"Fatal trap 18"

[Gary Kline]

This is to any kernel exerts on-list.   I'm more stumped right
now than if I'd seen Elvis and had a DNA confirmation..
A few hours ago I was working away on another server while ssh'd
into tao.thought.org.  When I realized it wasn't responding,  I
buttoned over on my KVM to find the first fatal err in years. Maybe
the first ever since FreeBSD 2.0.5.  It read

"Fatal trap 18" blah**3

...

"panic: integer divide fault".


I've lost several hundred gig, but nothing I can't replace.  What
gets me is that no matter how I Set the BIOS, it always boots --or
tries to-- from the single hard drive.  I have all three set to
"CDROM"; no matter I run into the boot error. I have managed to get
to the menu of misc choices.  "boot /boot/kernel.old" works, but it
says to hit return and then instead of booting to the older
kernel, it hits the fatal trap.  It's like there are bloody
ghosts in the system:)

So what's the bottom line?  This 5-year-old box has no floppy; I
only have one usable   hand so can't unscrew another floppy drive
and boot from that [[&c]].  Is there anything I can do to reboot
from the menu-driven list?

tia, folks,

gary

PS:  I was building gimp when this happened.

PPS: stats: 5.4, #5. ballpark 700Mhz, 3/4th G memory, 200G drive.

Hi all,
   I am running a Azureus (headless w/ webui) on my FreeBSD 6.1 system

downloads are slow. It is not because of the torrent. It is my

availability drops too, so I restart Az. and download speeds are as
expected for another couple of hours.

Make sure to limit the number of connections and torrents according to the

You don't have to use a software like winrar. Just download the ISO images
and burn each of them on a CD with a utility like cdrecord/nero/... Then,
put the first CD in your cdrom drive and start your computer. More, you have
to check if your bios try to boot from cd drive.

Sparkling Brand New FreeBSD Admin

[Keith Phipps]

Good Day,

   My name is Keith and I"ve just been promoted to our Unix SysAdmin at 
work. I'll be working with a team of guys in the Ops department but the 
majority are Windows Admins. I'm not completely lost when it comes to 
using *nix, I use it as my Desktop and know Slackware and Ubuntu fairly 
well. I've installed FreeBSD a few times on servers, but that's about 
the extent of my server knoweledge and BSD.


   My duties in the beginning are not going to be that complex, I'll be 
building out boxes, racking them, health checks, running backups, 
generating keys, etc.. However, soon after my promotion date (11th of 
September I start) I'll be given more and more boxes to manage. Most of 
our infastructure is built on BSD, so I'm going to have upwards of 40 
appliances to manage and maintain.


   My questions really come down to this; I'll be working with 4.x and 
6.1 boxes. Are there any global issues with them I should be concerned 
about, something you guys as admins have to deal with regularly. The 
boss also said something that confused me, said I'd need to make the 
builds and compile php, perl, and mysql into the Kernel. I've never done 
much Kernel work (much, lets start with any) but it's always been my 
understanding that with BSD if I wanted to install PHP, PERL, and MySQL 
on a box, I'd just pkg_add it. I've never heard of it actually being 
compiled in the kernel.


   Right now my biggest resources have to be google and the O'Reilly 
book "Essential Sys. Admin." but I'd like to have a reference guide more 
suited to only the FreeBSD platform. Any recommendations on this as well?

Use ISO burning software to burn the CD image you downloaded from the 
FreeBSD FTP site.


I suggest using this program for instance because it's simple and if you 
don't have Nero, Roxio, or DLA, this is an excellent program to use as 
it just utilizes built in components in Windows XP to burn ISOs: 
.

HP MSA1500

[Toomas Aas]

Hello!

Has anyone successfully connected their FreeBSD server to HP MSA1500 
SAN? I googled for it and found that some people are having problems, 
but I hope there are also people out there who are not having problems 
with this setup (and hence have had no reason to post). I'm especially 
interested in multi-path setup using switches.

