5.2 acpi hangs on PowerEdge 4350 usb controller - should I file an bug report?
When installing FreeBSD 5.2, booting with acpi enabled, the system hangs when it detects the server's usb controller. This server (PowerEdge 4350) has an Intel 440GX chipset with a usb host controller, but it does not have any usb ports. If I disable acpi, I can install fine. After compiling a new kernel with all usb support disabled, I can boot with acpi again. Even Windows detects the controller with an error (cannot start device) Should I fill out a bug report for this issue? Just wanted to check with the gurus first. Thanks!

Re: Success with Symantec Ghost 7
It took Ghost approximatly 1 hour to copy each 9G hard drive (2 hours total). The Dell has dual PIII 500's in it. Certainly not the fastest solution, but yet another option.

I'm using dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad2 bs=16k for my disks (2x20GB, EIDE, UDMA100), and it takes roughly 28 minutes.

Trouble installing grub on FreeBSD 5.1
I'm trying to setup FreeBSD 5.1 on my Dell C640, dual booting with Windows 2000. I cannot get grub to install. When I run grub-install, it churns for a few seconds and comes back with: /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. I have verified all of the files are in /boot/grub and made sure / was UFS1, NOT UFS2. (Tried both ways actually.) It installs fine on FreeBSD 4.8 without changing anything else about the drive arrangement. On 4.8 I have to change /boot/grub/devices.map to /dev/rad0. This does not seem to work for 5.1. Any help appreciated.

Updating parts of the system..
I was wondering if it was feasible to update just parts of the FreeBSD system without updating the whole thing...for instance the recent OpenSSL update - is it possible to update just OpenSSL on say a FreeBSD 4.3 box without updating the whole system? From what I have read it doesn't look to be possible, (outside of installing from ports, but I want to upgrade what actually came with the FreeBSD install) but I just wanted to check with the experts.

Racoon and L2TP?
Do Racoon and L2TP (l2tpd) work together? I am trying to make an IPSec VPN server based on FreeBSD for W2K clients, and I need the L2TP to pass through NAT. I was able to get l2tpd to work by itself, (by disabling IPSec in Windows) but when I bring racoon into the picture, W2K can no longer connect. The error message is that the remote machine was not answering. I have found several FreeBSD/racoon/IPSec = W2K tutorials, but none of them address the issue using L2TP. It is supposed to work with FreeS/WAN, but that means Linux:x Before I rack my brain any further, can someone tell me if this combination is even possible? Thanks in advance for the help!

fxp module from -stable for 4.6
I am trying to compile the fxp module (driver) from FreeBSD -stable in my copy of 4.6. I am getting the following: linking kernel if_fxp.o: in function 'fxp_add_rfabuf': if_fxp.o(.text+0x2e5f): undefined reference tp 'm_getcl' *** Error code 1 This is while trying to build a new kernel with the src's off of the 4.6 CD with the if_fxp.c from -stable. I need to get the network interface operating to CVSup the rest of the system. Am I missing something, or is this source too new for the rest of the original 4.6 release? This is NOT 4.6.2, it is 4.6 from a cd set I purchased from FreeBSD Mall. The network card is the 82562 on board an Asus P4B533-V motherboard. I need to get this version of FreeBSD to replicate another setup for testing. Any help appreciated.

The FreeBSD gallery
I was wondering who maintains the FreeBSD gallery. I was surfing around the commercial page today and I am finding a lot of dead links, and pages that no longer use FreeBSD according to Netcraft. I would be willing to check/verify the list and submit my results to the page maintainers for review - if that would be of any help.
