ICH4 gaps in sound.
I have a pcm0: port 0xbc40-0xbc7f,0xb800-0xb8ff mem 0xf4fff400-0xf4fff4ff,0xf4fff800-0xf4fff9ff irq 11 at device 31.5 on pci0 pcm0: in my laptop. During sound playback I hear small gaps in the sound output. My sense is that they occur every second or so ... about the size of the application buffers that are sent to the sound device. I'm using xmms for playback. The gaps are a pop or click in the sound and don't seem to represent any change in the timing of the sound.

Another ATAng failure.
I have tried several times in recent days to burn DVDs with burncd, growisofs and cdrecord ... all of which worked before atang. Growisofs complains that it can't flush it's buffers. Burncd doesn't complain ... but the resulting disk is not mountable. I thought at one point that some DVD images were writable. I havn't cvsup'd several times since them. No images appear writable now ... so the problem appears to have gotten worse. Burning CDR and CDRW appears to work fine, however.

DVD+R burning flakey after ATAng.
First of all, as someone noted with disk-at-once, DVD+R (which is always disk-at-once) doesn't entirely burn properly. I havn't been able to nail it down, but certain ISO images work and certain ones don't. This all started screwing up with ATAng. At first, ATAng didn't support atapicam, but that was rectified. Now the dvd+rw port (growisofs) doesn't work at all ... it finishes with an error that I'm loathe to coaster another (expensive) DVD to find out. burncd will successfully burn some images and not others. I havn't found the pattern yet. Has anyone with knowledge in these areas looked at DVD burning?

Screen blanking on suspend?

However, the screen does not turn off on suspend (in other messages to this list I wrestle with the lack of S3 suspend, but not here). It would be "good" if I could figure out how to run 'xset dpms force off' on suspend, but this laptop is acpi-only. rc.suspend doesn't run. Should this be a devd thing?

Consider the average laptop: one or more permanent interfaces and one or more transient interfaces. Currently, if bge0 (my permanent interface) has link at boot, it gets dhclient. Similarly to the origional poster, if wi0 is inserted at boot, it gets dhclient. devd doesn't seem to do much else. There is a caveat, of course. You can't run multiple copies of dhclient (say one for each interface). This is broken. You must, in fact, run one copy of dhclient listing all the interfaces to configure. This is contrary (say) to moused ... which works well with multiple mice. Ideally, you would start dhclient on an interface when it had link and stop it when it lost link. You might want to put a 10 or 15 second timeout on that (as it could be annoying with a flakey controller), but this makes sense. In this case, devd would not only have to watch changes to the device tree, but device state transitions. Less ideally, dhclient should run on all capable interfaces whenever they're present. In the current scheme, this requires some external smarts as you must kill off the current dhclient and restart it with a new list of interfaces.

No mouse on Dell Inspirion 1100?

bcm driver, no collisions.
I have the new bcm drive installed on an inspirion 1100 laptop that's plugged into a 100M hub. The driver correctly sets half-duplex, but the collisions never increase dispite heavy nfs traffic and dispite the collision light (and other hosts on the hub) registering many collisions. I don't have any evidence that the interface is misbehaving. In fact, the performance seems good.

You'd have a hard time getting an ethernet card in there. Having just had a look at the patch, it's a little large to be typing in by hand. Here's the options I see for you: 1) the D800 has a serial port (rare on today's laptops). Hook up a modem or a null serial cable and network thusly to cvsup. 2) the D800 has a pccard slot. Find someone with a wireless or ethernet card. 3) the D800 has usb2 and firewire... both of which can have ethernet 4) if you remove your hard drive, you can cheaply get a dodad that will convert the mini ide connector to a regular one. 5) burn a CD or a DVD on another machine with the new src tree.

