Device gm0 destroyed?
Hello, I have a FreeBSD 5.3 system with ATA disk drives. I have created a mirror using these commands: # gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad0 # modified /etc/fstab # shutdown -r now # gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad2 After a year, one of the disk failed. When it failed, the kernel crashed (some error with gmirror, I couldn't write it down). After the removal of the broken disk drive, after reboot, I get this: Feb 13 17:40:49 Router kernel: ad0: 78167MB Maxtor 6Y080P0/YAR41BW0 [158816/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 Feb 13 17:40:49 Router kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0 created (id=3252783474).

Okay, let's say I undestand that, it's a bug somewhere in the gmirror code since 5.3 is not the freshest BSD anymore. So my question is: why is Device gm0 destroyed.? I had to mount the filesystems using /dev/ad0 drive again, which is not what I really want if one of the drives dies - I think this way gmirror's RAID-1 fails to provide one of its basic functionalities - a working system when one of the drives fails.

Re: Xorg on FreeBSD does not work

Re: Apache Rotate Logs and Log Rotate
Peter Pluta wrote: I have Apache making separate log files for each of my virtual hosts and putting them in /home/vhostname/log. Rotate logs makes a new log every 24 hours, but the logs quickly add up and since the sites are fairly busy the logs are at times over 5gigs. Is there any way to make rotate logs delete the log files after two days? Someone recommended me Log Rotate (from the ports tree), but this program does basically what Rotate logs does; except it makes things more complicated because it needs to restart apache and such. Is there a easy way to just have Apache's rotatelogs rotate the logs and then delete them after two days? Any feedback, suggestions, or comments would be greatly appreciated. rotatelogs doesn't do any sort of deletion stuff. It just doesn't have that capability. On the other hand a simple cronjob that deletes all but the N newest files in the directory is just a small matter of scripting. Assuming you want to keep at least 30 of the latest log files, you can generate a list of files to delete by something like: ls -1t /home/vhostname/log.* | sed -n -e '30,$p' Alternatively you can abuse the daily_clean_tmps periodic job to delete any files from that directory over a certain age.

Check the MTU size on your new machine with the MTU set on your
firewall/DSL router. I remember that I had a similar problem years
ago: The ppp-Device connecting to my ISP used a different MTU from my

the connection to the target host was opened, and small files (e.g.
index.html on some sites) were transferred successfully.

Re: serious performance problems with 6.2 Release
On 15/02/07, Steven H. Baeighkley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings, We are having some bizarre performance problems on a freshly installed 6.2 Release server. This is a supermicro superserver 6022c dual 2.0 Xeon with 2GB RAM. These CPUs do support hyperthreading. We have done significant testing with both hyperthreading turned on and off in the bios and in the OS, to no avail. The server is configured as a web server with apache 2.2.4 php 5.2.0 and ZendOptimizer. We are running proftpd 1.3.1rc1 and perl 5.8.8. We have another server running 4.11 with the same exact hardware and software versions. We have updated to the newest bios that Supermicro provides. The trouble is that the 6.2 box performs significantly worse than the 4.11 server. The load on the 6.2 server is regularly between 2.0 and 6.0. The load on the 4.11 server is between .57 and 1 despite often servicing more connections. We began this process to upgrade into the 6 tree because 4 is EOL. We kept the old 4.11 drive from this machine and when replacing it into the box performance is excellent just like our other 4.11 box. We have tired multiple tuning variables as recommended by both FreeBSD and apache and tried the recommendations in the 6.2 errata as well. The 6.2 errata states that kern.ipc.nmbclusters=0 will help the kernel memory allocator properly deal with high network traffic. We tried this and initially thought that the box was showing wonderful performance, but then we realized that the box was not allowing much network access at all. A single ssh and proftpd connection were all it would accept. Apache wouldn't even start giving a MaxClients error. Removing this option returned it to functional though poor performance mode. Are we missing something with how to use this variable? IS this expected behavior? This particular hardware does display some oddities on both machines, running either 6.2 or 4.11. We know that FreeBSD has hyperthreading turned off by default. We have done some additional testing with hyperthreading turned on in the OS, but we wish for it to remain off due to security concerns. If we disable hyperthreading in the bios and have it disabled in the OS then FreeBSD sees one physical and one logical processor (from dmesg) and only uses processor 0. If we enable hyperthreading in the bios and leave it disabled in the OS it will show 4 CPUs but only use 0 and 2. Top will show that there is 50% idle CPU despite the fact that the box is 100% loaded, CPU 1 and 3 are idle. We would expect that FreeBSD would not see logical processors when hyperthreading was disabled in either the BIOS or the OS. This may just be a communication problem between the BIOS and FreeBSD, but we don't see this behavior on other supermicro servers with hyperthreading. VMSTAT, NETSTAT, NFSSTAT and FSTAT show similar numbers between both servers, certainly nothing that would explain why a single httpd process requires 20% of a CPU on the 6.2 box and only 5-7% on the 4.11, but we could easily be missing something. We suspected NFS or disk bottlenecks, but ran IOZONE tests and found that the 6.2 box is actually having better performance on nfs and disk access. We are running a slightly customized SMP kernel with device polling enabled. The only bottleneck apears to be CPU usage, which works fine on 4.11. From what we've read we should not be seeing these performance problems with 6.2. So what are we missing? We assume its something stupid that will fix this problem quickly and easily, but so far, despite all the resources, we have been unable to find a problem with enough in common with our own to suggest possible solutions.

