Macbook Pro Core Duo and 4.3
Hey all, I have previously been able to run OpenBSD 4.2-current on my Macbook Pro. It's been a while since I did so, but I wanted to go ahead and reinstall my machine with 4.3. The biggest change that I expected to affect me was the automatic enabling of ACPI for the kernel. I thought this would be a good thing. As it turns out, something must have changed since I last used OpenBSD to make things troublesome. Usually, what I used to do was build my own custom boot only image and change the bsd.rd kernel to have acpi enabled. However, this didn't seem necessary for 4.3, and I went ahead and tried to boot. However, it hangs near the end of the kernel messages with an rd0 line. I thought that I heard about someone having trouble with 4.3 hanging on a Macbook so I tried searching for a solution, but I couldn't find anything specific. The only things that seem to relate to the stable release after May 1st are unrelated items. One other thing I noted was that someone tried to boot his Macbook using the bsd.mp kernel, which obviously won't work until the OS is installed. However, I notice that the dmesg seems a bit different for the MP kernel with some acpi information put at the top that I don't see in the rd kernel. I am able to get the mp kernel to boot up to the point where it asks for a root device, but obviously I can't go past that. Anyways, I remembered in a chat that there was possibly a conflict between apm and acpi, so I went ahead, disabled apm, and this didn't work either. Can any of you provide some assistance with this matter? Has anyone had success with the 4.3 release and Core Duo Macbook Pros? I am of course using i386 as the architecture. Am I just missing something obvious? - Aaron Hsu

Hello Thomas, Thanks for your message On Dec 9, 2007, at 1:22 PM, Thomas Delaet wrote: I tried booting 4.2 i386 images (amd64 did not work) on my macbook. In every case (bsd.rd, bsd and bsd.mp) I got the following as the first kernel message: kbc: cmd word write error For all kernels, I enabled acpi and disabled apm. I have noticed that this seems to happen for every kernel, but with my Macbook Pro (Core Duo) it has not caused any issues with the keyboard. I remember that there have been some issues with the Macbooks and their keyboards. Most users reported that using an external keyboard (most used usb) solved the issues. I believe that this is probably the only way that you will be able to get your Macbook running properly, unless someone has fixed this. I would love to have more information on Macbooks and their issues, so that I can update my guide. If you happen to find another solution that does not involve external keyboards, please let me know.

Problems with Lynx (?) and Nmh
Hey all, I am having some trouble with nmh and lynx in 4.2. For some reason, I cannot seem to use Lynx successfully as a pager for text/html parts. I have the following in my .mh_profile: mhshow-show-text/html: %plynx '%F' And it tries to do its things, but then it fails. The error seems like it might be coming from Lynx: /tmp//lynx-bHgkw13916/: No such directory exit 1 Now, if I s/lynx/firefox/ in the profile, everything works fine. Additionally, everything works fine if I use less instead of lynx. I have been working on this for some time on an MH newsgroup, but apparently, the consensus is that this is a Lynx problem. I am not sure what to make of it. Does anyone know what is going on? -- ((name Aaron Hsu) (email/xmpp [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (site http://www.aaronhsu.com;))
Revision on Macbook Guide
Hello everyone, I have had quite a few requests to come up with a new guide for the Macbook and OpenBSD. I haven't really thought that there was that much to update, so I haven't been doing too much on it. However, since there is a new -RELEASE out, I figured that I ought to at least bring things up to speed with the latest released features. I also wanted to give people some information about what may or may not be available in 4.3. Additionally, I wanted to make my pages a bit easier to access, so I have done this guide in plain text. I was hoping that anyone who had anything to add to this guide, and/or who had any comments regarding form, style, and general method, would speak up. :-) http://www.aaronhsu.com/v1/papers/openbsd_macbook.txt -- ((name Aaron Hsu) (email/xmpp [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (site http://www.aaronhsu.com;))
Just Received my Package
Wow, I am impressed this time around. Even though there seems to be less breadth in this particular case, I really like the quality. The whole package feels really solid, and the stickers seem nicer than previously. Additionally, I like the new printing on the booklet compared to what was in the older stuff. :-) Great Job, guys. I ordered two, btw, one to give away to people who are too lazy to download it to try it out. Maybe I can spread some of the OpenBSD cheer this Christmas! -- ((name Aaron Hsu) (email/xmpp [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (phone 703-597-7656) (site http://www.aaronhsu.com;)) [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
[Possibly OT] 16-bit Assembly Programming
Hello all, I am attempting to create an assembly program (for a class) on OpenBSD. The teacher has no issue with me developing the code based on the UNIX-based assembly (int 0x80 syscalls vs. int 0x21 Dos Function), but he does not want me to use 32-bit code. I believe this has something to do with him wanting me to use a Real-addressing Mode as opposed to the 32-bit protected mode. I'm doing x86 assembly. Now, I can create nice and working 32-bit OpenBSD elf executables using yasm and so on. It took a bit of work to understand how to do it, but other than that, it works fine. Now, the issue I am having is that I can't figure out how to instead write 16-bit code. Basically, the teacher should be happy if I don't use the extended registers. Reading in the Yasm documentation, I found the BITS directive, and also the note that it should not be necessary to use this directive, since the object file format I choose should automatically handle this. The `obj' format was indicated as one of the file formats that I should use. However, the yasm assembler in OpenBSD does not have that as a valid format. Also, there seems to be no way to generate 16-bit OpenBSD executables. Is this true? My basic question is, how can I create an assembly program using that will run on OpenBSD that is 16-bit (that is, using only the non-extended registers)? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as searching online has confused me royally as to whether this is even possible or not. It seems like it should be. -- ((name Aaron Hsu) (email/xmpp [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (phone 703-597-7656) (site http://www.aaronhsu.com;))

