs when I boot normally, but works fine when in safe mode. My question is: how do I load kernel.old and then run it in safe mode?

Re: safe mode for kernel.old
Wow -- this is weird, but when I try that the machine locks up right after loading the old kernel, after the little -/|\ series finishes. Additionally, safe mode and single-user mode are distinct. Is there a boot -safe that will boot into SAFE mode? Thanks for your help, - Jason Interrupt the boot countdown to get the boot prompt, then enter boot -s kernel.old I managed to build a kernel that won't mount root.

CUPS server-error-service-unavailable error
Greetings -questioneers. I am having trouble getting started with cups.

devfs in 5.0
I am sorry to bother you all with this, but I fundamentally don't understand the new devfs system in 5.0. I am trying to get a usb mouse working -- under 4.x I would do cd /dev ./MAKEDEV usm0 and it would work! Now it says that I don't have to, that it should already be there. But of course it isn't. So now what do I do? The fancy automatic system isn't working, or more likely I'm not using it correctly. Is there a good, long, thorough, technical discussion with examples of how to get new devices into /dev with devfs out there somewhere?