wi0 still not being a good hostap.
Well... I was wrong. Interrups under 5.1-CURRENT still cause the wi0 running in hostap mode to shed it's clients. I'm not familiar with what 802.11b does to authenticate et. al., so I'm posting this ifconfig debug output from both the server and the client in hopes someone else knows what's happening. This particular system has two clients. It's worth noting that when I had a normal access point, I had no problems. This appears to be a problem with the wi0 in hostap mode. The server says: wi0: sending assoc_resp to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station newly 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf associated wi0: received disassoc from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 42 wi0: station 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf disassociated by peer (reason 8) wi0: received auth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 41 wi0: sending auth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf authenticated wi0: received assoc_req from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 39 wi0: received auth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 42 wi0: sending auth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf authenticated wi0: received assoc_req from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 42 wi0: sending assoc_resp to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station newly 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf associated wi0: station 05:ae:05:ae:b1:bf deauthenticate (reason 6) wi0: sending deauth to 05:ae:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: received auth from 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 rssi 35 wi0: sending auth to 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 authenticated wi0: received assoc_req from 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 rssi 33 wi0: sending assoc_resp to 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:04:e2:1e:11:d7 associated wi0: received auth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 40 wi0: sending auth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station already 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf authenticated wi0: received deauth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 40 wi0: station 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf deauthenticated by peer (reason 3) wi0: received assoc_req from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 38 wi0: station 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf deauthenticate (reason 9) wi0: sending deauth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: received auth from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 37 wi0: sending auth to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station newly 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf authenticated wi0: received assoc_req from 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf rssi 40 wi0: sending assoc_resp to 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf on channel 11 wi0: station newly 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf associated wi0: station 00:40:05:ae:00:05 deauthenticate (reason 6) wi0: sending deauth to 00:40:05:ae:00:05 on channel 11 wi0: receive packet with wrong version: d5 wi0: receive packet with wrong version: d5 The client says (not nearly so long a sample): wi0: at port 0x100-0x13f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:40:05:ae:b1:bf wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3873 wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.0.7), Station (1.3.5) wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 disassociate (reason 8) wi0: sending disassoc to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 wi0: station 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 deauthenticate (reason 3) wi0: sending deauth to 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 on channel 11 Dave. -- ======== |David Gilbert, Independent Contractor. | Two things can only be | |Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| equal if and only if they | |http://daveg.ca | are precisely opposite. | =GLO ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Upgrade to 5.1 fixes wi0 accesspoint mode fubar.
For various reasons, I upgraded my firewall from 4.8-STABLE to 5.1-CURRENT. Recently, I complained that the wireless clients of the wi0 PCI card running in hostap mode would loose sync. It was repeatable that they clients would loose sync when the server was serving more interrupts. One of the most obvious expamples was playing xmms on the server would cause disassociations of the clients. Upgrading the server to 5.1-CURRENT seems to have fixed the problem. Just a report. 4.8-STABLE is still broken... but it's less convenient for me to attempt any tests now.

Where is P_THREADED?
For a couple of days now, I've been trying to advance from 5.1-RELEASE
to -CURRENT. I havn't been able to compile the kernel, however, as
even 'make buildkernel' (after having done a 'make buildworld') fails
looking for a P_THREADED symbol in kern_synch.c.
Since it's not very likely that I can do without _that_ file in the
kernel, I waited a few days and tried the whole thing again with a new
cvsup. Still no go. So I tried 'make include' ... still no go. So I
tried:
[4:10:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src> find . -type f | xargs grep P_THREADED
./sys/kern/kern_synch.c:if (p->p_flag & P_THREADED || p->p_numthreads > 1) {
./sys/kern/kern_synch.c:if (td->td_proc->p_flag & P_THREADED)
... so if P_THREADED doesn't exist in the /usr/src tree, where would I
be finding it?
Dave.

I'm trying to 'make buildworld' then 'make buildkernel' from 5.1-RELEASE against today's current. I'm getting a missing P_THREADED symbol in kern_synch.c in the make buildkernel step.

Booting vinum.

ACPI suspending.
I have a Dell D800 laptop (as I've mentioned a few times here) and I've gone so far as to upgrade the BIOS to A03 and fetch new ACPI DSDT code from the linux site. Before fetching the code, most ACPI functions were broken ... including the amount of battery remaining. After updating, most functions are fixed ... the battery interface is picking up the batteries and the expected runtime and the 'S1' suspend appears to be working correctly. The 'S1' suspend is where the processor clock is halted. I assume that other things turn off ... but the laptop still generates enough heat to need it's fan ... especially if I try to put it in my laptop bag. What I'd like to know is how much work (and possibly pointers to where I'd look) to fix the S3 level suspension. S3 is suppsoed to only leave RAM power on ... which makes it sound an awful lot like the APM suspend I was used to on my last laptop. Is this a matter of fixing some more of the DSDT ... or is there some grovelling in the FreeBSD code that's appropriate? Is someone already working on this?