Problem with setting up printer
Hey all, I've been trying to get my Brother 2070n printer to work for a bit now, and I'm a bit confused about why it won't work. It's supposed to be a pretty straightforward Postscript printer, and in the web configuration there are postcript, text, and pcl services, as well as binary printing. It supports lpd printing, and I have been trying to use apsfilter to setup the printcap file. Now, I found the Open Printing Database that indicates that either hl1250, generic PCL6, or pxlmono drivers should work. There are also supposed to be some GPL released brother drivers for CUPS, but I don't want to install CUPS. Now, I run through the setup, and configure the system using a remote printer P1 and the remote machine as 10.0.1.77 (which is the static IP with which it is configured). Everything between the wires seems fine, as I can communicate with the printer, but the printer does not print out the expected results. I have a PS file that is easily viewed using Ghostscript. It contains some %% comment like lines at the start of the file. When I send the file to the printer, I get a ton of blank pages printed, and either the first page contains the first three lines of the file printed in a staggered form (as though it expect CRLF and only got LF), or I don't get anything at all. Looking at the web configuration page, I notice that there are special control strings for each service, that can be configured to my liking (even blank, if I so choose). I don't really understand these control strings, but when I setup a printer in 2002, I remember that I had to do some hacking to tack on control strings to the file (this was an HP Inkjet printer), and that made it work. Does anyone know where I can look to fix this, or know how I can fix this? Do I need to add control strings somewhere, or should I not even be bothering with these things and should I be doing something else? Would there be any other information you would need that would help out in this respect? Thanks! -- ((name Aaron Hsu) (email/xmpp [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (phone 703-597-7656) (site http://www.aaronhsu.com;))
X Windows and Multihead Display
Hello All, I guess I'm doing some strange things here, and I hope that they are not going to come back to bite me. :-) Goal: To have an X Windows Two Monitor, One Video Card system running Hardware: Macbook Pro 2.16ghz Intel Core Duo w/ ATI Radeon Mobility X1600 So far, the only way I have been able to get my system to work has been to run `X -configure' and then use the generated x.org configuration file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This has some problems. 1) Resolution is an ugly 1400x1050 (should be 1680x1050). 2) Display driver is Vesa 3) My external LCD (Apple HD Display) monitor is not recognized. Manual editing of the xorg.conf file yields little results. Doing some reading of the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log gives me some insight. Apparently, the vesa driver does not have a mode for 1680x1050. After doing some searching, I found someone with an LCD screen similar to mine (we are talking about the laptop screen, not the external display, which is not recognized at all), and tried to take the Modelines from his xorg, and use them with my machine. I tried to place them under the monitor section, as well as in a separate Modes section, but the vesa driver continues to not find anything available. I would ideally like to use a non-vesa driver to get this machine working, but apparently the radeon driver (which seems the logical choice for drivers) is not working. I also attempted to find some timing (refresh rates) information on my Macbook Pro to no avail. I am thinking of calling up the technical support and seeing if they will provide me with this information, but I am not sure if they will. I can post xorg.conf files and logs if you would like, but first, can this be done? If so, can you point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Sendmail Configuration Question
Goal: Configure my laptop's sendmail as a client to connect securely to my remotely configured (sendmail VPS Slackware) mail relay server using port 587. I am running the latest (as of a few days ago) OpenBSD snapshot on a Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.16ghz 17. Below you can find a copy of my .mc file. What I tried: setting up the .mc file to use a SMART_HOST with mailer_relay_args customized to use port 587, enabled masquerading, and added a line to use the access_db. Added AuthInfo lines to the access map, of the form: AuthInfo:smtp.sacrificumdeo.net U:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ P:my_pass [Line breaks are artificial and marked by `\'.] I also added similar lines that usee vps.sacrificumdeo.net and sacrificumdeo.net as names. Additionally, I set another entry with the ip address. I also configured a default AuthInfo (blank) with the same authentication information. I did not configure certs, because by the time I realized that I would eventually want to do this, I realized, that there was another problem. OpenBSD's compilation of sendmail does not seem to have SASL compiled into it. This would mean that I could not do SMTP AUTH. [1] This means that I can't do what I was originally thinking, unless someone points me in another direction. It makes sense, of course, because I continued to get 530 Authentication required errors, which suggests that the sendmail client has no idea how to authenticate. Now, my question is, how can I configure this? I was thinking that it might be possible just using STARTTLS. Is this a proper assumption? If I configured the right certificates and what not, I could authenticate on the basis of STARTTLS, and wouldn't have to rely on sasl at all? Is this the recommended way to configure something like this? Here is a telnet session to my mailhost: arcfide:1$ telnet smtp.sacrificumdeo.net 587 Trying 69.12.222.205...