Re: Sparkling Brand New FreeBSD Admin

[ke han]

Keith, welcome to the party!!!
1 - getting a solid handle on using installing/config/upgrading ports  
is key...
2 - the harder step is being able to "rebuild world" and possibly  
make changes to the "kernel" config.
3 - differences in config files and management between 4.x and 6.1 is  
a bit wide, but well documented.


The above are well covered in the handbook and there are some good  
howtos you can search for as well.
As to your boss's mention of integrating PHP, MySQL "into the  
kernel".. I'm pretty sure you will only need to use the ports  
installs of these apps ;-)


For server deamons (not GUI stuff), FreeBSD is the easiest game in town.

I think that you misunderstood... mod_perl and mod_php can be compiled 
into Apache web server, though.

I found 'AbsoluteBSD' by Michael Lucas useful. I also run OpenBSD on my 
Internet-exposed web and mail servers, and found 'Absolute OpenBSD' by 
Michael Lucas equally useful.

Using 6.1, I'm running against MSA1500, and it's all working.
I'm using Qlogic 2312 FC Adapters, into Brocade switches, and then down

I'm using the 'Solaris' profile setting on the MSAs, and that's working.

Unfortunately I don't think anyone is working on it.  The closest
thing on the horizon is ZFS support which does feature
high-performance snapshots.  This is still a way off though.

You are are right in the case on those utilities.   They do not

memorystick usage on freebsd...now what:-)

Peeps,

I bought this emtec usb storage device and plugged it
into my freebsd6.1 laptop. Dmesg gives:

umass0: vendor 0x13fe USB DISK 2.0, rev 2.00/1.00,

da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 471MB (964608 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 471C)

But now I'm lost
I want to mount this baby, but don't really know how
to proceed. The handbook shows me to go to section
17.3, but there they talk about nasty looking
commands. Can somebody get me up and running quickly?

Can I remove the usb stick safely before mounting it?

I already used it @work on windows to put some files
on it so why won't the mount_msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt
command not work in this case?

Thanks

Well, you didn't quite follow my instructions, but you showed enough

Those directories are completely non-standard.  How did you install
your ports collection?  The gcc41 port is supposed to be in
/usr/ports/lang/gcc41, not /usr/ports/gcc-4.1.1.  Are you really using
the ports collection or did you just download the gcc source code
directly?

17.3 is about partitioning and formatting - you don't need to do any of
that, since you;ve already been able to use the device on another machine.

You can safely remove it anytime it's not mounted.

It's mount_msdosfs, but otherwise that should work.  I've seen devices
where the only partition showed up as /dev/da0s4, so it might be worth
checking which /dev/da0s* nodes were actually created, or run 'fdisk da0'
to see the partition table data.

flash plugin and firefox

[Jordi Carrillo]

This I suppose is the eternal question, but I'm quite sick of looking around
google without having a detailed step by step process to get the flash
plugin for firefox. There are some that talk about tweaking the kernel and
applying patches? Is it really so difficult having the flash plugin for
firefox (compiled one)?
If anyone has the consideration to detail a working solution for the
6.1freebsd release, will be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance for your help,

KDE does not keep it's configuration

[stan]

Last weekend I built a new machine, cvsup'd to current. I built
the KDE metaport, and all seems to work well, _except_ that every
time i log into KDE, from kdm, I am prompted to go through
the inital configuration wizzerd again.

Where is this information stored? Any idea, why it might not
be persistant on my installation?

Hello Ian,

Perhaps you could offer more information explaining what you've tried,
a bit about your network setup, and the results of running dmesg and
ifconfig on one of your problem systems? Without that, it will be
tough to help you.

Cheers,
Jason

Re: memorystick usage on freebsd...now what:-)

[Dino Vliet]

There we go...:-) I worked precisely as you said!!
Thanks for the FAST answer.

Made me have to post this to the ubuntu mailinglist:

No sweat...already solved this in FreeBSD. There I
could mount the partition very easily after it was
detected by the kernel and showed up in the dmesg.

Thanks for reading this though.

I'm NOT starting a flame ware, but I will always come
back to FreeBSD!!

