ld not sucking in /usr/lib/crt1.o - or is it me?

2003-10-06 Thread Chris Knight
Howdy,

I installed 5.1 on my laptop, then synced up to -current as of
8 hours ago. I'm trying to build the 1.5 branch of Firebird
(the DBMS), but run into the following error:

ld  ../temp/static.gpre/gpre/cmd.o ../temp/static.gpre/gpre/cme.o

If I add /usr/lib/crt1.o to the file list it works OK.  Any reason
why ld isn't pulling this in automatically?  Feel free to correct

resolving this.  Thanks.

RE: current iso snapshots

2003-07-14 Thread Chris Knight
Howdy,

My Thinkpads (i1200, TP600) work OK, but you can't use ACPI on
them with the default DSDT.

Press Space at the boot loader countdown, then issue:

set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
boot

Your Thinkpad should then boot OK. AFAIK some newer functionality
may be lost without ACPI support.

If this works for you, then you want to add the following to
/boot/loader.conf:

hint.acpi.0.disabled=1

AFAICT getting ACPI working properly on a Thinkpad involves
learning AML to modify the default DSDT to work correctly with
acpica. I haven't got that far yet though.

stinkpad - haven't heard that before. Appropriate term when trying
to get 5.x running on them...

From memory, hibernation on the 600 doesn't have BIOS support.
It works under Win9x with an extra program, but doesn't work under

I'm happy to be corrected though. I have a DOS partition on my

 You'll need to use the 'ps2' utility to tell the system which

That's useful. I shall try this.
BTW, if you're not using CardBus cards, the OLDCARD functionality
works fine.
ie. comment out the cbb, cardbus and pccard devices in your kernel
config and add the card and pcic devices.

 From my dmesg:
 
 cbb0: TI1251 PCI-CardBus Bridge mem 0x50102000-0x50102fff 
   irq 9 at device 2.0 on pci0

Hmm, ps2 doesn't specifically show a cardbus device. It does
however have a PCIIRQ, which I set to 11,9,7,5 after disabling
the parallel port and the sound.
Same error crops up as mentioned above.
cbb only gets an irq on my TP600 when acpi is loaded, so I'm
going back to using OLDCARD.
Interestingly, loader ignores my hint.acpi.0.disable=1 and
acpi_load=NO settings in /boot/loader.conf and tries loading
it anyway - even when manually setting them. Renaming the acpi
module fixed it.
Running current as of 20 hours ago.

Comments on Release Building for -current

2002-07-31 Thread Chris Knight

Howdy,

As the snapshot manager at snapshots.jp.freebsd.org would be aware,
current's release building capability is woeful to say the least. A fair
bit of tidying up will need to be done for DP2.
I've managed to complete a successful release build of current with a
checkout of two days ago. For those interested, here's what I had to do:

the mfsroot floppy contents were too large
FIX: 
- edit /usr/src/release/i386/drivers.conf and move the following drivers
  from floppy 2 to floppy3: aue, cue, em, kue, sk, ti, wb, xe, and the
  SYSV stuff
- edit /usr/src/release/scripts/driver-copy2.awk to not error when it
  encounters the floppy 3 candidates

the kern floppy contents were too large
FIX:
- edit /usr/src/release/i386/dokern.sh and get sed to remove more
  drivers from MFSROOT. The drivers are: eisa, ahb, isp, ses

the fixit floppy contents were too large
FIX:
- edit /usr/src/release/i386/fixit_crunch.conf and remove the following
  programs: mount_msdosfs restore rrestore telnet

As you can see, all three 1.44MB floppies run out of space. With the
above changes, the build just scrapes by. I'd imagine that the changes
I made still wouldn't be enough for a release build to be successful
for PC98 or Alpha.
I'm happy to help resolve the release building issue if anybody is
interested.

 Oof.  It's like our binaries are suddenly very bloated.  Did this
 start very recently (like in the past few days?)  Perhaps
 -mcpu=pentiumpro bloats things and we should use NO_CPU_FLAGS when
 building crunches, etc.  We might also want to use -Os instead of
 -O when building the kernels and crunches as well.
 
I had been doing semi-regular builds (twice weekly) up until early
June. However, kernel stability then became an issue for me.
Looking at snapshots.jp.freebsd.org, releases stopped being built 
on June 21, with the exception of July 7 and 8.
I've been given some useful suggestions. I shall now go and do some
more builds, then summarise the size changes to the list. It will
take a while - my -current build box is a PII-300 laptop.

