5.3-p2 freezes after kldloading snd_neomagic

Hello, I am running FreeBSD 5.3-p2 on a Dell Latitude LS notebook. (See KERNCONF and dmesg at the end.) Nearly everything is working fine, except for the sound chip. I built the sound stuff as modules (sound/pcm + sound/driver/neomagic). When I try to insert the module, I get # kldload

snd_neomagic kldloads, then 5.2.1-p11 freezes

Hello, I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1-p11 on a Dell Latitude LS notebook. (See KERNCONF and dmesg at the end.) Nearly everything is working fine, except for the sound chip. I built the sound stuff as modules (sound/pcm + sound/driver/neomagic, resulting in snd_pcm + snd_neomagic). When I try to

ipf or ipfw?

Hello, I am deciding whether to use ipf or ipfw. I have had a brief look at them and I like them both. I am quite a newbie in this. Is any one of them particularly better for the following situation? One standalone server, hosted by an ISP; only want to protect myself (explicitly allow the

Re: ufs problem (mounting ufs under linux-2.6.0-test11)

Hello, I don't seem to be able to mount the FreeBSD-5.1-RELEASE's ufs partition in linux-2.6.0-test11, which occupies another partition on the same machine (which is Acer Aspire 1304XC). Has the ufs format changed in 5.1? I specify ufstype=44bsd in the mount command. Thank you

stop_cmd=: in pccard

Hello, sorry for reposting, but I could only google my original messages, and did not find the possibly simple answer anywhere. Why does /et/rc.d/pccard say stop_cmd=:? This does, of course, not 'stop' pccardd. Is there some deeper ... you know ... sense ...? Thanks

5.1-RELEASE on a machine with 24MB RAM

Hi list, I am running 5.1-RELEASE on a outdated machine - it's a Compaq Deskpro 2000, manufactured ~1995, with Pentium/100 and 24MB RAM. I made a 64MB swap partition. I wonder if there are any particular options (systcl vm.* ?) that I should be intersted in to get the best out of the machine. I

Why stop_cmd=: in /etc/rc.d/pccard ?

Hi all, why does /etc/rc.d/pccard say stop_cmd=: in CURRENT? This obviously does not 'stop' pccardd. As a consequence, '/etc/rc.d/pccard restart' gives you two pccardd's running. Thanks Jan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

default boot vs. safe mode

Hello, I wonder what exactly is the difference between booting the 'default mode' and 'safe mode' from the initial booting menu in -CURRENT. Because, with 'default' it _always_ hangs for me, but with 'safe' I _never_ had a problem. Is it just setting some kernel variables (like
