Any suggestions? --Eric Wolfe You don't need it. Just upgrade your source tree via cvsup and make buildworld and installworld. You can find further information about this kind of upgrading in FreeBSD Handbook. Anyway, FreeBSD 5.x has a new, better and faster filesystem and if You want to use it You should repartition your hard drive with an 5.4 install disc, but You could just refresh to 5.4 and keep the old filesystem untouched.

4.7-RELEASE bootable CD-R to replace files

Do I just select Label from /stand/sysinstall (as fdisk information looks fine) and label the root mountpoint / then select bin, compat, libraries etc or will this possibly OVERWRITE a directory I currently have (mounted) such as /root/mydocuments/ ??

Ran through kernel conf again to confirm no new gotchas and all required deviations for my setup were followed. Nothing looks fishy. Then: 1. Tried second procedure as documented 2. Failure at some point I don't recall due to physical memory or swap size How/why is this kernel ending up 0-sized with no error message? I played with the kernel protection as documented in the troubleshooting sections. Everything seems normal. Must I set kern_security level 0 before I begin?

strange problem with 4.7-RELEASE-p13 and 'make buildworld'
Hi, I'm not sure if this is related to p13 or not, but while I was doing a 'make buildworld' on p13 today my system crashed, no messages, just powered off. I was able to duplicate this twice. At first I thought this may be due to heat, since my machine is in a location where it is a bit warm, and all the compilation get's the CPU quite warm. While I was diagnosing this, I realized Friday night I added ipsec support to my kernel config and installed a kernal that supports ipsec. So I put my GENERIC kernel back in place then did a 'make buildworld' of p13 and all worked fine. Is this just a coincidence? Or did the extra code for ipsec (I'm not currently running any ipsec tunnels) add just enough to push the CPU over the edge?

(i'm under FreeBSD 4.7) does somebody know how to resolve this problem? thank you! ___ when i try to mount a msdos partition with sysinstall-Label (i talk about 4.7 again) i get: Segmentation fault (core dumped) or devtype - #DEBUG: MakeDev: Unknown major/minor and i get out of sysinstall. now with 5.0 and extended partitions: i created with fdisk or PartitionMagic a FAT16 primary partition (type 6) and an extented partition (type 15). inside this extented partition i created FAT32 logicals partitions (type 11). i installed Win98 on these. then i installed FreeBSD on my 2nd disk. in sysinstall-Fdisk, FreeBSD show my extented partition (ad0s2) but not my logicals partitions. in sysintall-label, it don't show my extented partition. for example i have: PartMount Size Newfs - ad0s1 none 509MB DOS ad1s1a none 256MB * ad1s1b swap496MB SWAP ad1s1e none 256MB * ad1s1f none 256MB * ad1s1g none 3224MB * (a - /; e - /var; f - /tmp; g - /usr) in /dev, i have ad0s2.

Lucent winmodem on A7V board vs. FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE
[This message has also been posted.] Can I make this Lucent/Agere winmodem work on FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE? The 4.7 kernel identifies this as: pci0: unknown card (vendor 0x11c1, dev 0x48c) at 10.0 when I tell the BIOS that I have a pnp-unaware OS, it sticks it on irq 5 and irq 5 gets appended to the above.

Short form: configure needs to be regenerated in the top-level and saslauthd directories after adding two lines to the aclocal.m4 files, to have LIB_CRYPT defined before the GSSAPI checks are made.

Re: routing problem on 4.7 release

The problem is that this box never sees the outside world normally; it does IDS on an IP-less interface and of course has a backnet interface.

It may be possible to correct the problem by adding to the file /etc/hosts. Note: I do not have the computer in question setup on a network. 2. Once GNOME is running: Error Message: Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error. Under details: Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from OAF when attempting to locate the factory. Killing oafd and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem. Note: I killed the oafd process, restarted Nautilus and the same error was produced. 3. Sound card not detected: VT8233 (also not detected under Red Hat 8.0) I tried adding [ snd_via8233=YES ] to /boot/loader.conf as suggested in a FAQ. That did not fix the problem. The older versions of the VT8233 are supported on Linux. Don't know about FreeBSD. 4. Is there a graphical login option available for FreeBSD?

Sendmail hanging on startup usually indicates a DNS problem --- sendmail puts a lot of effort into looking up the local host and the addresses of it's interfaces in the DNS in order to work out what it's FQDN should be and so forth.

