disk geometry problem
I think I found the source of several problems on my hd. I have an 40 gig hd (WDC WD400BB-75DEA0) that right now has: #1: primary partition with Windows 2kpro #2: extended partition with Windows D partition, PCLinuxOS, and extra ext2fs partitions for files #3. end of hd has my primary partition with OpenBSD 4.4 OpenBSD and dos(partition magic) both show geometry of 4863,255,63 linux shows geometry of 4865,255,63). Actual sectors (even printed on hd) is 78125000, but linux shows 78156225. I don't know what to do to fix that. The systems have been running ok, but I can't mount the PCLinuxOS partition from OpenBSD and when trying to install 4.5 or 4.6, I get the ERR M problem. I use Windows strictly for powerpoint files and I don't get on the internet with it, linux for flash and other junk like that. OpenBSD is my main running system. Any help greatly appreciated. I tried google, but didn't see anything to fix this.
error compiling kernel when updating openbsd 4.5 through cvs
Hi OpenBSD people,
I have this VIA c3 epia system with 512mb RAM and a 80GB HD where I've
installed Openbsd 4.5 (got the install sets from a ftp server).
uname -a gives:
OpenBSD via-epia.lokaal 4.5 GENERIC#1749 i386
Then I wanted to update this machine because
http://www.openbsd.org/errata45.html said there were a few patches.
I decided to use cvsup and after I fetched the sources I did:
...

# make clean make depend make make installThis last command stopped

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Re: Forum engine
The question was: Does anyone know of a good secure Forum engine that runs well on OBSD. A debate of its merits vs a mailing list is a tad off topic and has nothing to do with OBSD. Thanks.

Because you get to pick your UI, because all your mail as amalgamated into one mailbox where you can sort it yourself where there's no easy place for garbage off-topic discussion, because your mailbox is where messages can be threaded properly, because there are no avatars or forum stats or ranks or administrators or moderators to create politics, because they're low overhead and easy accessible, because low-traffic mailing lists still catch everyone's attention where a low-traffic forum will eventually be ignored by the users... so on and so forth. There's bound to be a bunch of sites or archived rants/debates about this. If it helps, compare your average forum goer with your average mailing list denizen. That alone should be enough... -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li
Re: Forum engine
2009/10/11 Nick Guenther kou...@gmail.com: I think you misunderstand forums; have you ever even participated in one? Not needing to choose your UI is a feature, not a bug. Yes, quite a few, and it drove me crazy and made my cynical. My favourite feature is having it all in one place, rather than having to keep track of a bunch of sites and monitor them; mailing lists all show up in my inbox and sort themselves. And I can do this with whatever mail client I like. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

Actual sectors (even printed on hd) is 78125000, but linux shows 78156225. well, if Linux is not using those last two cylinders, don't sweat it, it Just Doesn't Matter. It only matters if you try to write something where nothing is. If I tell you the edge of the cliff is 100M. away, and someone else tells you it is 102M. away, and you are pretty sure that ONE of us is telling the truth, you can wander 100M minus your shoe size safely. The fact that we disagree doesn't mater, just don't go those last 2M. If OpenBSD is the more conservative report, and you have OpenBSD at the end of the disk, you should have no issues. I don't know what to do to fix that. don't even try. you will just break things. The systems have been running ok, but I can't mount the PCLinuxOS partition from OpenBSD is it ext2? if not, that would be expected. and when trying to install 4.5 or 4.6, I get the ERR M problem. totally unrelated. Could your machine your machine have a BIOS limitation? 32G is a not uncommon BIOS limitation, if you had your OpenBSD partition above that point, a BIOS upgrade would be high on my list of things to check. There were some motherboards shipping with buggy BIOSs with 32G issues long after much larger disks were commonplace. I use Windows strictly for powerpoint files and I don't get on the internet with it, linux for flash and other junk like that. OpenBSD is my main running system. Any help greatly appreciated. I tried google, but didn't see anything to fix this. How are you getting the various OS to boot? A bit more info would be a help... Fred Didn't think about that :) Was 2nd guessing what info would be needed (good info=OpenBSD vs bad info=linux). Right now, I'm using Air-Boot, but also have used grub. Ick. ok, what happens if you quit trying to be fancy, and just set the active partition to OpenBSD and quit trying to multiboot it? No Air-boot, no grub, just a standard MBR/PBR? Considering how some of those multi-boot programs try to help you, nothing surprises me when they break. The PBR (what is giving you the ERR M, see FAQ14) has a relatively small set of things that can go wrong. ERR M means that what it was installed to load is not (currently) /boot. This means either the BIOS delivered something other than /boot, or you are running a PBR that hasn't been updated since your last OpenBSD install (hint: some multiboot systems will save a copy of your PBR for them to use, instead of the one OpenBSD installs to boot the OS, and they rarely know when to update it when you reinstall the system!) or the /boot file got clobbered somehow.

Re: error compiling kernel when updating openbsd 4.5 through cvs
Robert Gilaard wrote: Hi OpenBSD people, I have this VIA c3 epia system with 512mb RAM and a 80GB HD where I've installed Openbsd 4.5 (got the install sets from a ftp server). uname -a gives: OpenBSD via-epia.lokaal 4.5 GENERIC#1749 i386 Then I wanted to update this machine because http://www.openbsd.org/errata45.html said there were a few patches. I decided to use cvsup and after I fetched the sources I did: I got fancy, and things blew up. Why? How about erasing your source tree and closely following faq5.html and see what happens? Since you didn't indicate how you configured cvsup, I'm pretty sure that's where your problem is, you are probably trying to build -current instead of 4.5. There are a lot of ways to get source, cvsup is (in my mind) a single-platform (i386) solution in search of a problem. What performance gain it gives you is easily offset by one incident like this. Just use cvs properly, and I think you will have no problems. Nick.