EHCI USB on _top_ of UHCI?
I'm running 5.1-RELEASE and have USB2.0 ports in my Dell D800 laptop. I also have a USB2.0 drive encloseure with a 120G drive in it... so I'm very motivated to get this to work :). To start, I posted briefly about this before... and some people suggested that this may have a bad interaction with ACPI. I have ruled that out ... disabling ACPI or fixing ACPI (by obtaining fixed ACPI code) doesn't change the EHCI behaviour. So ... some datapoints. USB 1.1 (UHCI) works. If EHCI isn't in the kernel all manner of USB devices work. I have tested the drive, an external DVD enclosure and a mouse. This is good. However, if EHCI is in the kernel, attaching the drive gives the following messages: Jun 13 22:15:46 canoe kernel: usb3: unrecoverable error, controller halted Jun 13 22:15:46 canoe kernel: usb3: blocking intrs 0x10 Jun 13 22:16:05 canoe kernel: uhub3: device problem, disabling port 3 Jun 13 22:16:48 canoe kernel: usb3: port reset timeout Jun 13 22:16:48 canoe kernel: uhub3: port 1 reset failed ... and then usb doesn't work thereafter.

Need acpi-event-d?
First, I must say that it's cool that ACPI code can be examined and rewritten. In my laptop's case, this was key to make things fairly happy. Anyways, after a resume, it would appear I need to kill and restart moused. Under 4.x, apmd was used for this purpose ... but this new laptop doesn't support apm at all. /dev/apm seemed to be emulated by acpi for the benifit of battery monitors, but apmd won't run. Is there a facility to run things on resume, or is this reset something better done inside the kernel?

Simply impossible to format disk under current.
I ran into an interesting problem last night ... that was very frustrating. I was recycling SCSI drives from some NetBSD machines (that were client boxes) to add to a RAID server running FreeBSD-5.0-RELEASE. It's simply impossible to format NetBSD drives under current. Let me expand on that. /dev/da2 exists, but you can't say 'fdisk -I da2' ... fdisk says that /dev/da2 doesn't exist. /dev/da2 (and /dev/da2c) isn't writable, so I can't blank the first few sectors. I even tried this in single user mode. The problem appears to be that the FreeBSD-5.0 system sees the NetBSD label ... so things like da2s1 don't exist. da2a, da2b, da2c and da2g do. These are the NetBSD partitions. Writing to them is verboten. I was hoping that da2c would allow me to blank the boot sector, but it doesn't allow me to write. ... under FreeBSD-5.0, fdisk won't write to the disk and disklabel won't change the NetBSD label, either. I had to boot with my FreeBSD-4.7 recovery CD ... which would fdisk and disklabel the disk (note that fdisking wasn't enough ... FreeBSD still accepted the NetBSD label over the fdisk data) just fine. ... although I then ran into the issue that disklabel -e had /mnt2/stand/vi hardcoded into it ... which is wrong.

Preferred Gigabit interfaces for -CURRENT
We're about to make the switch from 100M interfaces to GigE interfaces for our transit routers ... which are FreeBSD-5.0 based SMP (Athlon) boxes. Our current favorite card is the intel i82559-based fxp cards. They handle the load best on our testing of 100M cards. Remember that our load is large and small packets and that hardware checksums are not a win (although hardware vlans are). So... I need to know what GigE chipsets I should test. I recently tested Intel GigE cards ... with dismal results... less than half the packets-per-second on the (otherwise) same hardware. Small packets (as in DOS attacks) are a real concern here. I believe that someone here recomended Tigon III based cards ... but I was recently looking through 5.0-RELEASE's hardware notes and couldn't find any mention of Tigon III. A hint on where to buy the cards may be helpful _and_ I'd like to know if the choice might be different for -STABLE (as some of our routers run -STABLE).