nforce 4 sata and freebsd 6
I noticed one of my servers works much better in freebsd 5 noticeably it is faster and more stable. I then found this post. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-May/050529.html and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=75540 So in freebsd 5.x there was limited nforce 4 support for pata devices and a patch made to support sata devices, so I checked the same file on freebsd 6.2 and there is no reference to ATA_NFORCE4 at all in the file, checked 5.4 and sure enough its there. So my question is why did ata-chipset.c in 2004 have some support for nforce4 and a patch in current which I think was 6.x at the time have support for sata and now nforce4 is completely wiped in 6.x? Was it not stable and scrapped for timescale to release or some other reason? nforce4 is a fairly popular chipset. My 150 sata hd is running in some sort of compatibility mode now as a result of the lack of a driver.

Re: RAID 10-LUN Question
To determine the optimal stripe size you need to analyze whether you will read and write large data chunks or smaller data chunks. Then opt for either a larger or smaller stripe size. Remember though that the larger a stripe the more potential for wasted disk space. In general you can either manage RAID in the hardware, or in the hardware along with some OS compatible software. Running RAID 10 with hot spares makes the OS management piece not terribly necessary except to see the array status and any RAID failures. These will also show up on the console when the system is booted. If this server will be remotely managed you will want to use software from within the OS to manage the RAID. -Derek At 10:29 PM 2/14/2007, Dak Ghatikachalam wrote: At 02:54 PM 2/14/2007, Dak Ghatikachalam wrote: Hi Freebsd We have DELL/EMC CX-300 storage array hardware , Navisphere. , which consist of 15 Disks 320GB, I am planning to use this for Oracle( Linux) + SQL server(M$) purpose.

We tried this and initially thought that the box was showing wonderful performance, but then we realized that the box was not allowing much network access at all. A single ssh and proftpd connection were all it would accept. Apache wouldn't even start giving a MaxClients error. Removing this option returned it to functional though poor performance mode. Are we missing something with how to use this variable? IS this expected behavior? This particular hardware does display some oddities on both machines, running either 6.2 or 4.11. We know that FreeBSD has hyperthreading turned off by default. We have done some additional testing with hyperthreading turned on in the OS, but we wish for it to remain off due to security concerns. If we disable hyperthreading in the bios and have it disabled in the OS then FreeBSD sees one physical and one logical processor (from dmesg) and only uses processor 0. If we enable hyperthreading in the bios and leave it disabled in the OS it will show 4 CPUs but only use 0 and 2. Top will show that there is 50% idle CPU despite the fact that the box is 100% loaded, CPU 1 and 3 are idle. We would expect that FreeBSD would not see logical processors when hyperthreading was disabled in either the BIOS or the OS. This may just be a communication problem between the BIOS and FreeBSD, but we don't see this behavior on other supermicro servers with hyperthreading. VMSTAT, NETSTAT, NFSSTAT and FSTAT show similar numbers between both servers, certainly nothing that would explain why a single httpd process requires 20% of a CPU on the 6.2 box and only 5-7% on the 4.11, but we could easily be missing something. We suspected NFS or disk bottlenecks, but ran IOZONE tests and found that the 6.2 box is actually having better performance on nfs and disk access. We are running a slightly customized SMP kernel with device polling enabled. The only bottleneck apears to be CPU usage, which works fine on 4.11. From what we've read we should not be seeing these performance problems with 6.2. So what are we missing? We assume its something stupid that will fix this problem quickly and easily, but so far, despite all the resources, we have been unable to find a problem with enough in common with our own to suggest possible solutions.

