Compaq/HP Evo d310 - register dump upon booting Install-CD
Hi, I'm facing a rather severe problem installing 5.4 (or 5.4-Beta): Hardware: Compaq/HP Evo d310 latest available BIOS 3.18 HD: 40GB Problem: When booting from a FreeBSD-Installation CD (either disc1, bootonly - doesn't really matter) the system immediately crashes when it comes to the FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader. In effect I get a register dump followed by BTX halted. I've already changed/set/reset every possible setting in the BIOS, changed the harddisk, used another memory - the problem remains the same. Interestingly this system runs under Windows without any problems. BTW, I've tried with 4.11, 5.3 and 5.4-Beta1 - always the same story :-( I really can't believe that Windows should be the one and only system that runs on this Hardware?! I've taken screenshots (in the purest sense of the word - pictures taken with a digicam from the crash) - you can find them under: http://www.jenisch.at/Evo-d310-install-crash/5.3-bootcrash.jpg and http://www.jenisch.at/Evo-d310-install-crash/5.4-bootcrash.jpg So here are my questions: o) Has anybody else experienced these problems on a Evo d310 o) What can be done against it?

Re: What's an easy way to replace a drive?
On 2005-03-24 05:09, Anthony Atkielski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The continuing problems I'm having with my SATA drives seem to center on only one of the two drives, /dev/ad10, and since both drives are identical (Western Digital WD1200JD 120-GB SATA drives), this is a good indicator that the drive itself might be failing. So I've decided to spend $83 and buy a replacement drive to see if that fixes the problem. Now, what's the easiest way to replace the drive? The drive I want to replace contains only /var and /tmp. Are these mounted in single-user mode? I was thinking perhaps I can just replace the drive, set up identical slices on the new drive, then restore /var and /tmp from the latest backup. Can I restore from tape in single-user mode? I don't have any extra connectors to which I can attach this drive without removing one of the other drives, so I'm looking for a way to fix it up by just removing the old drive and putting in the new one, without the need to have both old and new drives online at the same time. You'll have to use some sort of temporary storage for the data of the original /var and/or /tmp then. A tape or a local partition with a lot of free space will do just fine. If your other partitions have enough space to hold a compressed copy of the files, i.e. in var.cpio.gz and tmp.cpio.gz under /usr/backup, you can use that space as a temporary storage area. It takes a bit of planning and care, but it's relatively straightforward: 1. Boot single user 2. Mount all the file systems manually. This takes a bit of effort, but it's not too hard: # adjkerntz -i # swapon -a # fsck -p # mount -u / # mount -va 3. Copy over the files of /var and /tmp under /usr/backup: # mkdir /usr/backup # cd /var # find . | cpio -o | gzip -9c - /usr/backup/var.cpio.gz # cd /tmp # find . | cpio -o | gzip -9c - /usr/backup/tmp.cpio.gz 4. Make sure your backup copies are fine: # cd /usr/backup # zcat tmp.cpio.gz | cpio -i -tv # zcat var.cpio.gz | cpio -i -tv 5. Sync your disks, and halt the system. 6. While the system is turned off, swap disks. 7. Boot in single user mode again. 8. Mount everything (as before), except for /tmp and /var. You can either mount the file systems one by one, or mount the root file system as read-write, comment out the fstab entries for /var and /tmp and use `mount -a' as before. 9. Partition, label and newfs the new disk. One way of doing this from the command line. 10. Mount the partitions of the new disk in their new location. 11. Restore everything from /usr/backup: # cd /tmp # zcat /usr/backup/tmp.cpio.gz | cpio -i -dmvu # cd /var # zcat /usr/backup/var.cpio.gz | cpio -i -dmvu 12. Sync your disks reboot. 13. Optionally, after you verify that everything works as expected, delete the compress CPIO archives from /usr/backup. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: AMD64 much slower than i386 on FreeBSD 5.4-pre
If you haven't used amd64 then why are you qualified to comment on the subject? If he's using the same settings for i386 and amd64, then the results should be balanced. I think the point here is that the same settings, which are probably the defaults, run a lot slower on amd64 than i386. And I don't see that you have any insight to provide.

I can relate to your frustration, but can say that I was able to greatly improve 5.x performance with some effort. For example I went from a maximum sustained disk write of 15Mb/s to 90Mb/s on a file server. That said, to help you get a better response to your question I would suggest trying these things: - Document and post your testing procedures and results. This will allow others to get a much clearer picture of what may be happening. As I'm sure you know support via e-mail is very difficult because there is so much information that is missing. - You may want to try the performance list if you don't get any answers from this list. - File a problem report so that the developers are aware of your situation. I don't think that they spend allot of time on this list.

