acd0 problem installing 5.0
Greetings I can't seem to install FreeBSD 5.0 Release on some old but functioning i386 hardware. The problem occurs just after creating the emergency holographic shell on vt4, and the error message says: Error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: Operation not supported by device (19). I've installed FreeBSD 4.6 on the same hardware without problem. I've mounted the 5.0 install CDRom from a 4.6 install on the same hardware (with mount /cdrom) without problem. I even tried using 'auto defaults for all' in the disklabel editor, in case /dist was a new requirement. The last messages on vt2 said: /mnt/etc/services 20 blocks DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file. (I don't have the option to boot from CDRom with this hardware.) Any ideas? TIA John. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I also downloaded and made an image disk for drvivers.flp just to download the drivers at the installation process. Sounds like you are trying to install the 5.0 version. I would advise anyone who is fairly new to FreeBSD to try 4.7 instead. You would need to obtain the 4.7 images for kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. There is no driver.flp for 4.7. snip I have 2 MB of my hard disk space devoted to FreeBSD. 2MB isn't enough! I presume you meant 2GB :) snip (all ok so far) Then in the next screen I get another window with a request message like Do you want to try DHCP configuration at the Interface ? Yes No . I selected No and proceeded to the next level of the installation process. In this next level, I get a big screen called the Network Configuration window to proceed with my ftp. I think or suspect this is where the problem is. This window has 7 fields which it requires me to enter. These 7 fields are host, domain, ipv4 gateway, name server, IPv4 address netmask :, extra option to ifconfig. I do not know any information regarding any of the fields. If I leave all of these fields empty, the installation program prompts me with an error message like must specify a host name of some sort ! Then I just entered a host name for the host, like foo.com and pressed enter to proceed all the way through the 7 fields to the OK button. You definitely need some more entries there. Choose something that you would not find on the net for domain. I use the rather boring my.domain and the hostname can be any word you like. You must insert a valid IP in the Name Server (DNS) field. If you usually use Microsoft Windows to connect to your ISP, you should be able to see the Name Server address by using winipcfg while connected. Or you may be able to find this from your ISP's www help pages, or contact their Tech. Support as a last resort. Without a Name Server the installation won't be able to convert a name like ftp.freebsd.org into a number (62.243.72.50). And therefore will not be able to connect. It would probably help to put an entry in the interface netmask field. 255.255.255.0 should be ok. more snippage It fails to download freebsd automatically from the freebsd ftp site like it should.

Sysinstall loads the 8139 driver from its base. The ATA drivers are in the base, as well (of course), so the question is: why does the bug in the 8139 driver manifest in a mishandling of the mounted file system? This leads me to believe that the bug isn't 8139-dependant, but, something rooted in the design of the interrupt code itself. Don i want to be.. as deep... as the ocean Too deep for me.

Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.
I'm currently dual booting FreeBSD-5.3 and Windows 2000 on a WD800BB 80GB IDE HD. It all seems to be working very well, but now I want to install 6.0 on the slice where 5.3 is. fdisk -s currently says: /dev/ad0: 155061 cyl 16 hd 63 sec Part Start Size Type Flags 1:635981220 0x0b 0x00 2: 5981283 13971447 0xa5 0x80 3: 19958400 136337040 0x0f 0x00 The problem is that the installer says that geometry of 155061/16/63 is incorrect and suggests using the BIOS geometry of 38309/16/255. I'm worried that if I change the geometry I may lose the existing Win2k slices (1 and 3 in the fdisk output). I'm not even convinced that what the BIOS says is correct, as I get the following from other sources: 16383/16/63 from the Western Digital web site. 10337/240/63 probed values from Scisoft Sandra. 10337/240/63 Ranish Partition Manager. If I make sure the installer uses the existing incorrect geometry, does that guarantee that the other slices will be unaffected? What future problems may that lead to? -- John. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.
Thanks Lila, your success encouraged me to try and you were quite right that your win partition is pretty safe with freebsd fdisk. Unfortunately the install failed saying: Write failure on transfer! (wrote 77187 bytes of 1425408 bytes) And loads of errors like the following were shown on the Alt F2 screen: /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error /stand/cpio: warning: skipped 723757 bytes of junk /stand/cpio: : No such file or directory /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error /stand/cpio: warning: skipped 4096 bytes of junk /stand/cpio: : No such file or directory [...] acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG HARDWARE ERROR asc=0x08 ascq=0x03 error=0 I tried leaving the partitions (within the ad0s2 slice) as they were first. Then I tried 'Auto defaults for all' and lastly some partition sizes of my own. I even tried installing 5.3 which only managed to write -1 bytes. Which is odd because it must have worked before. Presumably I would need to change the drive geometry in fdisk to the figures which the BIOS indicates. Any one know the implications of doing so for the non bsd slices?

