I am way out of date and still have Coax running around my house, so it needs to be using the 10Base2 not 10BaseT. My problem is, the card is detected as ep0 yet I have a feeling that it might be better as zp0. I am not certain about this. The problem is - while it gets detected, quite well, I think. I can see lights change on the NIC as it detects it, which suggests the probing is working fine. It doesn't actually communicate with the netwrok. When I try and resolve my address via DHCP it doesn't flash or anything. Maybe I'm missing something. I can provide any information required. Any help would be much appreciated, i have almost the same problem with my 3Com 3C589 card. The light is not suppossed to blink tho, when i boot windows the light simply burns to indicate link and that is al it does. When i boot freebsd the light goes on and it does recieve a DHCP link. But after that all network communication fails. If not yet found a solution to it. But i was thinking that it might be because the pcmcia-controller from toshiba (laptop is a tecra 700CT) is not supported?

Re: portmap running amok
On Thu, Dec 26, 2002 at 01:03:54AM -0500, Paul Chvostek wrote: Infrequently ... that is, perhaps once every few weeks, my mail server grinds to a halt. The load average climbs into the hundreds, processes start getting killed off, and all because something seems to want to launch as many instances of portmap as it possibly can. And for the life o' me, I can't figure out what. The box is currently running 4.7-STABLE, but it's been doing this off and on since 4.4-RELEASE. The box is not an NFS server, but it becomes a client from time to time, and portmap and nfsiod are launched at startup. There are no NFS devices listed in /etc/fstab, there is no /etc/exports and no other NFS-related daemons are running. If I catch things in time (and have a shell already open), I can usually recover with `killall portmap`. If I'm not around (which is usually the case), the box will either grind to a halt requiring a console reset, or merely spontaneously reboot. The facts that you're only seeing this effect intermittently and that it has persisted over 4 different FreeBSD releases and that it's only you that seems to be affected suggest that it's something peculiar to your environment that is triggering the problem. I've certainly run FreeBSD boxes that make occasional NFS mounts via amd(8) during that timeframe without any problem. I can see no other strange behaviour (or network traffic) going on with this box -- aside from this problem, it behaves perfectly. Does any of this sound familiar? Where do I look for the problem? Hmmm... Did you ever happen to be monitoring network traffic starting *before* portmap went crazy? If it could be possible to grab (using 'tcpdump -o filename') a chunk of network traffic spanning the onset of crazyness it would be invaluable for debugging. However, that's probably going to be pretty tricky to arrange... Debugging this is going to be a tedious process of eliminating all the possible causes until you can isolate what the problem is. There are two angles of enquiry I'd start looking at. i) Hardware problems. Are you being hit by intermittent network flakyness? Look at the output of: netstat -i on the boxes in question (NFS server and client). You might even see error counts on other asymptomatic machines around your network. If your networking hardware supports it, do check for similar error counts on switches/hubs/routers around your network. While you're looking at all those machines, don't forget to check through the equivalents of /var/log/messages and /var/log/all.log (well worth editing /etc/syslog.conf to enable that) to see if there are any suspicious log messages If there's any entries under the Ierrs or Oerrs columns you probably have a problem. Usually, those columns should read zero all the way, but certain setups may cause a small number of errors to be registered at boot time. If the error counts increase over time something is definitely kaput. It can be as trivial as a badly plugged in network cable. ii) Enemy action. Well, not necessarily deliberate attempts to upset your machine, but some other box that can knock over portmap by some unfriendly stream of packets. Use ipfw(8) or ipf(8) to filter traffic to ports 2049 and 111 so that only those machines that are directly involved in normal NFS activity can access those services. Edit /etc/hosts.allow to enable the hosts_options(5) controls --- remember that RPC services and portmap have to be filtered by IP number rather than hostname. If the machine in question is exposed to the internet, you should have all these protections in place already, and you should be logging each and every unauthorized attempt to connect to those services, reading those logs regularly and if necessary making representations to the admins of the boxes used by the malefactors. Personally, I'd avoid running any sort of RPC based service (and thus running portmap) at all on a machine in such a position. RPC and portmap is too much of a gift to anyone seeking to do nefarious things to your systems. If all you need is occasional access to a file on the NFS server, then you're almost certainly going to be better off cooking up a script to do what you want using ssh(1) with passwordless access given using public key authentication.