Guessing further, you might have a disk geometry setting that the FreeBSD OS itself is happy with for installation, etc, but which your BIOS doesn't like to support booting. The boot0 boot loader uses the BIOS to load the OS. For one thing, your a (/) partition might have to be in the first 1024 cylinders. The boot0cfg man page says it can boot past that with BIOS support (if you use the packet option), but the installer probably doesn't use that for some reason (and I tried it on a fairly modern OS with LBA disk addressing and it couldn't boot past 1024 anyway).

4.7-Release Won't Boot
Hi, I am attempting an installation of 4.7 Release made from ISO a few days ago on the following system: AMD Athlon 1400 Aopen AK77-333 MB Western Digital Caviar 20GB Hard Disk The system boots from CD A OK, and runs through the install without any problems, upon reboot after the install is complete the system reports a disk error and FreeBSD will not boot from the hard drive, it does not begin loading FreeBSD or anything at all. Other OS's have worked on the same hardware with no problems, I verified the C/H/S settings for the FDISK, and they are okay, I have tried installing with the FreeBSD boot manager, as well as with the old Dangerously Dedicared mode, to no avail. I'm not really sure where I can go from here. I suspected a problem with the hard disk at first but I have run all the Western Digital diagnostics on it, and they come out clean. It is running at ATA100 with the proper cabling, and FreeBSD detects this, it also appears that all of the install files DO copy to the drive, as I can use the system immediately after the install from the Emergency shell on VTY4, right now it is online as such running Seti@Home packets without any problems, any help would be MUCHLY appreciated, thanks!

Re: FreeBSD 4.7-Release Won't Boot (Non-MIME)
are you able to boot the kernel on the drive from the cdrom? (by interrupting the boot loader on the cdrom and specifying the hard drive and kernel) play with your BIOS setting, maybe you have to enable large disk support or something. do you see the boot0 prompt at all (i think it says something like F1: FreeBSD)?? if you tried to install without boot manager and it still didn't boot up freebsd, it's almost like your BIOS doesn't know how to load the MBR, so maybe your BIOS settings are messed up. I had problems with boot0 before, the FreeBSD Handbook and the FAQ's disk/fs/boot section were really helpful. also look into boot(8). /ayn On 0, Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, My apologies for the re-post, I sent first MIME-Encoded by mistake, Hi, I am attempting an installation of 4.7 Release made from ISO a few days ago on the following system: AMD Athlon 1400 Aopen AK77-333 MB Western Digital Caviar 20GB Hard Disk The system boots from CD A OK, and runs through the install without any problems, upon reboot after the install is complete the system reports a disk error and FreeBSD will not boot from the hard drive, it does not begin loading FreeBSD or anything at all.

Problems building cyrus-sasl2 on FREEBSD-4.7-RELEASE
(Note: the first two tries at sending this apparently got eaten by the ether... in case they show up, please know that I am now subscribed to the list.) I am having problems building the cyrus-sasl2 port on 4.7-RELEASE; no matter how I attempt to override it, it keeps deciding that the gssapi-dir should be /usr/local instead of /usr. (When I built world for 4.7, it placed the Heimdal-style gssapi libraries in /usr/lib, but the cyrus-sasl2 port keeps trying to link with nonexistent MIT-style gssapi libraries in /usr/local/lib.) How can I convince cyrus-sasl2 that I really do have Heimdal-style libraries in /usr/lib?

No. Reading the man page for mailwrapper reveals that /usr/sbin/sendmail is usually a symbolic link to it, but on my system /usr/sbin/sendmail is linked to /usr/local/sbin/sendmail, which I believe is the postfix-installed version. Instead of symlinking /usr/sbin/sendmail - /usr/local/sbin/sendmail, you could use mailwrapper the way it was designed to work, and leave the sendmail symlink in /usr/sbin to mailwrapper. Then, configure mailwrapper by editing /etc/mail/mailer.conf and pointing mailwrapper to the proper paths. I'm thinking I want to avoid making mailwrapper? What happens if I DO make it when I don't really need it?

panic using new install of 4.7 RELEASE
I have a fresh install of 4.7 RELEASE on a AMD K6-200 with 32 MB RAM. And, I keep getting kernel panics. The first sign of any problem was while I was installing. I checked the CD for md5sum errors. But, it was ok. So, I tried an FTP (passive) install. Still, every attempt crapped out until I finally selected the minimal install. All that I can remember it would say was, syncing disks... Now that I have an installation, another problem occurs when I run portsdb -Uu. It get about 5 minutes through and then it panics and does an automatic reboot. I've tried to capture the messages to screen. But, it usually reboots before I can write it all down. One message on the screen that I haven't been able to catch completely says something like: panic: vm_object_deallocated allocated too many times. Another message is longer and stays on screen. It says: quote Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xc4427f42 fault code= supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer= 0x8:0xc0376d4f stack pointer = 0x10:0xc41f2c88 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc41f2c90 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 84538 (sh) interrupt mask = none trap number=12 panic: page fault syncing disks... /qoute My guess is that I have some bad memory or something.

