/usr/src/release/Makefile patch
Hi,
Could you please consider the following patch to
/usr/src/release/Makefile? It may not be entirely correct,
but it allows a 'cd /usr/src/release && make release' to
run to completion. In the kernel makefile, 'kernel'
is not a target, ${KERNEL} is, and ${KERNEL} has the value
'GENERIC'.
Comments welcome!
Thanks!
John

I assume anybody who wants to use gigabit Ethernet over significant distances *will* use RFC 1323, if they are interested in any performance at all. Otherwise the 64 kbyte window will kill you. As for me, I have tested the driver with Netgear cards. Works great here, I got 470 Mbps (effective application to application) with ttcp, running back to back on a PII-350 and a Celeron 300A (overclocked to 337, thus PCI bus clocked at 37.5 Mhz). The limit in my case is clearly the CPU. However I did *not* see any better performance when I turned on jumbo frames. Next I'll put one card in an old PPro-200 and see what I can get from that.

Feedback on new drivers (was: Re: Anybody actually using gigabit ethernet?)
There should be a more general mechanism for this. I have the same problem with the USB stuff. 100+ people on the usb-bsd mailing list and only answers to directed questions. What about, like 'HEADS-UP', a 'FEEDBACK: ' message that should invite people to send 'it works' messages. And maybe provide a template of commands to cut and paste. Something like: (echo it works for me uname -a ident dmesg | grep '^' ) | mail -s "" per...@address assuming that people are too lazy to type things in themselves.

You didn't read what I said. I don't have a gigabit ethernet switch. I only have cards. Therefore the *only* way I can test the operation of the driver and adapters is to connect two machines with gigabit cards back to back with a patch cable. This automatically implies 'using gb end-to-end.' As for corruption due to TCP sequence number wrapping, I don't know what to tell you. I never noticed such behavior in my tests, but that's why I'm asking for feedback from other people. -Bill -- = -Bill Paul(212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wp...@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wp...@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City = "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" = To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Anybody actually using gigabit ethernet?
I'm wondering if anybody out there has actually done any experimentation with gigabit ethernet boards using the Alteon Tigon driver. I know that it works on my hardware, but it's nice to actually have some feedback from people so that I know if it's actually working worth a damn. So far I have not heard a peep out of anybody, other than a couple of people who were nice enough to help out with some driver testing, and that was months ago. I usually consider this a good thing, because it means that at least nobody is complaining. But when people ask me "hey Bill, how well do these boards work with FreeBSD?" all I can tell them is that they seem to work okay in my limited test environment. This does not exactly provide a lot of motivation to go out and buy some gigabit ethernet cards. Also, I only have access to a limited selection of cards (I have a 3Com and a Netgear board, and others have tested AceNIC boards) so I don't know for sure if some of the ones that I claim to support actually work. (I don't have any reason to believe they won't, but Murphy's Law applies.) I also don't have access to a gigabit switch, so my testing is limited to blasting traffic between two hosts through a fiber patch. So, if anybody is actually using a Tigon-based gigabit board with STABLE or CURRENT, let me know. Is it working reliably? Is performance good? Is it bad? Inquiring minds want to know. -Bill -- = -Bill Paul(212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wp...@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wp...@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City = "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" = To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Make World Fails - minor and major conflict
I am running -current SMP as of last week.
I cvsup'ed last night and started a 'Make -j12 world'.

That must be why my 164lx won't netboot. Could well be. My Aspen Alpine refused to with a DE500. A DE435 (10mbit only) worked just dandy.

> tell phk thanks this ones related to his changes to types.h as well
phk has another patch in the pipeline right now that fixes this (ie:
major() etc become macros again in userlant.) I'd have jumped in and
tweaked types.h to fix this particular problem, but that would be just
adding more deltas to dead-end code. I think phk was planning a
checkpoint commit sometime shortly. If he gets delayed, I'll give types.h
a tweak to avoid the problems and to buy some time.
Please remember, this is -current, we've got to expect things to be broken
every so often - but on the other hand, staying broken for too long is an
inconvenience for the developers who -current is intended for.

Re: SPAM
here's an idea..
why not have two addresses for the list.
the first would be the public address, and would be restricted to subscribers.
the second would be a non-published address, which would be unrestricted,
and would feed the published list via a side door.
only the first list would be open for subscriptions.

ROOTDEVNAME changes break MFS_ROOT only kernels
Prior to the ROOTDEVNAME changes, I used to build embedded kernels with MFS_ROOT and MFS_ROOT_SIZE options, plus the config line as: config foo root on wd0 but _without_ any disk devices or disk controllers. The "root on wd0" on the config line was to satisfy the config(8) syntax, but was overriden by the use of MFS_ROOT AFAIK. After the ROOTDEVNAME changes, the kernel always tries to mount a root file system from a _device_ regardless of the MFS_ROOT option. Such a kernel will always panic with: "error 6: panic: cannot mount root (2)". FWIW, this is the kernel config file for an embedded kernel (called gizmo): # # GIZMO -- A little gizmo thingy. # machine "i386" cpu "I386_CPU" ident GENERIC maxusers2 options MATH_EMULATE# Support for x87 emulation options INET# InterNETworking options MFS # Memory filesystem options "COMPAT_43" # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options UCONSOLE# Allow users to grab the console options FAILSAFE# Be conservative options MFS_ROOT# Use a memory file system as root. options MFS_ROOT_SIZE=2048 # Space for MFS root filesystem. options INIT_PATH="/gizmo" config gizmo controller isa0 device npx0at nexus? port IO_NPX irq 13 device sio0at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 11 iomem 0xd8000 pseudo-device loop pseudo-device ether Nice and simple, but after the ROOTDEVNAME changes, it cannot work. Sulk. The ROOTDEVNAME stuff needs to be fixed to allow this. Local disks and disk controllers should be optional. -- John Birrell - j...@cimlogic.com.au; j...@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