PPPoE and troubles with TCP
Hello I have Alcatel Speedtouch Home ADSL modem. I use PPPoE protocol for connection with my Internet Service Provider (ISP) through this ADSL modem. I use FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE and ppp (a.k.a. user-ppp) for this. In the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file I have ' set MRU 1492' and ' set MTU 1492' options. This is because the maximum MTU one can use with PPPoE is 1492 according to RFC 2516. I have no problems with dialing to my ISP. But after the PPPoE connection is established I have troubles with TCP connections to some hosts. For example I can't go to hhtp://www.ssh.com/ but to http://www.freebsd.org/ or http://www.gnu.org/ I can. If I run 'telnet www.ssh.com 80' and enter HTTP request according to HTTP 1.1 or 1.0 protocol I don't get any answer. If I enter just 'GET /' I get some short answer. 'GET /' is an HTTP request according to the old HTTP 0.9 version of the protocol and it is rarely used today. But the problem is not HTTP, I think. If I do HTTP request according to HTTP 1.1 from my friends' computer I do have some long answer. Furthermore if I change the MRU and MTU to 1484 or smaller I have no problem with www.ssh.com. So it looks like TCP packet overflow or something like that. Besides FreeBSD I have Windows 98 Second Edition in my computer. I use PPPoE with Win98SE too. I use RASPPPOE driver fo it, go to http://www.raspppoe.com/ for more information. I have no problems with www.ssh.com when I use Win98SE with this impimentation of PPPoE protocol. I have MTU == 1492 set by default in RASPPPOE. I don't get error messages about fragmentation when I run 'ping -f -l 1464 www.ssh.com' in my Win98SE (ICMP+IP=1464+28=1492). Why in FreeBSD I cannot use MTU == 1492 without problems with some hosts like www.ssh.com ? How to fix it in FreeBSD? P.S. ping have different syntax in Windows, so don't be wondered about -f flag. -f sets no fragmentation flag in IP headers of all outgoing packets. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

qmail toaster wont deliver to v mailboxes
Hi all, I have been greatly helped in my quest for the MattSimerson fbsd qmail toaster that works by Danbiel Schrock...what a cool guy...but he is on hols I I have to get this damn thing working. Anyways Matt is a legend for his tute but whoa...what a task! So I have got the setup going ( qmail, vpopmail courierimapd + squirrelmail + qmailadmin + mysql auth etc etc). I can create virtual mail accounts using qmailadmin. I can get to the mailboxes using squirrel webmail and compose and send mail. But qmail bounces incoming mail claiming the account does not exist on the server. It will deliver mail fro the postmaster account but no others! I have no idea where to look to config it.

Hi, I didn't really have to configure *anything* as such to establish connectivity on FreeBSD. The router I have holds the configurations requried in order to authenticate to the ISP's upstream router. All I have to do from FreeBSD's view is configure the external interface to use the router as the default route (using ifconfig or /stand/sysinstall). That's it. As your initial problems, what happens if you set mtu to 1500 (or *not* define this?)? Here's what man ppp says: set mtu [max[imum]] [value] The default MTU is 1500. At negotiation time, ppp will accept whatever MRU the peer requests (assuming it's not less than 296 bytes or greater than the assigned maximum). If the MTU is set, ppp will not accept MRU values less than value. When negotia- tions are complete, the MTU is used when writing to the inter- face, even if the peer requested a higher value MRU. This can be useful for limiting your packet size (giving better bandwidth sharing at the expense of more header data). If the ``maximum'' keyword is used, ppp will refuse to negotiate a higher value. The maximum MTU can be set to 2048 at most. If no value is given, 1500, or whatever the peer asks for is used. A value must be given when ``maximum'' is specified. What does ifconfig ed0 return?

Hello all, A month or so ago I was trying to get Chuck's smiling face on my machine during boot up. I followed the instructions in man splash, but no dice. Same old probing screen. Does this even work? I tried doing it a year or so ago and couldn't get it working then. I recently re-installed FreeBSD (new, bigger HDD!) and was going to try it again, but I don't want to spend time on it if (for example) it simply doesn't work. Anyone have this working? If so, any pointers? Any suggestions on how to gather more information on what I may be doing wrong? I tried 3 different images, both with and without vesa. Same lack of result each time.

