Re: Installing make as pmake when WITH_BMAKE specified (was Re: [CFT/RFC]: refactor bsd.prog.mk to understand multiple programs instead of a singular program)
Can someone please explain to me what the original reason is for causing such ridiculously large, far reaching issues? And why people seem to be in a really, really big rush for it?

Garrett,
I don't see how this could be committed -- it will make it difficult
for 10-CURRENT folks to build ports (and there are no pre-build packages
for 10-CURRENT).
Are you not able to use this instead (w/WANT_USRBIN_BMAKE= in /etc/src.conf)?

Garrett, I don't see how this could be committed -- it will make it difficult for 10-CURRENT folks to build ports (and there are no pre-build packages for 10-CURRENT). I don't want it committed because Simon's move makes sense longterm: I wanted to offer an alternative as opposed to just being stuck in purgatory and figured that others might benefit from it. We're stuck at a point now that we need to make a break but we also need to ensure that we don't break things too badly for users with older versions of make. Installing our version of make as something other than `make` would at least allow us to use make as pmake in ports, but I realized it would requiring hacking around portmaster, portupgrade, and a number of other tools that expect FreeBSD make to be make and don't have a means of parameterizing make in the environment or on the command line. So looking back now my mitigation solution would not be ideal and would not fix any problems really. Are you not able to use this instead (w/WANT_USRBIN_BMAKE= in /etc/src.conf)? That would be interesting too (and is a lot less involved than my patch), and probably would have less fallout.

Backwards compatibility will need to be maintained for ports because ports has to work on multiple versions of FreeBSD [where bmake isn't yet available/present], so maybe a fork in the road for bsd.port.mk should be devised in order to make everything work.

Interactive tool for installing packages
Hello, Some time ago I've started a thread on freebsd-ports@ regarding an interactive tool for installing packages under FreeBSD - pkg_add_it. Now that I got some time to work on the program, I have added a few additional features to it, which I think someone might find useful like: - dependencies tree view of packages (useful to find out package dependencies) - a similar tool that does this already exists - pkg_tree, but it only works for installed ports, while pkg_add_it can show you every package from INDEX - regex support - displays categories and packages from each of them found in INDEX - some code improvements, etc... The code can be found here [1] and in order to install the program, you need to: # git clone git://git.unix-heaven.org/public/pkg_add_it # cd pkg_add_it make install clean I still haven't updated the manual pages yet, but you can read something about the program on the web page [2]. Screenshots can be seen as well. [3] Would be nice if someone can test it, and provide some feedback - what can be removed, improved, added, etc.. Surely, there's room for improvement, but that's a start.. :) Thanks, Marin [1] git.unix-heaven.org [2] www.unix-heaven.org/index.php?page=pkg_add_it [3] http://www.unix-heaven.org/pkg_add_it-new-gfx/ -- Marin Atanasov Nikolov dnaeon AT gmail DOT com daemon AT unix-heaven DOT org http://www.unix-heaven.org/ ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Are you installing a 32-bit (i386) FreeBSD 7.0 iso on a 32-bit virtual
machine? Or an amd64 ISO on a 64-bit virtual machine? I would make
sure you are using the right ISO for the virtual machine setup you are
using. VMWare Fusion on a Mac at least purports to support both 32bit
and 64bit FreeBSD.
I had no problems installing Ivan Voras's latest FreeBSD 7.0 +
finstall on a 32bit virtual machine last night.

Re: Are there any known issues for installing FreeBSD on Vmware onwindows XP ?
Hi Greg, I am facing with some issues in getting FreeBSD installed on my machine. I am using Vmware workstation version 5. I am using an evaluation version of it. I downloaded the FreeBSD Release 6.2 from freebsd.org. I downloaded all the 3 ISO images. cd1 , cd2 and docs . I did not write these images on the CD but i mounted them directly on the CD drive of Vmware. I had selected OS Type as Other/FreeBSD at the time of installation. My basic installation got over properly and smoothly without any pains. But, i faced an error when i selected some packages for installation and kde from the packages list. It said 'Could not load package libiconv-1.9.2_2 and gettext... etc'. What could be the issue here? Also what mode should i select when installing the network adapter. Which one should i select. lance/Slip/ppp ? I am using DSL cable internet modem internet connection and the modem is connected to my computer using an ethernet. Further, after installation how should i ensure that all the required kernel sources are installed? Is there any way by which i can install a specific package from from CD and let the OS determine and install all the dependencies automatically? Is there any command for this like we have apt-get in debian? Thanks, Ajay.

