atapicam still failing (9/8/03)
Cvsupped earlier today (9/8/03). Everything went fine with the build/install. In fact, the new kernel booted just fine in single-user mode (with the old modules, of course). However, after completing the installworld, etc. and rebooting, I got a hang after probing acd0 with the message: acd0: unknown transfer phase Rebooting the old kernel, rebuilding a new kernel without atapicam or any of the SCSI devices cured the problem. -- Conrad Sabatier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - "In Unix veritas" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
jdk 1.4.1 exception trying to detect network interfaces (IP address)
I've been running freenet (successfully) under jdk 1.4.1 for several weeks now.

Re: /dev/acd*t* no longer available in -current?
Please disregard. I discovered it was just that I was using single-digit track numbers (e.g., acd0t1), whereas leading-zero numbers were expected (e.g., acd0t01).

I've been using a homemade CD ripping script under -stable that uses dd with the acd0t* devices. Unfortunately, these seem no longer to exist in -current, or am I mistaken? I'm still a bit perplexed by devfs, to be honest. Is there any way to create these devices (if they are still supported, that is)?

Someone may correct me, but that's the impression I got from reading the docs.

A few questions
I just upgraded a 4.7-STABLE box to current over the weekend. Went off very well, thanks to the great documentation in UPDATING. It's odd, though, that after upgrading again just a few days later, suddenly X (or perhaps just xdm) failed to start due to an unresolved symbol. I had already upgraded X, as well as many other ports, after upgrading to -current, btw. It seems very peculiar that a cvsup just a few days apart from the previous one would require X to be rebuilt. On another note, can someone clue me in as to why I'm getting all these "duplicate script" errors when building both ports and world? I've looked high and low and can't find the reason for this. Seems harmless enough, but it *is* just slightly annoying. And finally, is there a simple way to ensure that none of the debugging code (including INVARIANTS stuff) is included during a buildworld? It would be nice if there were a simple switch or environment variable to control this. Please forgive if this is all old stuff; I'm new with -current, and I have made a real effort to find the answers to this stuff myself.

You indicate that the procedures listed apply to FreeBSD 3.x and -CURRENT, but this is not so. While the kernel config lines compile fine under 3.x and 4.0, the userconfig script employs the "pnp" keyword to explicitly define which slots/irqs/dmas to probe, but, much to my dismay, this command was eliminated when the userconfig program was reworked for FreeBSD-Current this summer. I am writing to you to inquire as to whether another method (even if less conventional) exists for instructing the kernel to probe all these slots. The kernel syntax doesn't accomodate multiple ports for devices [that I know of], so I've had no luck getting AWE64 support with VoxWare drvs. If you could advise me on a way to get the slots probed right without the "pnp" keyword in userconfig, I'd be most grateful. ------End of forwarded message- -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