State of apm, etc?
Under 4.3, apm works ... after a fashion on my Fujitsu lifebook. Suspend and resume work and the battery status is available. I also find that the non-cardbus pccards work, after a fashion. There are interactions, though. One particularly gnawing one is that pccards cease to work after a resume. This is regardless of their state beforehand. I can, for instance, boot the computer, suspend, resume and then insert a pccard... and it will not work. Its as if the interrupts are not connected. I recently upgraded the laptop to current using an extra disk I had laying around. This was somewhat of an adventure, but I have nothing particularly to complain about ... since the hint of using make -k a few times gets me there eventually. We all understand that this is not supposed to be clean. However, there is a significant degradation in the performance of pccards. Like before, pccards don't work after a suspend. They get recognised and added post-resume, but traffic doesn't appear to flow. This is true both for my ethernet (3com 3cxfe57) and my compact flash (San disk). The sound card also doesn't seem to work after a resume ... which is similar to 4.3. This is all after enabling apm in /boot/kernel.hints Unlike before, ejecting the 3com card locks up the system reliably. Inserting the 3com card can lock up the system, but sometimes reinserting it will unwedge things. I'm willing to track this down, but don't know where to start on apm issues. Is one of you significantly versed on apm to give me some starting points?

I'm jumping into the middle of an argument that I havn't been reading, but I've had the very same argument with a number of people. It's fairly predictable. For foreign or not-so-foreign packages and software, I've seen /usr/local, /local, /usr/contrib, /opt and /usr/pkg. One site that I worked at was even pedantic that /usr/contrib was for externally generated software and /usr/local was for software written and/or maintained locally. I've also worked in environments where different directory structures implied the level that the IS guys intended to support the software. Arguing about any of that in an OSS project is silly. However, I believe that /usr/ports should install all it's software in one place and that place _shouldn't_ be /usr/local. Reasoning: - having it install in /usr/X11R6 and /usr/local is confusing. Having random software put itself in either /usr/X11R6 or /usr/local is more confusing. Having ports even migrate from /usr/local to /usr/X11R6 is even more confusing. - having all ports under one tree allows you to share a tree of ports without sharing a tree of /usr. - would allow package management (eventually) to say that every file under /blah is accounted for by the package database. - (and the reason it shouldn't be /usr/local) ... many packages on the net install in /usr/local by default ... so I can see the lazyness in just accepting that. However, /usr/local is a useful place for an administrator to put things that are not part of the ports collection that he has hand compiled onto the machine. In many cases an inordinate amount of work would be required to change a piece of software that was only to be installed on one machine. It also forces all ports to be PREFIX enabled ... which is useful. Now... I think it would be useful to have arguments about more complex package software that allowed /usr/pkg/foo to hold all of foo and linking /usr/pkg/bin/foo to /usr/pkg/foo/bin/foo ... 'n stuff like that. Complete separation and versioning are desireable things. I suppose if everything was dead accurate (which it's not) you could account for every file in the namespace ... which would be way-cool ... but separating packages might be more sensible. ... but /usr/pkg supplanting /usr/local is one of the things that I like about NetBSD.

I see cases were I'm surfing for 20-30 minutes and I will hit this 10 to 30 second (longer, becase the swap at home is slower) gap in netscape response.

Worst case swapping.
I'm running a 700Mhz K7 with 256M of RAM as my workstation. I have two fast SCSI drives with a Gig of swap between them. The system shouldn't normally be a bottleneck as a workstation. I find, however, that there seem to be some bad worst-case senerios popping up rather often. Netscape is a good (common) example, but other memory stresses will show if the system is busy, too. What I'm talking about is a situation where some portion of the application will be swapped out and then when the application becomes active again, the swap will grind heavily reading and writing for 10-20 seconds (pushing 5M/s out and 5M/s in). Now the application in question (Netscape) usually runs around 50 to 75 megs, so that swapping activity is effectively swapping an amount of memory equavalent to the whole application out and then in again. My fear that this is a worst case scenario comes from this fact: that some other part of the application now-just-recently-active-again is being swapped out to bring in a part that was already swapped out. Now, you could argue that this case is hard to avoid, but I find this happening during periods of constant browsing ... such that only a small amount of the application could have been out. I'm positive that its not a case of the working set being larger than physical memory; it's one of choice of page to swap. Has anyone done any thinking about this behaviour? It occurs with varying degree to many applications.

(thoughts on) the mktemp() patch.
Maybe the soltion is to think out of the box. Maybe temporary filestore should be a more official OS service. Race conditions would be far less common if the OS itself was managing the namespace. You might even expand the capability somewhat. Provide process local, uid local and global namespaces. You'd even gain the ability to specify the limits on temporary filestore.

Also... I have noticed that several modules don't want to compile in
the kernel without -O, including kern_synch.c (undefined reference to
__cursig) and atomic.c (inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm').

