Is Kern/Pr 58045 is fixed, maybe related to usb/PR 65436?

hi,
I am running 5.4 release and the pr link,
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=58045 is giving me problems.

I had sent a message regurading this problem before to the list a few
months ago.  I was asked to provide some evidence.  Since then, I have
been trying to figure out how to save the Heavy, Bold, White text that
prints out to the screen (which I think is kernel messages).  Some have
said to use syslog, which does not get these messages for me.

anyways,  I still dont think this bug is fixed, at least not in 5.4R.
In addition, the usb/PR 65436 is still listed as being open.

I am experiencing the symptoms of both, (I think), and is it possible
that they can be related?

Reguardless, after the messages stop printing to the screen, I still
connot mount the device because no driver gets attached.

Any ideas?

brian

hi,

I am using 5.4 release and the pr link
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=58045 is giving me problems.
 Has the patch been merged into the main tree?  If so maybe this bug is
not fixed.  Is this problem in the 6.0-beta1 .iso?  is their any other
information i may be able to provide to help with the issue?

thanx

thanx for the reply Glenn, if the bug has been closed for like 2 years
now, maybe it might need to be reopened.  In addition,  the usb/PR 65436
is still listed as being open.  Both pr's seem to be related, but im not
sure.

Terminal Display Size? (Characters Wide Lines High)

2004-09-10 Thread Brian Black
Hi,
   sorry if this question is asked often on the list, i have not found 
any answers.  after install of the system the terminal displays 80 or so 
characters wide on the screen.  I now have a wide screen display,  What 
tool can be used to change the number of characters wide and the number 
of lines high the terminal will display?

The monitor is apple 23 wide screen, currently running fbsd 5.2.1
p.s.
   Is there also a way to have this new setting to be the default 
terminal display for all virtual terminals also (i.e. alt+F2 ...).

thanks
Brian

RE: usb umass flash drive mount/umount questions

2004-02-04 Thread Brian Black
Fred,
   have u tried to give the sync option when mounting.  Tho i have not 
used usb.conf  to auto mount(which is cool), my /etc/fstab line reads
/dev/da0s1   /mnt/thumb   ufs2   rw,noauto,sync   0   0

IMO, even if u use the sync option u are not guaranteed to have all the 
data written out to the thumb drive if u wish to just pull the device 
from the box.  the box cannot determine when u are going to pull the 
device.  by doing the umount the computer knows to flush all the I/O 
because the thumb drive might be pulled.

hope that helps any.

As u can see. i am unsucessfull when i plug the usb thumbdrive into the 
usb port.  then when i plug in a usb floppy drive into the same port i 
am sucessfull.  i know they are 2 different devices but i think they 
also both use the same mount command mount_msdos /dev/da0 /mnt/thumb.

when i try running this command when the thumbdrive is pluged in, i am 
getting mount_msdos: /dev/da0: invalid argument

with the thumbdrive plugged in when i run fdisk /dev/da0 i get.
*** Working on device /dev/da0 ***

i am having no troubles with the usb floppy disk.

RE: Dual Boot WinXP + FreeBSD

2003-12-28 Thread Brian Black
Hi Julio,

	i have installed freebsd along side NTFS systems for some time now and 
they do work.  you need to make sure in /stand/sysinstall that u have 
your partitions, slices etc set up correctly,(I mean set up the way 
that u think is correct).  For Example, even though the XP slice that i 
have is the 3rd slice on my box(FreeBsd 5-Current, then RH9 Then WinXp) 
the device name for my xp slice still reads /dev/ad0s1.  Though this 
dont seem right it works, i thought that it should read /dev/ad0s3.

So to try and answer your questions.

1. Can I have another dual boot on my machine with XP (NTFS) and FreeBSD?

yes u can, remember that u can mount the xp slice for READ not 
Write.  You can only read from the ntfs.  man mount for more 
information.
(for people who wish to correct me, there are some way to write to the 
ntfs, i know but as a general rule dont write to this file system type.)

2. Where can I read more about the process of instalation to keep my XP 
partition alive?

u can read more in the handbook. if u do not tamper with your xp 
partition durring /stand/systinstall then the partition will not be 
bothered. (just remember what the device name is when you are using fips).

What boot loader are u planning on using?  i have tried 
BOOTMAGIC,FREEBSDs boot loader and also i have used grub (which is 
available in the ports).  With grub i was not able to boot fbsd when my 
fbsd slice was formated with ufs2.  this might have been fixed though.

have fun.

Mouse, ACPI, Award Bios and PR 55473

2003-12-22 Thread Brian Black
Hi,
   I have had to deal with this bug sine the new 5.x series.  I have 
not been able to get a good working copp running.  I was wondering if 
anyone has a solution for this or if someone is working on the issue.  I 
had tried to fix the code myself (That didnt work).  Could this bug get 
looked at for the 5.2R?
Thanks,
Brian

PS2 Mouse Problems And ACPI?? Are They Related?

2003-10-24 Thread Brian Black
hi
  OS: 5.1R
  Mouse: Logitech optical wireless (the one with the rechargeable base 
station and like 7 buttons)
  *(This Mouse Is a usb mouse but i have a usb2ps2 connector that i have.)*
 After my install finished (gone well and returned no errors, but i did not 
set up the mouse yet).  So i am going to try to configure the ps2 mouse 
port.
  device  /dev/psm0
  port auto
  flags -z 4
After this i usually reboot the machine,(need to learn how to stop and start 
the moused from the command line ).  Now weather i set the mouse up this way 
or using /stand/sysinstall, i get the same effect.  If i move the mouse 
around in console mode i notice that it disappears while i am moving it and 
then reappears in its new position when i stop moving it.  So when i startx 
i cannot follow where my mouse is at because of the blinking problem.  This 
really [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Now i notice if i disable acpi at startup the mouse works correctly in the 
console mode, but i loose the ability to use my usb ports(figures), and when 
i try to startx with acpi disabled my mouse is stuck in the top right corner 
jumping around.

Finally I try to use the mouse in the usb port, so i configure the mouse 
such as (rc.conf)
  usb_enable=YES
  moused_port=/dev/ums0  //This Number Came From dmesg.
  moused_type=auto
  moused_enable=YES
after a reboot i can c my mouse in console mode and it moves around, but an 
error occured during init of the rc.config file that reads something like 
cant open /dev/ums0, device busy.  X will not run returns with an error 
something like no core pointer available.

So I have no mouse available in new 5.x series.  I have no idea how to fix 
this, any advice would help out thanx.

Problems with ACPI And My PS2 Mouse!!

2003-08-18 Thread Brian Black
hey,
   I recently installed 5.1R and after boot up, with acpi enabled, my 
mouse begins to work incorrectly.  when i move the mouse it disappears 
and reappears elsewhere when i stop..  Whats Wrong???  When i disable 
acpi from boot up the problems goes away??  But i cant disable this 
because i need to make use of my usb ports??  I have a Soyo KT333 dragon 
lite motherboard if that helps.  i guess from what i hear that the 
problem might be with the board( I hope not because it cost a lot of 
money ;-)) .   Could someone shed some light on this problem for me.   TIA
