9.0 install problems

[Henry Olyer]

When I boot the CD I get a different menu, ie., boot, shell, install.

Since the CD is in the CD-ROM drawer and I know how to use sysinstall (or
so I thought!,) I get a fresh shell and say sysinstall.

Okay?

Except I can't write the disk.  Notice, I have not explicitly mounted it or
done anything to reserve it.

I need a procedure to do this please.

It's just a small machine.  But having this up let's me do a backup and
once I've backed up the disks on my other computers, then I can do some
serious stuff with 9.0.

I'd like to use sysinstall, if possible.  I know it and I like it.  I do
have some other FBSD boxes nearby, each with TCP/IP running fine;  But I'm
not knowledgeable with PXE.

You don't go back far enough to show the actual error that kicks things
out to the makefile, so all I can tell you is: it works fine for me, so
make sure you make clean before trying to build graphviz.

The probe shows a lot of 'unknown' in relation to the ACPI, which I

Install problems on Dell Vostro

[Jerahmy Pocott]

Hello,

I'm having difficulties getting 6.2 installed on these new Dell  
'Vostro' systems.


The BIOS is a Phoenix - AwardBIOS and it reports the version as 1.0.3.

With the SATA controller set to IDE mode (default) in the BIOS  
booting FreeBSD
will hang just before entering sysinstall, booting with ACPI disabled  
stops this
but then no disk drives are found! I got around this by setting the  
SATA mode to
RAID in the BIOS (this seems to make the disk appear as SCSI), then  
it doesn't
crash with ACPI enabled (with ACPI disabled no disks are found still)  
and the

disk is found.

The system only has USB inputs (8 of them) and with the USB  
Controller set
to 'High Speed' in the BIOS, the keyboard stops working once  
sysinstall starts
(though it works in the boot menu), however setting it to 'Full/Low  
Speed' makes
it work in sysinstall. I probably don't care about using High Speed  
USB devices
any way, but it would be nice if they could work, but this isn't the  
major issue.


Now finally I can get into sysinstall and partition the disk, but the  
network interface
is not detected. It says it is an 'Intel 82562V-2' (on board), but I  
see no probes about
it on booting FreeBSD. Is this interface supported? Any ideas on  
getting it detected?


I feel the ACPI might be a problem? On booting it is reported as  
'ACPI: Dell FX 09'


Thanks!
J.

Re: libXfont install problems from ports

[james]

 I'm having issues with six or seven ports installing. I've traced it
 back to two ports that are having issues, one of which is libXfont.

 The version I've got installed is:

 evolution# pkg_info -Ix libXfont
 libXfontcache-1.0.4 The Xfontcache library

 The version in ports is 1.3.1

Re: PowerApp 120/1550 Install problems

sysinstall will frequently silently fail on the physical partitioning

appropriate slice entries

Show us your partition and slice tables?

Thanks for the answer Don, but I finally figured it out.  Apparently  
the drive I had wasn't negotiating the right speed with the  
backplane.  When I manually clocked it down, everything works great.

Hi, 
I see that you are getting the Kernel not found message. In FreeBSD, I guess 
you have to explicitly install the Kernel. It can be found under 
DISTRIBUTION, Kernel - Generic / SMP. Select the one you want to. and let it 
install the kernel. 
Then follow the other installation steps, and then it should run properly. 

I also am new to FreeBSD. Doing what is mentioned above solved the problem for 
me. :)
Just wondering why the FreeBSD installer doesn't include the Kernel by 
default!

This happens when you don't select a distribution set, select the one 
that is applicable to your needs, if you don't know what to choose, 
select Minimal.

Did you burn it as an ISO, to make a bootable disk?  This is one of the
options in many Windows CD packages such as Nero, and it is essential
that you do this.

Re: 6.1 install problems with creating partitions

[Eric Dan]

I actually followed both the handbook and The Complete FreeBSD book's
installtion carefully, and yet i still get the same error, the installer
can't create the file system and install aborts.
I've tried using the auto option for both fdisk and disklable, i've
tried shared os, i've tried sacrificing the entire disk.
Is this really me making a mistake or is it possible that the iso has
some problems.
here are the errors:

 You may need to drop some more assumptions that you are 
 bringing from the Linux world -- you seem to be trying to 
 manually impose the Linux way of dividing up the space, but 
 that is really not what a typical FreeBSD partition/slice 
 scheme looks like.
 