Release Building - failing at usr/share/doc/usd/13.viref

2002-05-29 Thread Chris Knight

Howdy,

I'm trying to build a FreeBSD-current snapshot release with a -current
install as of 28/05/02 1400 GMT and the CVS tree updated to the same date.
I've noticed that when -current is installed into the sandbox, groff isn't
installed, nor is it built prior to building the usr/share/doc/usd files.
The build then fails in usr/share/doc/usd/13.viref.
I'm assuming groff isn't built due to c++ issues with the newer gcc import.
Is this correct?

RE: Release Building - failing at usr/share/doc/usd/13.viref

2002-05-29 Thread Chris Knight

Howdy,

Disconnecting usr/share/doc/usd/13.viref and usr/share/doc/papers/sysperf
from the build process allowed me to build a -current snapshot.
I found the reference in the CVS logs (2002/05/15 09:29:45 PDT) that c++
isn't being built. This explains the lack of groff and tbl.
There must be some Makefile magic in bsd.doc.mk that allows all the other
usd and papers directories to continue, as specific targets are defined in
these two offenders. The sysperf target that fails is paper.tmp (not able to
find tbl) and the 13.viref target is index.so (unable to find groff).
Anyone know the ETA for c++ to be reconnected to the release build?

Current in Production

2002-04-10 Thread Chris Knight

Howdy,

I'd just like to thank the FreeBSD team for an outstanding job.
I've got a FreeBSD-current system in production running an Intranet that has
just exceeded one year's uptime. Admittedly, the snapshot I built was
30/10/2000, but it does go to show that current can indeed be used for
production systems. The system only ever had one reboot and that was when
the installation was migrated to a new box.
For those that are interested, the Intranet uses Apache, PHP, Firebird and
OpenLDAP for various Web-based management applications/tasks.
Again, thanks to everyone responsible for providing a reliable and
dependable distribution, even when it's considered unstable and for
development purposes only.

2002-04-10 Thread Chris Knight

Howdy,

I would have lucked out if it wasn't reliable :-)
If you do all the right things, such as follow the commit logs and test,
test, test, you can get a snapshot of current that will prove reliable for a
certain number of tasks. It had three months of testing before going into
production, so I didn't get any rude shocks, nor was I risking my job.
Everyone was aware of the potential for instability and the fallback was to
run the apps on a 4.x release or stable. I needed proof by example that
FreeBSD development code was just as capable - if not more - as commercial
OS releases. I have that well and truly now :-)
I liked riding the edge of insanity years ago. I've fallen over the edge

 You need to rebuild fsck and install it and fsck your

 the dirpref changes that warn people to build and install a
 new fsck before

 Woah, what's the problem?  This sounds like something that should be
 fixed, not covered up with an MFC.

When -current's release scripts were cut over to use mdconfig due to PHK's
death warrant notice of vn, vnconfig and MFS, release builds stopped working
on -stable due to -stable's md driver not having a handler for /dev/mdctl.
As vn + friends are disappearing, it makes sense for md to be MFCed, thus

sysinstall move and make release on FreeBSD-stable

2001-01-18 Thread Chris Knight

Howdy,

Since the sysinstall move, make release on FreeBSD-stable (as of 3 hrs ago)
breaks when building sysinstall. The output is:

=== usr.sbin/sysinstall
cc -o rtermcap /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/rtermcap.c -ltermcap
rm -f makedevs.tmp
echo '#include sys/types.h'  makedevs.tmp
./rtermcap ansi |  file2c 'const char termcap_ansi[] = {' ',0};'  
makedevs.tmp
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.5" not found
./rtermcap cons25w |  file2c 'const char termcap_cons25w[] = {' ',0};'

./rtermcap cons25-m |  file2c 'const char termcap_cons25_m[] = {' ',0};'  
makedevs.tmp

./rtermcap cons25l1 |  file2c 'const char termcap_cons25l1[] = {' ',0};'

./rtermcap cons25l1-m |  file2c 'const char termcap_cons25l1_m[] = {' ',0};'
 makedevs.tmp

./rtermcap xterm |  file2c 'const char termcap_xterm[] = {' ',0};'  
makedevs.tmp
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.5" not found

then:

cc -O -pipe -Wall -I/usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/../../gnu/lib/libdialog -I.
   -I/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/include -c makedevs.c
makedevs.c:4: syntax error before `,'

makedevs.c:22: syntax error before `,'
makedevs.c:25: syntax error before `,'
makedevs.c:28: syntax error before `,'
makedevs.c:31: syntax error before `,'

I did a local hack to copy libc.so.5 into ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/lib before the
chroot command, but this doesn't solve the problem properly. At the moment,
it seems that current snapshots can only be built with current, and I'm not
sure of the correct way to fix this for stable. I'm thinking the best way is
to change the linking command for rtermcap in
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/Makefile relative to one of the environment
variables set for the make release process. Not foolproof, but better than
my hack :-)
Also, the following commands added to ${CHROOTDIR}/mk are now dependent on
where sysinstall in the release you're trying to build lives.

cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall
make obj

They've been removed from /usr/src/release/Makefile v1.589, but aren't they
still required if you're trying to build a 4.x release? Or am I missing the
point?

