BTX: Error: Client format not supported

2002-08-30 Thread Paulius Bulotas

Hello,

upgraded to todays morning current from DP1, and btx loader complains about
$subj, which as I see from btxldr.s means, I'm missing something ;) in
ELF format:
cmpl $0x464c457f,(%ebx) # ELF magic number?
je start.3  # Yes
movl $e_fmt,%esi# Display error
And that something should be /boot/loader, but it's ELF ;)
What should I do now? ;)

TIA
Paulius

make release (CURRENT) on 4.6 build machine?

2002-08-30 Thread

Hi, I recently started building -current daily on my
4.6-STABLE build machine.After buildworld and -kernel
I install via nfs on my testboxes. So far Ihaven't
been able to provide any relevant feedback, but it's
fun and I'mlearning :-)Now, I would like to 'make
release' for CURRENT, as I'm doing for RELENG_4and
RELENG_4_6, so I can automate the installation process
on my testboxesSo far I have not been successful.Can
someone give me a clue about why I'm getting signal 12

/boot/loader problem

2002-08-30 Thread walt

After make world/kernel yesterday I get this error from the bootloader:

BTX version =0.00 (instead of 1.01)
Client format not supported.

and then it hangs.  I have to do a hard reset to reboot at that point.

I can still boot with /boot/loader.old which works fine.  I see that
today's /boot/loader is 10kb smaller(166960) than loader.old(176128).

I'm going to try updating again now to see if the problem goes away.

When boot2 starts to do its spin, hit a character and then type in
/boot/loader.old to boot off your old loader.  Once you've booted,
mv /boot/loader.old /boot/loader, then update to the latest sources
and you should be fine on your next rebuild.

BTX Loader issue with today current

2002-08-30 Thread Edwin Culp


Trying to boot with today's current I am getting 

GTX Loader 1.0 BTX Version 0.00
Error: Client format not supported

Anyone have any ideas to be able to boot. 

Thanks,

I haven't seen murphy for a while but boy did he show
up today. (I don't think I have ever rebooted both my
machines here at home simultaneously, before to keep
this from happening.)  Someday, I'll learn.

Re: USB slowdown on recent -current [PATCH]

2002-08-30 Thread Maksim Yevmenkin

Hackers,

please find attached patch for UHCI that fixes bus hanging
after a device has been unplugged. i can not provide a patch
for OHCI because i do not have hardware to test.

after looking into this in more detail i found a somewhat
similar patch in PR kern/37928.

also if someone can comment on
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2001/04/13/0022.html
regarding to FreeBSD.

another problems i'm having with USB are

1) when i put my laptop into docking station it somewhat hard
   to attach USB device. i'm getting device problem errors
   (see attached usb.errors file). however if i try to plug/
   unplug device several times then it works. perhaps something
   is wrong with USB hub in docking station? there is no such
   problem when i connect device directly to the laptop, i.e.
   no docking station.

2) there is bug somewhere which i can reproduce at will with
   my hardware. it seems that USB stack missing one interrupt
   transfer from the device. in only happens when driver re-opens
   USB pipes, i.e.

1) Device plugged
2) Driver open USB pipe
3) Driver sends control request
4) Device sends interrupt transfer 1
5) Device sends interrupt transfer 2

6) Driver closes USB pipe
7) Driver opens USB pipe
8) Driver sends control request
9) ??? no interrupt transfer 1 ???
10) Device sends interrupt transfer 2

if i re-plug device than everything works again. i can
reproduce it with both my driver and ugen driver.

any clues?

thanks,
max

  Note: this is _the_only_ change i made. the rest of the

 That's interesting and was going to be my suggestion.
 Unfortunately there's a nasty bug in there without that defined, which
 I've not managed to track down yet.  If you come across it please let
 me know privately and we'll try and nail it.  It manifests itself as the
 bus hanging after a device has been unplugged.

[long] Server motherboard recommendations for 4.X/5.X?