 As long as you have essentially wiped the drive already, you 
 can use the FreeBSD installer's Auto Defaults option to get 
 a look at what the installer is expecting you to do, and then 
 tune that as desired. On the FDISK screen, press A to use the 
 whole disk, then on the Disklabel screen press A again for 
 Auto Defaults.
 
 Or, have a closer look at the handbook for more details,
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html
 (esp. figure 2-22)

6.1 install problems with creating partitions

[Eric Dan]

trying to install 6.1 on my secondary master partition or slice 2.
I come from linux so please be forgiving with the naming or slices and
partitions.
i created a 40G slice on ad3 with fdisk, then with disklabel i created a
4g /a 512M swap and the rest for /home
i used the S option on the / partition.
the installer gives me and error saying that it wasn't able to create
the partions on the slice and the install aborts.
what can i do?
i don't wanna give up that ext3 part on this drive.

thanks

Re: 6.1 install problems with creating partitions

[Eric Dan]

update:
I actually backed up the ext3 to another hard drive and got rid of all
partitions and slices on that drive.
installer still can't do it.
the exact error says:
unable to make new root file system on ad3sa1
then i hit return and it says:
couldn't make file system properly

any ideas?

You may need to drop some more assumptions that you are bringing 
from the Linux world -- you seem to be trying to manually impose 
the Linux way of dividing up the space, but that is really not 
what a typical FreeBSD partition/slice scheme looks like.


As long as you have essentially wiped the drive already, you can use 
the FreeBSD installer's Auto Defaults option to get a look at what 
the installer is expecting you to do, and then tune that as desired. 
On the FDISK screen, press A to use the whole disk, then on the 
Disklabel screen press A again for Auto Defaults.


Or, have a closer look at the handbook for more details,
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html
(esp. figure 2-22)

make install problems

[hellbinder]

I've encontered a problem when I tried to make install xfce4 from
ports collection. When pango was installing the error occured
libexpat.so.5 needed by /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so not found.
Error code 1 
I've tried to locate and give the path through -rpath parameter but
it's nowhere on the disk. I've also tried to:
pkg_add -r pango
but it gave the same result.
make install OPTIONS=FORCE_PKG_REGISTER
is not helping in this case
How to solve this problem??

thanks
hellbinder

PS. Can absence of libexpat.so.5 be caused by the way I've build my
kernel?? If so what to add in config file??

I think it's installed with expat. Should be in ports under 
/usr/ports/textproc. Hunt for it there, and you should be all set.

More likely by the way you update your ports.

6.0 install problems in HP DL380 Array 5i

[Miguel]

Hi, im having some problems when installing freebsd 6.0 in a DL380 with 
smart array 5i controller, i have a RAID 1 using two 36G disks,
i can create the slide and partition without problems, when sysinstall 
is installing the doc part, this messages suddently appear in screen:


Write failure on transfer ! (Wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes), after 
pressing the ok button, this appears:


Unable to transfer the doc distribution from acd0

acd0 is the cdrom, according to dmesg:

acd0: CDROM COMPAQ CD-ROM at at0-master PIO4

i did check the media and it is ok:

shiva1 var # md5sum -c CHECKSUM.MD5
6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso: OK
6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso: OK

I dont know if this is related to my other post about the hang on boot,  
you can read it here:


http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-questionsm=113147447325120w=2

I decided to try a ftp install, sysinstall finished without any problem.
Now when im rebooting  the server, it hangs for about 2 minutes, exactly 
at this line:


[...dmesg output...]
Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec
acd0: CDROM COMPAQ CD-ROM SN-124/N104 at ata0-master PIO4
da0 at ciss0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: COMPAQ RAID 1  VOLUME OK Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 135.168MB/s transfers
da0: 34727MB (71122560 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 8716C)

After the 2 minutes hang,  the server booted in the normal way, i dont 
see any error messages.This also happened when i was trying to install 
with the cd, sysinstall started after the 2 minutes delay but i got the 
error described above. This make nervous about some conflict or 
potential problem with the hardisk or cdrom or even the array 
controllers somewhere, i dont have any clue about what could be my 
problem, and i have to have running in production this server by the 
weekend, any hints?

