Also, I am a newbie... just giving me the shell script without explanation can't help me at all :P Hey, now, I didn't give you a shell script, I showed you the output of the 'ls' command on my desktop box. If you need to know how to use 'ls', and 'grep', read the following paragraph; otherwise, skip down to where it says "So, do" And, take a look at the 'man' command as well In the following example, you see a shell prompt, some commands, and their output. The shell prompt ends at the first character of the second line, a 'hash' or "#" sign. In the shell, 'll' is aliased to "ls -l" as is the standard on the C shell. We told the shell to "ls -l" the contents of the /dev directory, and it did. The pipe "|" sends the output of the 'ls' command to 'grep', which looked for "io" in case one and "kmem" in case two. Did you check permissions on /dev/io and /dev/kmem? IIRC (you omitted your original post!) your problem was a warning about 'kmem' and a fatal error involving 'io' ... Check that your permissions are as follows: [/] [8:49] #ll /dev | grep io crw--- 1 root wheel 2, 14 Sep 21 23:00 io [/] [8:49] #ll /dev | grep kmem crw-r- 1 root kmem 2, 1 Sep 21 23:00 kmem crw-r- 1 root kmem 2, 0 Sep 21 23:00 mem So, do a "ll /dev | grep io" and a "ll /dev | grep kmem" and check that your permissions are the same as those shown. If they are, then my idea wasn't much help after all, and you should send your request back to the *list*, including the statement "I checked the permissions on /dev/io and /dev/kmem, and they seem normal," and perhaps even "I read the handbook, and didn't find this issue addressed" --- assuming, of course, that you take time to do so, and I think that could only be wise. Thanks!!! Have a nice day!!! :D Enoch That remains to be seen, which is sad, considering that it's almost 5 p.m. here ;). FWIW, I do hope you get your problem solved, and if that makes your day nicer, so much the better. :-) KDK ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thanks!!! :D > > Have a nice day!!! > > Enoch I don't have an answer to your question, but I'd like to point out that there are very few visible differences between 5.0 and 5.1, and probably most subsequent 5.x releases. Except in some very rare and odd circumstances, you'll be just fine running the latest 5.x. Just steer clear of the current (read: possibly unstable) branch until you're knowledgeable enough to handle a few difficult problems now and then. C.
