Until you see one, just pretend that anything labeled 4.8-RELEASE doesn't exist. It's that simple, OK? :-) In an ideal world, the release engineering team could put the releases, well, somewhere, they'd magically get pushed out instantaneously to all of the mirror sites all around the world, and be guaranteed to be correct. In the real world, it takes a non-zero amount of time to get the data to a reasonable subset of the mirrors. Not all of the data is available at the same time, and even if it were, it takes about a day (at least) for most of the mirrors to get it, depending on what time of the day and what day of the week we make the bits available. There were (are?) two ongoing wrinkles in that the machine that was holding disc1.iso (for the i386) went down for awhile yesterday, plus we generally agreed that sending out a release announcement on 1 April was a Bad Idea (TM). Please be patient. Bruce. (RE team member, but speaking for myself) Well, RELEASEing of software and POPULATEing (released) software onto mirrors is different, I think :-). I'd rather vote for following order of operations: 1.label RELEASE 2.announce RELEASE in CVS tree 3.build RELEASE 4.populate ISOs 5.announce RELEASE in binary distribution 6.announce RELEASE on web site (if we want to say that RELEASE is OUT when binary distribution is available) This will eleminate situation RELEASE is labeled but not announced by RE.

FreeBSD 5.0 will not boot
Hi everyone, I released turned to FreeBSD simply because I am discouraged with windows and there security scheme (did you guys see the document microsoft wrote about how to stop windows from sending out info about your computer onto the net? it's freaking 250 pages, and that doesn't cover all the xtra exploits that can come in your computer). Anyways, I recently tried 4.8 rc2, and it worked like a charm. So I wanted to try 5.0...that was a problem. Unfortunately, 5.0 won't boot for me. I go through the installation procedure without a glitch. But then, when comes first boot, after the initial message (when you have a 10 second delay and you push enter) all I get is hex being dumped to my screen, and alot of it. Now I think I read somewhere that FreeBSD5.0 now comes with a splash screen when it boots. I have a geforce ti4200. To make X work (under 4.8) I needed to get the nvidia drivers, would this affect anything? If so, how do I get to install those drivers before I can get a first boot? (I tried booting from the cd, and getting a shell, but I can't even 'ls' from that shell) Anyways, any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. P.S. Apart from the little (very annoying) glitch, freeBSD is prety nice... I must admit i'm very impressed. Just gotta get those cvs flags down now :P Thanks, Jd ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're still interested in trying 5.0... first see if you can get it run without X windows. Instead of pressing the enter key, press the any key to get a boot prompt and then type 'boot -s' to boot into single user mode. If you can boot into single user mode, then you know the OS can boot. And problem is most likely with getting X to run. Don't know how to really explain how to trouble-shoot X windows problems. But you might want to try using the stock nvidia driver or the stock vga driver that comes with X before attempting to using the drivers provided by nvidia(not sure those work with 5.0 anyways). Comment out the line in /etc/ttys that contains xdm -nodaemon to keep freebsd from starting X windows at boot-up. Make sure at least ttyv0 is uncommented, so you'll get a console prompt. But since you're new to freebsd, I suggest sticking with 4.8 and getting a feel for it. This will give you a stable platform to learn with and an idea of how to trouble-shoot problems.

4.8-S crashes during boot in USB code
Hi List, my FreeBSD-4.8-Stable custom kernel crashes in USB code during boot. It does not matter if any USB device is connected. I checked all combinations of no, one, or two devices connected out of my collection (USB memory stick, Sony clie handheld). The crash is reproducible at the same location in the USB driver. A generic kernel does not crash, but does not detect the Clie. Enclosed are a DDB stack trace (stacktrace.txt), my machine-specific config file (KISTE), as well as dmesg output from the generic kernel (dmesg.boot.txt). Any hints?