Yes, I recently upgraded an ML350 with a SA-641 card to 6.0-RC1. 
That one too stalls at boot at the same place. 
Not 2 minutes, but like 45 seconds.
No problem installing via cd though.

Re: floppy install problems with strange message

[Rino Mardo]

yes this are made fresh from the fbsd ftp server. i've also checked
the distribution set in options and it is set correct (5.4-RELEASE).
the handbook only mentioned setting the Release name as far as cvsup
is concerned.

i found warning messages from tty2 though:

DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file
DEBUG: Warning: Zero length name or value passed to variable_set2(httpFtpMode)


the last one appeared six times in a row.

floppy install problems with strange message

[Rino Mardo]

hello, i'm trying a floppy install of the 5.4-RELEASE and whatever ftp
site i choose i would get the following message:

No such directory: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/5.4-RELEASE
please check the URL and try again.


i know the snapshot directory doesn't exist (if i ftp directly to the
server) so how come this would come for the floppy install?

press 6 when you get to the boot prompt (with an ascii pic) and type in

Install Problems

[Bryan]

During the install for
5.2.1 or 5.3 Release, immediately after I select my installation means,
I'm
given the error Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: Input/output error
(5)
after which I'm told unable to initialize selected media. Would you
like to
adjust your media configuration and try again?.

I copied the above from a post I found searching google.  This is the
exact problem I have.  I have tried a different cdrom and another hard
drive with no differences.  I previously had 5.2.1 installed on this
same computer.  Now I can't even get that version to install.  I've
tried new ribbon cables, swapping from primary master to secondary. I've
checked the bios a dozen times. Everything looks normal.  What am I
missing?

Thanks for the time
Bryan

5.3RC2 and usb keyboards install problems

[eodyna]

Hi there,
 
Work recently purchased a Dell gx280. I orignally installed 5.2.1 and had 
problems with drivers. It was kindly mentioned that i should install 5.3 to 
help with these problems. I was also informed about problems with usb keyboards 
on boot/startup.
 
Ive tried to have a look on google and couldn't come up with any solutions. I 
have tried to install 5.3 (from cd) however, sysinstall doesn't respond at all, 
on any of the options i choose to boot from. The BIOS doesn't have an option 
for keyboard for me to make changes. dmesg output before the sysinstall screen 
says atkdb0 [GIANT-LOCKED].
 
I dont know how to set  set hint.atkbd.0.flags=0x1 if i cant access the 
keyboard, and the OS isn't installed for me to make any changes.
 
apologies for my ignorance and confusion.
 
if someone can point me in the right direction and or help me, id be very 
grateful.
 
thank-you in advance.

   Ive tried to have a look on google and couldn't come up with any
   solutions. I have tried to install 5.3 (from cd) however, sysinstall
   doesn't respond at all, on any of the options i choose to boot from.
   The BIOS doesn't have an option for keyboard for me to make changes.
   dmesg output before the sysinstall screen says atkdb0
   [GIANT-LOCKED].



   I dont know how to set  set hint.atkbd.0.flags=0x1 if i cant
   access the keyboard, and the OS isn't installed for me to make any
   changes.



   apologies for my ignorance and confusion.



   if someone can point me in the right direction and or help me, id be
   very grateful.



   thank-you in advance.

5.3 rc2 kernel install problems

I just got the new 5.3 rc2 cvsuped the sources (not much was updated
that i could see) and proceeded to do a make buildworld and make

Yes..i did a make buildkernel first...  Since i got no response (i know
it' hasn't even been a day) and i was overly anxious...i saved the
custom kernel i had configured  (but NOT built from as i wanted to test
a GENERIC first) and then blew away the /usr/src and /usr/obj
directories  i cvsuped again all of the src and have run a make
buildworld and am currently running make buildkernelhopefully i had
just botched something.

One thing i started wondering about  I kept my /var/db/sup direcory
in tact..so it should have all of the stuff i have checked out or
whatever the terminology is.  So when i ran cvsup it downloaded
everything, why did it not think that i just had the differences between
my checkout files and the cvsup repository?

5.2.1 Install Problems

[Tom Moyer]

I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on a new computer.  The motherboard is an Asus 
P4P800-E with a P4 2.4 GHz.  If i boot with ACPI it gets to the point where it says 
Writing partition information to drive ... and just hangs no messages or anything.  
If I disable ACPI it panics during hardware probing.  Anybody use this MB and have any 
clue what might be wrong?