I think the patch here is what you want: http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/doc/ikernel/ikernel.ps You will need postscript to print it out. you might look here too: http://www.sunmanagers.org/archives/1996/0771.html Under SunOS, I typically apply the multicast patches (available from ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/net-research/ipmulti/), as well as support for the Berkeley Packet Filter (ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/bpf.tar.Z). I'm alsocareful to turn on UDP checksums5, increase the size of tcpsendspace and tcprecvspace, and increase theTCP MSS (Maximum Segment Size) from the lame default of 512 to 14606. To accomplish this, I addthese lines to my config file7:# Various parameters in in_proto.c:options TCPSENDSPACE=\(1024*64\) # We liv e in a world of high bw*delay,options TCPRECVSPACE=\(1024*64\) # so lets try and deal.options TCPDEFAULTMSS=1460 # Tcp max. segment size.options UDPCKSUM=-1# Udp checksumsAnd then apply the following patch to /sys/netinet/in_proto.c:*** in_proto.c1996/02/21 04:33:251.2--- in_proto.c1996/02/21 05:01:391.35It used to be thought that UDP checksums weren't very important because packets wouldn't get corruptedvery often and they were expensive to compute. At this point computation isn't very expensive at all, and nothaving UDP checksums turned on can lead to corrupted data in surprising places, like the Domain Name Sys-tem (DNS).

immediately unlinks it, but the file is world-readable for a short
time.
Doesn't it (ksh93, etc) pay attention to umask?
If it does, the script should use that feature.
It does honor umask, but I think temp files should be created mode 0600
in all cases. A person may have a umask of 022 to allow normal files
to be read by group members but still not want them to see
here-document contents. They may not even realize that their shell is
using tempfiles. Some shells use pipes (bash and ash do; zsh uses an
0600 tempfile that it immediately unlinks; Solaris sh uses an 0600
tempfile).
Both ksh variants honor the TMPDIR variable, though, so if you create a
~/tmp directory, chmod it so only you can access it, then set
TMPDIR=~/tmp , you will be secure even if you're using ksh93.

I think if someone has gone to the trouble of creating a private ~/tmp

Diagnosing fan problem
I have a ThinkPad T41p that has had a variety of fan problems for some time. After my most recent repair things seemed to be working fine, but the other day I was compiling some ports and the machine just shut down in the middle; after some experimentation it seemed clear that it was just overheating under load and shutting itself off. (Looking at the temperature sysctl showed that it was getting increasingly hot until it crashed.) How can I monitor what is happening? Are there any ways I can find out from FreeBSD if the fan is even on, or how it thinks it is working? systcl -a | grep fan didn't return anything. Can I control the fan? I don't want to make yet another warranty call if they're gonna say, It's working fine, it's your OS or something. Thanks.

I bet if you check the permissions you'll find the file has mode
0600, which means only the user running the script can read the
file (at least that's what a test using the pdksh port does on my
system). ksh93 does have a problem, though: it opens a file and
immediately unlinks it, but the file is world-readable for a short
time.
Doesn't it (ksh93, etc) pay attention to umask?
If it does, the script should use that feature.
It does honor umask, but I think temp files should be created mode 0600
in all cases. A person may have a umask of 022 to allow normal files
to be read by group members but still not want them to see
here-document contents. They may not even realize that their shell is
using tempfiles. Some shells use pipes (bash and ash do; zsh uses an
0600 tempfile that it immediately unlinks; Solaris sh uses an 0600
tempfile).
Both ksh variants honor the TMPDIR variable, though, so if you create
a
~/tmp directory, chmod it so only you can access it, then set
TMPDIR=~/tmp , you will be secure even if you're using ksh93.
relatively (it's not a given that people haven't opened up ~/tmp)
I think if someone has gone to the trouble of creating a private ~/tmp
directory, they probably know what they're doing and know the
consequences of opening it up.
I appreciate all your response.
Thanks a lot for insight on unix fundementals
The issue I had is solved by doing umask 077 at the start of the script,
so what it did was it created the temporary files with read+write for
owner of the file , and in my process I also create directories while RMAN
backup is being run, so that umask 077 for directory gave rwx for
directories while creation
This problem I had is solved now, it is secure
Thanks