Thanks

This works for me.  It's in portugese, but if you don't do portugese,

Re: Why sendmail?

[Atom Powers]

On 9/1/06, Gerard Seibert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I agree for the most part. There is an option to install another MTA
when installing FBSD. However, it might be nice if there were
instructions on how to accomplish the following.

1) Totally shut down Sendmail


How about the handbook?
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail-changingmta.html
The postfix port will also remind you of these changes when you install it.


2) Changes to periodic.conf


The changes to periodic are so trivial, at least for postfix, that no
change are even necissary.


3) How to prevent Sendmail from being built when performing 'buildworld'


That isn't a sendmail/mta question, it's a buildworld question.
Although a footnote in the above part of the handbook would be
apreciated.


I recently replied to a post on the Postfix forum when a user had
installed Postfix when installing FBSD and consequently had no idea why
it was not working correctly. I realize that he should have been better
informed as to how it was to be configured; however, the sysinstall or
if installed via ports, the posts installation routine should have given
a more complete description of what is or should be done to complete the
installation.



I sometimes wish the ports did a more complete install. Perhaps asking
if you wanted to enable them in rc.conf, or reminding you which config
files they use, making chanes to stock config files (rc.conf,
periodic.conf, etc) that are required to enable them, etc. But that's
a complaint that should be addressed to the port maintainers and
really has nothing to do with Sendmail.

By making the Postfix port /not/ disable Sendmail it gives you the
ability to, more easily, run Sendmail *and* Postfix on the same
machine. ie it doesn't break your current configuation.

If it's only the data you want, try a FreeSBIE boot disk. That will
give you access to the file system/network, so you can recover your

upgrading mysql client and server

[Dave]

Hello,
   I've got mysql server and client v4.1 running on a FreeBSD6.x box. They 
were installed via ports not packages using custom make options which i have 
in portupgrade's pkgtools.conf file. I now would like to upgrade both of 
them to v5, without causing dependency issues with installed apps or with my 
databases. What i was wondering is is there an easy way of doing this? I am 
concerned about my databases, i've done mysqldumps on them, but i have to 
manually go in and create information. I'd rather feed the mysql command a 
complete file and have it automatically regenerate everything. I'm also 
concerned about any compatibility issues. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
Dave.

Well, you didn't quite follow my instructions, but you showed enough

Those directories are completely non-standard.  How did you install
your ports collection?  The gcc41 port is supposed to be in
/usr/ports/lang/gcc41, not /usr/ports/gcc-4.1.1.  Are you really using
the ports collection or did you just download the gcc source code
directly?

Have you restarted the system that crashed?  Does it consistently panic

Have you already read the Handbook?

If not, then start here:

Pay special attention to section 2.9 and chapter 27:

The simplest thing to try is the command: "dhclient".

If you've got a DHCP server on your network (perhaps via your ISP or via a 
broadband hub or firewall), this should get your network going.  Then follow 
the Handbook lists others have posted to make your network config permanent.

You don't have the sources of the base system.

From magnesium.net I followed up to-list that  this 2001 
server had n floppy.  So, until I can beg a favor, and swap
in a floppy, I'm totally wedged.  --By the way, it's time to
have a giveaway, so anyone in the metro Seattle area, if you
areinterested in some seriously heavy-duty but slow HP Kayaks,
drop a line.

Greg: I was able to get to the boot screen and hit  "4" [?]
or "5"--whatever thr alt menu is.  I typed

boot /boot/kernel.old

and for a few secs thought that would work.  But upon hitting
return/[Ehter], things reset.  And-or back to the original
fatal trap 18.

This may have been a FS err because I  was pushing  the box
pretty hard.  I was doing a portsupgrade and
installing/reinstalling lots of stuff. 

Whenever I can get somebody to temp swap in a floppy I'll
try FreeSBIE.  MOst of my data is public or personal junk,
but to my amazement, my last backups of taoEtc.tgz was 
(*cringe*) late '01.