Re: Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.
fbsd_user [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Write failure on transfer! (wrote 77187 bytes of 1425408 bytes) When I got this error message during install it mean the hard drive had a bad spot on it. This had nothing to do with the hd geometry used. Bet your hd is udma 33. Think this is a bug in fbsd since 4.11 where this problem did not occur. I think since 5.x the udma 33 ata driver does not handle the bad track pointer to the reassigned track. Or all the hd alt tracks have been used up all ready. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm fairly sure the hd is ok and it's udma66 at least. Actually I've had some success just now. There was that error message in the Alt F2 screen output saying: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG HARDWARE ERROR asc=0x08 ascq=0x03 error=0 I didn't think it was particularly important as the Alt F1 screen was saying write failure, but I decided to try an (minimal) FTP install and it actually completed with absolutely no write errors! It doesn't boot, probably due to a warning I ignored that it was using the existing /dev (as the partition existed). I'll try it again after tea and insist on a new set of partitions, which I believe will cure that problem. I'm so happy to be getting there! Many thanks to all for the help. What I did was to allocate an very small unused partition that included that area and then allocated the remainder of the hd to the slice I installed fbsd in. Hah! I've done that with a 40G laptop drive I was given, which had loads of bad sectors.

Re: Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.
Mr J. Happy Chappy here, just noting a few observations: Jerry McAllister's and Lila's suggestions were quite right that the installer's fdisk would not affect the other partitions on the HD if it's allowed to just do its thing. Its interpretation of the geometry was entirely useful. Reinstalling (via FTP) and changing the partitions in the disklabel editor prevented the warning about using existing /dev but didn't make the fresh install boot. Had to reconfigure the boot manager (Ranish Partition Manager's smallest configuration) simply by saving it. I moved its 'active' partition from the FreeBSD slice to the win2k one, but I don't think that was what did it. As I had only done a minimal install, I tried installing the man pages from the disk and DVD drive I had initially tried to install from, and saw loads of similar read/write errors. The drive works flawlessly under windows and the disk is 'known good' as I have used it previously on other hardware. In fact; I was able to install the man pages from the same disk in another drive on the same PC: acd0: DVDR PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108/1.14 at ata1-master UDMA66 acd1: CDRW LITE-ON LTR-24103S/XB03 at ata1-slave UDMA33 Those drives are connected to the motherboard with a standard 40 conductor cable, not a proper 80 conductor one. I'll replace that soon and follow up to this message if it prevents the r/w errors. I'm expecting that to be the most likely cause :) Lastly (sorry for the verbosity), after the first successful run of the newly installed 6.0 and the tweak of the boot manager, when I ran the win2k installation it brought up an explorer window showing the contents of the e: virtual drive (the last one on the first HD) and a message box exclaiming that windows had finished installing my new hardware and the system needed to be re-booted. I did so and all's well that ends well... Xorg, nVidia drivers and KDE next.

Re: FBSD 5.3 + Nvidia drivers

I must apply all the patchs like in 5.2.1, in 5.3 ?? No. If you use the port it even makes an entry in /boot/loader.conf for you. Change the 'Driver nv' line to 'Driver nvidia' and add 'Load glx' in the Modules section of xorg.conf. You may need to compile and install a custom kernel without 'device agp'. Although it seems to work for me with GENERIC. I didn't use GENERIC with anything more demanding than screen savers though (GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8).

Anything stronger than hw.ata.ata_dma=0?
I'm trying to get a Kingston 1GB 50x 'elite pro' Compact Flash working as ad1 initially, and then move it to ad0 to install FreeBSD-6.1 on it. The hardware is an Soekris net4801 and it's known that CF cards usually only work in PIO mode. A line in /boot/loader.conf saying: hw.ata.ata_dma=0 is usually enough, but not in this case. It seems, from the output of a verbose boot (see below), that the controller is successfully setting PIO4 mode, but then it sets UDMA33 again, eventually failing with: ad1: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out LBA=0 Using 'atacontrol mode ad1 PIO4' works and I can then fdisk, label and mount it without error. So what can I do that would be more effective than the hw.ata.ata_dma sysctl.