Re: Apache Rotate Logs and Log Rotate.
I have Apache making separate log files for each of my virtual hosts and putting them in /home/vhostname/log. Rotate logs makes a new log every 24 hours, but the logs quickly add up and since the sites are fairly busy the logs are at times over 5gigs. Is there any way to make rotate logs delete the log files after two days? Someone recommended me Log Rotate (from the ports tree), but this program does basically what Rotate logs does; except it makes things more complicated because it needs to restart apache and such. Is there a easy way to just have Apache's rotatelogs rotate the logs and then delete them after two days? Any feedback, suggestions, or comments would be greatly appreciated. Hi Peter, I personaly don't use neither Log Rotate nor Rotate Logs, but configure newsyslog.conf(5) to handle the job of Apache log rotation and clean-up. The newsyslog software is part of FreeBSD's base system, so you don't need to install anything. Just configure /etc/newsyslog.conf and that's it. No need to restart anything because newsyslog is already active in FreeBSD's base system via /etc/crontab. It can rotate the logs, compress them with either gzip(1) or bzip2(1) and remove the old ones to preserve disk space. For example, let's say you have two virtual host's logs into /home/vhostname1/log and /home/vhostname2/log, you can configure newsyslog to: a) Keep only 10 log files. Remove the older ones as they grow. (i.e. 10 in the config below) b) Create files with chmod 640 and owner root:www (i.e. root:www and 640) c) Rotate the files when they reach 1Mb in size. (i.e. 1048576) d) Compress the files with gzip(1) to preserve compatibility with webalizer. (i.e. Z) # logfilename [owner:group]mode count size when flags [/pid_file] [sig_num] # Host vhostname1. # /home/vhostname1/log/access.log root:www640 10 1048576 * Z /var/run/httpd.pid /home/vhostname1/log/error.log root:www640 10 1048576 * Z /var/run/httpd.pid # Host vhostname2. # /home/vhostname2/log/access.log root:www640 10 1048576 * Z /var/run/httpd.pid /home/vhostname2/log/error.log root:www640 10 1048576 * Z /var/run/httpd.pid Check the man pages for newsyslog(8) and newsyslog.conf(8) for more information.

Re: Ksh Shell script security question.
I am am puzzled how to secure this code when this shell script is
being executed.
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s EOF | tee -a ${RESTOREFILE}
connect system/ugo8990d
set heading off
set feedback off
set pagesize 500
select 'SCN_TO_USE | '||max(next_change#) from V\$LOG_HISTORY;
quit
EOF
When I run this code from shell script in /tmp directory it spews
file called /tmp/sh03400.000 in that I have this entire code visible.
Hi Dak,
The reason you can see the code in ${RESTOREFILE} is because of the
tee command. With `tee -a` you're actually asking to have the code
installed in ${RESTOREFILE}.
Now, one way to secure this is to set a restrictive umask at the start
of the script. For example, setting `umask 0077` will cause your
script to generate files which will only be read/write for the user
who runs the script. But the files will still have you username/passwd
in them.
To remove the username/passwd from the files, may I suggest you change
your code to include the username/passwd into the sqlplus command.
Like this for example:
export ORACLE_SID=your_oracle_sid
sqlplus ${USERNAME}/${PASSWORD} -s -EOF | tee -a ${RESTOREFILE}.
set heading off
set feedback off
set pagesize 500
select 'SCN_TO_USE | '||max(next_change#) from V\$LOG_HISTORY;
quit
EOF
This will still generate a file, but the username/password won't be
there. Of course, that means you need to hide your credentials in an
encrypted file eslwhere on your machine.
You can then setup code that will check the md5 sum of the password
file and use something like OpenSSL or GPG to encrypt/decrypt the
file.
Have fun,
David

