Installed new kernel and then make buildworld and now no internet?
Hello. I just added a couple of config attributes to my make.conf, namely this (I think this is close): CPU-TYPE = athlon-xp CFLAGS = -0 -pipe COPTFLAGS = -0 -pipe Then I did a make buildkernel and make installkernel. I then rebooted into single user mode and did a make buildworld. Then I restarted and now I have no internet. I can't get any pages to come up in firefox or dillo. I tried pinging www.yahoo.com and I got 69% packet loss. Also, when I try to do portupgrade -ap to reinstall all of my ports, it can't connect to download the distfiles. What can I do to fix this?

Do it in the right order. You want a new kernel build to use the code produced by the buildworld. Now, you have a user land from one buildworld and a kernel from the previous one. Processes such a top may not even work in your environment. You boot to single user mode to test the new kernel and stop all of the competing processes. Then, you do the installworld and run mergemaster to update the configuration files.

Please help if you can
First and foremost hello, and thank you for offering a program such as this for free. I have not yet installed or tried the FreeBSD platform (am downloading it currently), but I do have a few questions before i waste more cd's to install yet another possible failure of an OS (of course not saying FreeBSD is a failure, but I'm sure you know what I mean :D) I would like to know if this OS platform supports your everday and ever so standard .EXE applications. Basically, I am wondering if FreeBSD is compatible to all of the endless softwares out there that require you to be using a certain version of Microsoft Windows? I'm not a computer genius (though for some reason many label me as that) but I know my way around the Windows platform quite well. I am not an advanced programmer in any sort, but I do try and have several different types of programming software. What I am hoping to gain out of using FreeBSD is first and foremost, rid of Windows for good. I have used Window for quite so many years now and have seen it fall more and more as more and more new versions came out. I'm finally fed up with it. But I'm afraid of one thing... that I won't have the capabilities with a Linux based OS that I did with Windows. Unfortunately, Microsoft is pretty much a monopoly, we all know that, and they pride themselves on forcing others out of business, but once again, there's the compatibility issue that I'm worried about. If you could assist me in any way to my question, I would greatly appreciate it and try FreeBSD out immediately. I sent an inquiry about another Linux based OS, and recieved a reply of we're going to be releasing a new version in the next few months, I'll hold on to this email and answer your questions upon release. I really hope I do not get this kind of response from you. I have read the background of the FreeBSD world, and greatly respect you, most of all for providing this for free instead of charging an arm and a leg for the OS per machine. I read the compatibility section for hardware but really didn't see any of mine listed, so I'll list what I have and hopefully, if you have time, you can give me a yes or no. I would love you forever if you could do that :D. My System: Shuttle XPC SS56-G Barebones with Intel Socket 478 Intel Celeron 2.4 Ghz (I know this is supported) 768MB PC2100 RAM nVidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB AGP video card Memorex 48-24-48 CDR/RW The following components are all onboard the Shuttle mainboard: Advance AC'97 sound card Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC USB and USB 2.0 That's pretty much all I use as far as hardware goes, and really the only things I wish to gain confirmation on being supported. I wouldn't think of boring you with the endless amounts of software that I use, cause I can figure that out on my own later. I just want to make sure that I can actually use the OS before I install it and possibly end up with time and cd's wasted. The only reason I say this is due to several other free versions of Linux based OS's. Once again, I really do appreciate the time you have to invest on reading this email, and greatly appreciate any support that you can give to me. And thank you for providing a truely free OS that doesn't appear to have background fee's that will come later.

Chris wrote: I would like to know if this OS platform supports your everday and ever so standard .EXE applications. Yes, FreeBSD will run standalone executable code in the various .exe and .dll formats, although people often use Wine or a similiar emulator if they want to have a more complete Windows environment available while using FreeBSD. Basically, I am wondering if FreeBSD is compatible to all of the endless softwares out there that require you to be using a certain version of Microsoft Windows? All of the software? No. Not that most Windows software is portable enough the run on all flavors of Windows itself: there's plenty of old 16-bit stuff which won't work on a modern Win32 platform (WinXP, 2003, etc), just as there is a huge amount of stuff written today which won't run on Windows 3.1. That being said, FreeBSD doesn't come with the Windows DLL's that many programs use. But they and other resources like TrueType fonts can be used if you migrate them, and if you check the ports collection you you find ways of using Flash and RealPlayer and video codec stuff like that if you really want to. Stability may suffer somewhat compared with purely native FreeBSD apps, but if people want to view websites in Flash (or be advertised to, more accurately), they can.