Fwd: Install problems, Netfinity 5k w/Adaptec RAID

[Blake Meike]

Hi,
  I asked this question last week.  I got a very prompt and somewhat 
useful answer: this is a known bug in 5.2.1: use 4.9.

  Thanks very much.  Would anyone be willing to tell me which known bug 
this is, so that I can track its progress, and thus know when it is 
safe for me to move to 5.x?  I'm also more than a little interested in 
knowing what's going wrong...

Many thanks,
  Blake Meike

Subject: Install problems, Netfinity 5k w/Adaptec RAID
Hi,
  I'm hoping this will be easy to solve -- or at least easy to 
diagnose.  I'm new to FreeBSD, so I just don't know where to look yet.

I have a Netfinity 5k, .6Gh SMP with an Adaptec RAID.  It runs all 
manner of Linuxes just fine.  I'd like to start running BSD instead.

Install from CD fails.  If I leave APIC on, the boot into the 
installer gets as far as a message that says:

Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec

Actually, if I wait a very long time, I get one more message:

md0: Preloaded image /boot/mfsroot  ...

If, on the other hand, I turn off APIC, I get into the installer just 
fine.  When I try to set the media to CD, however, installer tells me 
that I have no CD drives (despite the fact that is is running from 
one!)

I'd appreciate any suggestions that would help me:
1) identify the hardware that is causing the stall, so I can pull it 
out
2) explain to the installer where my CD drive is, with APIC off

Many thanks,
  Blake Meike

Install problems RE: bootloader

[Lance Earl]

I have made the decision to move from Linux to FreeBSD as the OS for our
web server and desktops because I am more comfortable with the FreeBSD
philosopy.

I have a small network in my office that consisted of several Linux boxes
and one computer with Windows on hd0 and Linux on hd1.

The install on the straight Linux boxes has gone without a hitch. The
Windows/Linux Box is another story. During the install, it tells me that
since I am installion FreeBSD on hd1, that I will have a chance to install
the bootloader to hd0 at a later time. I have installed the OS twice and
on both occasions I am never given an opportunity to install the boot
loader.

The OS will install without a problem, but when I reboot the machine, it
hangs with GRUB being the last thing displayed on the moniter. What have I
missed?

Install problems

[Darryl Hoar]

I have a computer that I have had Freebsd on previously.  I recently
re-installed 5.1-release on it as I was going to make it a firewall.
Well, I pulled one of the nic out, and have been trying to do a 
full install from ftp.

So,
I boot using the (2) floppies.  Go through the standard install
(blow away partition, create, etc).  When I get to the media
source and choose FTP, then selected the default ftp.freebsd.org.

I tries, and comes back to the media selection screen.  I have 
tried (last night) all the USA ftp servers with the same result.
Tried a different NIC.  Same result.  Tried a different port on
my switch.  Same result.  I can see it talking as the activity lights
are blinking.  I am configuring the NIC with a static internal
IP of 192.168.1.77 (my internal LAN uses 192.168.1.X).  I set
the gateway IP to my gateway (192.168.1.75).

All my machines can see the internet and each other (except
this box I'm working on).

Any ideas on the culprit ?

thanks,
Darryl

Have you tried passive ftp?

Try Alt-F2 to bring up the screen with more diagnostic information.
Getting a tcpdump(1) of the machines' attempt to open an FTP
connection should help give you clues about what's going wrong, if
you've got a handy box you can intercept the traffic from.

Install problems

[Gafgo]

Hello there! I am a newbie to FreeBSD but have read a lot of handbooks. 
I have also installed different versions on my old computer just to 
practice (incl 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1). Now I have bought a new computer and 
wanted to install 4.9 for real. But during boot up this happened:
ad0: REAL command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
ata0: resetting devices...
and there it hangs. When I tried 5.1 I had no problem. Could it be a 
hardware problem??
I hope that somebody can help me with this.
Many thanks Nicolas

RE: install problems on old Compaq Armada 4110

[Rutledge, Lincoln]

Hello,

Ok, I have manually tweaked all of the drivers by using the set
hint.driver options to match my hardware and the OpenBSD boot disk
dmesg, and I am still having the same problem.  This is on 5.2-RC1.

