Still running the 32-bit freebsd5.3 , everything worked except the NIC, I thought to myself that probably is because my source is not the latest, from what I understand, this issue has been solved. So with the help from another NIC, I upgraded the system by cvsup. then is make buildworld/buildkernel, etc. After the 2nd reboot into the default mode, my system hang on booting. I disable the ACPI in BIOS and chose 2 when booting, this Fatal trap 9 error showed up with some messages (sorry didn't copy all down), any advice is appreciated. thansk! Yes, I've had that same problem as well (the latter, that is). Where exactly does it hang during boot? The kernel panic is probably caused by a bug or something. Try disabling ACPI _completely_ in your BIOS and then try to boot without ACPI support. Perhaps that will work. Cheers, Jorn.

Worthwhile suggestions for re-configuring need disklabel output. But you can easily move some parts some parts (trees) of /usr elswhere and symlink back to the normal position in /usr.

It ships with GeForce FX Go5600. I've installed the last freebsd nvidia-driver port with WITH_NVIDIA_HACKS=yes option. If I use only the LCD monitor all works fine (for now). The problems come up when I want to use LCD+CRT or LCD+TV both in the TWINVIEW mode off and on. In these cases X starts correctly but when I exit from X then my machine freezes and I see strange colors on my LCD. I've noted another matter also. If I start X with Option ConnectedMonitor CRT, I can see X on CRT only (the LCD is inactive) but when I exit from X the video signal doesn't return on my LCD. Anyway the system is still up in this case and I can run command (blindly) on the virtual console and restart the machine. The same thing happens with TV device. It is as good as the nvidia-driver doesn't reopen the LCD device. Will anybody help me to solve this problem? FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT (early december) and nvidia-driver-1.0.6113_2 resolve partially these problems. Now when I exit from X (both with only CRT/TV and in dual-head configuration LCD+CRT) the machine doesn't freeze and the control is passed correctly to the console. The only problem now is about the CRT in dual-head configuration. When I go to X with nvidia driver (in console mode is all ok) I'm able to see the video signal in both LCD and CRT monitor but in the last one the signal is jolty, unsteady.

RE: php4-cli or mod_php4
Hi, i want to install apache+php+mysql. If i install mod_php i cannot install php4-extension (mysql, etc ...). If i try to install php4-cli and extensions apache doesn't know how to handle .php files . What's the they to go to make apache work with mysql and php ? fBSD is 5.3. Well, up until fBSD 5.2.1 when installing PHP4 and Apache 1.3 using sysinstall, matters would all automatically be swell. Then, the other day I installed fBSD 5.3 on a client's machine, then I did the same trick by installing Apache 1.3, PHP4 + extensions and I tested the combination. A simple 'hello world' script worked a charm, but then I put the actual application on the machine, and all sorts of things would not work! It seems that as of fBSD 5.3, the version that is installed when using sysinstall has a lot less compile options enabled than it used to do previously, one of which being the MySQL support. Here's what I did to solve the issue: 1) Install Apache 1.3, PHP4 (MOD + CLI), PHP4 extensions. 2) Make sure this combination can successfully execute a simple 'hello world' example. 3) Figure out PHP's compilation options (this can be done e.g. using PHPinfo). 4) If possible, compare these options to those of a system on which everything works as it should (I was lucky enough to be able to do so, but perhaps you do not have access to such a system). No write down the compilation options that you're missing in your installation (e.g. something like --enable-mysql, etc.). 5) Go to the proper ports directory, which I think (if memory serves me right here) is something like /ports/lang/php4. Check the Makefile structure, in the beginning of that file you can see PHP's compilation options. 6) Add the missing options to this file. Perform a 'make remove' (to first uninstall PHP4), then perform a 'make all' followed by a 'make install' (I think these were the steps). 7) Restart apache using 'apachectl restart' and check the compilation options again. If you did this process correctly, PHP should work fine now. Note: enabling PHP4 from the Apache httpd.conf file is not that difficult. If your 'hello world' example fails to run, and you can't figure out which configuration options to set in Apache's httpd.conf file, and/or in PHP's php.ini file, please let me know. I've done this several times now, so I can probably help you out with it... Cheerz!