I remember there were some problems with trying to get FreeBSD to run VMWare previously? It's possible some early VMWare products (Like VMWare Workstation 3) work on FreeBSD 7, but a) you can't buy that products any more and b) you probably wouldn't want to use them even if you did. The only approximately useful option is Qemu, but it's slow and may not work on AMD64. There's a donation box on http://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/2007cb.html for developers to get VMWare Workstation working on FreeBSD but the status of the project is unknown. There's also some indication someone is working on VirtualBox but that's probably in very early stages (and besides that, VirtualBox doesn't work reliably). The status seems to be Status: CLAIMED by Orlando Bassotto - currently in progress. which looks good because he did a lot of work on porting VMware 3.x I think.

I get a couple of lines of text if I start it from an xterm, but they

is more: how can I discover which ports were upgraded most recently
I use a little shell script to find upgrade dates:
#!/bin/sh
cd /var/db/pkg
list=$(ls -trd */+COMMENT)
for item in ${list}; do
_date=`stat -f %Sm ${item}`
printf %-25s %s\n ${_date} `echo ${item} | sed 's/\/.*//'`
done
I can't help with the debug part though.
Very useful script that. Many thanks.
The only ports upgraded at the time were:
Nov 29 01:23:55 2007 samba-3.0.26a_2,1
Nov 29 01:27:05 2007 samba-libsmbclient-3.0.26a_2
Nov 29 01:36:03 2007 xorg-server-1.4_3,1
Nov 29 01:42:21 2007 wxgtk2-2.6.3_5
wxgtk isn't a dependency of amarok so that's ruled out.
With stdout stderr directed to a file I see lots of variations of:
amarok: [CollectionDB] [ERROR!] [virtual QStringList

Then just before X dies:

What's the point of the shell choice in single user mode?
I've just successfully done the world and kernel upgrade from 7 beta2 to beta3. I've always had a mergemaster phobia, but it didn't seem too bad this time. I thought I'd broken it after choosing /bin/tcsh as my shell in single user mode. It grumbled about termcap (I think) and then gave me a simple shell with a % prompt. fsck and mount were unknown commands and even though I could change directory to /usr or /home they were (apparently) empty! Scary! I now realise it was because they were not mounted of course.

On possible scenario is that /bin/sh has - somehow - been corrupted, deleted or otherwise made unusable. In that situation it is very nice to be able to choose some other shell so you can at least try to fix the problem. And some individuals even seem to prefer [t]csh over sh! I know, what's that all about? ;-P (runs to a safe distance to watch the fireworks...) John - you would have had the same experience had you selected sh - only the root file system is mounted if you come up into single user, which is why the installworld instructions tell you to mount all your other local file systems. As for fsck and mount being unknown, I suspect that's due to a very conservative initial PATH under tcsh, but as I don't use it, I don't know for sure. And the termcap grumble is because /etc/termcap is actually a symlink to /usr/share/misc/termcap, which on your system is evidently not on your / fs. Ah, that explains it. /usr is indeed elsewhere ad4s2f in fact. [t]csh always gets my vote.

The relevant part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section Monitor Identifier Dell Latitude D610 monitor VendorName SEC ModelName3450 # From Xorg.0.log DisplaySize 286 214 Option DPMS EndSection Hi Victor, Not sure if this will help, but there's some good information from a Linux Dell D610 user who seems to have a good xorg.conf which should be roughly the same for FreeBSD: http://www.kcore.org/?menumain=4menusub=2 He mentions a video BIOS patch called '915resolution'. There's a FreeBSD version at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/915resolution/pkg-descr More information on the hack here: http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/ -- HTH.

FreeBSD superkaramba
Are there any superkaramba themes designed for FreeBSD? I've tried a few, but they all seem to be designed for Linux (hda eth0 etc). Also, any pointers to where their configuration files are stored under the fbsd file hierarchy would be gratefully received. I've seen some under ~/.superkaramba, but they only seem to allow size and position settings. -- Thanks, John. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Either remark the umass line or unremark the scbus and da lines in the SCSI peripherals section.

mono-addins-0.3.1 port fails with Error 1
I'm trying to get the software for an open source software defined radio project, which is written in c#, working on FreeBSD. I've applied to join the BSD# mailing list, but have not received a response as yet. I need mono-develop (it's actually merged into the ports framework after using the mono-merge script), but it depends on mono-addins which fails to install with the output below. I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions.