I'm planning to build a fairly large - somewhere from 1TB to 1.75TB in size - array behind a hardware RAID controller and put FreeBSD on it. But after being a good boy and Googling for information before laying out a couple grand, I discovered that FreeBSD might not have such great support for large filesystems. The last bit of useful information I found was from July 2004, so the situation might have changed since then and I figured I'd ask. What sort of problems can I expect to see? Aesthetic problems, like negative numbers in df, are not a worry. The vast majority of files will be 1GB or smaller, so that's not a concern either. But the guy who did those tests in July got no space left on device after using up only 800GB or so, and that obviously would be a problem. Naturally I can, and will, test this myself when I get the hardware, but I'm concerned that there may be creeping invisible problems which might result in frequent panics or loss of data - problems which might not become apparent until after I've reached the point where I no longer have enough room to play musical chairs with my data (which will be about 400GB in). Any information anyone has, even if it's just a pointer to who or where I should be asking instead, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No. Not that most Windows software is portable enough the run on all flavors of Windows itself: there's plenty of old 16-bit stuff which won't work on a modern Win32 platform (WinXP, 2003, etc), just as there is a huge amount of stuff written today which won't run on Windows 3.1. That being said, FreeBSD doesn't come with the Windows DLL's that many programs use. But they and other resources like TrueType fonts can be used if you migrate them, and if you check the ports collection you you find ways of using Flash and RealPlayer and video codec stuff like that if you really want to. Stability may suffer somewhat compared with purely native FreeBSD apps, but if people want to view websites in Flash (or be advertised to, more accurately), they can. See http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ I'm not a computer genius (though for some reason many label me as that) but I know my way around the Windows platform quite well. I am not an advanced programmer in any sort, but I do try and have several different types of programming software.

Basically, I am wondering if FreeBSD is compatible to all of the endless softwares out there that require you to be using a certain version of Microsoft Windows? FreeBSD does not have native support for windows software. You might try an emulator or something such as wine to run some programs that you run under Windows. Depending on what you are doing though, there are very few Windows programs you will need on FreeBSD. You will find that the free software world has filled most of the needs of the average user with free software that runs fine on unix type systems. What I am hoping to gain out of using FreeBSD is first and foremost, rid of Windows for good. I have used Window for quite so many years now and have seen it fall more and more as more and more new versions came out. I'm finally fed up with it. But I'm afraid of one thing... that I won't have the capabilities with a Linux based OS that I did with Windows. Unfortunately, Microsoft is pretty much a monopoly, we all know that, and they pride themselves on forcing others out of business, but once again, there's the compatibility issue that I'm worried about. Like I said above, just because the only software you see on the shelf in a store runs under windows, doesn't mean that's the only software out there that does what that software does. If you could assist me in any way to my question, I would greatly appreciate it and try FreeBSD out immediately. I sent an inquiry about another Linux based OS, and recieved a reply of we're going to be releasing a new version in the next few months, I'll hold on to this email and answer your questions upon release. I really hope I do not get this kind of response from you. I have read the background of the FreeBSD world, and greatly respect you, most of all for providing this for free instead of charging an arm and a leg for the OS per machine. That's pretty much all I use as far as hardware goes, and really the only things I wish to gain confirmation on being supported. I wouldn't think of boring you with the endless amounts of software that I use, cause I can figure that out on my own later. I just want to make sure that I can actually use the OS before I install it and possibly end up with time and cd's wasted. The only reason I say this is due to several other free versions of Linux based OS's. Be aware that FreeBSD is *not* a Linux based OS. This is a completely different bird. I think what you would find most helpful, is posting a list of software you use, or what functionality you need, and people will be happy to recommend programs that *will* run on FreeBSD that do what you need. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD is not a Linux based OS. I use FreeBSD as a desktop in an environment where virtually all of my colleagues and competitors use Windows. I do not use WINE or any Windows products as part of my normal working life. I use substitutes such as: OpenOffice: Word; Konqueror: IE; Kmail: Outlook express etc etc. I have had no issues whatsoever with incompatibility between my software suite and that of Windows and other users. The real joy of open OSES is that you find substitutes that frequently work better, faster, cleaner than Windows applications. To learn FreeBSD you will be starting again, in many ways, from scratch. So I tend to think that your approach which is to kick out the bad OS and keep the good applications will lead you into more of a frustrating experience. I read the compatibility section for hardware but really didn't see any of mine listed, so I'll list what I have and hopefully, if you have time, you can give me a yes or no.

One of the huge advantages of freeBSD is the ports system which has in excess of 12,000 programs which you can download and use. The ports will replace your Windows applications. It is worth finding out what people use as, say, media players. For example, if you wanted a media player on Windows most people will use one of the following: BSplayer; Mplayer; Mediaplayer Classic or possibly Windows Media Player.

I have Samba shares on there, and other things, and as far as I'm concerned it's better if the system doesn't know [or care] that the disk is being swapped out, does that make sense?