Yes I just installed the nvidia drivers for my TI 4200 card and ymessenger crashes the machine, it just makes some clicking sounds from the sound card and then reboots without syncing disks. I am running Xfree 4.2.0_1, libraries 4.2.1_3, server 4.2.1_5 and client 4.2.1_2 this is greater than required by the nvidia instructions. The driver did get rid of the missing pixels in the xterm window but you cant use the machine reliable anymore. I am getting this error in netscape now also, translation table unknown keysym name somekeyname I tried deinstalling it and reinstalling 4.8 without change. next is to change the xserver driver and see if that changes anything. I just downloaded and tried out quake3 demo. worked fine. no crashes. i have to try out the timedemo and ut2003. Running 'timedemo demoname' will give me the fps, right? Rather than instantaneous, can I get an average fps with this command? Regards Gautham To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Creative VIBRA 128 under 4.7-RELEASE
I am having trouble getting 4.7-RELEASE to use my sound card, a Creative VIBRA 128 PCI. (Known in other regions of the world as a Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI, Soundblaster 16 PCI, and Audio PCI 128, according to the manual.) The card is PnP-compatible (according to the manual), so following the Handbook (§ 16.2.1.1) I added the following to my kernel configuration file: device pcm device sbc However, the system apparently isn't finding the card; during booting there aren't any messages, error or otherwise, concerning pcm or sbc. During boot I do get: pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x1102, dev=0x8938) at 10.0 irq 12 and pciconf -vl says (in part): none0@pci0:10:0:class=0x040100 card=0x59381102 chip=0x89381102 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Creative Labs' device = 'EV1938 Sound' class= multimedia subclass = audio This suggests to me that the system is finding the card (on IRQ 12), but apparently doesn't want to use it. I have also tried (from the sbc(4) man page): device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 with various IRQs and other settings, but also to no success. I have popped the case to confirm the card is installed correctly, and apparently it worked fine under Windows during testing (so the guy at the computer store tells me). Has anybody managed to get this kind of card working? -- Christopher Franks [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Sendmail not relaying to localhost (4.6 and 4.7 RELEASE)
Hi all, I had a weird problem a while ago that after installing FreeBSD 4.6 RELEASE sendmail was not accepting local mail for delivery. After looking at mail -v user I saw that sendmail was not accepting relaying for the localhost. Now I could telnet to localhost on port 25 and that worked so SMTP itself was running. The problem turned out to be that in /etc/hosts the following was missing: ::1 localhost Now I thought that maybe that was an isolated problem with FBSD4.6 but I install 4.7 last night (Mini ISO) and had the exact same problem. The /etc/hosts file did not have ::1 I have been told that the ::1 is a IPV6 loopback? Is that correct? Why would it seem to be missing from the install?

Re: 4.7-release, compaq smart array 3200 SMP
I am giving up on this problem and chalking it up to a very similiar bug that's been in open the buglist for a year or so. I also tried upgrading the controller firmware to 4.5, tried booting using the verbose option and w/kernel debugging turned on, but I couldn't identify any errors giving me a clue why the kernel seems to hang mounting the root filesystem. Instead I am dumping the smart array and going back to the onboard scsi controller in order to build an SMP kernel. -j On Wed, Nov 06, 2002 at 10:10:30AM -0800, James Long wrote: I'm no expert, but what is the firmware level of the controller?

No, it isn't, the problem is that you're running at 8bit colour depth, hence, the problems with colour allocation. Change the default colour depth to 16 or 24, that should fix it. Either by starting X with 'startx -- -bpp 16' or by editing the config file. Here's the relevant part of the log... - (II) Setting vga for screen 0. (==) ATI(0): Chipset: ati.

Now I got all the colors and the log shows: (**) ATI(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 (--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp But, um, was this supposed to be obvious? :-) My (wrong) intuition thought that using fewer bits per pixel would mean less memory required, thus helping things out, or something...