Having trouble getting ppp configured on my 6.1 box

[Andrew Falanga]

Hello everyone,

I had to blow away my 6.0 installation and simply install 6.1 release.  I
found out that I would have to update my ports manually and since I don't
have high speed access to the Internet, this just wasn't feasible.

So, after installing (which went smoothly) I'm getting everything working.
I remembered all my configuration files, or so I thought, except for the
ppp.conf file that I was using.  I remember having this problem when I
installed 6.0 but unfortunately, I can't remember how to fix it.  This is
really embarrasing.

ppp works and all, but I can't resolve any DNS hostnames.  Everytime I try,
I get something like "no address associated to the name."  Or something
similar.  Sorry, I'm writing this mail from the Windows OS (one computer
shares the two OS's) and I don't recall the error exactly but that's
basically it.

I was reading through the handbook and the ppp manual page and have tried a
few different things, but haven't gotten it to work as yet.  I called my ISP
to get the nameserver addresses to put in /etc/resolv.conf, and have
confirmed that with "enable dns" in ppp that ppp is updating the
resolv.conffile.  However, I'm still unable to resolve DNS hostnames.

What's the magic that I must perform to make this work?

Thanks,
Andy

100% consistent.  tHe strange thing is that when I set the
boot-order in the BIOS to "CDROM" it's ignored.  (Maybe I
don't have the boot CD?  that occured when I was crawling

HP-1022 laser printer

[Andriy Babiy]

Hello,

Could anybody advise me on the HP-1022 laser printer? Does anyone have this 
model working on the FreeBSD? I'm going to buy it, therefore I wanted to 
check if there are any issues/problems about it. I found postings about "USB 
port busy" problem, but guys didn't specify clearly the platform they used.
Especially, I'm interested in positive experiences.
Originally, I posted the question to freebsd-hardware, with no answer though.
Thank you for your time.

Setting date variable

[Jack Stone]

Without setting multiple (crude) variables, I haven't come up with a good & 
simple way to set the date variable in my "csh" shell script to grab a file 
when the month rolls over.


Like this:

The file I want to copy into another script is in this format that I cannot 
change:


"2006-September.txt"
.
..which will roll next month to "2006-October.txt", etc.

I could use the "date" command to do: 2006-09.txt or maybe 2006-Sep.txt
but I haven't found a simple way to set a variable make date spell out the 
whole name of the month to match the file name.


Any tips on this one?

Best to all,
Jack

This isn't an amazingly difficult upgrade.  However there are a few
gotchas you should be aware of.

*) MySQL 5.0.x is pretty much backwards compatible with 4.1.x -- ie.
   everything that's in 4.1.x is also in 5.0.x (but the converse is
   not true).  On disk data formats may be slightly changed, but you
   should be able to run the mysql_upgrade script to convert everything
   to 5.0.x style.  mysql_upgrade comes as part of the mysql-client-5.0.x
   port/package

   You should certainly take good backups of your 4.1.x databases,
   but if everything goes according to plan, you won't actually need
   to load them into the upgraded MySQL server.

*) Upgrade the MySQL client port and its dependencies first.  MySQL
   client 5.0 will interoperate pretty well with MySQL server 4.1 but
   not necessarily vice versa.  You will also need to recompile
   anything that links against the MySQL shlibs, as the ABI has
   changed between the versions.  Using portupgrade makes that fairly
   simple, and portupgrade's feature of preserving any shlibs removed
   from old ports in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg means the old 4.1
   dependent stuff will still continue to work even after you've updated --
   again, not that you should be planning to use mysql dependent
   programs while upgrading, but having that capability is useful if
   you run into problems.

*) Make sure to shut down the mysql daemon before attempting to upgrade
   it.  I know this is bleeding obvious, but it's also easy to forget.
   Not doing this can lead to data corruption, and in fact the port will
   automatically kill any running mysql at re-install time. But do be sure
   to double check.

