Thank you in advance.

Here is my custom configuration file:

# For more information on this file, please read the handbook section on
# Kernel Configuration Files:

freebsd dies freequently

2004-11-01 Thread Jian Guang Xu
I'm experiencing frequent freeze in my FreeBSD with out any error
message. I don't know what exactly the reason is and I can only put my
current dead system information here:
The system is 5.3RC1, KDE, Firefox without flash plugin yet, Konsole
is dong make install clean at /usr/ports/www/mozilla.

This is a dual boot machine with W2K in the first 25G and FreeBSD in
the rest. The CPU is AMD Athlon 1600+ and 1024 Giga Ram, 3 sticks with
512mb+256mb+256mb. GeForce 2 with 32 MB, AC97 on board Audio device.

Most of the dying time for BSD is when I doing online surfing using
firefox without Flash plugin. Another thing need to be noticed is that
my /var is an independent partition approaching 83% at least.

It would be great that if somebody could at least point me somewhere
to go. Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards,
JX

cannot mount w2k partition

2004-10-28 Thread Jian Guang Xu
I have a dual booting system with w2k and freebsd. Under sysinstall,
the disk partition configuration follows:

Disk name:  ad0FDISK Partition Editor
DISK Geometry:  4866 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 78172290 sectors (38170MB)

Offset   Size(ST)End Name  PType   Desc  SubtypeFlags

 0 63 62- 12 unused0
63   15454467   15454529ad0s1  4 NTFS/HPFS/QNX7
  15454530   35776755   51231284ad0s2  4 extended DOS, LBA   15
  51231285   26941005   78172289ad0s3  8freebsd  165
  78172290   5502   78177791- 12 unused0


My problem is that in my second Primary Partion ad0s2 (which  is
extended partition under w2k), I have two partitions which are D:
drive as in NTFS and E: drive as in FAT32 file system.  But I can't
separate them under freeBSD:
PEARLBSD# ls /dev/ad0*
/dev/ad0/dev/ad0s2  /dev/ad0s3a /dev/ad0s3c
/dev/ad0s3e /dev/ad0s5
/dev/ad0s1  /dev/ad0s3  /dev/ad0s3b /dev/ad0s3d
/dev/ad0s3f /dev/ad0s6

There is no such a thing as /dev/ad0s2a and /dev/ad0s2b. What I want
is to mount my E: drive but i can't.
PEARLBSD# mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s2 /mnt/E
msdosfs: /dev/ad0s2: Invalid argument
PEARLBSD# mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s2 /mnt/E
ntfs: /dev/ad0s2: Invalid argument

I do can mount /dev/ad0s1 which is my C: drive:
PEARLBSD# mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/E
PEARLBSD# cd /mnt/E
PEARLBSD# ls
$AttrDefCONFIG.SYS  WUTemp
$BadClusDocuments and Settings  ZinioInstall.txt
$Bitmap Downloads   arcldr.exe
$Boot   IO.SYS  arcsetup.exe
$Extend MSDOS.SYS   boot.ini
$LogFileMy Musicbootex.log
$MFTMirrNTDETECT.COMbootfont.bin
$Secure Program Files   ntldr
$UpCase RECYCLERodbcconf.log
$Volume System Volume Information
AUTOEXEC.BATWINNT


Can somebody help me with that?

Thank you in advance.

some advice needed to considering to move my w2k machine into a freebsd workstation.

2004-10-26 Thread Jian Guang Xu
My current system follows:
AMD Athlon 1600+, 1 Gigabytes RAM, 40 Giga harddrive, GeForce 2 with
32 Mb, AC97 Onboard Audio Adaptor, D-Link DFE-538TX.

The system got follow applications:
W2K Workstation Professional runs very smooth right now.
Firefox 1.0 for most of the web surfing. IE occasionally but nessary
for some of the website I need to go to due to personally reason.
Thunderbird for me email and newsgroup reading.
VMWare to testing FreeBSD.
ACT! 2005 as a CRM software(personal organizor as well) but I'm trying
to move to a  internet application via www.freecrm.com
OpenOffice currently runs in my system with MS Office removed.
Acrobat 5.0 for form editing(Occasionally)
MusicMatch for online radio (all the time)
Realplayer for DVD/Movie(Occasionally)
I have online conference calls using MS Media Player Plugin which is
very important for me.
Zonealarm as my firewall, Norton Antirus.
I'm using a home network connected to Rogers High Speed via DHCP
protocol, another machine is a XP laptop.

My job is in Marketing field so I do need the system to be robust and
more productivity. At the same time, I have the dream to play OS
around and hack into the system at my spare time. To be honest, I'm
pretty happy with my current system with all the feature I specified.

Is there anybody could point out a way to play FreeBSD around and at
the same time, I could perform my job easily? As I said, I need the
Media Player plug in a lot, and any suggestion for a CRM software
under BSD would be much appreciated.

I gotta be very careful to change a system.

I thank you for reading my nonsense post and hoping that  if somebody
could give me some advice.