I asked almost the exact same question a month ago, and more recently a few days ago. Apparently no one has been able to get xdm to work across a network in FreeBSD, or they felt it was some rite of passage and didn't want to spoil the surprise. Having tried for a month to get it to work correctly, I suspect the former. I have a very similar setup, except I plan to use minimalist FreeBSD systems to connect to the server. The terminals I am attempting to setup are pure X terminals, and I plan to have them display a logon prompt to the server directly. My server does have a keyboard and CRT, but they are stowed away in a wiring closet. Here is what I do know. You can configure the XDMCP server (xdm) fairly easily on the server. It involves adding a script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d or modifying rc.conf to start it. You will need to modify Xaccess in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/lib/xdm (I believe), and remove a comment to allow your X servers to connect. On the server (or client depending on your POV), you run xdm --broadcast -and it should pick up the first server it finds. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck getting xdm to work either at the console or from the terminals as yet. I sometimes manage to get a login prompt, but the login always fails. If you figure out, I'd like to know how you did it - and I'll likewise remember you if I manage to work it out. Good luck, Seth Henry Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2002 13:09:26 -0800 (PST) From: Shvetima Gulati [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: simple xdm setup Hi all, I want to set up my X configuration as follows: 1) I want all clients (people) to log in to machine 'Server'using the GUI login.This brings them to their desktop. Typically these people are on windows machines running X servers such as eXceed or X-Win32. Some might be tunneling through ssh (port forwarding)so they would need to connect to local displays? 2) There is no physical keyboard or mouse attached to 'Server' 3) for administration purposes the command line is adequate, so there is no need for a GUI console. Essentially I want the PCs to function like dumb terminals running X displays. This is a fairly common scenario right ? How do I set up xdm for this? I searched the web but clear info was very sparse for FreeBSD (I am on 4.6.2). All pointers/help appreciated. Thanks, Shv.

In the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file I have ' set MRU 1492' and ' set MTU 1492' options. This is because the maximum MTU one can use with PPPoE is 1492 according to RFC 2516. I have no problems with dialing to my ISP. But after the PPPoE connection is established I have troubles with TCP connections to some hosts. For example I can't go to hhtp://www.ssh.com/ but to http://www.freebsd.org/ or http://www.gnu.org/ I can. If I run 'telnet www.ssh.com 80' and enter HTTP request according to HTTP 1.1 or 1.0 protocol I don't get any answer. If I enter just 'GET /' I get some short answer. 'GET /' is an HTTP request according to the old HTTP 0.9 version of the protocol and it is rarely used today. snipped Many lines of the default: section of the ppp.conf file are not critical. The only ones you need are these: set device PPPoE:ed0 set MRU maximum 1492 set MTU maximum 1492 enable dns See `man 8 ppp` for more information. Dude, I wasn't asking for assistance.., rather I was hoping to provide some help in response to your post.. :-) The reason why I asked about how you connect to your ADSL modem is because if its ethernet, then there is no need to use ppp. But if there's a case-requirement why you need to use ppp, then fair enough. Let me know either way, okay? Yes, my computer is connected to my ADSL modem by Ethernet. What is the way to connect with the ISP without PPP? Is it ethernet bridging with DHCP? My ADSL Service Provider (Bezeq) does not support this. Moreover, the use of ethernet bridging is inconvenient for me because I can't switch the ISP by myself. When I use PPP, over Ethernet or over whatever else, I have ISP string, so it is very easy to switch the ISP I'd like to use at the moment. P.S. What about my main question? Hi, I didn't really have to configure *anything* as such to establish connectivity on FreeBSD. The router I have holds the configurations requried in order to authenticate to the ISP's upstream router. All I have to do from FreeBSD's view is configure the external interface to use the router as the default route (using ifconfig or /stand/sysinstall). That's it. So, your FreeBSD box is within your LAN and have do dial with ADSL at all, only your router have. Your box have internal LAN's IP 192.168.1.8 and your router configured to do network address and port translation. This network configuration is completely different from my one. I have a modem, not a router. As your initial problems, what happens if you set mtu to 1500 (or *not* define this?)? Here's what man ppp says: set mtu [max[imum]] [value] The default MTU is 1500. At negotiation time, ppp will accept whatever MRU the peer requests (assuming it's not less than 296 bytes or greater than the assigned maximum). If the MTU is set, ppp will not accept MRU values less than value. When negotia- tions are complete, the MTU is used when writing to the inter- face, even if the peer requested a higher value MRU. This can be useful for limiting your packet size (giving better bandwidth sharing at the expense of more header data). If the ``maximum'' keyword is used, ppp will refuse to negotiate a higher value. The maximum MTU can be set to 2048 at most. If no value is given, 1500, or whatever the peer asks for is used. A value must be given when ``maximum'' is specified. What does ifconfig ed0 return? Please post that output here. This is a copy/paste of just 'ifconfig', so you can see all the interfaces: ed0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::200:21ff:fe82:2503%ed0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:00:21:82:25:03 faith0: flags=8002BROADCAST,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 ppp0: flags=8010POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1492 inet 192.117.108.59

It's described there to solve problem with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). I don't see any difference when it is disabled or enabled. RASPPPOE works just good with MTU == 1492 in my Win98SE. However my FreeBSD in the same box have troubles with TCP when I use PPPoE with MTU == 1492. The configuration of TCP MSS in my FreeBSD is default, I didn't change it.

