sym(4) broken on amd64 (Time to port new driver?)

[Sergey N. Voronkov]

Looks like it is broken for a while - _sym_calloc2: failed to allocate HCB
is always there... 

And... Looks like Gerard Roudier havn't more interest in maintaining this
driver - there is the second generation of the original driver into linux
source three since 2001, which is newer ported to FreeBSD by the author. And
FreeBSD hooks was removed from the driver code...

May be it is a time to port siop(4) from NetBSD?

Re: 4.7 messed up my mandrake-lilo config

 I installed 4.7 in a free partition on a machine that has a Lilo

 After installing the FreeBsd Boot Manager, I get following options:
 
 F1 ??
 F2 Linux
 F3 ??
 F4 FreeBSD
 
 F4 works and F1 boots into Win2K.
 F2 and F3 beep at me but do not boot anything.
 
 Please tell me how I can correct this and boot mandrake linux from this 
 menu. At least until FreeBSD knows how to handle my SIS900 network card, 
 I do need Mandrake!!!

Do NOT install FreeBSD bootmanager into MBR unless you have LILO installed
into partition (hda2(1?) in your situation)!

Now you can repare Mandrake booting using Linux fixit disk. Reinstall LILO
and all will be just fine.

To learn more, please see Chapter 9 of the FAQ.
