installing freebsd: only detects 4mb ram
ok, a long time ago I installed freebsd on an old beast. it has been faithfull to me for a few years now. I want to reinstall it with 5.4STABLE (not upgrade, I want to start fresh). But it only detects 4mb of ram. it actually has 98mb of ram and I remember I had to recompile the kernel to get freebsd to detect the rest of the ram. but i can't remember how i managed to install it. I see the faq says I need 5mb and for 5x I need 8mb. I can't put the drives in another system because it's an old compaq raid array and I have no machine where these drives would fit into. Is there any other possible way to install this machine ? perhaps over nfs ? or a paramater at boot to detect the rest of the ram ? tx e. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problem with Realtek 8139C and 8139D NIC in 5.4
Hiya Guys I've recently started playing with FreeBSD. I use it at home on a pc for our ADSL connection, just for that added security. Worked fine with 5.2, except that my WiFi connection was a little buggy, so I decided to upgrade to 5.4 After installing 5.4, my ed(4) card stopped working. It's quite an old card, so I decided to upgrade it as well. Got myself a new RTL8139D card, and installed it only to keep getting the error that it couldn't map ports/memory. The system has 2 other NICs in in as well, A RTL8139A, and a Gigabyte Super 108 NIC using the ath(4) driver. Uninstalled the other Realtek Card, same problem. Uninstalled the WiFi, same problem, Uninstall ALL other NICs in the system and only leave in the 8139D, problem still persists. Over to plan B, get another NIC from another unused PC. This time it's an 8139C. Same problem still. I'm really out of options. Any way to resolve this issue? I'm kinda desperate to get my system up and running again. System Specs: AMD Duron 700 Gigabyte GA-7IX Motherboard (quite old I know, but the PC just stood there doing nothing :) 3dfx Voodoo Banshee AGP Display (see M/B note) RTL8139A NIC (dunno where I got this one) RTL8139D NIC Gigabyte GN-WPEAG Wifi NIC 128MB Ram 6GB HDD Thanx for all the help.

SCSI Zip drive questions
Hello. I've got a SCSI Zip drive which I'd like to use on a 5.4 box. So far it works with two minor problems: a) I'd like to be able to mount it as my day-to-day user. So I put myself in the operator group; added the following to /etc/devfs.conf: own /dev/da1root:operator perm/dev/da10660 own /dev/da1s4 root:operator perm/dev/da1s4 0660 Then the following to /etc/fstab: /dev/da1s4 /mnt/zipmsdos rw,noauto 0 0 The issue here is that mount /mnt/zip will fail because /dev/da1s4 does not yet exist. First I need to try and mount /dev/da1, then da1s4 will be created. Is there a way to automate this? b) It's *slow*! The same hardware with a different operating system (OS/2) gave almost twofold performances! Copying a 90MB file to a zip drive takes more than 10 minutes and it didn't with the old software. Is there a way to improve this?

You have 4.11 or 4-stable but not a combo of both. No one will have a similar system to see what you can do to fix a problem until you have a consistant system with what other people are also running. If you are running a 4.11 system, you need to upgrade all of your ports to 4.11. There is on the order of a year between the release of 4.7 and 4.11. I have forgotten to write, I have made a full upgrade to 4.11 of the base system by means of sysinstall. The most part of the applications installed come from 4.7, but the system is a 4.11. Depending on the needs, I compile from both the ports collections, sometimes modifying them. I have never found problems, except with well-known broken apps. I'm often exhausted, therefore I forget what I am using, but the cause is definitely other than FreeBSD. I cannot stay without it, expecially for storage purposes. I'm testing the Radeon chipsets from 9250 to 9800. The XFree86 Organization will have documentation on what cards it supports. You will have to track them down and see what cards are supported. The newer ones may only be fully supported on Xorg. That doesn't work very well on 4.x and you should consider updating to FreeBSD 5.4. There is an iso that you can download and burn on to CD-R material. Thank you for having suggested me Xorg. It should work, even if it seems 9250 has to be excluded from any kind of machine.

Re: downloading entire directories
On Fri, 20 May 2005, Tony Shadwick wrote: There are two ways you could do this. The first is like so: I believe there may be a third way.

Don't know which server(s) suppor(ed) this feature though. Long run something like rsync or unison are better options though.

20 snapshot limit per filesystem?
Hi, I was just wondering how much overhead would be incurred by increasing the 20 snapshot limit on mksnap_ffs ? I use hard links to get snapshot-like functionality under 4.x. I can recover accidentally deleted files for up to 30 days. I was hoping I could switch to snapshots without crimping this strategy... By the way, how do snapshots interface with user disk quotas? I assume files which exist only in a snapshot aren't counted by the quota system. Thanks for any advice!

Re: portaudit: recommended packages can't be installed
* Robert S [2005-05-21 13:29 -] Are fixes not necessarily made available when security vulnerabilities are found? No, fixes are not *necessarily* made available, although the most often are. As Kent pointed out, your specific problem should long be fixed. See the thread about portaudit and wget from just the other day, and you will realize that fixes are not necessarily being commited once a security flaw has been found. Also -- is there a similar utility to portaudit and freebsd-update, that can be used on the base operating system (not through ports)?

No, that's ok. The synchronization takes some minutes. The '1' indicates that PLL updates enabled, but it doesn't tell you much about the actual PLL/FFL mode. About weak batteries - I run ntpd on a i386 machine that had no battery inserted w/o any problems. I am still not sure why we do not see the new NTP4 mode shift to FLL, as with the FreeBSD computer. Maybe the /var/log/messages are just implemented differently on NetBSD 2.02. I will watch it occasionally with 'ntpdc -c kerninfo | grep status'. This NetBSD clock is also set to UTC and it seems that I recall that UTC can be improperly implemented when the computer previously had Microsoft Windows installed. The answer to your question is quite simple. The status bit STA_MODE hasn't been implemented in netBSD.

No, that's ok. The synchronization takes some minutes. The '1' indicates that PLL updates enabled, but it doesn't tell you much about the actual PLL/FFL mode. About weak batteries - I run ntpd on a i386 machine that had no battery inserted w/o any problems. I am still not sure why we do not see the new NTP4 mode shift to FLL, as with the FreeBSD computer. Maybe the /var/log/messages are just implemented differently on NetBSD 2.02. I will watch it occasionally with 'ntpdc -c kerninfo | grep status'. This NetBSD clock is also set to UTC and it seems that I recall that UTC can be improperly implemented when the computer previously had Microsoft Windows installed. The answer to your question is quite simple. The status bit STA_MODE hasn't been implemented in netBSD.

Traditionally they go under /usr/ports/packages, because that's where they are put if you build a package yourself, but the file itself thank you. that clears that up for me. contains all of the meta-information it needs to install the program if it's possible to screw it up, i'll find the way. i could hire myself out. really. it's a gift. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've already posted a copy of my xorg.conf file. I've since discovered that the display works fine if I login using a standard user account. The problem with the right monitor only occurs if I login as root. (I've been logging in as root while setting up the box.) When logged in as root, the screensaver daemon won't start unless I first type xhost +localhost, and as soon as I try to start the screensaver, the right monitor display turns on.