RFC 2005 - mounting two slices from 2 different disks to same mount point ;)
Hello Gang! On FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, we have mounted slices as follows: -bash-2.05b$ mount /dev/ad0s3a on / (ufs, local) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/ad0s3e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s3f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s3d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local) /dev/ad0s5 on /drive_d (msdosfs, local) /dev/ad3s1d on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s3e was 500MB /dev/ad3s1d was 40GB In /etc/fstab, we specified the mount point for both to /tmp. We then wrote a 1GB file to /tmp and there was no error. The file was successfully written. Can an expert with disks tell me where the file was written? How did the system decide where to write the file? How did it select /tmp in this case? Linux guys have talked about disk spanning using the method we just tested.

They were tuning the MAX_INTS parameter for the em driver, which can hold off interrupts to reduce system overhead. Instead of minimizing the load, they were focused on squeezing a few extra bits out of iperf, which is not how you tune performance. If you get 700Kb/s and have a 95% load and can get 695Kb/s with 60% load, which is better? Plus they were testing with a regular PCI bus, so they were hitting the wall on the bus throughput, which changes all the timings, so it was just a stupid test in general. I would say 60% load. Now I completely understand what you were saying. I'm not 100% sure of what he was saying, but I've seen the same thing. I take an i386 disk and pop on an amd64 disk with the same settings, except for the 3 or 4 required differences, and the i386 machine has WAY less network load. So maybe your buildworld runs faster, but the whole interrupt/process switching mechanism runs like crap, so you likely have a slower machine.

I think the point of a list is so that someone can say oh yes, I had problems with the em driver in amd64 also; try card X. But instead you get a lot of people with no real idea trying to explain away the problem, as if there is no chance that the amd64 implementant just plain sucks wind. If someone who actually has an amd64 build could post some usage/load numbers, or someone who did some testing with various hardware, that might be useful. So far what we have is like a bunch of Mothers trying to defend their children without having any viable answers or evidence than amd64 is any good at all. Only a people who say nonsensical things like my opteron blows away any P4, like a kid bragging about his mustang or something. The em driver has a standard hold-off of 8000 ints/second, so thats not likely the problem. Its likely to be the same in both i386 and amd64, so its a control. snippage So the whole interrupt/process switching mechanism runs like crap with the amd64 build?

problem regarding DHCP and netgraph ether bridge
Hello! I am trying to test the commands mentioned in http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200406/netgraph.html and it seems that there is no way at all to make the virtual interface (ngeth0) to get an IP address through DHCP (server running on a win98 box at 192.168.0.1). All the DHCPOFFERS seem to be ignored, despite there is no firewall or any other bad configuration issue (the DHCPOFFERS get sent from the DHCP server; confirmed via tcpdump). The actual network i/f (ep0) has no problem acquiring an IP address from the DHCP server as well. The funny thing is that if I hardcode an IP address to the ngeth0 (i.e. 192.168.0.5) and add the default route accordingly, I have perfect connectivity between the two machines (and from/to the Internet). Any ideas why the dhclient ignores the DHCPOFFERS when run for the ngeth0 i/f while it accepts them when run for the ep0 i/f? Thanks in advance.

