random FreeBSD panics
Hello List, I was a happy FreeBSD user, just before I installed FreeBSD8.0-RC1. Since then, system randomly just freezes, and there is no option other than hard boot. I guessed this will get solved in 8.0-RELEASE, but it was not :( Many times I get vmcore files, not always. I have dumpdev set to AUTO in my rc.conf. Almost every time it just fsck's the file-system on reboot. I have not lost any files though. This is a Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop with 1GB ram, Intel Core2 Duo T5500 with ATI Radeon X1400 card. The installation in question is KDE4 from ports, with radeon/ati driver. I felt the problem is with wpi driver, then suspected dri driver of X. Then I observed system freezes even if none of this is installed. e.g. if it is under some load, like building a port and simultaneously fetching something over network it hangs, and hangs hard. This persuaded me to think something is wrong in kernel scheduling itself. May be it is lost in some deadlock, etc... Thus last weekend I thought I would see how immediate previous version i.e. FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE would behave. I reinstalled FreeBSD7.1 from iso images, svn up'ed FreeBSD7.3 source, did the normal buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, installworld cycle. Unfortunatly this kernel is naughty as well ;-), it also freezes with same stubbornness. But difference is this time I happen to catch something interesting. It panics on NMI, fatal trap 19 while in kernel mode. Loaded the vmcore file in kgdb and got the backtrace. I obtained vmcore files on two occasions. I have attached both the back traces. This error most likely suggests hardware error in RAM, but Windox7 and XP boot just fine and never caused any errors. To verify if I have errors in my RAM I let run sysutils/memtest86+ overnight, to double verify I also executed Windows Memory Diagnostic test for four times. None of them reported errors. Can anyone here suggest any solution.

How to mark an interace as 'down' at boot time?
Trivial question, Is there an rc.conf way to mark a network interface as being 'down' at boot time? I could do it with a cron job, or a kernel rebuild, but I thought there'd be some nifty rc.conf syntax. I tried this: ifconfig_bge0=down The interface is marked as down in the dmesg output, but it's still up when the boot cycle completes. -Modulok- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You can tell the OS the i/f shouldn't be configured by: ifconfig_bge0=NOAUTO but that will probably still leave the i/f up if a cable is attached.

I've searched the web and I can't find any information about how to make this work. I know it can be done with Exchange and ActiveSync, but I don't want to run any kind of exchange server. Hmm, something similar recently came up here in the thread Exchange ActiveSync account, and in both cases there seems to be confusion in the roles of the MTA, the MDA and the MUA. The MTA is only responsible to relay mail to it's destination, the MDA to store it somewhere and the MUA to retrieve it. The mail is delivered in a mailbox and once it reaches that mailbox it is not the MTA's nor the MDA's problem anymore. It just sits there until you can reach your mailbox and read it. Many people think that IMAP, POP3 and alike are part of the mail (MTA) system but they are not. They are completely separate systems designed for you to be able to access/fetch your mailbox(es) from a remote location. Remember that email was invented on multi-user systems so when you log-in to a machine via telnet, ssh or sitting on a terminal, you access your email directly from the mailbox, you don't need to fetch it to a remote location to read it. Anyway, if you want to take mail from one mailbox and send it to another location, you need to pop-it (regardless if it's pop, imap or what have you) and then re-send it to the new destination. This is usually not the work on an MTA AFAIK and you need to use other tools such as Fetchmail. Hope this helps, Alejandro Imass Thanks for any help, or even a point in the right direction.

Ok different OS different name - possible and more then likely! :-) Anyhow, I just would like to know since so far my system is blind deaf and dumb, as I have no network access at all and as result no GUI as I will build it from ports; which driver I'd need and also how to install it in the machine??? With my other system and Solaris the trick was to use a USB key, of which of course the GUI was in full operation making my life a little easier then having to use the CLI to discover then mount the drive.

ZFS - Raidz1 - how to recover during install
Hi - I've been working on installing 8.0 using zfs and raidz1. I was using instructions found on the wiki. I got to the point where instructions say to cd to /dist/8.0* and discovered that the livefs cd for 8.0 has no such directory. However, the usb memstick did. In order to get into, however, I had to reboot the system. The question now is... Once I'm back in fixit and have loaded opensolaris.ko and zfs.ko how do I bring the dataset (zpool) online? I assume from the zfs docs that zpool online zpool device is what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure just what the device is. Any hints?

When do binaries get removed?
Good evening; I am using; $uname -r $8.0-RELEASE under Sun VirtualBox 3.1.6. I am a long time Debian GNU/Linux user who has just installed the above release. I have installed and used FreeBSD in years past but that was around the 5.x-RELEASE. I have had a time installing applications from the ports tree (a story for another day) and finally resorted to installing binaries from the install dvd to get the full working X distribution. I wanted to start with the 'minimal' set of packages and build from there. At the moment I have the distributed binaries installed and am compiling/installing gcc 4.4 and friends. I have the current FreeBSD handbook but it does not seem to have the answer to the following question. When building and installing an application from ports, how does the original binary or script, in /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /usr/etc..., from the distribution, get removed? The make install foo command does not appear to symlink the original application location to the new one in /usr/local/whatever. Does it even matter? Thank You, Michael D.
