total hang when cu -l /dev/cuaa0

[C. Kukulies]

I have disabled the SIO on my ASUS P4SX board because I have a PCI modem
card inserted. But the modem card or the sio on it doesn't seem to be detected
by the kernel. Instead I see two sios (sio0 and sio1) which are flagged
as possibly disabled (?) - why are they seen when I disabled them in the BIOS?

When I run getty (or mgetty) on that port or when I do a cu -l /dev/cuaa0
the system freezes.

Need help urgently to get this solved. I've been running a second box 
for months now only to have a working fax/modem .

smallest piece of hardware that runs *BSD?

[C. Kukulies]

1990: In ten years, computers will just be bumps in cables. (Gordon Bell)

Remember that quote?

Now, we are not far from that. I'm thinking of some CPU with TP Ethernet
and memory of size of an USB stick. Anyone knowing such or having
experience?

spambouncer tags much freebsd list mail as spam

[C. Kukulies]

I installed the spambouncer.org procmail script and before I was switching
the behaviour from SILENT to COMPLAIN I took a look at my spam.incoming folder
and found a lot of messages from freebsd-bugs and freebsd-mobile in there.

Both lists are not directed to folders prior to spambouncer coming into effect
so they are trapped by spambouncer and I suspect that other freebsd lists
would be trapped as well.

Anyone experienced similar?

Anyone running FreeBSD on blade systems?
Recommendable hardware vendor?

off topic - disk crash

[C. Kukulies]

Today an important (no backup of course) 46 GB IBM Deskstar
IDE disk crashed. It has a FreeBSD 4.8 on it with important data and programs.
Yes, shame on me that I didn't care about doing backups on it but it
has happened.

I evend tend to expend the bucks to get it recovered but a little
prediagnosis I would not to be left untried.

The disk boots into FreeBSD but already at power on time the disk does
seek retries or some recalibration noise.

The question is what else can I do to recover the data.
Put it in the icebox? Turn the computer upside down?

Any ideas would be welcome.

I thought of getting a second identical disk to exchange electronics
only but since it partially functions it looks more like surface corruption,
doesn't it?