The 4.9 install stops at the same place as well.  I have tried this with
the PCMCIA NIC ejected.  It would be possible for me to connect to the
machine through a serial cable to get a dmesg and show where the install
hangs if it would help.

If this is a dumb question that is documented and I just need to RTFM,
let me know...

Check the laptop system bio's and disable plug-n-play option and
disable boot virus check option, and remove all plug-in devices from
your laptop before doing the install. Stay with FBSD 4.9 as it's the
stable production version. There is an mailing list called
FreeBSD-mobile which is just for laptop questions, you may have
better luck asking your question there.

RE: install problems on old Compaq Armada 4110

[Rutledge, Lincoln]

Hi,

Okay, the BIOS settings you describe don't exist on this old thing, and
I did eject the NIC.  I have played some more with the device settings,
and I noticed something that may help get this working:

In the OpenBSD dmesg, the keyboard controller is at isa port 0x60, while
the setting in the hint line was 0x060.  I tried 0x60 with the same
result :(  I guess PCs probably all see the keyboard at the same place,
hard coded into the specification, and I don't know how those settings
are read by the kernel.

However, through very slow reboots from the floppy set, I have noticed
while the kernel is booting this message:

atkbd0 attach returned 6

I am not a programmer, but that sounds bad.

The onboard keyboard is dead, so I am using an external PS/2 keyboard
through the PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse port.

Does this help?

Thanks,

Install Problems

[radu]

My actual computer, an AMD Duron is actually split on three OS:
Windows XP, Mandrake Linux, Slackware Linux
I want to check the FREE BSD 5.1 on it but, before, I tested it on my old PC
-
That is a Pentium based P133, 16 Mo memory, 3 G dd, Windows 95
I firstly gave all the disk to BSD and starting the install.
You mention that you need at least 5 Mo for install and 4 Mo to work.
It could be in theory. With my 16 Mo after some 17 hours I gave up.
The font75DPI package is one that never lasts.
So I decided to make a compatibilty test with Windows 95.
I made a new partitioning, some 800 Mo for Win95, the rest for BSD.I 
installed Win95
I choosed a minimum install, I was trapped choosing Linux 
applications, quite long, ending with an error.
I re-started, avoiding Linux appli. Install operated in a reasonable 
short time.
--
But, my actual problem is:

After install and rebooting I could'nt access BSD neither Windows.
I tried, after reinstalling Win, all the modes of booting.
MBR, does'nt work in neither OS
No change of boot area: freeze all systems, a message displayed : error 
in intializing OS.
The best results: SBR. It displays on booting F1 Dos, F2 BSD
But function keys F1 and F2 are simply screaming and do'nt have any 
effect. Frozen.
I'm working with an AZERTY keyboard.
That's my real problem, the long install pb is obviously due to memory size.
And second question: Why Install does'nt make an emergency diskette boot 
facility ?
You have BSD installed, no way to make it work because a BSD problem.
Thanks for your attention and eventual solution ( I am a beginner in BSD 
pbs )

Continuing 4.8 install problems

[Clay Jones]

I discovered I had 1) A bad media burn to CD, and 2) An unsupported 
network card.  I burned disk 1 of the ISO again and purchased a new 
network card from the hardware compatibility list (My realtek is 
version 82xx not 81xx).

So after re-installing, the DLink I purchased was recognized as a 
RealTek 81xx as expected.  I assigned an IP and did other network 
configuration, and then rebooted.

Everything seemed fine, but when I shut the box down, moved it to my 
server room, and booted it back up, the network interface is now not 
discovered on boot, and does not exist.  I've rebooted several times to 
no avail, the network interface may as well not exist.

Any ideas?

Turned out to be a bad cable!  Wow, it was a pretty new one too...It's 
pretty weird that it causes the network card to not even be recognized.

Thanks!

So after re-installing, the DLink I purchased was recognized as a 
RealTek 81xx as expected.  I assigned an IP and did other network 
configuration, and then rebooted.

Everything seemed fine, but when I shut the box down, moved it to my

discovered on boot, and does not exist.  I've rebooted several times 
to no avail, the network interface may as well not exist.

Any ideas?

Totally newbie - install problems

[Nagy Lszl Zsolt]

   Hi All!

I'm totally new to FreeBSD. I used Linux before but I decided to try 
FreeBSD. I just downloaded FreeBSD 4.8 from a public ftp site and 
installed a brand new system with X and full development tools. I have 
some questions. 