Notice the term standalone. The overwhelming majority of Windows .exe

which means that even Hello world compiled on Windows will not run directly
on FreeBSD. However, something as simple as:

0x0 foo: push %ebp

0x9 foo+9:ret

x86 assembly is x86 assembly, and this binary sequence if compiled on Windows
would still run under FreeBSD. In practice, people use Wine or developers go
to some trouble to integrate the Windows-based dependencies for native
software like Flash or video codecs to go, also consider the NDISulator
project which uses Windows-based wireless drivers under FreeBSD.

Re: D-Link NIC.

have to use Wine or Crossover Office.
Notice the term standalone. The overwhelming majority of Windows .exe
binaries use DLLs or make system calls which will not work under FreeBSD,
which means that even Hello world compiled on Windows will not run directly
on FreeBSD. However, something as simple as:
int foo()
{
return 1 + 2;
}
...gets turned into:
0x0 foo: push %ebp
0x1 foo+1:mov%esp,%ebp
0x3 foo+3:mov$0x3,%eax
0x8 foo+8:leave
0x9 foo+9:ret
0xa foo+10: mov%esi,%esi
...or 5589e5cb803009c389f6 in hex.
x86 assembly is x86 assembly, and this binary sequence if compiled on Windows
would still run under FreeBSD. In practice, people use Wine or developers go
to some trouble to integrate the Windows-based dependencies for native
software like Flash or video codecs to go, also consider the NDISulator
project which uses Windows-based wireless drivers under FreeBSD.
Thanks for the education! I am still amazed, and will try it for myself
when I have a few minutes.

Compiling XFE
Hello All, I admit, I am a lazy admin and like clicking with a mouse whilst talking on the phone, drinking tea and eating toast. I got used to XFE from using Linux and have enjoyed it in FreeBSD - until I installed it under 5.3 Now it core dumps for no reason whatsoever. At any time. My installation was package originally so I updated ports and compiled XFE - but no difference - it still bombs out. So I figure I would like to try compiling from the latest source from the XFE site on sourceforge. The forum explicitly says you need Fox 1.2 and wont work with anythig else (I had 1.4 so I de-installed and DL / made version 1.2 - which BTW comes with quite a useable and stable FM called PathFinder as well as a competent editor) So with my Fox 1.2 installation made installed I came to make XFE which now reports ; checking for fxfindfox in -lFOX-1.2 ... no ! configure error: libFOX not found I googled on this and found some stuff relating to the wrong version of the Fox libraries and also some people who have the same problem as me but the bottom drops off those threads with no answers :( Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

The last bit of useful information I found was from July 2004, so the situation might have changed since then and I figured I'd ask. What sort of problems can I expect to see? Aesthetic problems, like negative numbers in df, are not a worry. The vast majority of files will be 1GB or smaller, so that's not a concern either. But the guy who did those tests in July got no space left on device after using up only 800GB or so, and that obviously would be a problem. Naturally I can, and will, test this myself when I get the hardware, but I'm concerned that there may be creeping invisible problems which might result in frequent panics or loss of data - problems which might not become apparent until after I've reached the point where I no longer have enough room to play musical chairs with my data (which will be about 400GB in).

Change to different SCSI interface causes boot failure

I've searched the archives found a similar problem in which the solution was to use dump to create a backup do a fresh install of FreeBSD on the new system before restoring the backup. If I have to take this route I might as well upgrade to 5.3, but I understand this uses a different filesystem to 4.11, so would this give problems with a restore from a 4.11 dump?

All of these NICs are capable of 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds over CAT5 copper cable, except for the SysKonnect SK-9D41 which supports only 1000Mbps over multimode fiber. The BCM570x builds upon the technology of the Alteon Tigon II. It has two R4000 CPU cores and is PCI v2.2 and PCI- X v1.0 compliant. It supports IP, TCP and UDP checksum offload for both receive and transmit, multiple RX and TX DMA rings for QoS applications, rules-based receive filtering, and VLAN tag stripping/insertion as well as a 256-bit multicast hash filter.

Re: dma/sysctl
Definitely try a different IDE cable before anything else. Its cheap, and in my case, it solved the problem. If it doesn't, then at least you will have eliminated that as a possibility.

For now I am stuck booting into windows until I can figure this out. PLEASE HELP! Do you use a firewall (ipfw, etc) that is possibly misconfigured? Kris You were right the first time.

Hi, I searched the archive to no avail on my problem altough I'm sure it's quite simple. I have an aureal vortex 2 sound card which I would be quite happy to use, BUT, I'm having a hang up when installing the port 'sound/aureal-kmod'. I get the error message: === aureal-kmod-1.5_5 You need to extract kernel source tree before building this package. sounds woefully simple but I'm at a loss.
