Testimonial - Thanks to FreeBSD

2004-09-07 Thread Valéry
Hi,
starting on mainframe in the middle 80's,
i met a dilemn in the later 90's : if you want a job,
you must run on Microsoft.
Well, i started a new learn of computing on this
OS, un-learning all about i knew on computing,
a very difficult task when you're coming from IBM...
All my friends repeated to me :
you should work on Unix like system, you should ..
2 month's ago, i would like to setup my own server,
at home, with web, ftp and mail services.
I want him robust, efficient, safe and so one.
i dreamed to get an old 3090 for 500$ !, but
there's no place at home for him :o)
Thus, i have started to install my first FreeBSD
(on a very special computer) ... 2 weeks later,
without any knowledge about Unix like systems,
my httpd, ftpd ran (very ?!) well. This mean that
your system is well designed and documented.
Monitoring access, it's incredible to see that BSD
is faster by 2 to 3 than other tested system.
and i discovered that computing is absolutely what
i learned on IBM ..
Great thanks to the community, and your effort to
document FreeBSD, even in French (we are so bad with
others languages ..!), i hope to help the FreeBSD users
by writing some drivers and other things,
K. Regards, take care,

KERNEL : Ethernet Device not recognized

2004-08-18 Thread Valéry
Version : FreeBSDi386-5.2.1
Foreword : FreeBSD5.2.1 is used because 4.1 don't recognized
my motherboard correctly.
Hi,
some trouble to start an integrated Ethernet Device
by FreeBSD.
Loader give the message :
pci2: network, ethernet at device 8.0 (no driver attached)
in my case, i'm using :
MotherBoard : Asus P4SL8 / Pundit
Ethernet: 3Com 3C920B-EM-WNM Integrated Fast Ethernet
with this informations (returned by NT5.1) :
PCI 2, device 8 (same as FreeBSD)
IRQ 18
I/O : EC00-EC7F
Memory : FE20-FE20007F
Here's the Kernel Configuration :
* loader.conf
I tried to load the module 'if_xl' on loader.conf but got the
message that module was already loaded (default/loader.conf set the
if_xl module_load to NO)...
* device.hints (5.2.1)
hint.ed.0.at=isa
hint.ed.0.disable=0
hint.ed.0.port=0xec00   #Loader resp. : wrong
hint.ed.0.irq=18#Loader resp. : wrong IRQ - over 15
hint.ed.0.maddr=0xFE20  #Loader resp. : wrong addr
Well. My questions are :
Q1 : how to attach a device driver on pci2.dev8 ?
Q2 : how to setup correctly parms in device.hints ?
Q3 : why loader say that if_xl is already loaded when setting up
if_xl_load to YES ?
Q4 : setting up verbose_loading=YES has worked one time, but seem
to be ignored by the loader now (no verbose in /var/log/messages)
Why ?
Thanks, as you understand i'm a very newbies on FreeBSD,
i would like to migrate my Apache from NT5.1 to FreeBSD
but without network i'm affraid that would be not possible
:o)
Regards,
PS : i can't send you my /var/log/messages file because i can't
write on my NTFS partition (mount_ntfs doesn't permit that)
and have no floppy on my computer (a friend give me this computer,
this was not my choice, sorry ..)

KERNEL : ethernet device not present on if_xl module

2004-08-18 Thread Valéry
Version : FreeBSDi386-5.2.1
Foreword : FreeBSD5.2.1 is used because 4.1 don't recognized
my motherboard correctly.
Note : this email following : KERNEL : Ethernet Device not recog.
by [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Wed, 18 August 10:59 GMT
Hi,
it seem that the following PCI_ID is not included in
the module if_xl.c :
PCI_ID: 9202
Relative to: 3Com 3C920B-EMB-WNM Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller
Question :
Q1 : how to obtain a certified if_xl module with this PCI_ID ?
(if_xl.c have only the 9201 PCI_ID, could we use this one by
renaming it ?)
A compiled .ko version will be nice.
Thank,

Newbies Question

2004-08-17 Thread Valéry
REF : documentation
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html
Hi,
i'm installing FreeBSD in order to change my NT5.1
with Apache  ftp server.
I'm comming from IBM OS/390 mainframe and don't know
anything on Unix like systems. I'm a C/C++ developper too.
My question beeing very simple, i think you don't need
technical information, but see on * lines below.
Q : how to launch the Kernel Configuration Menu script
as described on Ch 2.3.2 (fig. 2.1) ?
i don't have any option to do that on the Loader Menu (i tried all)
i tried to grep-find the script (or command) but fails.
* i'm using/booting from FreeBSD 5.2.1, disc-1
* boot0  boot1 are Ok
* Loader Ok
* Sysinstall running Ok
Note : a mini-install of 5.2.1 is currently installed on my HDD
and seem to work properly. I would like to configure more
accurately my Kernel now.
Great thanks, FreeBSD is exactly what i want,
