BTX loader halt on 1st boot
Hello I am able to install freebsd 7.0 with the CD, but never been able to reboot into it after that. I've tried 5 times since june now. I install a standard MBR during install since I already have ububtu grub as boot manager. I get a BTX halt with what looks like cpu register output dumped on screen. Since I cannot boot, I am unable to collect any dmesg output or any debug info from freebsd, therefore the bug report is not entertained. Will linux lspci/dmesg output help as a substitute for the bug report? This is for an AMD780G/SB700 chipset with sata in ahci mode.

Re: AMD SB700 southbridge sata ahci supported?
Thanks for responding. My problem is different.I think it is in boot stage 2 possibly a problem with the loader. Hence my problem does not resemble yours. I am able to run the install disk just fine nd complete installation. Its the installed Os that I cannot boot.

ralink 2561 wireless chip on 6.2 devel
I upgraded from 6.2 production to 6.2-RELEASE #1 in order to
get the ral driver support for my D-Link Rec C G510 wireless
card.
This is the string from pciconf

and I verified that the if_ral_pci.c source file has the string
{ 0x1814, 0x0302, Ralink Technology RT2561 },
in it.
Yet loading ral using kldload does not show me any interface in

I am able to ping this interface from a remote laptop when booted

What more do I need to get this interface working?

windows behaviour on installing new packages
Hi I noticed over the past few weeks, that after installing numerous packages (pkg_add -r), I could not execute them (not found). They were standard packages installed in the standard locations like /usr/local/bin or sbin (already in $PATH). Running ldconfig, logging out and logging back in did not help either. *Rebooting* helps however. What gives?Are the package install scripts missing some install command ? System is 6.2 production release. Mine is a home desktop, but in the context of a server this is completely unacceptable.

You can get it to rehash by running the aptly named `rehash` command, or starting a new shell. ldconfig has nothing to do with locating executables. Sorry, I missed the part about logging out and back in before. In that case, this is a strange issue. Have you varified that the executables exist and are executable when you try them? Are you sure that you've typed them correctly? Have you tried entering the entire paths of the executables? Are any of the executables scripts with initial shebang (#!) lines, and, if so, do the targets of the lines exist? -- Rgrds GobbledeGeek [Everything but Gobbledegook.. !!] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Xorg/Gnome/KDE freeze on latest release
Hello All I've been seeing system freezes on freebsd 6.2 Release and also the older RC2. Absolutely No errors reported in logs. Suddenly the mouse cursor movement is reduced to a crawl, and the keyboard freezes. Mouse-clicks do not launch any applications or switch tasks. I cannot switch back to vty1/2/3... or any console and had to resort to cold-starting a dozen times to recover from the hangs in the last few days, dirtying my filesystem in the process each time.. sometimes had to reinstall corrupted kde/xorg packages I'm writing this mail from windows, so I do not have the uname and Xorg logs with version numbers, but from memory its freebsd 6.2 release#3 i386 machine. Xorg release 6.9. KDE version 3.5.4 . In case my version number recall is mistaken - Gnome/KDE are the versions obtained remotely on the 15th of Jan. I did cvsup and buildworld steps today 17th of Jan. The problem has remained since RC2. I did not have X during RC1, so I don't know if it was present in that release. This is on an athlon64 cpu soc 754 with nforce3 250gb chipset with Radeon 7500. DRI is loading correctly on startup. No hangs on windoz, so its not a hardware issue. Unless its got to do with freebsd drivers for usb wireless (iBall) keyb/mouse. But the system never hangs if I don't load X/Gnome/KDE. Sound/Artsd seems to work fine.

console vesa mode switch needed earlier in boot phase
Hiello Currently the allscreens flags from /etc/rc.conf is set at the very last during bootup - much after most kernel boot messages are logged to screen. Is there a way to make the switch to 1024x768 console much earlier in the boot process? For example if I boot into single user mode, I get the regular console with large fonts. Is it possible to switch to vesa modes much ealier than that? Linux does it (why can't freebsd?!!) :) Does it require patching the kernel? Has anyone done this before?

Re: custom rc.d script not working
My script is in /etc/rc.d and it executes - only when I login and find
no zebra process... executing it manually starts zebra allright.
Why should I put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d ?
I think I see a 0.99.5 version in freshports.org. I'll just use that instead.

First, I presume you mean to say that you put the script
in the '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/' directory and not just /etc/rc.d
Secondly, my most frequent error is error with these is to forget
to make them executable. If the script does not have execute
permission, it is ignored.

Re: Using extended partitions.. ?
Well Well. .Surprise surprise!! Using extended logical partitions in freebsd is easier than I thought! I ran disklabel -w /dev/ad8s9 , then newfs to create a new ufs2 filesystem, and then added the new ufs partition to /etc/fstab. Likewise with my other logical partitions /dev/ad8s10, ad8s11 etc... which were linux ext3fs earlier. Now I'm richer by 30gb!! Hiyaaa! Whaddayaknow! I also read my xp ntfs logical d: drive, so now I can download in any OS and still access them from fbsd. My linux is gone of course, but who wants linux with the linux ABI on fbsd?

Using extended partitions.. ?
I've wanted to try this for a long time, but I believed its not possible, but never asked anyone so Is it possible to have multiple freebsd slices (partitions) on a single disk ? For example, I already got a fbsd slice with partitions in it, now I want to add another and use that space, after deleting a windoze partition. What about using an extended logical partition as a freebsd slice? I am quite comfortable with linus fdisk, but the fbsd one feels like the plauge to me. Is the linux port of fdisk a better choice? I run all my linux partitions from within ext-logical ones (all but root) and I want to clear them and reuse them for freebsd.

Thanks all. I have XP and linux share the xtended partition, and now I want to say bye bye linux (I need XP for worldwind s/w) . Ido not see the extended logical drives containing ext3 from sysinstall that is the problem. The cmdline freebsd fdisk feels like a throw back tp the pdp-11 days :) So I'm going to try and mount them from bsd below my home folder, without deleting them first... until I work out exactly how to use the fbsd fdiks cmdline without damaging anything. Thanks once again!

Sure. You'd be mounting filesystems from /dev/ad0s2 rather than ad0s1, for example, depending on your hard drive position in the ATA chain and which FDISK partitions you've used. For example, I already got a fbsd slice with partitions in it, now I want to add another and use that space, after deleting a windoze partition. Should be no problem. What about using an extended logical partition as a freebsd slice? IMHO, logical partitions are pure evil which was invented to work around the 4-partition FDISK limit, and are nearly useless to anything which creates its own slices or subpartitions within an FDISK partition the way BSD or Linux can. YMMV, but I would convert the extended partition into a normal one and use it directly within FreeBSD, as I do not believe you can boot from extended partitions... -- -Chuck -- Rgrds GobbledeGeek [Everything but Gobbledegook.. !!] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
