Making a FreeBSD iso

Re: Making a FreeBSD iso
Yes, it seem to be easy if You download the whole CVS repo. In my case I don't want to do this since I only want to build a RELENG_5_4 system for productional use with optimized CFLAGS, and with some other customizing in make.conf. (e. g. I don't want to build named, I prefer installing it via ports collection, I don't want to build PPP-related stuffs since they are useless for me, etc.) If You read through the Makefile in /usr/src/release (/usr/src is the directory where the RELENG_5_4 source is located), You can find that there is an EXTSRC knob for this purpose, but unfortunately it didn't work, the make complained about the missing CVS repo. If somebody knows a solution for this trouble, please let me know. I'll provide the actual error message and the whole Makefile if neccessary.

5.4-RC2 freezing - ATA related?
This has been happening since 5.3-R, I've been tuning different parameters to no avail. I've taken the disks off of the onboard ICH5 controller and put them a promise TX4 S150 controller, but still the same thing happens. The system freezes, but isn't totally dead. It'll still respond to pings, the screensaver still functions, but it won't respond to a CAD at the console. But if I press 'Enter' at the console, it'll give me a 'login:' prompt, but after entering the username, it never comes back with the 'password:' prompt. After manually resetting the system it boots and says 'Automatic file system check failed; help!' and drops into single user mode. Running fsck manually corrects errors on all volumes. Then it'll boot from that point. This seems to be triggered by daily periodic as it happens at 3:02-3:03AM each time. But it doesn't happen *every* morning. I suspect a bug in FreeBSD because this mode of failure happens on 3 different machines, all configured similarly. ASUS P4P800 2G RAM (though the other affected systems only have 1G) 80G Seagate Barracuda SATA drives (one system now on Promise TX4 S150 controller, others on onboard ICH5) On my lightly loaded systems, it happens rarely. On my mailserver (fairly heavy disk load), it happens quite frequently. How can I troubleshoot this? dmesg follows: Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: Creating a mini install disk, for particular needs
Hi again, Just a quick note to thank you for your pointer. I have just installed PC-BSD onto an old box that was lying around the office. It was a good experience, thanks :) With just a few very small tweaks, I now have a PC-BSD device, integrated into our corporate LAN (via NIS), users home folders mapped over (via NFS) we finally have a mature capable alternative, to the flaky over-priced, hardware thin-clients, currently in use.

For example, I can ping -s 38 ip and it works fine. But if I try ping -s 39 ip (or any size larger than 38) it does not work. A 38 byte ping creates an 80 byte Ethernet packet. Random guesses: 1.

As soon as I set the time timezone, and password, everything else started working perfectly. I can't explain why it would have been in such a weird state -- only allowing small frames through.

Dear Bill and everyone, just a little comment: as far as I know there are two countries where the first name and the family name is used in different order, and these two countries are Japan and Hungary. I'm Hungarian thus my name often get people confused. Since I write from my private address, You can read in the From field my name in the Hungarian order: family name, first name, but I sign every mail in the English order.

Working Keyboard in 5.x
Hello, Does anyone know how to make a PS/2 keyboard work when plugged into a system booted without a keyboard on FreeBSD 5.x? It doesn't seem to work. For example in 4.x the default GENERIC kernel line is: device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1 If you leave that line alone, the ps/2 keyboard will not work if a system booted without one plugged in. But if you remove the flags 0x1 it will work fine. Does anyone know how to make the PS/2 work properly in 5.x? Thank you, Holt G. __ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

Re: Alright you primitive screwheads, LISTEN UP!!
cut John Who dealt with being called Farmer John by dweebs who used it _intending_ it to derogatory insult... cut Well with my last name it doesn't even matter in what country/language you are... However I must say (otherwise I would not write to the list anyway) that I can imagine that it gets frustrating when people are begging for your help but don't have the politeness to address you correctly. Post ponding it ten years, hell yes I would definitely at least express my frustration. Sure there are people having much bigger problem then that (I even knew people who didn't have a official name). But I seem to fail to see the logic that somebody else's big problem makes an total unrelated other persons problem less annoying, perspective is a nice thing but doesn't usually solve the root if the problem. Of course Bill expressed himself in his usual writing style which always make me (at least) smile, don't know though if that is intentional or that I have a freaking sense of humor (being born German I don't rule that out). However in defense I also must say that Paul is not a bad name, I even got it in my middle! Concluding, if Bill wants to be called Bill, what is the problem with that? He is not demanding that the next new discovered planet is named after him. His post has lighten up my day (middle in the night just before getting to bed you bastard!) and even got me to reply on someone saying he should take it more easy.

If I compile device asr into the kernel, I get a message about could not copy LDT, and a panic about pmap_enter: invalid page directory when the system moves from single to multi user. (single user is no problem?) If I do not compile the asr driver, and kldload asr instead, I get a panic from pmap_mapdev, instead. Any ideas?