RE: modified ich sound driver for current?

2001-01-16 Thread Chris Knight

Howdy,

I modified the mentioned driver when newpcm got kobjified and submitted the
patches back to the author. I didn't get a reply. I haven't synced up my
laptop to current since about the new year, so I don't know if it works with
any changes made. Rather than send the patch to the list, I'll e-mail it to
anyone that asks.

 Well, that's a fix, just not the right one. :)  There should be no
 "dangling references" to soft updates if SOFTUPDATES is not defined.

I realise that. I always use soft updates, so it wasn't a problem for me. It
took less time to add it into the boot floppies than work out what a
non-softupdates softdep_slowdown should return.

 But it does only solve the problem for `make release'.  Please upgrade
 so that you have sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep_stub.c 1.15 which should
 solve the problem in a more general way.

FFS Snapshot issues

2000-11-28 Thread Chris Knight

Howdy,

Get the attached panic repeatedly when doing an rm -rf /usr/ports and trying
to create a snapshot of the root partition. Sometimes I get the panic when
there's no apparent disk activity and trying to create a snapshot on 2GB
filesystems. I've included gdb output, dmesg and my kernel config.
Hopefully, some-one can make more sense of it in a shorter timeframe than
me. If any further information is required, please let me know and I'll try
my best to get it to you.
BTW, is there any reason I had to enter panic twice in ddb to get the sucker
to dump core?

According to http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1.htm,
ntp.syd.dms.csiro.au no longer offers ntp services.
ntp.tip.csiro.au or ntp.ml.csiro.au should be used instead. These are
listed at the above-mentioned location as open access servers.
Here's a diff for sysinstall. Could some-one please commit it. Thanks.

Why doesn't Vinum start automatically?

There have been changes to rc and rc.conf lately to autostart Vinum.  But
on my system it does not auto load at start and I wind up manually loading
the module, reading the config and mounting the volume.  Any help if
figuring out why this is not working would be appreciated.

rc.conf now sets a variable with the drives from to read the config:

vinum_slices=/dev/da1 /dev/da2 /dev/da3 /dev/da4

and rc checks for this variable and loads vinum if it is set:

if [ -n $vinum_slices ]; then
if [ -r /modules/vinum.ko ]; then   # jkh paranoia
kldload vinum
vinum read $vinum_slices
else
echo Can't find /modules/vinum.ko

After the the message Waiting 15 seconds fopr SCSI devices to settle, and
before the listing of my SCSI devices is this ominous message:

ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvperror 6: panic: cannot mount root (2)

At the end of the SCSI device listing, the system starts a reboot.

Any help in either understanding what happened or getting the box back
online appreciated!

Also, if someone could tell me where I could obtain a copy of the boot.flp
and fixit.flp for a recent elf build of -current I would really appreciate it.

Can't mount root. Really need help...

1999-01-24 Thread Chris Knight
Greetings,

  I have learned a very valuable lesson.  No matter how many time I have
made world, I shouldn't do it while I'm tired.  Last night I synced my tree
and made world.  I rebooted, and was going to remake my kernel after the
boot.  That became an impossibility.

After the the message Waiting 15 seconds fopr SCSI devices to settle, and
before the listing of my SCSI devices is this ominous message:

ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvperror 6: panic: cannot mount root (2)

At the end of the SCSI device listing, the system starts a reboot.

Any help in either understanding what happened or getting the box back
online appreciated!

Re: HEADS UP: New version of Vinum

I've just committed a new version of Vinum with a large number of
changes.  It works fine here, much better than the old version, but
there's just a possibility that things may go wrong.  If you have
trouble, please let me know immediately.

Greg,

  Was this just committed to -current, or is this also in -stable (now that
it exists)?

  I'd like to move to -stable, but if the latest Vinum mods are going to
take a while to move to  -current I'll be staying here for the duration.  :)