Hi Ajay, I wrote in to the list a little while back about VMware installation problems that I had with FreeBSD 6.2, but the issue was completely related to the CPU architecture (Via C3 Nehemiah) that I was using. VMware doesn't officially support that processor, even though it's supposed to be Intel compatible. Another list member sent me a kernel patch that fixed the problem (thanks ghozzy). I also have a WinXP box with a Celeron processor in it and VMware Server installed, and FreeBSD 4.x and 6.x both install and run with no problems at all. If you have any specific questions, let me know and I'll try to answer them. I'm going to be learning a lot more about VMware Server and FreeBSD in the coming months, as I'm working on redeploying my company's service using those tools as the foundation. I hope to share that knowledge with the list as I proceed. I also found this thread (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-October/132 716.html) with some information in it about issues to be aware of while running FreeBSD as a guest OS under VMware. Follow the thread a little way, and you'll see an example kernel config file, too.

Re: Are there any known issues for installing FreeBSD on Vmware onwindows XP ?
Further, after installation how should i ensure that all the required kernel sources are installed? You want the sources to the complete system, not just the kernel, and you would want to keep these upto-date too. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html and, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Is there any way by which i can install a specific package from from CD and let the OS determine and install all the dependencies automatically? Is there any command for this like we have apt-get in debian? 'pkg_add' should be installing dependencies automatically. -- FreeBSD Volunteer, http://people.freebsd.org/~jkoshy ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I set the nics to bridge when I ran this way. Further, after installation how should i ensure that all the required kernel sources are installed? This is only necessary if you want to build a kernel of your own. If you are satisfied with the kernel shipped with the cds (called GENERIC) there is no need. The handbook at www.freebsd.org is a very good starting point and answers many questions. Is there any way by which i can install a specific package from from CD and let the OS determine and install all the dependencies automatically? Is there any command for this like we have apt-get in debian? Yes, this is done automagically when you either add the binary package or when you do make install clean in the source code for it. Again, the handbook answers all this. Thanks, Ajay. On 3/2/07, Greg Larkin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all, Are there any known issues for installing FreeBSD on Vmware on windows XP ?

Follow the thread a little way, and you'll see an example kernel config file, too.

Hello ajay, I have FreeBSD4.9 and 6.2 running under vmware. It's been up and about for a long time. No issues at all so far. The installation is pretty straighforward I seem to remember chosing other/other among the OS templates though.

The issue is not that the C3 is not x86 compatible, because it is completely compatible. The issue here is that vmware is allowing all the CPU features to be advertised to the guest OS, when it does not in fact emulate all those features. The C3 CPU has additional features that Intel processors do not have, like the RNG and AES encryption. Either the guest OS needs to know not to use them, or vmware needs to be smarter and emulate that feature.

His patch prevents the kernel from using the XSTORE instruction that VMware Server doesn't support. Let me know if you need any other information. I don't remember if I cc'd the list or not a few days ago when I emailed ghozzy, but his patch fixed the installation problem I was having, and I no longer get the instruction fault panic when the root filesystem is built. I haven't put the new VM through any strenuous testing yet, but I will be over the next few weeks, and I'll update the list if the system crashes again.

I'm in the midst of building a new ISO, and I'll test it out and let you know what happens. I should have grepped /usr/src for Nehemiah! Do you (or others) think there is any call for either VMware Server detection in the kernel or a kernel config option specifying that the kernel is going to run in a VM? I wonder if patches like this and others would be useful to add to the official kernel sources, since VMware supports FreeBSD as a guest OS? Perhaps there are other kernel optimizations and configuration options that would make sense if the kernel knew it was running in a VM?

installing fbsd from foreign system
Hi hackers! Probably I will be proud to have the chance to support one of Europe's major players in root server hosting for deploying FreeBSD as a target platform for their customers. I need to find a way to integrate the FreeBSD install process into their current deployment system. Currently their install process is running from a Linux install system which does the partitioning, make_fs etc. I found several options to integrate: 1) install a FAT partition, copy a bootable install system in it, boot (bsdboot) an install kernel from FAT partition and begin (unattended) installation (including fdisk, labeling, make_fs'ing). Any thoughts on that? I think this might be the best option. 2) fdisk'ing, labeling and make fs from the Linux system if there are any ported label + fs tools for Linux available - are they? 3) create an ext2 partition and copy the fbsd install system into it and boot from there to begin install process (same as 1 except running from ext2fs). Does a FreeBSD kernel support booting from ext2fs (using mdfs for root-fs)? If so, how? Any better thoughts? Any hints on how to proceed with one of the 3 options? PXE or anything else is not an option. I need to integrate the install process into an existing deployment system. I suspect to be the UFS problem to be the biggest one when it comes to deal with that from a running Linux system. Also as anything needs to run unattended, how do I set FreeBSD to try DHCP on any local interface the kernel can find?