Re: serious performance problems with 6.2 Release
Steven H. Baeighkley [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Greetings, We are having some bizarre performance problems on a freshly installed 6.2 Release server. This is a supermicro superserver 6022c dual 2.0 Xeon with 2GB RAM. These CPUs do support hyperthreading. We have done significant testing with both hyperthreading turned on and off in the bios and in the OS, to no avail. The server is configured as a web server with apache 2.2.4 php 5.2.0 and ZendOptimizer. We are running proftpd 1.3.1rc1 and perl 5.8.8. We have another server running 4.11 with the same exact hardware and software versions. We have updated to the newest bios that Supermicro provides. The trouble is that the 6.2 box performs significantly worse than the 4.11 server. The load on the 6.2 server is regularly between 2.0 and 6.0. The load on the 4.11 server is between .57 and 1 despite often servicing more connections. We began this process to upgrade into the 6 tree because 4 is EOL. We kept the old 4.11 drive from this machine and when replacing it into the box performance is excellent just like our other 4.11 box. We have tired multiple tuning variables as recommended by both FreeBSD and apache and tried the recommendations in the 6.2 errata as well. The 6.2 errata states that kern.ipc.nmbclusters=0 will help the kernel memory allocator properly deal with high network traffic. We tried this and initially thought that the box was showing wonderful performance, but then we realized that the box was not allowing much network access at all. A single ssh and proftpd connection were all it would accept. Apache wouldn't even start giving a MaxClients error. Removing this option returned it to functional though poor performance mode. Are we missing something with how to use this variable? IS this expected behavior? This particular hardware does display some oddities on both machines, running either 6.2 or 4.11. We know that FreeBSD has hyperthreading turned off by default. We have done some additional testing with hyperthreading turned on in the OS, but we wish for it to remain off due to security concerns. If we disable hyperthreading in the bios and have it disabled in the OS then FreeBSD sees one physical and one logical processor (from dmesg) and only uses processor 0. If we enable hyperthreading in the bios and leave it disabled in the OS it will show 4 CPUs but only use 0 and 2. Top will show that there is 50% idle CPU despite the fact that the box is 100% loaded, CPU 1 and 3 are idle. We would expect that FreeBSD would not see logical processors when hyperthreading was disabled in either the BIOS or the OS. This may just be a communication problem between the BIOS and FreeBSD, but we don't see this behavior on other supermicro servers with hyperthreading. VMSTAT, NETSTAT, NFSSTAT and FSTAT show similar numbers between both servers, certainly nothing that would explain why a single httpd process requires 20% of a CPU on the 6.2 box and only 5-7% on the 4.11, but we could easily be missing something. We suspected NFS or disk bottlenecks, but ran IOZONE tests and found that the 6.2 box is actually having better performance on nfs and disk access. We are running a slightly customized SMP kernel with device polling enabled. The only bottleneck apears to be CPU usage, which works fine on 4.11. From what we've read we should not be seeing these performance problems with 6.2. So what are we missing? We assume its something stupid that will fix this problem quickly and easily, but so far, despite all the resources, we have been unable to find a problem with enough in common with our own to suggest possible solutions. Wow. Let me step back for a moment to appreciate how good this post is; wonderful stuff to work with in trying to help... The first thing I would check would be whether the httpd software on both installations is the same. I know that I have had trouble remembering to migrate port configurations on system upgrades, so maybe other people have the problem too. Have you checked system processes? The '-S' option is the way to get top(1) to show them to you. That often gives a hint when resources are vanishing. What happens if you disable polling? And what kind of network interface are you using on the problematic machine? One thing that occurs to me is that a lack of DMA on the HTTP packets (to and/or from the NIC) could produce symptoms like this. I hope that something here is helpful for you.

Re: Diagnosing fan problem
Jesse Sheidlower wrote: I have a ThinkPad T41p that has had a variety of fan problems for some time. After my most recent repair things seemed to be working fine, but the other day I was compiling some ports and the machine just shut down in the middle; after some experimentation it seemed clear that it was just overheating under load and shutting itself off. (Looking at the temperature sysctl showed that it was getting increasingly hot until it crashed.) How can I monitor what is happening? Are there any ways I can find out from FreeBSD if the fan is even on, or how it thinks it is working? systcl -a | grep fan didn't return anything. There are quite a few programs that can tell you CPU temperature and fan speed, like mbmon and conky, both in /usr/ports/sysutils. You could compare these parameters against data for the fan and cooler in order to ascertain whether anything is wrong with the fan. Can I control the fan? I don't know. In any case, I would not try to control fan speed if the problem is that the fan is insufficient or out of order. -- Tore ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Set up NAT as you otherwise would using the real interface and IP as the external network. There are several different methods for doing this, most of which are discussed and mentioned in the handbook. I use ipfw+natd since that's what I'm most familiar with, but pf may be a better option if you're just getting started. Since your internal network doesn't have (or need) a real network interface, use the loopback interface (lo0). Create an alias in the 127.0.0.0/8 network for each jail. You should of course reserve 127.0.0.1 as the real localhost address. Set up the jails as you normally would, using the 127.x.x.x IP's you allocated above. See the jail(8) manpage to get started. There are other howtos and guides out there that might give more background and examples, but the manpage has always been adequate fo my (modest) needs. You might also want to look at the sysutils/ezjail port. See also http://erdgeist.org/arts/software/ezjail/ . Decide how you are going to allocate ports and/or proxy/share commonly used ports. For http and https (80 and 443), consider running Apache with mod_proxy and virtualhosts. Should get you started at least...