Upgrading to 4.7-RELEASE
I am currently working on two FreeBSD 4.6.2 servers, and wish to upgrade to 4.7-RELEASE. I have tried to find information about performing this task, but am having trouble trying to grasp exactly what each distribution type of FreeBSD means. -STABLE can be upgraded to using the (well documented) cvsup, make buildworld, mergemaster etc process, as can -CURRENT, but it would seem to me that -RELEASE is given out only as ISO images, as far as I can see. Is it possible to upgrade a 4.6.2 FreeBSD box to 4.7-RELEASE using the cvsup/make buildworld procedure, or am I better off downloading the mini-ISO or floppy disk images and running a Sysinstall upgrade from there? Is what I am wanting to do a waste of time (ie. should I just go straight to 4.7-STABLE? -- please don't ask why upgrade to 4.7-RELEASE ... I just want to know how to do it, should I some day need it) Regards, Michael Ritchie ps. apologies if it looks like my '-stable, -release and -current's look like i'm yelling -- copied them off the fbsd ftp site.

Good advice, 'newbie' or not I followed the handbook's instructions for -STABLE but replaced RELENG_4 with RELENG_4_7 in the cvsupfile, and successfully ended up with 4.7-RELEASE-p1, the patched version of 4.7-RELEASE. If you for some reason need an unpatched 4.7-RELEASE, that is also possible. In that case you need another tag, which I have been told is RELENG_4_7_0_RELEASE. Note: I have not tried that one myself, so I am not sure if that is correct.

But I can tell you that if you follow the debugging instructions on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html you stand a much better chance of getting a reply! Also, you might want to try [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you don't get a reply on questions. Best of luck. Andrew.

Process inexplicably blocks after upgrading to 4.7-RELEASE
After upgrading a diskless client and the respective NFS server from FreeBSD 4.1 to FreeBSD 4.6 (and now 4.7) I have been having trouble with a process on a client blocking for about 15 seconds every 10-20 minutes. The process is an MP3 player (mpg123), so I can not really afford to have it block for that long. The mpg123 process runs on the diskless client, reading data from the server and playing the music locally. Every so often mpg123 stops playing music for about 15 seconds. An strace(1) on the mpg123 process shows it waiting for a write(2) on /dev/dsp to return. If however I break into the kernel debugger on the client and trace the mpg123 stack frame I always find it blocked in the following sequence: sbwait(...) soreceive(...) nfs_send(...) nfs_reply(...) nfs_request(...) nfs_readrpc(...) nfs_getpages(...) vnode_pager_freepage(...) vm_fault(...) trap(...) trap(...) (at that point the stack trace stops due to a page fault while in kernel mode). The problem first manifested itself when the client and server were upgraded from FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE to 4.6.2-RELEASE-p2. The problem also occurs when the client runs 4.7-RELEASE-p1. On the client side the network and ethernet card are configured as follows: ed0 at port 0x240-0x25f iomem 0xd8000 irq 9 on isa0 ed0: address 00:00:e8:32:81:e8, type NE2000 (16 bit) pcm0: CS4231 at port 0x530-0x537,0x538-0x539,0xf8c-0xf94,0xe0e irq 10 drq 1 flags 0xa110 on isa0 No messages are logged on the client side; on the server I found a few nfsd send error 64 (EHOSTDOWN) messages, but I think these were generated after staying too long in the kernel debugger. I would really appreciate any ideas on how to resolve this problem, or suggestions on how to further attack it.

Freecom Traveller II DVD-Drive (USB 1.0) under FreeBSD 4.7-release
Hello all! :-) Is there any way how i can use this driver under FreeBSD? It is currently being detected as devive ugen0, but i am unable to mount it. Also, ugen0 is not the drive itself, but is called Freecom USB-IDE Controller. Any suggestions on what to do? TIA :-) Bye Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Download all the files from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RELEASE/src/ b. Run the install.sh script as root. Maybe they'd make a good src/README. I just took www.freebsd.org's Getting FreeBSD link. Perhaps. This is not a bad point altogether. I'm reading again some of the messages I have in my local mailbox. Apparently, a lot of people are thinking about src/README. In this particular case, it's probably a chicken and egg problem, since src/README cannot help one locate the sources, because it is part of the sources... But you're right at least in this; that there is a need for better documentation in Getting FreeBSD. The official sources for FreeBSD are available via anonymous FTP from: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/. Then you get to poke around a big directory tree until you blunder across releases/i386/4.7-RELEASE/src/. Our intrepid OP apparently managed to get that far, but was probably too worn down to try looking for and decyphering the install.sh script. I don't mind the occasional question. I'm glad that pointing him to the install.sh script did the trick, and now he probably has his sources downloaded with FTP. Giorgos.
