Help: downloading a file causes kernel panic w/ 7.0-R and rum
Can somebody please help me with the following:
I'm connecting to the Internet using a (Cisco) Linksys WUSB54GC wireless USB
adapter with FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE and its rum driver.
The device gets recognized, wpa_supplicant can associate to the WLAN, DHCP
obtains an IP address, all works fine. I can browse the Web with Lynx no
problems. But when I try to download a larger file (e.g. fetch a port or
package...), sooner or later (and usually sooner rather than later) a page
fault occurs and the kernel panics.
I've examined several crash dumps and they all mention the same instruction
pointer (for the standard GENERIC kernel that comes with 7.0-RELEASE):
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
fault virtual address = 0x12
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x20:0xc06b9e7a
stack pointer = 0x28:0xe58f2be4
frame pointer = 0x28:0xe58f2bfc
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 = 23 (irq23: uhci0 ehci0)
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
cpuid = 0
Uptime: 1m9s
Physical memory: 2033 MB

#0 doadump () at pcpu.h:195
195 pcpu.h: No such file or directory.
in pcpu.h
This can be traced back to somewhere within the rum driver:
(kgdb) list *0xc06b9e7a
0xc06b9e7a is in rum_txeof (/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_rum.c:842).

Re: install/upgrade question
Tsu-Fan Cheng wrote: Can I only change/overwrite the /etc /usr, etc but leave /home intact?? Depends. If your /home is a seperate partition AND you don't need to repartition (relabel) the disk, you should be ok. In disklabel, you'll find a newfs toggle. If you set this to N for a certain partition, that partition will not be reformatted and all data on it should be preserved if nothing strange happens. I've done this several times without problems, for example to preserve /home and/or my CVS repository between installs. I always kept backups though, in case something goes wrong during the install and the partition gets screwed up after all, which is unlikely but NOT impossible! If your /home is merely a directory on a larger partition (for example because it's symlinked to /usr/home or something), or if you need to repartition/relabel the disk, it gets tricky and you'll probably be better off restoring from a backup.

VPN - Which way to go?
Howdy people, I need to setup a VPN connection to the university's network. Now, there's a chapter in the handbook about VPN over IPsec and there seems to be this thing called OpenVPN in the ports collection. Which is the better way to go? All I need is to obtain an IP address within the university's IP range (because otherwise I can't use their outgoing STMP), that's all. So as simple a solution as possible would be preferred.

[Wireless] Can't connect to wlan
Howdy, I've been trying to connect my laptop, running 7.0-RC3, to my wireless network but It Isn't Working. Wpa_supplicant can find the network ok and ifconfig shows the correct SSID, authentication mode, protocol, BSSID etc. However, it also says no carrier. So needless to say DHCP cries no link and fails. Any idea what the problem could be here? If you need more information, let me know and I'll cook up a more elaborate message, but I thought I'd keep it short at first, so as not to swamp the list with lots of output right away.

Re: How to backup the users
Ivan Rambius Ivanov wrote: I was only unsure how to proceed with the users backup. If users are the only thing you wish to back up: /home /etc/group /etc/master.passwd You can backup system files (/etc, /usr/local/etc, /var) if you want but that's another topic. Some hints: 1. Check if there are users who have their home-dir outside /home... 2. Check /tmp to see if users have files there (they shouldn't count on those being preserved, that's not what /tmp is for, but you might want to offer a little bit of extra service by doing this anyway) 3. There might be slight differences between the current /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd and the ones on the new system. So, instead of blindly copying the old ones onto the new system, I suggest you add the relevant entries in the old files to the new files by hand (or script). 4. If you copy the encrypted passwords, then users don't need to set a new password after you've reinstalled the system. 5. Keep track of UIDs/GIDs: you might need to do some chowning to give everybody their files back if their (numerical) UIDs/GIDs have changed. 6. If you don't need to repartition your disks, it might be an option to just leave /home alone during the reinstall (set the newfs flag to N). That leaves /home untouched and you can just mount it afterwards.

[FreeBSD] 6.3-R diskhandling
Hi, I have a recent model Toshiba laptop here, dual-booting Windows Vista and Slackware Linux (not my call, so no flames please). When I got the go-ahead to replace Linux with FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE, the following happened: The partitioner complained that the found geometry 232581/16/63 is invalid and it's using a more likely geometry instead. Closer inspection reveals that this more likely geom (14593/255/63) is actually the real geometry, so question 1 is: where did FreeBSD get this other weird-ass geometry from? When installing the boot manager, it hosed Windows' bootability. I could mount and access the Windows partition from within FreeBSD just fine so the partition itself seemed to be okay, but it just wouldn't boot. When I selected it in the bootmanager menu, it showed a screen saying Windows can't boot and I should use the recovery disk to repair Windows. Since everything on the machine that was even remotely important had just been backed up and Windows was due for a reinstall anyway, I just reinstalled it and no harm was done, but I still wonder what happened. How come FreeBSD's boot manager stopped Windows from booting? The reinstall of Windows wiped away everything else, so I can retry installing FreeBSD. But given the troubles described above, what's the best way to do it? Currently, I'm considering the following: 1. Boot this Live Linux CD I have lying around here and which finds the correct geometry for the disk right away. 2. Make a backup of the MBR. 3. Create a partition (slice) for FreeBSD. 4. Boot the FreeBSD install disk and run through sysinstall (partitioning the slice Linux just created) but don't let it install a boot loader. 5. Boot the Live Linux again and install LILO from there. But if you have any other suggestions I'm all ears of course. Oh, and a final question: the Windows installer creates a partition table in which partitions (slices) don't end on cylinder/track boundaries. Is this a big deal? Linux notices it but doesn't seem bothered much by it and FreeBSD appears to act likewise. But I thought I'd better ask, just to be sure.