So that setting was redundant, it was best to leave it alone. He also seemed to say the network bandwidth was constant, and system load rose with an 64bit system. This right? If he was using GENERIC on a smp system he was only using 1 cpu with out a recompile. There is just so much that could be wrong and he gives no information on his system or settings. Doess he have 2 amd64 pcs with 2 different installs of 5.3, or a single machine that he ran both versions on? The router, is that a third machine that was an amd64 system, or something else? He says i386, but an up to date 5.3 world doesn't support 386 with out a work around. The least commom setting is now 486, but a build for 686 would be better. Did he tell you if he had polling on? So I guess it is a good thing you were able to help him, because I couldn't. Not to mention the flame bait you through out, well, that would be wrong. ___ - Previous Message No, thats not what I was talking about. They were tuning the MAX_INTS parameter for the em driver, which can hold off interrupts to reduce system overhead. Instead of minimizing the load, they were focused on squeezing a few extra bits out of iperf, which is not how you tune performance. If you get 700Kb/s and have a 95% load and can get 695Kb/s with 60% load, which is better? Plus they were testing with a regular PCI bus, so they were hitting the wall on the bus throughput, which changes all the timings, so it was just a stupid test in general. I would say 60% load. Now I completely understand what you were saying. I'm not 100% sure of what he was saying, but I've seen the same thing. I take an i386 disk and pop on an amd64 disk with the same settings, except for the 3 or 4 required differences, and the i386 machine has WAY less network load. So maybe your buildworld runs faster, but the whole interrupt/process switching mechanism runs like crap, so you likely have a slower machine. I haven't seen any test that shows otherwise, just a bunch of swell guys swearing that one thing is faster than another. I understand that you don't want to hear the truth, so flame away. But its not going to make things any better. Ahh! More flame bait! I just didn't like you platitudinal and unproductive message that I believe would just drive Boris onto linux and leave a possible open problem on FreeBSD for some one else to discover latter. It's not that I don't want to hear the truth, you were just not saying anything worth his time. But atleast now we can get some where to help him and the amd64 port. I also had the idea that Boris was just trolling because he has not responded, just said FreeBSD was bad and left us to duke it out. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] So the whole interrupt/process switching mechanism runs like crap with the amd64 build? Since I don't have a amd64 system, and you might hav access to atleast 1, how about getting a little info on the irqs? Look at systat -vmstat or vmstat -i under load? aybe report it back? I wonder if the irq rates are changing, or irqs are taking longer to service. Either there is a problem. Ofcourse some hardware info would be nice, chipset and cpu? Maybe you script vmstat -i for a log, and use netperf too? I like Nick's followup. I would guese Boris may have a problem with proper hardware support. I can't really said it is bad hardware if speeds are the same, just high load(right?). Maybe the driver he is using is not good for 64bit as it is for 32bit? I think if Boris studies the thread I like to below he will be alright. Check this out: http://www.atm.tut.fi/list-archive/freebsd-stable/thrd66.html

Surprising, the OS does boot. /bin must be there because typing mount /usr tells me that /usr has a bad superblock. Maybe I can create the /usr mountpoint. If I reboot from CD everything is lost. (I didn't check if /stand got' created. FWIW, the strange this is: If I create a tiny /usr of, say, 5GB, vrything is happy.

The problem with dd-ing a partition or slice is that when you put it back, what was on the old drive would then overwrite the new including the slice and partition tables and boot sector, etc. It is likely that the new/rebuilt disk would be slightly different than the old so you really want to slice/partition/newfs it from scratch.

Re: What's an easy way to replace a drive?
Hi, In the worse case scenario, you want to move a system drive. (If it's not a system drive, you get less steps.) This is for the NOVICE, I therefore suggest the sysinstall gui to do the lifting: (No, I use bsdlabel, fdisk, etc, but this is more simplistic and generates ease-of-use methodology.) 1) connect the drive to the system. (NOTE: if you are trying to do a system disk and you aren't familiar with bsdlabel, fdisk, etc., connect a single disk to the machine and boot the distro CD.) 2) use sysinstall to partition the drive correctly. (Tools are fdisk and bsdlabel.) Make sure you write an MBR and/or boot blocks to the drive. When creating the partitions, typically, make them look similar to the original. /, /usr, /var. (NOTE: if you have another drive connected to the system, sysinstall will try to create d: as the first partition on the new drive when you want it to be a: . That's why I suggest keeping only the new drive connected for now. Getting real familiar with bsdlabel and fdisk can get you around this as you mature as a system administrator.) 3) Write all the changes out to the drive from the partition editor. It will label the drive partitions and then newfs. (It will prompt you with: Are you sure you want to do this now? ) 4) At this point, you can shutdown and connect the system drive and bring up the system into single user mode on the initial drive. Create mount points like: /root2, /var2, /usr2 and mount the NEW drives partitions to them. Do a: mount -a to make sure all partitons on the system drive are mounted. 5) Now, use dump and restore to move everything over. This will, typically, be much faster than dd on a non-full drive. DD has to read everything. This method just moves the info on the disk. for example: cd /root2; dump 0af - / | restore xf - change permissions on . ? (or something like it) y ret cd /var2; dump 0af - /var | restore xf - etc. If you just want a simple method of backing up partitions to a file: (I use the mount points here for simplicity, /home could be replaced by /dev/ad0s1f or such.) cd partition on new drive; dump 0af - /home | gzip home.dump.gz dump 0af - /usr | gzip usr.dump.gz without gzip... dump 0af home.dump /home later to restore, cd new location gunzip /path/home.dump.gz | restore xf - without gzip restore xf /path/home.dump I tried to make this simple.