MegaRAID jiggles clock?
I'm wondering if the AMI MegaRAID controller/driver might be the reason that I'm getting a large number of clock resets from ntpd. About every half hour, ntpd seems to feel the need to reset the clock on the server by about 1/3 of a second. The server has a moderate NFS load (going out through 12 dc interfaces) and an AMI MegaRAID 1400 controller with 8 disks in a RAID-5 config. I have other servers with 12 dc ports, and havn't seen any particularly bad time performance from them, which is why I'm suspicious of the megaraid. This machine is also using a motherboard common to many of our other machines. None of our other servers (we have a "ring" of 5 time servers to which all our internal hosts connect) or clients appear to have any issues. I have considered setting the option on ntpd to only adjust time by adjusting the frequency ... to see if this is just a bogon clock chip or somesuch. ideas?

cd drivers and the 21143.
I'm having some troubles with the dc driver and the 21143's. I have 12 ports in a machine (3x 4 port cards). Before I had more than 8 of them connected, I never had any problems. Now... I find that if I unplug a cable and then reconnect it, that the driver will not properly recognise the traffic on the interface. It doesn't sound like the problem that if_dc.c version 1.4 was addressing --- I can see traffic with tcpdump. If I reboot the machine, the interfaces come up fine.

Twice the clock, half the fun.
I've been running FreeBSD (under FreeBSD) on VMWare lately to try to test some kernel modules I'm writing. However, the clock seems to run at nearly twice normal time. Ntpdate will set the clock back tot he right value, but ntpd doesn't appear to be able to reign in the runaway clock.

(kgdb) p newfdp->fd_ofiles
$1 = (struct file **) 0xc23f2000
(kgdb) p fpp
$2 = (struct file **) 0x0
Now... the only operation on fpp is fpp++. It should take a _long_
time for fpp to get around to 0 and you'd thing that *fpp would be
zero long before that (or cause a page fault at some other
non-existant location).
So... the similarity here is that deep in the kernel, we have a
automatic (possibly register) local variable that's getting zero'd.
I have half-a-dozen crash dumps of this nature. For me, it always
happens in fdcopy(). This may be due to the fact that the machine is
running a large apache config --- so fork() is something it's doing
often.

Well... ruby refuses to build with IPv6 if it's not enabled and mtr
dies with a "cannot open socket".
In escence, both ports (and possibly others) don't work in 4.0 without
INET6 in your kernel.

New kernel, old boot... problems.
In preparation for upgrading my laptop, I made it a 4.0-CURRENT kernel (cvsup'd Saturday morning) and tried to boot.

Some current kernel wizdom.
I'm looking at producing a netgraph node that is going to be potentially very hard on kernel memory. The node may have to manage as many as 10K netgraph hook connections (each one requires a small amount of memory) and access to the hooks requires that they be in a table (not a linked list). This means that I'm forced to make either a rather large static allocation or making reallocations as required. I'd like to poll the collected wizdom of various strategies. In this case, the actual usage is hard to predetermine and can range from small (a few entries) to very large (a few thousand entries). Is it bad, in the kernel context, to allocate a moderate amount and then increase one's allocation a la realloc(3)?

On a lighter note... how-to upgrade (Version 2)
In my origional version, I forgot the "make includes" line --- which has frustrated a few friends, so: Source Upgrade 3.4 to 4.x, Version 2: I have followed the UPDATES file... and I have source-make-world upgraded several machines from 3.3 and 3.4 to 4.0-CURRENT recently.

(Bootstrap) cd /usr/src make includes (generate things needed to make kernel) make all->install usr.sbin/config make all->install usr.bin/genassym (it appears that a lot of things don't work right until the new kernel is in place, and it can be installed first) make 4.0 kernel reboot with 4.0 kernel (remember de->dc change and other device name changes.) (you will have trouble with root not being fsck'd if you crash in here requiring manual intervention. This goes away after you makedev your disks again.) (bootstap compile process) make all->install 1) lib/libc 2) lib/util 3) lib/kvm and usr.bin/top (if you like to watch things run) 4) usr.sbin/yacc 5) gnu/usr.bin/cc make world cp /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV /dev; cd /dev; MAKEDEV all std (you might also want to MAKEDEV any disk devices that you like) reboot (Paranoia?) make kernel again make world again reboot again The only problem I've run into ... and it was a system that had been source upgraded repeatedly from somewhere back around 2.2.5 ... was that I had a /usr/local/bin/makeinfo lying around that caused trouble for the gnu/usr.bin/cc build.

