Buildworld to releng7 fails
Last night I started a buildworld to upgrade on one of my FreeBSD
systems with the latest sources (RELENG_7), unfortunately buildworld
crashes. What is going wrong ?

Sounds like somewhere you got a }; on the wrong line.
named-checkconf is your friend for checking the config file.
named-checkzone for your zone files.

I got this in named.conf:

You need to list your secondary nameserver here as well, by name not IP,
to match the nameservers listed at your NIC. Make sure it's refreshing
the zone whenever you update it, given up to 3+ hours (10800s) to do so.
Don't forget to increment the Serial whenever you make any changes to
your zone. You may also want to reduce your TTL down to say 3600 until
it's all working fine and things have propogated out to the world.
And each zone should have:
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
; MX Records
IN MX 10 mx.unhost.com.ar.
IN A 190.2.50.197
You'll want to make sure the reverse zone file has mx.unhost.com.ar. for
190.2.50.197 too, whether you or you service provider controls that.

Hi Svein Halvor, I can't reproduce the behaviour you described (I'd agree that's not font problem: the fact that you need two deletes to remove æøå really looks like a Unicode handling problem). Four ideas: 1. try mail/linux-opera (it's exactly the same version) and see if the same wrong behaviour occurs in it as well 2. try to change locale (mine is en_US.UTF-8) 3. try a fresh start by removing ~/.opera 4.

CDROM Boot Hangs But Only Under 6.x
I am building a new server out of both older and brand new components. It is based on a Pentium D 925 and ABIT LG-95Z mobo. The DVD-RW is a Lite-On about a year old with very low hours on it. So ... here's a fun one: I can boot and install FreeBSD 4.x (CD) or Novell SUSE Enterprise Linux Desktop 10 SP1 (DVD) via the DVD. But attempting to do this with 6.x (I have tried 6.2R and 6.3-PRE disk #1) causes a hang during boot. The loader gets as far as showing the vertical bar that ordinarily spins to show intitial kernel loading progress and the the machine just sits there. There is some further activity on the optical drive at this point and then the cursor sort of jumps around a bit. I've not yet tried swapping the optical drive out - though I doubt this is the problem since I can load the other OSs. I've tried removing and moving memory sticks in case this is a flakey memory problem - no change. I've tried removing the only two cards in the machine: 3COM 905C-TX and an Adaptec 2940UW - no change. I have one last ditch thing I will try later tonight which is to force the DVD IDE port into PIO mode and out of DMA mode. But that's it. I am stumped. Ideas anyone?

The boot was changed from 4.x to the later series. I think it was changed from floppy emulation boot to cd boot or some such nonsense. You can get more info by reading up in the handbook where it talks about how to create a distribution CD. One of the options on the cdburn controls this. If your MB is new it should work. Older MB's have problems with the new way to boot off an optical cd. You can try BIOS/CMOS updates from the motherbard mfg if they are available.

I wonder if this is one of those situations where there are not enough IRQs to go around. If it's a new MB the PCI cards are probably too old/slow to work right. Another thing to check is if the MB has any overclock settings turned on, these will screw up booting, going into BIOS, and some PCI cards. Go to BIOS and select reset to factory settings which turns off all the go-fast stuff. And make sure you confirm the CPU speed in BIOS with the actual speed stamped on the CPU. Sometimes you just got to stick a floppy disk drive on the thing and boot from the 4 boot floppies then do an FTP install.

In the case of your servers, do you see the same symptoms I am seeing: The kernel loading progress prompt gets painted (most of the time, sometimes it does not even make it that far) and the booting seizes up?