Re: php4-cli or mod_php4

I want to install the latest version 2.0.28 (IIRC) and I haven't yet gotten around to doing so. I was wondering if GD2 can also be added flawlessly like this, or whether GD2 does require a recompilation. Anyway, if you don't know off-hand, it matters not. In that case I shall simply RTFM for the proper installation procedure... Cheers!

Re: drive bootable check?

I like the fact that there is a little bit of a stagger between the drives. is there a better option then rsync'ing? That depends on your goals in this backup. If fast recovery from a drive loss is your only criterion, RAID would be better, but swapping it into a completely different machine might be harder. And neither one protects you from losing the whole machine, of course. 2) How can I verify if this drive is bootable?

Fixed my WRITE_DMA problems by removing vinum
I recently became one of the growing number of users seeing WRITE_DMA-related panics on a regular basis any time I loaded down my system. I'd tried the workaround of running my main 120GB drive in PIO4 mode, but it was unbearably slow and the system crawled during large transfers. I'd been installing FreeBSD on vinum concat volumes for several years for the flexibility in allocating storage (want to grow /usr? Just tack another plex to the end and growfs it). However, I'd noticed that my storage requirements had pretty well stabilized over the last couple of years, and I decided to remove my vinum setup in favor of traditional partitions. When I did that, my WRITE_DMA problems disappeared completely under all circumstances that I've been able to test. I have been totally unable to panic my system (or get any kind of DMA warnings) since the migration. I'm not ready to completely blame vinum for destabilizing my ATA system - I wouldn't testify in court that I didn't inadvertently change any seemingly minor but actually important setting - but the circumstantial evidence seems pretty strong for me. -- Kirk Strauser pgpw2DcLez865.pgp Description: PGP signature

make index broken?
I'm running 5.3 on i386 (built from sources DL'ed via CVS on
2 Dec 2004) and a ports tree (complete) that was downloaded via
CVS on 2 Dec 2004. My src tree is pulling from the RELENG_5
tag and my ports tree is pulling from HEAD. As of a fresh CVS
of ports today (6 Dec 2004), I still cannot issue a 'make index'
while in /usr/ports. What am I doing wrong? I keep getting the
following error message (which I also got while running 5.2.1
before upgrading to 5.3):

Before reporting this error, verify that you are running a supported
version of FreeBSD (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/) and that you
have a complete and up-to-date ports collection. (INDEX builds are
not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in
particular, if you are using cvsup, you must cvsup the ports-all
collection, and have no refuse files.) If that is the case, then
report the failure to [EMAIL PROTECTED] together with relevant
details of your ports configuration (including FreeBSD version,
your architecture, your environment, and your /etc/make.conf
settings, especially compiler flags and WITH/WITHOUT settings).
Note: the latest pre-generated version of INDEX may be fetched
automatically with make fetchindex.

question on portupgrade and FreeBSD branches
Hello, I am new to the FreeBSD ports collection system and am having some difficulty understanding how the ports collection works with the FreeBSD branches. After having perused the ports collection doc on the FreeBSD website, I got the impression that it is the FreeBSD branch tag that determines which versions of the packages or ports will be installed/upgraded. But this is somehow confusing to me when I need to upgrade a port. Here is an example. I have FreeBSD 5.3 installed via CD so it appears to me that the branch tag used by my installation is 5.3-RELEASE. I installed a bunch of packages from the CD, then updated the ports collection using the CVSup. Now, if I use portupgrade to upgrade a package, on which branch will it look for the new ports? One example is KDE. I had version 3.3.0 installed via the ports collection but now there is a new 3.3.1 version out there, which appears to be on the 5.3 STABLE branch. But can I simply use the portupgrade on my 5.3-RELEASE to upgrade KDE to the 3.3.1 port? rain - Do you Yahoo!?