Hi there, can somebody please suggest a configuration for bacula use on a FreeBSD 4.9 machine? anybody got this running well? tips for initial onstream setup are welcome. cheers, Noah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
new install only starts on boot
I am installed the FreeBSD 5.3 port for openldap-sasl-2.2.23, which starts fine on boot, but will not restart. I get the error 'main: TLS init def ctx failed: -1' in the debug.log even if TLS options are not setup. I take a default slapd.conf file and adjust to my domain and it will not restart. Does the SASL all have to be setup in this openldap-sasl port before the server will even start? I have the Cyrus IMAP working with SASL+krb5 now fine. I compared my slapd.conf file to one on another server with the standard openldap port without SASL and looks fine, also checked permissions, etc. How can I troubleshoot this further? There is an krb5 key in the keytab file for the host and ldap service, but again, I don't even have these things enabled in ldap at the moment, just trying to get a successful restart. The only error seen in the logs besides the above is there during boot as well: Mar 23 11:27:12 host slapd[456]: SQL engine 'mysql' not supported Mar 23 11:27:12 host slapd[456]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available However, I have googled this and it seems that it may be harmless and other services using SASL, such as imapd, spit out the same thing. Here is some info from my setup: slap.conf: include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema loglevel4196 pidfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.pid argsfile/var/run/openldap/slapd.args databasebdb suffix dc=domain,dc=tld rootdn cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=tld rootpw secret directory /var/db/openldap-data index objectClass eq host# ls -la /usr/local/etc/openldap/ total 40 drwxr-xr-x 5 ldap ldap512 Mar 19 18:44 . drwxr-xr-x 15 root wheel 1536 Mar 24 10:15 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 ldap ldap512 Mar 24 10:15 certs -rw-r--r-- 1 ldap ldap 8879 Nov 28 16:55 ldap.conf drwxr-xr-x 3 ldap ldap 1024 Mar 19 18:44 schema -rw-r--r-- 1 ldap ldap314 Mar 24 09:58 slapd.access -rw--- 1 ldap ldap 2976 Mar 24 10:23 slapd.conf host# ls -la /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema total 338 drwxr-xr-x 3 ldap ldap 1024 Mar 19 18:44 . drwxr-xr-x 5 ldap ldap512 Mar 19 18:44 .. -r--r--r-- 1 ldap ldap 19562 Mar 19 18:44 core.schema host# ls -la /var/run/openldap/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 ldap ldap512 Mar 24 15:31 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 1024 Mar 24 10:21 .. srwxr-xr-x 1 root ldap 0 Mar 24 15:31 ldapi host# ls -la /var/db/openldap-data total 568 drwx-- 2 ldap ldap 512 Mar 23 11:27 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 512 Mar 24 15:21 .. -rw--- 1 ldap ldap 8192 Mar 24 10:01 __db.001 -rw--- 1 ldap ldap 270336 Mar 24 10:01 __db.002 -rw--- 1 ldap ldap98304 Mar 24 10:01 __db.003 -rw--- 1 ldap ldap 368640 Mar 24 10:01 __db.004 -rw--- 1 ldap ldap24576 Mar 24 10:01 __db.005 -rw--- 1 ldap ldap 8192 Mar 24 10:01 dn2id.bdb -rw--- 1 ldap ldap32768 Mar 24 10:01 id2entry.bdb -rw--- 1 ldap ldap44451 Mar 24 10:01 log.01 -- Robert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kind of... it's an English language list to which posts are sometimes made in other languages. When that happens, generally one of the poster's fellow nationals gently reminds them that it's an English language list, and sometimes translates their questions so others can try to help. Sometimes not. It's informal, as we both know. But to call it multilingual is at best an exaggeration. This is not historically accurate, at least not in my experience. The attempt to make this an English-only list is a recent phenomenon. Posts in other languages were historically entirely welcome, and the only reason people were sent to language-specific lists was because they were likely to get better results there, not because there was a rule requiring that they use English here. As long as the domain name (freebsd.org) is not country-specific, we should expect visits from new users who don't speak English well or at all, and plan accordingly. Prohibiting them from posting here is not appropriate, unless the name of the list is changed to something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] In a previous message to me you stated: So it seems clear that: - English is the language in use in lists unless otherwise stated - there are non-English lists. Both of those statements are true. Neither leads to the conclusion that other languages are banned from this list. The fact that English is the default language for this list does not imply that other languages are banned. I responded because I do think it's important that the lists remain a useful archive, and that a call, as I read it, to splinter into many languages would break this. This is hogwash. Postings in other languages are still a useful archive. I don't claim to be multilingual, and I have certainly never made an effort to learn French, yet I can usually read enough of a French posting to understand the problem and proposed solution. Historically, the number of non-English postings has been so low as to be a non-issue. Your conjecture about what might happen was long ago demonstrated to be false. The list is here to help people. Creating an arbitrary English-only rule helps no one, and serves no useful purpose. As much as I would like to ban the French to their own list, I can't think of any legitimate reason to do so other than personal prejudice. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: USB 2.0 wireless mouse

