Kaffe won't work for me as it is missing a few feature s that I need (most notable swing support is not up to snuff yet). For now, then, unfortunately you'll have to follow the normal port-building instructions, which are lame to say the least. When Sun makes good on its promise to GPL the whole thing, it should become much easier. They already have: http://www.infoq.com/news/2006/11/open-source-java ./matt
Re: Lenovo notebooks
martin g writes: Hello all Has anyone got experience with Lenovo notebooks running OpenBSD. If you are so kind to share your experience. I recently got my hands on a Z61T which is pretty nice. The functionality that I require works, though it is lacking the power managament functions (this work is currently in progress if I understand correctly). One thing to note is that the disk driver works, which is not the case with NetBSD (at least, the last time I checked). I've put the dmesg.boot up here: http://bender.cl.msu.edu/~muk/nibbler-dmesg.boot The bge interface works great docked or undocked, and the wpi interface also works (make sure you read the man page), though I have had some performance degredation with it in some situations -- I rarely use the wireless for big sustained transfers or the like, so I have not made time to test it properly. I did note that booting GENERIC.MP really hurt my performance (I just gave it a whirl without understanding the implications on a dual-core machine). Regardless, I think it works pretty well. This is the first time I've had a ThinkPad, and it seems pretty nice so far. I've only booted OpenBSD and SUSE Linux on it to date, and both seem to do well (I'm sticking with OpenBSD). ./matt
Re: Sun X2100 on board RAID support?
stan writes: I've got a bunch of Sun 2100 machines. Nice machine that i plan on doing a number of things with. I'd prefer to use OpenBSD on them for firewalls, and other network related tasks. I've got 2 x 250G drives in these machines, and want to mirror them. Under FreeBSD the built in RAID controller (OK semi-software RAID) works, but apparently it does not under OpenBSD. Is this correct? or am I missing something? If it's not supported, are there plans to add support for it? BTW, It's the 3.9 64 bit install set I'm trying to install. If I turn off RAID in the firmware, everything works fine. If I enable it the disks are not detected at all. As an aside to this, I would like to know if there are plans to support the x4[12]00 SAS controller -- this does work in FreeBSD -current. ./matt

Using -current as of about a week after the last hack-a-thon, the x4?00 SAS worked. From a dmesg I posted on 6/6/06, here is the relevant part: | mpi0 at pci2 dev 3 function 0 Symbios Logic SAS1064 rev 0x02: apic 6 int | 0 (irq 11) | scsibus0 at mpi0: 63 targets | sd0 at scsibus0 targ 2 lun 0: LSILOGIC, Logical Volume, 3000 SCSI2 | 0/direct fixed | sd0: 69618MB, 69618 cyl, 16 head, 128 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 142577664 sec total It worked using both bsd and bsd.mp. But that was using the AMD64 port. As always, YMMV. Thanks a lot Nick. I guess the next logical question is into which stable release it will be available in. Thanks again! ./matt