Packages are slightly different, since the resulting binaries will be different when compiled on FreeBSD 5.x vs 4.x (new compiler, updated libraries, etc.) I don't use packages myself, and I don't use portupgrade at all, so I don't know exactly what it will do in your case, but I suspect it will do the right thing and work fine. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Dear FreeBSD, I am very interested in your BSD system. It seems to be the most compatible with the Intel hardware, and was the only of the main trio that worked on my current Dell Inspiron 2600. As of yet, I have read on your website, you do not support the Macintosh platform. Do you have any estimates as to the full completion of this system?

FreeBSD PowerPC Porting
Have you approached Apple for the source code they use in OSX? I thought open source meant that you could use the code but any changes / modifications had to be made available to the originator and the community under terms of most open source licenses. I would class the entire port that Apple did as a huge change. I am not a UN*X user, nor do I understand most of UN*X, although my reasons for visiting your site and for making the above suggestion are as follows: 1. Whilst I am currently using a Dell PC with Windows XP, it was the cheap way to get myself back onto the Internet following the demise of my, old, but very much loved Apple Mac. I am still a Mac user and wish to return to the platform soon. 2. There is a lot of buzz about Linux but to me, just the image that UN*X has sells it every time [OSX was great, I did not access the underlying UN*X but felt a warm glow knowing it was there :-)] save to say the years head start, the power and everything the goes with. 3. I love open source, I think it is a great concept and quite a lot of the best technologies out there are open - MySQL, Apache, some UN*X (stuff SCO and their Microsoft backers) and also a great deal of good freeware is developed open source (Shareaza is by far the best P2P client on Windows, powerful, intuitive, clean looking, free, spyware and ad free and open). 4. Most of All - I think that the development of PPC FreeBSD code by the originators of the code would keep the PPC code centralised, up to date with other ports and most of all, help Apple (if they are then willing to use your code base).

This is not true on (even halfway recent) FreeBSD systems where SFTP is enabled by default. Anyway, if you're dead set on using it, see if you can enabled verbose logging either on the client or the server.

I'm running 5.3 on i386 (built from sources DL'ed via CVS on

CVS on 2 Dec 2004. My src tree is pulling from the RELENG_5

not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in
particular, if you are using cvsup, you must cvsup the ports-all
collection, and have no refuse files.) If that is the case, then
report the failure to [EMAIL PROTECTED] together with relevant
details of your ports configuration (including FreeBSD version,
your architecture, your environment, and your /etc/make.conf

However, I can tell you something that will help you just about any time you need a record of an error message. Of course you can use script to record all the console stuff from every compile, but you probably won't do that, so assuming you compile at a virtual tty, do this: vidcontrol -PH /dev/ttyv# ~/save.txt where # is the number of the ttyv. -P dumps the video buffer in human readable form and -H makes it include the whole scrollback buffer, not just the visible screen. You can do this from the ttyv where the disaster occurred, but generally I switch to another one. Of course, you can make the filespec anything you want rather than ~/save.txt .

Problems umount-ing dead NFS
Hi everybody, I am very confused about how to actually unmount a NFS filesystem that has gone stray. I am currently writing a script that switches between the main and backup servers according to their state, but when testing it, everything seems to halt at unmounting the dead fs. I tested it by mounting an export on a client, and then changing the server's IP address or switching it completely off. When umount (or umount -f) is called on the client to detach the dead filesystem before mounting the export of the backup server, it stood still. Some googling informed me that rebooting is the only way to get rid of the stale fs but others say that a umount -f should free up the mount if it is mounted soft. The flags I use are -3isl -R1 -t5 -D5 -r32768 -w32768 and still I can't unmount it. Please give me a hand... any help would be appreciated. - Jeremy ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