Was this part of a wireless desktop (keyboard and mouse)? It's a Targus model PAWM004 optical wireless mouse and it is not part of a desktop set. I should also mention that I've recompiled the kernel to add USB 2.0 support (ehci driver) and am relatively new to FreeBSD. I've managed to get most glitches out except this one and my sound card (I'm using a laptop and things are kinda sketchy). Thanks, Jon Bomgardner Well, I'm jealous that you've got USB 2.0 compiled without getting a kernel panic (mine went awol when I added ehci). Unfortunately I don't know if I can be much help. At least not directly. Perhaps these URLs will get you closer to the mark: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-February/msg0 5000.html http://www.linuxcompatible.org/thread401-1.html Good luck. Lou OK... I checked these out but they are for Xorg and the problem I'm having is in the console. Unfortunately, neither of these worked. Any other ideas or leads to where I can find the information I need? So, I managed to avoid the conflict by removing the USB keyboard driver from my kernel (in hopes that the mouse driver would just take over) but it didn't. Now when I plug it in I can still type but it doesn't work. /dev doesn't show a ums0 device. Any ideas anyone?

Then, reboot into single user mode with the new disk, set up the disk the way you want it with fdisk and bsdlabel, and then untar or restore from dump. Can I boot from the FreeBSD boot CD and avoid mounting anything on any of the hard drives at all? (That's not a problem in this case, since the root is on a different drive, but if I ever had to replace the drive containing the root I'm just wondering how to go about it.)

Hardware problems after installing 5.4 pre-release
I'm running FreeBsd/amd64 on a Gateway 7422GX. I installed the 5.3-release version and configured the OS to function properly with the hardware except for the built-in wireless and the infamous conexant softmodem. I read up on some wireless setups to get my wireless card working. In the process, I decided to try my first attempt at a rebuild of world with the latest cvsup stable-supfile download (March 24, 2005). I used the method of: # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL # make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL # reboot selected singleuser mode from startup menu # fsck -p # mount -u / # mount -a -t ufs # swapon -a # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot (MYKERNEL is the GENERIC plus the lines needed for loading the sound system and the via8233 sound driver for my sound card) device sound device snd_via8233 (with mergemaster I chose i for each file, indicating to use tempory) I booted into the new environment and started KDE3.4. I noticed that I had no sound and no usb mouse functionality. I did the following: # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: VIA VT8235 at io 0x1000 irq 10 (5p/1r/0v channels duplex default) So, the driver seems to be loading, but I'm getting no sound. I've, also, done the following to try to get the sound back. # sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=8 # sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=8 I checked my mixer levels in KDE and added hint.pcm.0.vol=100 to the /boot/device.hints being that the usb mouse also stopped working, I think there might be an issue with the hardware discovery routines in bootup or a configuration file that 5.3 used was overwritten with the rebuilding of world. I'm quite new to FreeBSD and am trying to get a good grasp on the general workings of the OS. So, assume that I need step by step guidelines. Perhaps, since I'm dealing with a pre-release, some of the functionality is missing by design. I have assumed that STABLE would mean that functioning hardware from the prior release will continue functioning with STABLE. I've stayed clear of CURRENT assuming things may often be broken in that branch, as it is experimental. Any help in enlightening me on my hardware issues will be greatly appreciated. # uname -a FreeBSD Todds-Notebook.linksys 5.4-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-PRERELEASE #0: Thu Mar 24 14:26:05 UTC 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL amd64 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I noticed that it says no passthrough device, I have no idea, but, I have the fully SCSI device set in my kernel, including the passthrough device, pass. If you do, then, I guess we just have to believe it's having trouble talking to the device and due to the trouble, it's not detecting the passthrough device because it never negotiated the SCSI target correctly. # SCSI peripherals device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI) device ch # SCSI media changers device da # Direct Access (disks) device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc) device cd # CD device pass# Passthrough device (direct SCSI access) device ses # SCSI Environmental Services (and SAF-TE) P. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