Re: XFree86 4.2.1 Signal 11 on start
From: Scott Robbins [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wonder if this could be the problem--I've found, on several installs of both Linux and FreeBSD that I had much better luck selecting S3 Virge (Generic) for an S3 Trio card in xf86config. Not sure if it'll help, but probably worth a shot. No, it didn't help. However, I received an off-list message from Jean-Marc Zucconi who provided a solution. I added: Option NoInt10 to the Device section of XF86Config, and now X is running. Of course, I had to use the curses (or shell) based configuration (rather than the GUI utility) to get an initial XF86Config built, then added the NoInt10 option manually. I have to wonder why this option is necessary on XFree86-4, when it was not needed on XFree86-3.3.6. Is it a new feature of 4? Paul -- Paul A.

Harddisk Geometrie
hi freebsd During Installation FreeBSD 4.7 does not akzept the parameters the Harddisk Geometrie values of a IBM IC35L100AVV . the bios is showing 49275/16/255 ; Linux Kernel 2.4.19 can handle the disk and showing the geometrie of 199450/16/63. FreeBSD does not want to accept this parameters and is showing 12514/255/63 . Accepting this proposal will reduce the capacity ( because of bad blocks (they aren't there) ) and produce error messages running FreeBSD. That seems very confusing to me. LINUX Kernel 2.4.20 can not handle the Ali 5229 UltraDMA Controller and the ALI M1649 + M1535D Chipset, but FreeBSD seems to be able to handle that. What to do ?

So I got into the habit of completely removing Portupgrade and
everything associated with it including all the Ruby stuff, and
reinstalling them all, in order to upgrade. (it was the only way that
worked for me)
Have things improved in the meantime? Is there an easy way to
upgrade Portupgrade without removing everything and re-installing? I
currently have the 20020706 version installed.
You version is so far back that the upgrade is hopeless. You have things
that no long exist as parts of portupgrade and your version can't deal
with that. It is easier if you delete the portupgrade, ruby-*,
pkg_tartup, and what ever is left and reinstall it.
FWIW, it works flawlessly now. I just recently upgraded to the 1216
version by using portupgrade -rpuf ruby.

XFree86 troubles in 5.0 RC2
Hello, I have successfully installed FreeBSD 5.0 RC2 on my computer. Well, not quite, that's why I'm writing... The install went pretty smooth considering I am a total newbie to FreeBSD. I have also never used or even installed Linux. When I tried to configure XFree86 during the install, text mode was left and I entered a graphical configuration tool, that seemed display my current default configuration as a tree with symbolds for computer, graphics board, monitor and so on. I went into some configuration dialogs using the right click context menu, but when I was about to enter the keyboard config (or mouse?), I was brought back to the text mode installer with a message that said configuration of XFree86 seemed to have failed. Further atempts to enter the graphical configuration again failed. I finished the installation and booted the system from the harddrive. (I was very happy that the installation indeed left the MBR untouched and I could setup my existing bootmenu to include FreeBSD.) Some error messages scrolled by too fast for me to read, but they seemed like nothing serious, since the boot process continued and I got to the login prompt. The system seems fine, just that I cannot launch the X window system. When I type startx, I get an error message about a missing configuration file, which makes sense to me considering configuration failed earlier. I have then read the FreeBSD 4.7 manual about configuring XFree86. It says to use XFree86 -configure to create an initial configuration file. However, this too gives me an error message saying that the following Fatal Error happened: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O. I also tried what the welcome message says and started sysinstall. From there, I navigated to configuring XFree86, but again, the graphical configuration tool does not launch anymore. So, I'm stuck. I actually installed FreeBSD to check out the Gnome and KDE desktop and use Gimp. I don't know in which direction to investigate further. Thanks for any and all help.