I read about the differences between Linux and FreeBSD. I like the idea 
that there is only one official FreeBSD. I'm going to develop cross platform, 
multi tiered applications using Python and it is nice to have a free  and 
compact system  which I can offer to my clients. But I need other packages 
like wxPython, PyCrypto and others for my work. I know I can download 
the source code and compile them. I could also find binaries but the dependency
tree is endless (and I had version problems too). I read the comparison where 
someone said FreeBSD is even better than Debian in this matter. This was one 
reason why I decided to use FreeBSD. I know the solution is out there but I don't
know where it is.  I'm looking for the FreeBSD equivalent of apt-get in Debian. 
Probably I will need to setup several client computers in the end, so an 
automated installation would be the best (download and install required 
packages/ports for the selected package/port automatically). 
Can you help me?

Sorry for the long e-mail.
Thanks in advance.

You want the ports collection; located by default in /usr/ports.  If you
didn't install it initially, you can do so with sysinstall.  Ports are
source code bundles along with FreeBSD tweaks and installation defaults. 
You want to use cvsup to update the port information database regularly,
and it's recommended that you use the portupgrade utility to handle port
interdependencies.  See the FreeBSD handbook for details on the above.

Having done so, my routine for updating all 100+ applications on my
machine is reduced to:
cvsup-ports  ; Make sure my ports database is up-to-date
pkgdb -F ; Make sure my installed packages database is consistent
portupgrade -ra  ; Download, compile, and install all updated applications

BTW, both the apps you specified are indeed in the ports collection
presently.

Hi,

 But I need other 
 packages like wxPython, PyCrypto and others for my work. I know I can 
 download the source code and compile them. I could also find binaries but 
 the dependency
 tree is endless (and I had version problems too). I read the comparison 
 where someone said FreeBSD is even better than Debian in this matter. This 
 was one reason why I decided to use FreeBSD. I know the solution is out 
 there but I don't
 know where it is.

This is where the ports collection comes into play:

First you can search it for the desired port:

% cd /usr/ports
% make search name=wxPython

Port:   py22-wxPython-2.4.0.7
Path:   /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-wxPython

% cd x11-toolkits/py-wxPython
% make install clean

(PyCrypto is also avialable in that collection).

For more information regarding the ports collection you should consult
the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html and/or ports(7).

  I'm looking for the FreeBSD equivalent of apt-get in 
 Debian. Probably I will need to setup several client computers in the end, 
 so an automated installation would be the best (download and install 
 required packages/ports for the selected package/port automatically). 

You can build your own packages with the ports collection (just use make
package instead of make install).

But if the machines will have exactly the same disk layout, setting up a
master and cloning it with dd(1) might be more efficient.

 Simon

When you install your ports, use the 'depend all' switches

cd /usr/ports/pick a port
make depend all install clean

That will install the port, it's dependencies and clean it up after.

*shrug*
make depend (without the 's') all install clean has always worked for me.
I've used that since FreeBSD 2.1 at least.

I would think if it was depends that it would say something like:

make: don't know how to make depend. Stop

So I assume that depend makes dependencies and all makes all options. I've
never really cared what the targets do individually but that's what I use
to build ports, it always builds the dependencies and I've never had
any problems using it. Maybe it's redundant or superfluous but it works
for me.

It's probably automatic by now, but yeah, you can save yourself a bit of 
typing by just using

# make install clean

- it builds all dependencies as well as the main port.  Portupgrade by 
itself won't upgrade all the dependencies.  You'll want to use the -R 
option for that.

Okay.  The man page lists it with the extra s.

I just thought maybe there was some different functionality versus just
the install target.  Actually, I often split up the make, install, and
clean steps in case it turns out I needed to use different build
options.

FTP install problems

[andy]

I have been having a hard time installing 4.7 release via ftp for almost 2
days.  I have been getting really slow download speeds of about .7-1.5 K.
I have an ADSL connection which is working fine otherwise, so I don't
think the problem is in my network.


Also, when I am able to connect to an ftp site often the download will
stop and I will be presented with the FTP site selection screen.  Anyone
know what is causing this, any help will be appreciated.  Is there
something wrong with the FTP network?  Please respond to this email
address.

