need an advice on kernel post install
Hello, How to preserve some kernel loadable modules from to be moved to /boot/kernel.old during the kernel 'make install' and leave them in /boot/kernel untouched. The reason is that I have several modules in my system (e.g., kqemu.ko if_ndis.ko, ndis.ko, etc.), which are not the part of the kernel configuration file. They are installed per hand into the /boot/kernel but they are moved automatically into /boot/kernel.old after each '/usr/sbin/config, make clean, make depend, make all, make install' sequence. Did FreeBSD have some facility that will allow to restore the modules automatically? ... i.e., some kind of post-install patching?

kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed, what does this variable mean?
Hello, installing vmware. One have to set kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf From the name, I can deduce that shm_allow_removed means something like shared memory allow to be removed. Isn't it? But what are the consequences from the use of this variable?

I want to get rid of my home Windows box. Any suggestions? I'm kinda new, but I am trying to learn. Take a look on /var/log/ppp.log. Probably, it will give you a bit more insights. On another note, I tried pptp few days ago and did not succeed, then I moved to mpd and it has working. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to set BIOSPIO for a ata
Hello, Is there an option to set a specific transfer mode for an ata device, namely BIOSPIO for acd0 (acd0 on ata1-master)? The system waits a bit during boot and emits a message: -- ata1-master: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE timed out ata1-master: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE timed out -- and then -- acd0: DVDR HL-DF-ST DVD-RW GWA-4080N/0C09 at ata1-master BIOSPIO -- I assume that the ata device driver tries to set a higher transfer mode for the DVD drive, fails, and then assigns the BIOSPIO transfer mode. I want to let the system not to try different transfer modes, but assign a specific one. The usual hint -- hw.ata.ata_dma=0 -- did not work The system is: FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #2: on HP nx9105, a laptop.