2002-08-30 Thread Clifton Royston

  [I'm posting this query separately on the freebsd-current and
  freebsd-stable mailing lists, so as not to cross the streams.  If you
  subscribe to both and see it both places, no need to reply to both.]

  We are about to spec and buy a new central mail server at LavaNet,
and we want to be sure that the motherboard/CPU combo we buy runs well
both with FreeBSD 4.6/4.7 (at the time we install it) and also down the
road when we upgrade to what's now -CURRENT, probably around 5.1.

  This server will initially be in a non-redundant configuration
(because of the difficulty of virtualizing mailspool access) so our
major concerns are stability, stability, disk I/O performance, and
stability.  We'd like to have console video, IDE (for CD-ROM), SCSI,
and at least 2 100BaseT LAN ports integrated on the motherboard because
of our experience that this improves reliability.  The Intel Ethernet
chipsets and the Adaptec SCSI chipset are pluses, because they've given
us good performance under both BSD/OS and FreeBSD.  Disk storage will
be external RAID, probably 10Krpm SCSI drives striped as RAID 1+0, on
an Ultra-160 SCSI bus back to the main server. Eventually we might
migrate to serving or mounting files via NFS, which would make GigE a
plus.  CPU performance is not a concern because disk I/O dominates
performance on most mail servers; we'll probably put 1.8GHz CPUs into
it due to price.

  We've settled on a dual P4-Xeon board on grounds of wide support and
expected stability.  (No Intel-AMD holy wars please; we may try out
dual Athlon MP boards like the Tyan K7 on a different server.)

  The Tyan Thunder i7500 *tentatively* looks like a good candidate to
us.  It meets all the above criteria, uses the Adaptec 7899 onboard
2-channel Ultra-160 SCSI controller (equivalent to 39160), has an Intel
82550 (10/100) and 82544GC (10/100/1000) LAN port, takes up to 6 slots
of ECC PC2100/PC1600 DDR RAM, and has multiple 64-bit/133 MHz PCI-X
slots for expansion.  It uses the AMI BIOS and Intel E7500 chipset.
  http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderi7500.html

  If anybody is using these boards and is either unhappy or happy with
their FreeBSD compatibility, I'd very much like to hear.  Otherwise, if
you have a favorite P4-Xeon high-integration server board that meets
the above criteria and you know it works with both 4.x and -CURRENT,
we'll happily take recommendations.

  If anyone wants to also recommend us a favorite rackmount server
integrator, that wouldn't hurt.  We're aware of FreeBSDSystems, ASA
Computers, IXsystems, Arista IPC, and California Digital (formerly VA
Linux) and have bought from the last few.  We're particularly looking
for one who can provide a system with dual power supplies fed from two
separate power cords, similar to what you find on a high-end router or
switch; we're thinking a 4U system for ease of adding any expansion
cards we might need down the road.  We'll install the OS, etc. but if
we can take the assembly time off our hands that would be nice.

  Thanks in advance for any answers,
  -- Clifton

I just installed the misc/mc package from 4.6 and midc is fully colored

Does midc use/read some config file that says no color?

IMHO, it has been corrected, and was incorrect before.

FWIW, this would also appear to be the opinion of the current maintainer

I believe that these are fixed by not using an incorrect termtype (e.g. 
'xterm-color', which refers to another terminal type altogether).

  Ache, have you read bin/41143?
 
 To fix what you mean, just moving 'xterm-color' entry additional color
 capabilities directly to 'xterm' entry and making 'xterm-color' as 
 alias to 'xterm' will be enough to fix PR.

Hmmm.

Except that 'xterm-color' is widely used as a cap for an older (and 
incompatible) termtype, as stated in the PR.

And the author of xterm has widely criticised FreeBSD's incorrect 
handling of other attributes. To the point where he has documented the 
brokeness in his FAQ, and specifically advises to use the termcap 
supplied with 'xterm'. Again, as stated in the PR.

before.