No. 3) create an ext2 partition and copy the fbsd install system into it and boot from there to begin install process (same as 1 except running from ext2fs). Does a FreeBSD kernel support booting from ext2fs (using mdfs for root-fs)? If so, how? That _might_ work, but I haven't tried it myself. Any better thoughts? Any hints on how to proceed with one of the 3 options? PXE or anything else is not an option. I need to integrate the install process into an existing deployment system. PXE would really be the cleanest and easiest way, and it's also very easy to maintain. If you can't do that, maybe you need to re-think your existing deplayment process and make it more flexible ...? Another possibility is to prepare a boot image, i.e. a file containing boot sector and a UFS root partition with wverything needed for bootstrapping (/boot/loader etc., kernel, base system). It doesn't have to cover the whole disk, it should be just large enough for a base system and some support software. It should contain a script which configures the rest of the disk when it's booted (e.g. set up remaining disk space, fetch packages from the net, whatever). From within your Linux deployment process, simply copy the image to the beginning of the hard disk, then reboot. I suspect to be the UFS problem to be the biggest one when it comes to deal with that from a running Linux system. Right, Linux support for UFS is weak, not to mention UFS2. Also as anything needs to run unattended, how do I set FreeBSD to try DHCP on any local interface the kernel can find? The FreeBSD Handbook covers that topic (chapter 25.5).

Issues with installing FreeBSD 5.4 from a DOS partition
Now, I'm somewhat new to FreeBSD, but I've really enjoyed it as an OS so far, and found it to be quite fast, stable, and well laid out. Some things I've found difficult to get used to but I'm by and large quite impressed. Anyway, I set up 5.3 a while back from a DOS partition using the 5.3 boot disks, as I'm using an older 450 mhz pentium III which refused to boot from the CD drive for whatever reason. This went well, but some ports were having issues compiling, and a few other things so I decided to upgrade to 5.4, full clean install. First of all, I don't know if this is just a problem with my hardware, but it seems to me that the 'Install from ftp' option is broken in 5.4 and above - on both the computers I tried, they would hang on a 'part length 0' error most of the way through installing the docs dist - always at the same place, from whatever ftp I downloaded it from. On attempting to install version 6 the same way, I had the same problem on both pcs, in a slightly different portion of the install. So I decided to go the DOS partition route, as it seemed to be the best alternative. This is what I chose to do with 5.3 as well. My method in 5.3 was to first download the 5.3 disc 1 iso image from ftp.freebsd.org, extract the image to the DOS partition and install. However, as you are probably aware, the premade images in 5.4 and above are on two discs instead of just needing the one. Well, this ends up presenting a problem. Also in 5.4, there was a change in the INDEX file of the packages, and it will prompt you as to which CD has the package you want to install, and to please put that CD in. As you might imagine, it's difficult to switch cds when you are in fact installing off of a DOS partition. The fact that it's a DOS partition also makes it difficult to mount the drive beforehand, go into the packages directory and run 'make index'. What I ended up doing to resolve this was to go into the INDEX file in the /packages directory, and switch all the pipes at the end of each line to point to CD_DRIVE 0 instead of the 1 or 2 which they were pointed at. This fixed the problem, and 5.4 installed normally. Now, I didn't see any sort of mention of this anywhere in any docs I could find. The official install instructions didn't say anything about this in the section on installing from a DOS partition, or in the errata, etc. I also couldn't find any docs on how to edit the INDEX file and so on, so it's half luck that I even found a viable solution. I realize that almost all installs these days are going to be straight from an Atapi cd drive, and loading the OS only occurs very rarely, but this hardware is fine for me, and both the ftp and DOS partition are supposedly supported install options - it would be nice if they still worked out of the box, and that issues like what I had happen are at least mentioned somewhere with a workaround. I mean, even just an explanation of how to edit the cdrom.inf and INDEX files to get the install to fly would be great. Or a copy of edited versions somewhere on the ftp with a little note if you want to install all the cd packages from a DOS partition, do this!. On the other hand, pain of the install aside I couldn't be much happier with the OS now that it's up. -Ben Racine ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Installing minibsd inside vmware virtual disk
Hi guys, [the long story] i've a problem while i try to install minibsd inside a virtual disk of vmware3 running on top of FreeBSD. I obtained minibsd scripts form the freesbie cvs, unpacked in a dir on my disk, executed all the scripts and generated a iso containing a complete minibsd system. /* * personal note: minibsd is SO swee * ONLY 15mbs for a working system!!! =) */ Booted vmware with freesbie, mouned the minibsd iso and a 32mb virtual disk previously prepared(see below for some more info), copied all the stuff from the minibsd iso and updated /etc/fstab. Installed the boot code and halted the system. Unmounted all the iso (freesbie minibsd iso), and booted vmware with only virtual disk. It started correctly, executed the boot code, loaded the kernel, decompressed it but when it came to mount / (the previously created fs) it paniced: panic: going nowhere without my init (detaild screenshot here: http://www.gufi.org/~flag/vmware-minibsd-init-signal6.gif) Now, i know i'm missing something very stupid, but i don't know what... /* WARNING: brain fart starts here */ The panic msg seems to be clear: the kernel can't find the init executable so it panics, but: 1) the fs seemed to be ok cause it was mounted with no prob (if it couldn't find the fs i expected a panic during the mount phase Mounting root from ufs:... 2) the init file is present in the created fs (/sbin/init) So here comes the question: why the hell (if the fs is good and it was mounted correctly) the kernel cannot find it? /* End of brain fart */ Uhmmm... probably i should read again the boot section in the handbook or think a bit more but i'm sure there's something REALLY stupid i'm missing...