sd0/umass0 Hard Drive, wake up?
Hey all, For some reason, I can't seem to figure this out. I have an external umass hard drive detected as sd0 by my computer. However, immediately on starting, the drive goes into offline mode. It then will not respond to any commands. For example: $ sudo fdisk sd0 fdisk: DIOCGDINFO: Input/output error fdisk: Can't get disk geometry, please use [-chs] to specify. Now, this `Input/output error' occurs on all commands that I try to run. I read through scsi(8) and ioctl(2) and noticed that I can send some commands to the drive. I was thinking that there might be a wake-up command that I could send. However, I can't find a list of those commands. Did I just miss them? Ideally I would like to keep the drive awake when I am using it, but have the option to manually put it to sleep when I don't want it around.

In my admitted legal ignorance, a push for Public Domain Software (i.e. without copyright or license of any sort) might result in the most truly Free software possible? I believe that there is a difference from Public Domain and BSD type licenses. Public Domain is indeed the most unencumbered license, but I think that the BSD does place useful restrictions on the software. To my understanding, anyone who designs a piece of work under the BSD license is required to permit redistribution of this changed product, am I wrong? This is something I've never quite understood. The BSD-type licenses say that you can redistribute and modify the code and maybe distribute the software in only binary form, but that the software and its derivatives must still be licensed under the BSD license, right? This makes it useful for commercial applications, wherein companies can bundle binary only products which use the source code, and not worry about their secrets go, but if someone were to grab the binaries off of say, an embedded device or a small form factor router, they would still be allowed to redistribute this software, right, because the modified software must have the same license?

4.1 and Macbook Pro
Hello all, I am wondering what problems I am going to run into with the 4.1-RELEASE and a Macbook Pro. Right now I have tried to boot up the latest snapshot on my Core Duo Macbook Pro and it hang right after the usb and rd0 line. From what I understand, this is the last line before entering userland and trying to run the rc scripts, right? Searching around I found no occurances of this problem or much of anything documented for OpenBSD and the Macbook Pros. Chatting on IRC gave me the boot -c option to try to use a verbose message. In another message I found somewhere, it also suggested boot -v. boot -c brings up a UKC prompt which does not seem to accept input. The insert point or line seems to bounce back and forth very rapidly from the prompt to the line above it about 30 - 50 characters to the right. boot -v (obviously) does not work, as apparently that's a bad option for bsd.rd. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can debug this and/or fix it? -- Aaron Hsu [EMAIL PROTECTED] No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. - Edmund Burke

Re: SCSI tape drive hanging