The sequence of thing you'll need to do is as follows:

0) You've got good backups, haven't you?

i) Examine the output of 'pkg_info -R mysql-client-\*' and note down
   any daemon processes that depend on MySQL.  You should shut those down
   for the duration of the upgrade process.  Alternatively you could
   drop to single user mode to carry out this whole procedure.

   ii) Edit /etc/make.conf and insert in it:

 WITH_MYSQL_VER= 50

   You can put extra compile time flags for the mysql port into
   /etc/make.conf at the same time.  eg. I tend to use something
   like this, which you should modify to suit your own needs:

 .if ${.CURDIR:M*/databases/mysql*}
 WITH_CHARSET=latin1
 WITH_XCHARSET=none
 WITH_COLLATION=latin1_swedish_ci
 WITH_OPENSSL=yes
 BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
 WITH_INNODB=yes
 WITH_ARCHIVE=yes
 WITH_FEDERATED=yes
 WITH_NDB=yes
 .endif 

   Or you can use the MAKE_ARGS array in pkgtools.conf to achieve a similar
   effect.  (Note that pkgtools.conf only applies to portupgrade et al,
   /etc/make.conf applies generally to any way of using the ports)

  iii) Make sure the database is shut down:

 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server stop

   iv) Upgrade mysql-client, replacing mysql-client-4.1.x in the dependencies
   between your installed ports:

portupgrade -o databases/mysql50-client -f mysql-client-\*

   iv) Upgrade mysql-server, replacing mysql-server-4.1.x in the dependencies
   between your installed ports:

portupgrade -o databases/mysql50-server -f mysql-server-\*

v) Force a recompile of everything else that depends on mysql-client so
   that they all link against the upgraded shlib:

portupgrade -Nfi -r mysql-client-\* -x mysql-client -x mysql-server

   Certain MySQL related ports are specific to one mysql version, such
   as eg. p5-DBD-mysql50-3.0006 or mysql-scripts-5.0.24 and you may have
   to use the 'portupgrade -o port/name -f pkg' style of command to get
   them upgraded properly.

   vi) Restart mysql-server.  Immediately run the mysql-upgrade program:

mysql_upgrade -v -b /usr/local -d /var/db/mysql -u root

   (Will prompt you for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] password to the DB)
   That should fix up anything that needs fixing, especially the user
   grant tables.

   Examine /var/db/mysql/$HOSTNAME.err to see if there are any obvious

So there is no way to boot from install disc-1 of FreeBSD?

This should at least give you a chance to boot from the install disc,
and then insert the FixIt CD-ROM to start investigating what is wrong,
as Greg Lehey suggested :)

Device Drivers and Kernel Modules

[David Wassman]

I am trying to figure out which would be best, to load all the device
drivers through compiling them into the kernel or to load them at boot
through loader.conf.

I would think that loader.conf would be more convenient as changing hardware
wuld not require a rebuild of the kernel. Is there a draw back to loading
devices this way other than a longer boot up time (which should not be an
issue as the system is 24-7)?

I have also heard that loading modules through the loader.conf saves on RAM
performance as the module in question is not loaded into memory until it is
used as opposed to being loaded with the kernel. If this makes no sense, i
appologize. I remember reading it somewhere on a mailing list several years
ago and can't find the reference anymore. From memory it stated modules such
as cd9660 could be loaded through entering CD9660_load="YES" in
loader.confand that it would not be used in memory until a cd was
mounted. I am
assuming this is true (if it is) for other modules as well. Is any of these
making sense or am I completely off?

Thanks,

David Wassman

Finally (after 57th reset), I must have done something/enough to
the BIOS so that the server booted from the boot CD; I just
dropped in th live-fs disc.  Probably can't scp stuff out so this
is ging to take some serious poking around!

Have you restarted the system that crashed?  Does it consistently panic
when you try to boot, or was this a panic introduced by the particular
conditions of that moment? 



100% consistent.  tHe strange thing is that when I set the
boot-order in the BIOS to "CDROM" it's ignored.  (Maybe I
	don't have the boot CD?  that occured when I was crawling

	--Another few gallons of coffee and I'll check. 