Re: Invalid realloc size of 0 when installing on an AMD athlonXP barton poweredmachine
Turned out to be a bug in sysinstall when booting from a floppy and installing over a network, I had no problems when I just wrote the ISO but I prefer network install since it takes me about an hour to download the ISO, and by that time I could have the machine up and running if I used network install.

Problem on installing FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE
My computer's hardware are shown below: CPU: Celeron 400MHz Chipset: VIA VT82C691 + VT82C586B BIOS: Award (1998) Hard Disk: Maxtor 4D040H2 (40GB IDE) Memory:2*128MB SDRAM At first, the BIOS couldn't recognize the new Maxtor Disk. I upgraded it to 2001, and it worked. I planned to partition the disk as follow: Primary Partition 1: 7.2GB, FAT32 (running Windows XP Pro) Primary Partition 2: 4.0GB, UFS (running FreeBSD) / = 128MB swap = 256MB /var = 384MB /tmp = 256MB /usr = every thing else Extended Partition: Logical Disk 1 and 2: NTFS (for Windows XP Pro) I setup Windows XP first, and install System Commander 7.04 as the boot manager. During the installation of FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, when the system is making the /dev/ad0s3a, I see warning messages from virtual terminal 2: Warning: Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group to 89. Warning: inode blocks/cyl group (171) = data blocks (64) in last cylinder group. This implies 2048 sector(s) are unallocated. During the format process, I see following messages showing frequently: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices ... done After file system was made, the above messages still show intermittently during the file copy process. Finally, system shows something like this and reboot: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = ... fault code / supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = ... stack pointer = ... frame pointer = ... code segment = ... = ... processor eflags = ... current process = ... interrupt mask = ... trap number = 12 panic: page fault Or something like this: syncing disk ... I changed the options of newfs to -b 32768 -f 4096 -c 16. This time the cylinders per group warning message disappear, and the timeout warnings went out infrequetly, but the install process still can not finish. I tried some other values of block size, fragment size and cylinders/group, they all cannot fix the problem. The same problem occurred when I tried to install FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. After several times of defeat, I turned to FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE, which uses wd driver for hard disks. Except the following warning message, nothing went wrong -- the installation has been completely successful: Warning: the last 2048 sector(s) can't be allocated. I sent this question to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but no one can resolve it. What's the problem with FreeBSD versions that use the ata hard disk driver?

