perl from with XF4 port

2002-12-17 Thread Long, Scott
I just did a fresh install of RC1+ onto my workstation machine and proceeded to build X. A previous package install had installed the perl package. Unfortunately, during the build of the X fonts, it stopped and said that /usr/X11R6/bin/mkhtmlindex could not be found. Sure enough the file was

RE: Can't install RC1 due to acpi crash

2002-12-10 Thread Long, Scott
I decided to re-install RC1 with some changes that might make getting core dumps easier. Now I get the acpi crash (previously reported) before I can get a good start on the install. Wouldn't it be a good idea to set up the ISOs to not use acpi so that acpi bugs don't block installation?

RE: console problem

This problem and the general 'console freeze' problem, and possibly even the 'floppy doesn't work anymore' problem should be fixed. The problem was with the ahc and ahd drivers corrupting the callout list used to trigger timeouts in the kernel. Scott -Original Message- From: Holm

It's not the fact that I have an extra, unused on-board video (checked). Also, when the video output stops, the console still works fine for input (keyboard never stops working normally). Also, I can successfully start X just fine. It's just the vty's output that is stopped (all

Hi, Yesterday I installed a jpsnap (FreeBSD christine.energyhq.tk 5.0-CURRENT-20021115-JPSNAP i386), and tried to setup a RAID0 config with two disks. raidctl -C goes fine, so does -I and -iv. Then fdisk'ed and disklabelled. But when I tried to newfs the newly created partition I

I have just discovered the hard way that the kthread.9 manual page is slightly out of date. Having never done man page work before, I've attached a diff of the proposed change and if someone could give this a once-over and fix and/or commit it, that'd rock. Thanks. =) Thanks. I knew

Hi, Are any plans to move to GCC 3.2 in current? Since it is just an ABI change it should work, without changing anything. It would give us a stable, multivendor ABI to work off of for the next line of 5.x releases. Just a thought. Jesse Gross Yes, moving to gcc32 is highly

2002-08-15 Thread Long, Scott
Yes, moving to gcc32 is highly desirable for -current, otherwise we will be stuck at gcc311 for the entire life of FreeBSD 5.x. The important question to ask is, who will do the dirty work? Moving to GCC 3.2 will do us no good. The lifetime of the 3.2 release will be pretty short