The first CD is bootable.
I had something like this happen on an install a couple of weeks ago.
I set the boot order with Cd before HDD and it would completely ignore
the CD and just boot from the Hard Disk.   I had just used that CD to
install another machine so I didn't even think the CD might be bad.
But, then a couple of days later I tried it in a machine I was sure of
and the same thing happened. 


So, I burned another copy on a different machine and it worked just
fine on both.   The one that was ignoring the Cd and booting from
the HDD, then booted fine From the newly burned CD. 


So, I would suggest it might be possible that you have some sort of
marginal burn on the CD and it will work on some machines and not others. 

Good luck, 

jerry

Subject: Having trouble getting ppp configured on my 6.1 box

Hello everyone,

I had to blow away my 6.0 installation and simply install 6.1 release.  I
found out that I would have to update my ports manually and since I don't
have high speed access to the Internet, this just wasn't feasible.

So, after installing (which went smoothly) I'm getting everything working.
I remembered all my configuration files, or so I thought, except for the
ppp.conf file that I was using.  I remember having this problem when I
installed 6.0 but unfortunately, I can't remember how to fix it.  This is
really embarrasing.

ppp works and all, but I can't resolve any DNS hostnames.  Everytime I try,
I get something like "no address associated to the name."  Or something
similar.  Sorry, I'm writing this mail from the Windows OS (one computer
shares the two OS's) and I don't recall the error exactly but that's
basically it.

I was reading through the handbook and the ppp manual page and have tried a
few different things, but haven't gotten it to work as yet.  I called my ISP
to get the nameserver addresses to put in /etc/resolv.conf, and have
confirmed that with "enable dns" in ppp that ppp is updating the
resolv.conffile.  However, I'm still unable to resolve DNS hostnames.

What's the magic that I must perform to make this work?

ACPI lock in the last "halt" process

Hello,

I have configured with a 6.1 RELEASE FreeBSD.

When I am trying to shut down the computer - I reach the prompt - all  
processes seems to halt correctly - then the server seems to be  
stucked with the ACPI process indefinitely ??


First of all I don't know what ACPI is related to ?

Second how could I avoid that problem in the future ?

I know all that. I am saying that Azureus on FreeBSD runs slower than
d/ling the same torrent on a windows or even a linux (ubuntu) box when
getting the same torrent from the same network.

I'm not saying that this would be a terribly good idea for a

Re: how do you get gnustep to run?

[Anthony Agelastos]

GNUstep is a framework for application development. Please refer to  
http://gnustep.org/ for more information regarding this. I assume  
that you are looking for a user interface that is similar to  
NEXTSTEP; if this is true, you should check out Window Maker  
(www.windowmaker.info), which is also mentioned within GNUstep's  
website. To have Window Maker start on boot automatically, please  
refer to the FreeBSD Handbook and read Chapter 5 ( http:// 
www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html )


As for GNUstep, it will automatically configure your environment when  
your system boots. Your system accomplishes this with the script /usr/ 
local/etc/rc.d/GNUstep.sh. If you wish to know more about how this  
script works and how to use it, please refer to the FreeBSD Handbook  
and read Chapter 11.7 ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/ 
books/handbook/configtuning-rcd.html ).


I hope this helps.

fsck clean....

[Gary Kline]

People,

I'm clueless about why I had so my trouble with / (/dev/ad0s1a), 
but it's fsck-clean.  s there anything else I should do before I
reset the BIOS and try to reboot?

I checked /boot; there were things dated 18 July, but I can't
make any sense of this,or the stderr that were spat to the
screen.  Must have ben 50-75 lines; that's a guess.

Anybody?  I'm looking for kernel input in particular, but *Any*
suggestions welcome.

thanks in advance, of course,

gary

Where can I get this FreeSBIE boot disk?  Is it a floppy or can I
burn a CDROM?  I have a "burner" on my new Ubuntu box, but have
never burned anything but an audio CD.  



This is one of the myriad things I've never heard of,

Why would you want to make things reliable? With Windows your career  
is secure knowing you will have to be kept around to keep them  
running. Microsoft cleverly backs a certification program to make  
sure its graduates never recommend anything other than what they have  
been "trained".