Thanks in advance,

Andy

FreeBSD 5 install problems

[Scott Graham]

Trying to install FreeBSD 5.0 on an inspiron 2500.  I have 2.5GB of 
uninitialized space.  When I boot of the cdrom it begins to load everything 
for the installation and gets stuck at pci2:  PCI bus on pcib2 ...  I 
have looked at the instructions for installing this and cant figure out what 
I am doing wrong.  Has anyone installed FreeBSD before and run into a 
problem like this???  can they give me some guidance as to what is going 
wrong here???  Is there something wrong with the way I am attempting the 
installation???

Thanks

 At first, the install CD wouldn't boot at all, saying BTX halted.
 A search of the archives told me to disable DMA in the BIOS, or

 basic installation and reboot without drama.
 
 Now I have to do something about the two devices that come up
 as unknown in dmesg: audio and ethernet.
 pci0: unknown card(vendor=0x8086, dev=0x24c5) at 31.5 irq 5
 pci5: unknown card(vendor=0x8086, dev=0x103b) at 8.0 irq 5
 The important one is pci5.
 
 Again a mail archive search showed someone had a similar problem,
 used pciconf -l and looked up /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors to
 investigate, then suggested Is it enough to add 0x103b to the
 ident table?. He did, and apparently it worked fine.
 
 That seems to be what I need to do, and the same 0x103b turns out
 appropriate for my device. I have two questions:
 
   What/where is the ident table, and unless it's obvious, how do I
   put the number in?

After grepping my fingers to the bone, I found a file that not
only talked about an ident table, but also looked relevant, at
 /usr/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c
Now don't ask me what that file is about or what I did, because
I'm not sure and I don't claim it's right. I just found some
lines that related to other models and added similar info
substituting the words and numbers that I'd picked up from
things like 'dmesg | grep unknown' and 'pciconf -lv'. It was
a bit like solving one of those find-the-pattern puzzles.
Rebuilt the kernel. Reboot. Hey, I'm networked!

Now I can upgrade from 4.6-RELEASE to something more recent,
maybe even find a version of X that understands the video.

   If the nic effort is successful, can I follow similar steps
   to try to get sound going?

Well, not in that same file I don't think, it looks like it's
only about the ethernet interface. I did find a file in another
directory  that looked like it too was simply lacking info about
my hardware related to sound support, but at this point it's all
getting way too guessy to proceed.

Of course if anyone who reads this has suggestions re explaining
the hardware to X and sound, I'd love to hear from you! :-)

But if like me you can't get started with your Compaq Evo, perhaps
what I've related above will help some.

Try deinstalling the expat2 package/port with `pkg_deinstall' or
`pkg_delete'.  The run  `pkgdb -F' and fix any problems that may 
arise.  The go back to your apache build and try
again, letting the apache port install expat2 itself.  This may not
solve the underlying problem you are having with the apache port, but it
might get past the problem?

i tried the pkg_delete as well as rebuilding the packages from the ports
and then doing a make deinstall (i don't know if they're the same thing or
different).  i never knew about the pkgdb, which seems to be a pretty
interesting feature.

however, i regret to report, i am getting the exact same problem. :/

   Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache2.
   
   
   i've tried to uninstall expat and then reinstall it... i've also tried
   running portupgrade on expat... but i'm still stuck.
   
   as always, any and all help will be appreciated
  
  Try deinstalling the expat2 package/port with `pkg_deinstall' or
  `pkg_delete'.  The run  `pkgdb -F' and fix any problems that may 
  arise.  The go back to your apache build and try
  again, letting the apache port install expat2 itself.  This may not
  solve the underlying problem you are having with the apache port, but it
  might get past the problem?

 i tried the pkg_delete as well as rebuilding the packages from the ports
 and then doing a make deinstall (i don't know if they're the same thing or
 different).  i never knew about the pkgdb, which seems to be a pretty
 interesting feature.
 
 however, i regret to report, i am getting the exact same problem. :/

 any other suggestions?

Well, does library expat.4 actually exist?  If not, then what version
is the expat2 port installing?  Assuming that expat2 installs a newer
version of the library, you might be able to simply create a link named 
expat.4 and point it to the one expat installs.  Then requests for
expat.4 will simply point to the newer version, but this may only work
reliably if you are sure that the newer version of the library is 
backward compatible with the older one.