I also experience periodic freezes. One pattern I am able to see is that whenever there is a freeze and I cannot log to the box for a period, /var/log/messages says: Feb 14 00:06:35 192 kernel: dc0: watchdog timeout Feb 14 03:14:59 192 kernel: dc0: watchdog timeout Freezes are always connected with watchdog timeout.

If you are on a ISP that has some performance problems (mine seems that way), that could be it. Also, check your other network equipment; if you have any way, for example, to test with a different switch/hub/router, and to try different settings for the adapter (duplex/half, etc.), it might be worth a try. Or, you could always change your ethernet card (unless we're talking about laptops here).

I'm unsure if it's down to faulty memory because the machine is very new and I don't get core dumps when compiling or running any other software. Also, in my experience hardware faults have caused compiles to behave erraticlly, ie: bombing out at random stages in the build process - this core dump always occurs at exactly the same point (compilation of the curses module). I am experiencing the same problem (also running 6.2-RELEASE), so your hardware is not the cause. I'm afraid I don't have any helpful ideas, though.

lpr on KDE
When trying to print from KDE applications, I get the following error: /usr/local/bin/lpr: Connection refused This is on a new install of 6.2-RELEASE. KDE was installed from a package during install. Printing works fine from the commandline as root and user. Googling around, one suggested fix was to recompile /usr/ports/x11/kdelibs3 with WITHOUT_CUPS. I ran make -DWITHOUT_CUPS install and that went quite well. I rebooted the machine just to make sure everything restarted. Still no joy trying to print with KDE. Any suggestions as to the next step?

Would making some sort of link between /usr/local.bin.lpr and /usr/bin/lpr work? My guess is that you're getting the CUPS-version of `lpr', but you're still running the standard daemon for FreeBSD's `lpr'. The simple test would be to: mv /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/local/bin/lpr-cups and then try printing from kde. If that solves your problem, then move that binary back to /usr/local/bin/lpr, find out which of the CUPS-related ports you have installed, and pkg_deinstall them. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've tried adding a few sound [snd_*.ko] files, but no sound. The OSS dialogs open, but the tests produce no sound.. Would the sound card show up in dmesg if there were a sound card hiding? Any help out there? This old box is an HP Kayak XU/XW. I solved most of my sound problems by taking actions reading http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html regards Dak Hm. I forgot about adding the hints.*; but catenating /dev/sndstat indicates that I use snd_sb16.ko and compiling that in gives me a bunch of fatal undefines. So I added snd_sbc to the KERNCONF and am recompiling. Shouldn't be this hard; this worked with REdhat, just straightaway. gary What model's the card (or what does pciconf -lv report at least)? This is strange. A couple hours ago I kldloaded a few modules and saw that the card was my missing AWE64. Now, when I load snd_sb16, it looks like an ISA SB 16. It could be either. Note that if I load just snd_sb.ko, cat'ing /dev/sndstat returns zip. Still trying...

I did a full-bore update of 6.2 and didn't see anything new (timestamp-wise) in the sound/ directories... . I'll rebuild and reinstall. Anyway: experimentation has taught me that the snd_ad1816.ko at least drives the BEL speaker. So, while I hear the log[in|out] fuzzily, the other WAV sounds are clear. Another thing: with snd_driver.ko installed (by /boot/loader.conf) I have *no* sound; with just the keydb driver at YES the internal speaker works. And the tiny red [x] is not displayed.) With snd_sb16.ko or snd_sbc.ko I get some results by catenating /dev/sndstat. But zero sound. cat foo /dev/dsp is not permitted as a test.