Seven computers I have tried with all three BSDs and not  
one of them
managed to produce a working network connection. The only thing I  
achieved
was that now I can almost visualise every screen from the  
installations.


Start by forgetting about the installation screens. They are only  
there to get the most basic things running well enough to get the  
system installed on disk(s). After one is running from the installed  
image one almost never returns to sysinstall.


ifconfig(8) is probably the most important tool, from command line,  
that you need to diagnose network configuration and ultimately  
configure the connection. ping(8) is equally useful.


If you have a DHCP server the machine is to use then as root where  
fxp0 is my NIC:


# dhclient fxp0

If that works then /etc/rc.conf needs this line:

ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"

If your machine's address is static then this sets 192.168.10.12 on  
a /24 net:


ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.10.12/24"

If you have run sysconfig multiple times then you likely have  
conflicting replications in /etc/rc.conf (only the last reference  
applies). Manually edit and reconcile the differences.


I am baffled by how anyone is able to get a bsd networked  
system

working.  I guess I just have to stick with a windowsOS.


OK, no skin off my nose. Your problem solving skills are terrible.  
When (supposedly?) looking for help you do nothing but complain  
without saying anything specific about what wasn't working or the  
hardware involved. I highly recommend Microsoft products to people  
such as yourself.

If it's only the data you want, try a FreeSBIE boot disk. That will
give you access to the file system/network, so you can recover your
data.

It is.  I think all you have to do is boot the regular CD and
select live system or something like that (I don't remember the

can mount the other disk[s] and try to rescue things.

did you plug them in? if these computers are HP's
(Kayaks) with a scsi controller with a ethernet port
on the controller then you might be sol out of the
gate. FreeBSD Rel_5 never supported them for me Rel_6
does. I know pcBSD uses rel_6 I know desktopbsd use
rel_5. Although outside these obscure cases I have not
found a modern PC with a card FreeBSD didn't support
when I booted it up. it seems like most things I find
are MII bus based.

someone must have; you're on the internet talking to

network. I mean who would have ever thought of coming

MCSE comment(sort of):because microsoft is so much
stabler, and network friendly, with full POSIX
compliance..., an ActiveViri component integrated into
their full international standards compliant Web
Browser... 

I've generally had more trouble setting up windows
networks then anything BSD/GNU. Nothing more fun then
having a 5 year old NIC that is supported in
everything but Windows 2000. Makes connecting to the
internet to download the driver a lot of fun. *BSD can
be intimidating to some because you have full control,
which can be good and very bad at times. some people
like to drive their pretty lamborginis that their
daddies bought em. some like to tweak a frame and
engine with all the simple tools they have in their
garage so they can take that "poor" kids pink slip.

of course some like to be told what to do, and that
they must install this browser they do not use or
want, a java system that violates US Patent Law, and
if they tweak the install scripts to stop this;
"...Windows Has detected the configuration files have
been modified..."

what kind of computer is this? Do you have the latest
BIOS installed on the computer in question? What BIOS
version are you using? Did the machine do this on
other releases or is this the first FreeBSD it has
seen?

ACPI is the most current flashier version of APM with
some PNP thrown in; in laymens terms... It configures
devices, provides power management, and allows the
computer to setup hardware so specific versions of
windows can or cannot use certain resources on the
machine. Sometimes this does cause issues with the
non-windows users because devices are left
unconfigured or features disabled. Sometimes this
leaves the hardcore users rewriting their ACPI to
include support for FreeBSD natively or fix the errors
that came with the ACPI from the OEM. shutdown puts in
a system call to ACPI to shutoff the computer. That is
why it matters.

It seems like your system should shutdown properly due
to the power button fixed line above. At least it not
being able to properly shutdown is a known issue with
the machine. Does the computer hard lock or do you
mean you get stuck at a 
#
prompt but no powerdown? 
shutdown now
will bring you to single user mode
shutdown -p now 
should (only in linux does it not for me...)shutdown
the machine.

to avoid this problem in the future you should fill in
some of these blanks. Describe what:

> 
> When I am trying to shut down the computer - I reach
> the prompt - all  
> processes seems to halt correctly - then the server
> seems to be  
> stucked with the ACPI process indefinitely ??

means exactly. I know its tricky to get verbatium what
is going on, but when does it die?

