kgzipped -STABLE GENERIC kernel boots on one machine, not the other

1999-08-31 Thread Mark J. Taylor
I've got a -STABLE GENERIC kernel, cvsupped and built this evening, that is all alone on a UFS floppy, and kgzipped. My P-133 boots the -STABLE kernel fine. My AMD-K6/2 400 stops immediately after "Uncompressing kernel ... done". The same systems both can boot a -CURRENT GENERIC kgzipped kernel

newfs of a ccd failing?

I've had this problem since at least FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE (it works in 2.2.7/2.2.8). Same problem in 3.2-RELEASE and -current (as of last night). Can someone reproduce this error? I can't believe that you can't newfs a ccd... did I miss something? spiffy# ./ccdtest.sh [snip] newfs /dev/rcc

Since I am currently experimenting with BOOTP in -current, I patched ONLY vfs_conf.c and vfs_subr.c with your rootfsid changes. Works fine in a BOOTP configuration. -current sources are as of last night. I can now boot a -current system from only a floppy disk with a (kgzipped) kernel on it!

e could take a look at this and commit a fix (possibly this one). John? Poul? Peter? Without a similar fix, I don't think that BOOTP kernels will not work (as specified in the file /usr/share/examples/diskless/README.BOOTP). -Mark Taylor NetMAX Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.

I'm attempting to boot a -current system (from 4 days ago) off of a modified GENERIC kernel floppy disk, and it is failing in kern/vfs_conf.c's vfs_mountrootfs routine, with a message: rootdev=0x error=6, panic: cannot mount root(2) rootdev is NODEV, and err is ENXIO. The isc-dhcp

This may be related: There is a long as a parameter to ccdbuffer that needs to be a u_long. Otherwise, you'll get panics (can't remember where). Basically, bcount needs to be a u_long in all cases. I haven't gotten around, because of the NetMAX for Linux project, to comitting things like this t

Are you trying to configure your entire system using LDAP as the database backend, or are you trying to serve current system info? If you are trying *configure* the system using LDAP as a database, then good luck. Our company, Cybernet Systems, has spent over ten man-years developing a HTML-bas