Partial Buildworld Possible?
Hi, I would appreciate it if someone could explain why buildworld must rebuild _everything_, even if there is one small change(or no changes). For example, if I do the initial buildworld, then cvsup and see that code for /bin/ls has changed, then buildworld again, it recompiles everything. Shouldn't buildworld only recompile /bin/ls? Even if *nothing* changes, and I were to just run make buildworld two times consecutively, it still recompiles everything. Could someone explain why this is the behavior instead of just compiling what has changed?

linux_base port install - sig 12 (brandelf/SVR4)
Over last months, quite a couple of people complained that they couldn't install linux_base from ports. There is currently no clue given in replies about any reason for that failure. I am sure now that these people had activated the svr4.ko kernel module (rsp. svr4_enable=YES in rc.conf). Some people also complained that various linux binaries did not work anymore since upgrading to 4.7. The point here is that nearly all of the linux binaries have an brandelf of 0, that is SYSV, and not 3 aka Linux. The behaviour of this looks a little fuzzy alltogether, but as long as svr4.ko is not loaded and sysctl kern.fallback_elf_brand is set to 3 (the port takes care of the latter), most things seem to work. If fallback_elf_brand is not set, then dynamic linked binaries will still work, but static ones will not work except after they get a brandelf -t Linux. After svr4.ko is loaded, this looks a bit different: The kern.fallback_elf_brand variable has then no influence anymore. Static binaries with brandelf=0 will then run into sig-12, and those with brandelf=3 will complain about a missing ELF-Interpreter in /compat/svr4 (should this happen?). Dynamic binaries with brandelf=0 will also complain about the missing interpreter in /compat/svr4, only dynamic ones with brandelf=3 will still work.

Re: Partial Buildworld Possible?
Jonah Sherman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I would appreciate it if someone could explain why buildworld must rebuild _everything_, even if there is one small change(or no changes). For example, if I do the initial buildworld, then cvsup and see that code for /bin/ls has changed, then buildworld again, it recompiles everything. Shouldn't buildworld only recompile /bin/ls? Even if *nothing* changes, and I were to just run make buildworld two times consecutively, it still recompiles everything. Could someone explain why this is the behavior instead of just compiling what has changed? The reason is that there's a kind of dependency involved that make(1) isn't good at handling. When the compiler toolchain changes, make won't notice, so it always rebuilds the tools first and then rebuilds the world with the new tools. If you don't want it to do that, you can use the fact that your brain is smarter than make, and rebuild just the part you want (or use NOCLEAN, or other options) for that one shot.

Actually that was when I ran it just before writing that email.

Re-cvsup your ports tree and see if this still happens.
I just cvsup'd it yesterday, this was the prerequisite to trying to
update portupgrade and the rest of the ports.
FYI - if I'm not mistaken, cvsup-without-gui-16.1f shares the same
code as the with gui cvsup port, but with a different build option.
I have without-gui installed. I log everything and there isn't any point
to building the gui and then running it from a shell script that tees
the output.
The only reason I mentioned that port is because it showed up in the
list of port errors.
It looks like all these duplicate errors are for ports which
reference another port but just change the build options slightly.
IE the Makefile for cvsup-without-gui has just the following 2 lines:
MASTERDIR= ${.CURDIR}/..cvsup
WITHOUT_X11=yes
This is starting to make sense now.
As a matter of fact, after removing some orphaned ports and fixing up
some dependencies, everything is looking copacetic. Now for some
actual port upgrading. Thanks for all the help folks.

yes I know. I thought I implied in the followup that the problem was
in the part I didn't show: in the `vinum create` config files. The
len and driveoffset values didn't specify the s suffix; the
numbers were as output by disklabel (sectors), but vinum interprets
unqualified values as bytes. Once I turned the the
len 69729144 driveoffset 265 into len 69729144s driveoffset 265s
all was well.

It should be in /etc/X11/ It is a plain text file which you can edit as root. You will need to consult your monitor manual for its vertical and horizontal refresh rates and your video card manual for the amount of video RAM and likely video driver BUT you can set up the system exactly as you wish (which is why many of us prefer do do this rather than trust an install program).