I had a dell with this problem, had to update the bios
and turn on acpi for it to work right, would only halt
the machine for me (shutdown -h now [turns off pc in
linux... sorry tux is a new enemy...])

also a
uname -a
may be a nice thing to include.

The key is "try to rescue".  After fscking my filesystems 
I tried a reboot and ran into the fatal trap.  Now I'm back i
fixit mode.   What I really want is to get the data files off
and over to another servr.  Havng /etc/* and maybe /var/db/pkg/*
would be a big help.  Then I could reinstall 5.3  ->5.5 and
finally over to 6.1.

If anybody nearby who understands the FreeSBIE boot disk  can
stop by in the next week or two, that'd be great.   Are there
ways to scp from the # Fixit environment?  Or ways to recompile
kernel and world frm here?

Sorry I am dense but I just tar up whatever directories (user, web,  
whatever) and then use scp to copy them to the new server where I use  
tar to undue them.  I don't quite understand your question


man tar
man scp

% tar cpf archive.tar

there are cooler ways of doing this.   there will be people on this list

things like rdiff-backup could be useful since I can prep everything and

Well, if you want to make it complicated etc you can.

If you don't want to migrate all at once, yes, there are other ways  
of doing that.  That was not specified.


I would just stay up late one night and tar it all over and get it  
over with.  KISS.


good luck!

FWIW, I had the same experience with Azureus.  For me, no amount of
tweaking or tuning made any difference.  I'm blaming it on native jdk,
only because I've seen some other strangeness with it.  I havent' really
tried to figure it out, so who knows...

py-bittorrent works great.

Can't Find Kernel

[Andy Street]

Hi guys,

I had installed FreeBSD in my schools computer systems lab, so I decided to
install it at home as a dual boot with Solaris 10, already installed on half
the HD.  I downloaded the images off FreeBSD.org, burned them to CD's, and
then did a post burn md5sum on them to make sure they burned properly.  The
install seemed to go well, other than not being able to read fvwm off the
disc.  When I boot, the error I'm getting after I select FreeBSD in the boot
loader is that it "cant find the 'kernel'".  Just before I get the error, it
says "Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf", so naturally that's the first
place I looked after booting into single user mode with the live CD.
Strangely, I found that not only was there no /boot/defaults/loader.conf,
the /boot/defaults folder didn't even exist.  There is, however, a
/dist/boot/defaults/loader.conf.  Normally, I'd just edit the boot loader
but 1) I want to make sure something didn't go horribly wrong with the
install (I also noticed that bin and sbin in the / directory had @ signs
after them, i.e. bin@, and I wasn't sure this was normal, though I haven't
dealt with UNIX much), and 2) according to google and the online
documentation, the only way to "edit" the boot loader is to install a new
one.

So, what should I do?  Copy the /dist/boot/defaults/loader.conf to
/boot/defaults/loader.conf?  Reinstall using the CD's I burned at school
that I know work?  Install a new boot loader and point it at
/dist/boot/defaults/loader.conf?

Thanks in advance for the help.

New widescreen monitor, old radeon card - will this not work?

[Oliver Iberien]

I have a new monitor with the following specs:
Horiz 31-87 kHz
Vert 56-75 Hz
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now, this is attached to a windows box with its digital out and a FreeBSD box 
with analog via a Radeon 7500 card. On this last, when I put these new 
settings into xorg.conf, it is not what actually shows up on the screen. It 
ends up being [EMAIL PROTECTED], says the monitor, more or less, which puts up 
a 
message complaining about it. It's also offset not in focus.

Somehow, using the old xorg.conf file with all the wrong settings works 
better. There is a little distortion but not much I don't know why this would 
be. Limitations of the driver ("radeon")? 

Parts of the old xorg.conf file follow. I'd like to get this set up properly, 
Thanks for any help.

Oliver
