RE: Using int 13 while BSD is running
The goal here is simply this: To be able to write to a systems hard drive with just bios support. I dont' want to have to deal with bundling every known ide/scsi/raid adapter driver in a bsd kernel. Here's something that I found though that may be exactly what I have been looking for: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lrmi/ I'll be doing some tests with this to see how it works out.

To Jason: take care not to *write* anything to the disk via int 13h. I still don't think I understand why you are using FreeBSD for this specific purpose. Why if you just spend time escaping from the OS? We actually _like_ protected mode, it allows us to be more flexible and our code doesn't have to be bastardized with 16 dos compilers ;).

Make sense? Just because you can boot from the disk does not mean that the BIOS can read the whole disk. As an example I have an old computer running FreeBSD with a 1GB disk. The BIOS in this computer cannot handle disks larger than 512MB (which was a quite common limitation in older BIOSs). I can however boot from this disk since all the files needed for booting reside below the 512MB mark. Once I have booted FreeBSD I can access the whole disk precisely because FreeBSD does *not* use the BIOS, but use its own routines. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Using int 13 while BSD is running
Hello, I'm investigating what resources are out there for accessing bios addressable devices while BSD is up and running. The situation is this, currently we licenses Caldera DOS for a program we wrote which uses the int13 extensions to manipulate the systems hard drive (i.e. to recover partition tables and what not). This forces our application to be written in 16 bit mode, but it does allows us to not have to worry about loading any driver which would be hardware specific to access the hard drive. Is there any way to write a driver for BSD which would put the processor into real mode, therefore allowing us to use the int 13 api of the bios to read and write hard drives? That way we could package a stripped down BSD kernel which loaded our driver and gave our application access to hard disks without having to load any device driver.

How to view kmail stored email from console
Hi All, I have FreeBSD 5.1 with KDE 3 running kmail. Kmail pulls from the local mailbox into its mail archive. I'd like to figure out a way to reading kmail email from the console. Is that possible?

Help with NV driver
Hi, I'm having difficulty getting the nv driver to work properly on my FreeBSD 5.1 box. Recently, the nvidia driver started causing my kernel to crash consistently, so I decided to move to the non-glx enabled NV driver. Whenever that driver starts using the SAME config as the one used for the nvidia driver, the screen goes blank with unsupported resolution but you can hear the gui initializing in the background. I'm using the DVI port on the Geforce (it has dual DVI), and I know for a fact that the horizontal and vertical refresh rates are to the spec (74.9, 59.9 respectively). -Jason This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Recently, the nvidia driver started causing my kernel to crash consistently, so I decided to move to the non-glx enabled NV driver. Whenever that driver starts using the SAME config as the one used for the nvidia driver, the screen goes blank with unsupported resolution but you can hear the gui initializing in the background. I'm using the DVI port on the Geforce (it has dual DVI), and I know for a fact that the horizontal and vertical refresh rates are to the spec (74.9, 59.9 respectively). -Jason This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Best place to start a misc program at bootup
Hello again, So there's /etc/rc, and etc/rc.local, and then there's the fancy rc.conf scripts which stat programs. /etc/rc and /etc/rc.local don't appear to be designated places for starting up misc. programs, so where do we put these misc programs which we want to run at startup?

Weird usb keyboard problem
Hi All, I have a logitech wireless keyboard, plugged into the onboard usb on my Tyan dual pIII motherboard running a Via chipset. Whenever I use the keyboard and type at a normal rate, it seems like the usb driver or whatever detects more ekeys then I've pressed. Here is san example of fwhat thappens when nI tytpe at ta normal r ate on nmy u sb k eybobard with hFreeBSD 5.1. How can I debug this?? When I use a PS/2 keyboard, the problem does not occur. Needless to say it is very annoying to type slowly constantly. Any help would be appreciated!! -Jason ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dhcpd output to root console
Hi Guys, Whenever I boot up, dhcpd always splurges out stuff to roots console screen and /var/log/messages. Is there anyway I can disable it from spewing messages to the console and to only spew out messages to /var/log/message? -Jason ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

apache 1.3.27 with mod_php4 crashes
Hi All,
I recently re-compiled mod_php4 with the following options:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-zlib
LIB_DEPENDS+= mcrypt.8:${PORTSDIR}/security/libmcrypt
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-mcrypt=${LOCALBASE}
LIB_DEPENDS+= c-client4.8:${PORTSDIR}/mail/cclient
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-imap=${LOCALBASE}
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-imap-ssl=${LOCALBASE}
LIB_DEPENDS+= mysqlclient.10:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql323-client
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-mysql=${LOCALBASE}
LIB_DEPENDS+= ldap.2:${PORTSDIR}/net/openldap20
LIB_DEPENDS+= lber.2:${PORTSDIR}/net/openldap20
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-ldap=${LOCALBASE}
USE_OPENSSL=yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-openssl=${OPENSSLBASE}
LIB_DEPENDS+= expat.4:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/expat2
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-expat-dir=${LOCALBASE}
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-xmlrpc
LIB_DEPENDS+= xml2.5:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/libxml2
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-dom=${LOCALBASE}
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-ftp
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-curl=${LOCALBASE}
BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${LOCALBASE}/lib/libcurl.a:${PORTSDIR}/ftp/curl
LIB_DEPENDS+= intl.4:${PORTSDIR}/devel/gettext
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-gettext=${LOCALBASE}
LIB_DEPENDS+= iconv.3:${PORTSDIR}/converters/libiconv
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-iconv=${LOCALBASE}
And now if I have the mod_php4 module listed in the httpd.conf file, apache
will crash out and dump the core:
Oct 11 22:21:17 ahab kernel: pid 2428 (httpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
(core dumped)
I tried starting httpd with GDB in the hops that I could look at the call
stack and somehow make a guess as to why it is crashing, but gdb doesn't
appear to be catching the signal:
(gdb) handle 11
SignalStop Print Pass to program Description
SIGSEGV Yes Yes Yes Segmentation fault
Yet it appears to be handling it. Here's what happens when I do a run through
gdb:
(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/local/sbin/httpd

Says the program exited normally??
Ideas?
