I just recently ported xmovie 1.5.2 to FreeBSD 4.0. The patch file
can be found at my home page http://www.pelissero.org.
It's rather big (80K) because it can be considered a fix patch for the
Linux version as well.
Among the other bugs, the code relied on a (sort of) misbehavior of
the Linux
I'm trying to run a SCO SVR4 executable on FreeBSD but I get a SIGSYS

As suggested it was a problem with the new polling mode.
Assigning an interrupt to the pcic0 controller solved the problem.
Thanks to Warner Losh and Ian Dowse.

I recently upgraded to 4.4-RC.
Now my Vaio panics when I use NFS volumes (as client).
The panic is reproducible with a:

Sometime I got a page fault, sometime a lockmgr: locking

This would be a *bad* idea. It would diverge our tar even more
than it already is -- which is so bad it isn't trival to update

Just noticed that the patch to usbd.c I proposed yesterday shows an
undesirable behaviour. That is, usbd executes the actions in
usbd.conf of all matching devices, which is not exactly what I meant
to do. In fact, usbd should execute for every device name the best
matching action in usbd.conf.

I don't know if this a widespread opinion, but I believe that saving
core files in backup tapes is a waste of time and space, often a big
waste. Consider that Emacs itself can fill hundred of megs of disk
space with just one core dump, that if you don't bother to debug, it
will likely sit there

Having noticed that there is not a big interest in it, among the
fellow FreeBSDers, I was about to set off and hack up the scsi
subsystem to implement spindown on suspend and spinup on resume of the
da devices, when I realized that there seems to be no hook in the SCSI
code for this events.

I eventually got around to hack scsi_da.c to implement spin down/up on
suspend/resume events of APM or ACPI. Actually the ACPI stuff is
untested and the APM once didn't work properly on my system: one of
the disks, after resume, was misbehaving (hardware errors). A power
toggle fixed the
I amended the patch. Now:
- the behaviour is controlled by a sysctl (off by default)
. - a 1s delay is done after each drive spin up, making things
easier for the system power supply
- no need to define anything; APM or ACPI methods are chosen
according to what has been made available
Reading geode.c it appears (at least to me) that the led devices are

Apparently FreeBSD 5.x is neither able to power off nor reset a Tyan
Tiger MP (S2460) motherboard. I believe it's a known problem. While
the power off may be due to a broken ACPI the reset can be fixed.

I was wondering if anybody would care for a beastie.4th that included
a boot option which turns off SMP. I personally believe it could make
sense where a SMP bug or a faulty MP motherboard made a boot
impossible. It would be easier than having to open up the box and
remove a CPU.