Installing headers and man pages for kmods
Hi there, is there a canonical way to do this? Some time ago the ability to install man pages was removed from kmod.mk. This is reasonable for the system itself, but for third party packages this either forces one to poke in the internals of /usr/share/mk (not an exciting experience) or to fit the source layout to the one expected by the system. The latter is not so nice if you have let's say 6 netgraph nodes, each one with a header file and a man page. You get the c files in 6 per node directories, the man pages in another directory, the header files in a third one. Given, that they are strongly related to each other this is rather unfortunate. At the moment I managed it to include the relevant make file (bsd.man.mk and bsd.incs.mk) from Makefile.inc, but as I suppose, this possibility may be removed at any time. Given that this seems to work, wouldn't it be possible to remove the bsd.init.mk check from those files, so that they can be included from Makefile?

Re: Installing FreeBSD on a 20Gb disc on a laptop with old BIOS
Hi, I'm not sure wether I've had this problem, but to me it seems that the right solution is: * let the IBM DM make that FAT partition, because that's what helps fdisk recognize the correct disk geometry (see the docs) * in the sysinstall delete that FAT partition and make one small slice (no more than 500Mb) which will hold the root filesystem (otherwise the bootloader won't be able to load the kernel) and make the rest a separate slice * in disklabel make the / fs in the first slice (ad0s1a) and the rest of the filesystems in the second slice (ad0s2). The swap can be in either of them two.

problems installing on scsi disks ?
Vanilla x86 system with two identical scsi disks attached to a single 2940. Installation is flawless - in custom install, I choose da0 and then da1, one after the other, to partition. Again, I say, installation goes flawlessly. When the system boots though, it cannot get past the boot manager. I wait for it to time out and go to the default option, but it just beeps. Any attempt to hit enter, or f1, or f5, yields another beep. It will not boot. So, over five successive reloads, I have tried bootloader on da0, nothing on da1, bootloader on both, normal loader on da0, nothing on da1, and normal loader on both. No matter what combo I try with these two, it will not boot when I partition and label these two disks. It just gives me f1 and f5 choices, and hangs forever. (or, when I chose to put the loader but NOT the boot manager on both disks, it just comes up saying missing operating system) Also there are no silly scsi problems like ID conflict or bios not set to boot scsi or whatever. It is set to boot scsi just fine, and we know the disks, etc. are working since the installation goes without a hitch.

Try checking the CHS values when the kernel detects the disk (is available in the scroll-back buffer in one of the vty's) and then change sysinstalls values accordingly.

Problem installing FreeBSD 4.0
-- Forwarded by Satcha Benitez/Milwaukee/RA/Rockwell on 06/16/2000 10:55 AM --- Satcha Benitez 06/16/2000 10:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Problem installing FreeBSD 4.0 Hi, My name is Satcha Benitez and I'm trying to install FreeBSD in a Gateway P5-90. I'm having some problems and i was wondering if you could help me out. This is my first time, although i'm familiar with UNIX. First, i formated the hard drive (i had win95 before) and copied /bin and /manpages from your web site, by using a CR-ROM. I also created the 2 disks, kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. When i boot the computer with the kern.flp disk starts doing some staff and then the computer asks for the mfsroot.flp disk. I insert the disk and the Kernel Configuration Menu pops up. I choose the full-screen visual mode and i get the menu with the active and inactive drivers. I get 8 conflicts so i disable those drivers. Once i hit Q to save and exit i get a bunch of messages After i press Q i get the following messages: avail memory = 26640384 (26016K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc05e7000 Preloaded mfs_root "/mfsroot" at 0xc05e7084 Intel Pentium detected, installing woraround for F00F bug md0 : Preloaded image /mfsroot 2949120 bytes at 0xc0315b98 md1 : Malloc disk npx0 : math processor on motherboard npx0 : INT 16 interface pcib0 : Host to PCI bridge on motherboard pci0 : PCI bus on pcib0 atapci0: RZ 100?

I don't know what to do. I've read all the documentation but nothing. Could you please help me out? I' really appreciate. Thanks a lot. I look forward to hearing from you. Satcha Benitez.

Re: Installing -current
Before I ran into trouble I want to ask if 4.0 supports the 3CCFE574BT NIC? (3com 3c574). It looks that way. I haven't had the occasion to try myself. It worked! To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
Installing -current
Hi, What is the easiest way to install FreeBSD-current? Do I have to install a 3.x release and then cvsup to the -current followed by a make world? Before I ran into trouble I want to ask if 4.0 supports the 3CCFE574BT NIC? (3com 3c574). Right now I'm running this NIC with FreeBSD3.3+PAO on a Thinkpad570 and it works great.

And then run cvsup if you want to update to even more current code. Before I ran into trouble I want to ask if 4.0 supports the 3CCFE574BT NIC? (3com 3c574). It looks that way.
