FBSD 8: custom kernel config ends boot at mountroot. Plz. help!
Hi, My system boots fine with the GENERIC kernel on FreeBSD 8.0 I made a custom kernel, but the boot process then ends with the mountroot error and prompt. Apparently something is wrong with my kernel config file. Can somebody check it below and tell me what is wrong with my kernel config file? Especially the GEOM_PART_* at the end might be the culprit, although this configuration used to work for 7.3. Thank you!

One thing to try is entering ? there, to produce a list of recognized filesystems. Comparing that list with what you expected might provide a clue. Another possibility would be to compare the dmesg from your kernel with the one from GENERIC. Apparently something is wrong with my kernel config file. Can somebody check it below and tell me what is wrong with my kernel config file? Especially the GEOM_PART_* at the end might be the culprit, although this configuration used to work for 7.3. Supposing the disk is partitioned with GPT (not with MBR/BSD, which you appear to be excluding) I see nothing blatantly obvious, but I am far from an expert in such matters. It might be worthwhile to check UPDATING to see if anything rings a bell, and/or compare your config file with the GENERIC one. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Then when you run into trouble with your custom kernel you can post a diff(1) between it and GENERIC. Then it's easy to see what you've enabled/disabled, left-out etc. As it stands, it takes too much time for people to compare your custom kernel with GENERIC.

You have only those two files in root? What about the kernal files I see on my system? Anyway, I have taken this opportunity to do a complete upgrade - new server, updated OS, Aps, everything. Moving from an AMD Athlon 600 to a AMD 2600+ with a 400mHz FSB MB, and a 120gig HD, giving LOTS of room to root and swap partitions. This time I will set the symlinks on /var and /tmp to /usr/var and /usr/tmp first thing after the OS installs. This should make for a very nice web server.

I tried using kpp and I could connect to my isp ( I am telling this because pppd does run ) but whenever I try to visit a website it doesn't work, browser says unknown host. Sounds like /etc/resolv.conf hasn't been setup to point to valid DNS servers. Try adding a line like: nameserver 4.2.2.1 ...to /etc/resolv.conf and see whether that solves your problem, only you should use the nameservers your ISP gives you if you know what they are. You can also configure PPP to set this file up for you when you connect via the enable dns config option in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.

I tried using kpp and I could connect to my isp ( I am telling this because pppd does run ) Do that then, once you are connected, type: ping 158.43.128.1 if you get no packets back, it's a problem with your ppp settings. If you do get packets back, type: ping www.yahoo.com if you get no packets back, it's your DNS settings. Look at /etc/resolv.conf - you should see at least one line like this: nameserver ip.address.of.nameserver If you don't add such a line (or two) with valid nameservers. Your ISP should give you such settings. If they haven't, you could use: nameserver 158.43.128.1 but only temporarily - it's a Worldcom/MCI nameserver and might not live forever. Oh, and set a hostname. (see man hostname). PWR. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

P.S I also can't send receive mail using kmail inspite of giving all the required parameters. Do you have DNS name resolution setup correctly on your machine? Your ISP should have given you at least one IP address for their DNS server(s). Make sure that you place these addresses in your /etc/resolv.conf file. Such as: nameserver 1.2.3.4 nameserver 1.2.3.5 Also, while kppp tells you that you are connected, try pinging an IP address instead of the domain name. hotmail.com is 64.4.32.7 and microsoft.com is 207.46.245.222. Alternatively you could just plug either of the IP addresses into your browser address bar. If it still doesn't work then you may be able to rule out a DNS issue.

RE: problem with network cards in server, plz help
The problem you describe is becoming common in the 4.x versions of FBSD. I have seen these solutions voiced previously in this list. 1. Check the PC's bios, look for a toggle to disable plug-n-play function. 2. Check that your PCI Nic card is not in the first or last PCI expansion slot on the motherboard. 3. There is a problem with autonegotiation of the media settings between your NIC and your switch. The default setting of auto means the Nic card should sense the Lan for the switch or hub and set it's media type to match. There have been reports of the Nic Card media type changing on the fly between 10/100 and halfduplex and fullduplex causing the network to freeze up. To stop this use the ifconfig command in the rc.conf file to force the media type. Like this ifconfig_xl0=inet 10.0.10.2 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex 4 add option PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES to your kernel source and recompile. See LINT 5. add device puc option PUC_FASTINTR to your kernel source and recompile. See LINT 6. Follow bug fix using this url http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=40636 Try one of the above one at a time until your problem goes away. I have two different cards on my Netfinity 5000 server, a pci Netgear FA311 (showing up as a NatSemi (sis0), and the onboard network card which seems to have an AMD chipset (pcn0). If I have the onboard ethernet card enabled at all and have an active cable connected to it and restart the computer it comes up on ukphy0, turns the pci error light on and I get no internet access which it later makes the computer reboot automatically without any warning. If I disable that card and put in a PCI Netgear card, have also tried other cards such as Intel or IBM cards, once in a while it will boot normally but every once in a while it will get hung up on the ukphy0 as well, giving me the same problem as the onboard network and reboot itself. At first I thought it was an IRQ problem but all of my devices now have individual IRQ's set in the bios and I'm still having this problem. I'm afraid to reboot this thing because I'm afraid it won't be coming back up. Below are from my dmesg, the first is when I have my onboard ethernet enabled and the second is when I have the netgear installed. Any help would be much appreciated on what to do with this problem. By the wayI'm running on FreeBSD 4.6.2 but also have this problem running 4.7, I it also usually hangs on the driver initialization during installation of the os.
