Help on kernel debugger
I need to use a kernel debugger on FreeBSD 4.8 to check if my messages to the kernel have all the info required and if Is being processed. DDB is the debugger mentioned in the handbook. Will DDB help Me debug the kernel on the target itself? All that I have read abt DDB is debugging from a remote box over a serial line. I have rebuilt my kernel with the options # Kernel debugger support options DDB options DDB_UNATTENDED -sundeep Confidentiality Notice The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.

Sharing Swap space
Hi, I have a question to satisfy my curiosity. I am not sure if I can try this any time now, but was wondering if I was possible. Objective : Dual boot system (Linux and FreeBSD) sharing swap space. Since both the OSs' need swap space, would I be able to create just a single swap space and share it depending on the OS currently in use ? If this is possible, what configuration do I need to keep in mind? rgds, sundeep Confidentiality Notice The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.

While choosing the installation Media I get the message No CD/DVD devices found while searching on the web I found one mail which mentioned problems with FreeBSD and ATA, ATAPI. The workaround provided was where in has to set hw.ata.ata_dma=1 set hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 but still I could not choose the CD as the installation media?

RE: Compiling the kernel
I'm a newbie. I built the kernel the first time yesterday There is a new way to build the kernel documented here http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-b uilding.html It worked for me. I do not really sure what the difference is.

Lang Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 7:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Dual-boot does not work with GRUB I've been trying to setup a dual boot Linux/FreeBSD system so I can tryout freebsd and compare it to linux, my current main os. I had the freebsd easyboot bootloader installed, but I couldn't get it to boot linux so I reinstalled GRUB as lilo doesn't even load properly on my system. I can now boot into linux and use the freebsd install disk to boot into freebsd. I've tried to get grub to boot freebsd directly, but it's not working. I've had it chainloader the first sector of the slice with freebsd on it and chainload /boot/boot1 directly, both just print a - in the upper left corner and stop, like it loaded boot1 successfully but boot1 couldn't find boot2. Chainloading /boot/boot0 does a similar result, with that boot loader. Using grub to try and load /boot/loader and /kernel with the kernel command doesn't do much either. Any suggestions. Also, in my short experience with freebsd, it seems relatively fast, but when there is massive i/o in the background, like untarring a massive tarball, the system becomes rather unresponsive with certain things, is something misconfigured on my system? Harddrive dma is turned on according to sysctl. On linux there is also an option to unmask irqs while handling a disk interrupt, is there a similar option in freebsd and will it help? -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen.

RE: free bsd !!!
If u want to access FreeBSD from one of the ftp mirror sites Ftp is the best and the fastest. However u could still do it With http. The url needs to be modified ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:@ftp.freebsd.org However the downloads tend to break as the files are huge. Maybe u would have a better luck than me. Note : in the email id do not forget to escape the '@' with the backslash Note : Traversing thru symbolic links would fail.

Newbie NFS problem
Hi, I am currently using FreeBSD 4.8 and I have a problem with NFS. FBSD-A-FBSD-G On the box FBSD-A I have set up a cvs repository I want to have box FBSD-G as the working server. I have mounted the cvs repository on FBSD-G with NFS. Problem : I checkout the repository at FBSD-G. After a couple of files are checked out the whole session hangs. It has something to do with NFS as I am not able to umount the NFS. I get the message device busy. I am not sure what logs to look at. Dmesg does not have any info. Prior to the cvs checkout, the files were accessible on the mounted fs. Any help is appreciated.
