You never know but when something strange pops up. If you aren't using the defaults, killing the CPU and FLAGS are a place to start. It is too easy to add the "#" and then delete if nothing changes. For example, my 5-stable is an athlon-xp and somewhere in time, I commented the CPU out. The default FLAGS is "-O -pipe" and so, I don't supply them either. I have been going to try and find what the boot parameter is. The delay at the start is not needed.

Re: RELENG_5 installworld fails
So, you need to supply more info. Are you setting any special parameters in /etc/make.conf? Did you follow UPDATING as far as the sequence of buildworld, [build/install]kernel, boot to single user mode and do the installworld? Before this build, when did you last update your system? This points to /etc/make.conf: CPUTYPE=p3 CFLAGS= -O -pipe -msse -mmmx COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe -msse -mmmx NO_BIND=true BOOTWAIT=0 It is a dual PIII Xeon, 5.3-RELEASE freshly installed - installing cvsup and updating to RELENG_5 was the first thing I did. The procedure in UPDATING is followed strictly. I have done many installations on different machines and never had trouble with optimizations in make.conf (except when I specified the wrong CPU once :)). I just can't link problems with GCC optimization flags, to the fact that the path to uuencode is not set in a Makefile in some directory. I was just curious, thanks for the reply.

A current cvsup also shows no changes. That makes it look like an error on your end. I log my cvsup runs and then convert it into HTML. That lets me browse the changes back to cvsweb.cgi. So, you need to supply more info. Are you setting any special parameters in /etc/make.conf? Did you follow UPDATING as far as the sequence of buildworld, [build/install]kernel, boot to single user mode and do the installworld? Before this build, when did you last update your system? Since I have done the cvsup of src-all, I am going to update my system but on 5-stable that takes awhile :). There were a number of changes and I might as well get up todate again. Look at what you have done and see if there may be areas that affect the builds and installs. Since you got it to install, another go at the whole process may produce a update that doesn't error off.

Yes: Update all of XFree86 to the latest version in ports (4.4). XFree86-libraries does contain libXinerama.so.1. The real conundrum is how you ended up with a system like this. I can make a few guesses: You upgraded KDE via packages Running ''portupgrade -PPRa'' I guess. I had been having problems caused by the compiler changes and read in this list, or -questions, an answer to a question about the same problem where the advice was to u/g all your ports via packages (or uninstall them all and rebuild from ports). portupgrade(1) skipped XFree86. - that KDE has been built against xorg (which is the default X distribution for 5.3 and contains libXinerama.so.1, while XFree86-4.3 only contains a libXinerama.a). Are you saying the KDE packages are built against xorg? I guess that explains all the dependencies on xorg that I kept having to delete using ''pkgdb -F''. Is that the real reason KDE won't run? Would switching to xorg be the best solution in the long run then (now is the time for me to do it if it is)? I guess that would mean rebuilding all my X apps that weren't installed from packages. Thanks for the quick and detailed reply. Regards, Mark Or maybe you compiled KDE yourself - against Xorg or XFree86-4.4 and then downgraded to XFree86-4.3? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I mean, 5.1 has more features but a worst performace that 4.8. You seem to give the answer to this question right within the question. The reason to run 5.1 is if you want to try out the new features and be a part of the development in some way. The reason to stick with 4.8 is if you want a high performance system/server running right now. If you choose 5.1, you will have to be willing to accept its present limited status. It seems to be getting close, but it ain't ready to be a supported "stable branch" yet.

Did you tune your installation? I found that after enabling SSE in my kernel and modifying /boot/loader.conf to enable DMA on IDE and ATAPI devices that 5.1 runs like a bat out of Hell. Only when playing DVDs with mplayer do I get slowdown, and it's my fault for using an ancient video card. There isn't a -STABLE branch for 5.1 yet because the maintainers don't think 5.1 is ready for it. Be patient. -- Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net "I am become root, shatterer of kernels."

Re: RELENG_5 ?
Hi David, You might want to look at the "FreeBSD-CURRENT vs. FreeBSD-STABLE" page which discusses the differences between stable and current. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html cheers, Torben David Rio wrote: Hi all: I have been using FreeBSD in production enviroments so I used FreeBSD 4.7 and 4.8.