PCCARD DHCP and media.
Hi, I've just got a 3C589 PCCARD NIC going. However, I'm using the BNC (10Base2) connector so I need to specify ``media 10base2/BNC'' in rc.conf. However, if I do this DHCP doesn't seem to work. Is there any way that I can combine media 10base2/BNC and DHCP into pccard_ifconfig? Thanks, -lewiz. -- Pereant, inquit, qui ante nos nostra dixerunt.

wine/FreeBSD/no M$ partitions - can't find a good resource
Hey all. I'm having some trouble with the wine port (not the linux compat version). I followed the directions at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/09/21/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=1 pretty much to the letter, with the exception that it seems out of date with regards to the flags used with wine, and that SolSuite 2001 is now SolSuite 2003, but I'm getting a bunch of problems running even the basic stuff. My system is totally dedicated to FreeBSD with no M$ partitions. I copied over the FreeCell exe from an NT box, and it seems to work pretty well, but I'm always getting this error: fixme:reg:GetSystemInfo not yet supported on this system Even when the exe works. Any idea what that is? Also, I have a Win2K cd, and I'd like to just expand the files one at a time as I need them into my 'C drive', but the expand.exe that came with wine doesn't work, nor does the one on the CD Rom. Anyone have any ideas? I did a good bit of poking around, and it seems the wine/FreeBSD/no MS partition combo is a pretty uncommon one. Anyone have links to any decent resources for this situation?

cdrecord coaster problem solved
I had some problems with cdrecord making audio CDs and some helpful person on this
list suggested I use cdrdao(1) instead. Well, that turned out to be the solution. I
did try using ATAPICAM with an IDE burner I had on hand, but it doesn't seem to be
able to write (good thing it didn't cost anything, though perhaps I see why).
The biggest problem I had with cdrdao was the need for a TOC file and the correct
syntax. Turns out there are some samples in the distribution's source files. They
don't work for me (you can't specify a driver as I need to do, just a device, and the
device is expressed in a linux-ish style), but it's often easier to work from
something that's broken that to start from scratch.
It's basic as can be, but it saves me from trying to remember this stuff, and isn't
that what scripts are all about?
[/usr/home/paul/bin]:: more wav2toc.sh
#!/bin/sh
# usage: $0 FILES *.wav
DIR=$1
TOCFILE=`basename $1`.toc
echo CD_DA ${TOCFILE}
echo ${TOCFILE}
for i in ${DIR}/*.wav
do echo TRACK AUDIO ${TOCFILE}
echo PREGAP 0:1:0 ${TOCFILE}
echo FILE \$i\ 0 ${TOCFILE}
echo ${TOCFILE}
done
echo File ${TOCFILE} written
Running with a path grabs all the WAV files, creates a file based on the basename of
the path, then writes out all the particulars.

Dunno if it will be useful to anyone (like anyone else is converting vinyl LPs to CDs)
. . . .
and the incantation for cdrdao is as follows: I need to specify a driver for this unit
(it's branded as a Pinnacle CDR 5040S and is allegedly supported by cdrecord as a
workalike for a similar unit).
sudo cdrdao write --eject --device 0,1,0 --driver teac-cdr55 toc

Strange panics in mi_switch etc. in 4.4
Hello,
I am getting (relatively) random panics in the kernel,
mostly at boot-time. The kernel is not `factory-made',
i recompiled it, but GENERIC shipped with 4.4-RELEASE
also seems to be reproducing the bug (I got it there
at least once).
The most frequent faults are in mi_switch() called from
tsleep() and in tsleep() itself. The callers of tsleep()
are different disk routines: biowait(), mount() etc.
Here is an extract from the dump:
-extract begin-
118Additional daemons:
118 syslogd
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x0
fault code = supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc013cb60
stack pointer = 0x10:0xc3c4ee94
frame pointer = 0x10:0xc3c4eeb8
code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 119 (syslogd)
interrupt mask = net tty bio cam
-extract end-
In mi_switch(), the place of trouble is:-\
(kern_synch.c) V
if (p-p_stat != SZOMB p-p_limit-p_cpulimit != RLIM_INFINITY
p-p_runtime p-p_limit-p_cpulimit) {
The != compare fails, p_cpulimit is NULL!
They seem to occur when much disk activity is in place, and
most frequently appear when i boot the PC the first time
a day (?, i rarely manage to boot the first time;). As this can
involve HD problems, here's what FreeBSD says about it:
ata1-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable
ad2: 76319MB ST380021A [155061/16/63] at ata1-master WDMA2
The numbers are correct. Note that my olden bios can't handle
the whole disk, but IMHO that can't be the cause of trouble.
By the way, i can't get /boot/loader to load, because it's
outside the addressable area;) The cause of trouble might be
being low on core (32MB ONLY) or on stack (dunno, seems
to be enough of). How do i figure it out?
The STRANGE thing about them is when i put splhigh() -
splx() `braces' around the offending instructions, the bugs
DISAPPEAR _there_, but reappear in other places; i can
only fix some of them, and i can't be running ints disabled
all the time! Is there a background proc playing fandango
on core? What do i do? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