Printer fiascos.
Why is it that a properly functioning printer is such a moving target in FreeBSD? I don't mean to be argumentative, but under 3.x, the magic cookie to make printers work (it appeared to be a flow control problem) was to change device ppc0at isa? port? flags 0x40 net irq 7 to device ppc0at isa? port? flags 0x40 tty irq 7 Now... I've upgraded to -CURRENT, and it has a much more serious problem. The line now reads device ppc0at isa? port? irq 7 ... so I havn't tried putting net or tty in it, but I have a printer with a particular problem --- it will often fail to pick up a sheet of paper. I suspect that this sets the paper out sense line of the parallel port (?). When this happens, the entire machine freezes until someone feeds the printer --- the momment it starts printing again, the computer unfreezes. Printer-port related things probe as: ppc0: at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/PS2/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: PCL,MLC,PML lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port plip0: on ppbus0 ppi0: on ppbus0 (I have tried putting the BIOS in different parallel port modes.)

I recently (this morning, I believe) cvsup'd and my scanner stopped working. Usually, scanimage recognises /dev/scanner which is a link to /dev/pass4 ... which is my scanner. I noticed several interesting things. If I connect the scanner to another SCSI bus (I have two), then camcontrol rescan doesn't find new devices --- I would expect the pass device to show up (it does at boot). Another thing is the output of scanimage -L (which tries to probe the scanner): [1:7:307]dgilbert@trooper:~> scanimage -L 0: 00 ... 0: 00 ... 0: 00 ... 0: 00 ... ... I tried recompiling and reinstalling scanimage (BTW... there's a "syntax error" or two in the gimp port right now) ... but it's output didn't change. It did take slightly longer to produce the output ... I don't know if that is significant.

On a lighter note... how-to upgrade
I have followed the UPDATES file... and I have source-make-world upgraded several machines from 3.3 and 3.4 to 4.0-CURRENT recently. I thought I'd contribute a method that is reasonably likely to work and reasonably likely to not be going overboard. Someone should maintain a file like this. (generate things needed to make kernel) make all->install usr.sbin/config make all->install usr.bin/genassym (it appears that a lot of things don't work right until the new kernel is in place, and it can be installed first) make 4.0 kernel reboot with 4.0 kernel (remember de->dc change and other device name changes.) (you will have trouble with root not being fsck'd if you crash in here requiring manual intervention. This goes away after you makedev your disks again.) (bootstap compile process) make all->install 1) lib/libc 2) lib/util 3) lib/kvm and usr.bin/top (if you like to watch things run) 4) usr.sbin/yacc 5) gnu/usr.bin/cc make world cp /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV /dev; cd /dev; MAKEDEV all std (you might also want to MAKEDEV any disk devices that you like) reboot (Paranoia?) make kernel again make world again reboot again The only problem I've run into ... and it was a system that had been source upgraded repeatedly from somewhere back around 2.2.5 ... was that I had a /usr/local/bin/makeinfo lying around that caused trouble for the gnu/usr.bin/cc build.

BOOTP and IPFIREWALL
options BOOTP and options IPFIREWALL appear to be incompatible in -CURRENT. I havn't tried -STABLE. While the kernel compiles fine, the BOOTP code fails to send the discover packet and panic()'s. While it might not be immediately obvious that you'd want IPFIREWALL in a BOOTP-loaded machine, there are good reasons for it...

BOOTP still broken?
I've followed the BOOTP threads in -current from the archives, but I can't find any resolution of the issue. I cvsup'd -current last night and still have a non-working BOOTP kernel. Many of the posts centered around PXE negating the need for BOOTP kernel support. Just how are you supposed to mount root in that case? Anyways, with both an ed0 and an ep0, the kernel ends up telling me... Bootpc: hardware address is Bootpc-call: sosend: 13 state 00 panic: BOOTP call failed ... I suppose I could run -STABLE on this machine, but I'd rather not have two complete bin trees.

I already knew that, but it's a manual reboot... and this is "suboptimal" (ie. requiring operator intervention).

fsck of /, related to last post.
Related to my last post, the system came up and started to fsck. It appears, with current, that the system will refuse to r/w mount root even though the fsck has complete successfully. Is this an rc-file out-of-date issue, or has something changed in the kernel. Root is an 18G SCSI (da0s1a) on a 2940-LVD controller.
