Re: Problem with a NIC in FBSD 6.2
Thank you all, for your replies. After messing around and trying a few
things (including messing with the BIOS settings by disabling serial and
parallel ports as well as manually setting IRQs), I ended up taking out one
of the Netgear cards and putting in an old 3com 3c905 that I had sitting
around. Once I did that, I was able to install with no problem and all the
cards are recognized with no conflicts.
And, to answer Iams question: It's for a firewall. :)
Thanks much,
Peter

Before heading to your local military surplus shop for a second hand tank,
you
may want to have a play with the PCI IRQ settings in your motherboard :
- Change them from auto to one different IRQ to each slot.
- DISABLE devices you dont need. Do you need 2 COM ports + LPT + who knows
what
else? This is usually the problem - you're NIC, in a certain pci slot,
conflicts with other devices.
In most motherboards, the IRQ assignment is shown just after POST and just
before the OS boots (best way to see it is to remove all bootable devices
so
it's stuck after POST). You *really* want to have individual IRQs for each
NIC.\
I've had this problem with some ASUS motherboards, Award bios + 3+ fxp
cards.

sorry for the double posting.
Make sure that
- you DO have linux.ko loaded
- you may want to try mount linprocfs on /usr/compat/linux/proc , just in case
the linux software needs access to linux version of /proc
- does ldd [prg] show any missing libraries?

It allows FreeBSD to indeed allocate up to 2.5GB of KVM. But... there must ofcourse be enough kvm to begin with. If I'm completely wrong here please someone correct me.

SMP options and core dump failure
Hello, We have a problem with SMP kernel. It could not dump out core when the crash happens. I am able to isolate the problem to kernel configurations which have SMP enabled when used with 2 cpus. With ONE cpu the core dump works ok. I built the kernel with GENERIC, and deliberately crash the kernel (for testing purpose). The core dump works fine. Only added the "options SMP" and crashed the kernel, then prior to any pages being dumped out, it hangs there. Has someone successfully core dumped on a system using SMP kernel with multiple CPUs? I tried on two different boxes (different motherboards, CPUs and hard disks). Both got failed. I tried to enable the DDB, but don't know what to look for when it goes into ddb.

People,
I think that you can find answers to a lot of problems mentioned here
if you read the threads starting from
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-June/150737.html
and from
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-June/150773.html
Those posts cover flash7 with native browsers, possible problem after
updating Xorg and some explanations related to {ns,linux}pluginwrapper.
In my experience things remained the same in meantime.

A query regarding SCTP in FreeBSD
Hi, I was just wondering whether SCTP implementation in FreeBSD supports "dynamic address reconfiguration" (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tsvwg-addip-sctp-22.txt) ? I would appriciate any help in this regard.

The first part of what you want is easy.
In named.conf you'll have something like...
acl private-hosts { 192.168.1.0/24; 192.168.2.0/24; };
view "internal" {
match-clients { "private-hosts"; };
zone "example.org" {
type master;
file "master/db.internal.example.org";
};
};
view "external" {
match-clients { any; };
zone "example.org" {
type master;
file "master/db.example.org";
};
};
Now you have two separate zonefiles, one which is consulted when someone from
192.168.1.0/24 or 192.168.2.0/24 makes a query and one that is consulted when
anyone else makes a query.

Re: Problem with a NIC in FBSD 6.2
PU wrote: Hello, I have a bit of a problem I'm hoping someone here can help with. I built a 6.2 FBSD box and wound up with a bad NIC out of 3 and what I thought might have been a bad pci slot. I replaced the NIC with a new one, and moved the card to another slot just to make sure I took care of the problem. However, now when I boot up, my rl0 interface is recognized, but isn't 'initialized'. What I mean by that is that I see entries in dmesg, but an ifconfig does not show that interface. I can't even plumb the thing as the OS says it doesn't exist. What really throws me is that the other two NICs and a video card that were also moved are recognized with no problems at all. Problems just seem to follow the rl0 interface. Hmmm .. ISTM that the way to attack this is to take a single NIC and try it in each slot to make sure that card it properly recognized. Repeat for each NIC. You will discover one of several possibilities: a) A given NIC is actually bad in that it fails in one or more slots where the other (good) NICs work in any slot you try. Remedy: Place the NIC on the ground and strike it repeatedly with a large hammer. b) All NICs work in some slots but fail on others. This would hint to one of two possibilities: A bad PCI slot or a motherboard that does strange and perverse things by hardwiring certain interrupts to certain slot positions (yes, I've seen this and it's maddening). Remedy: Run over the motherboard with a large tank. c) Any given NIC will work in any slot, but they cannot all coexist in the same machine. I have seen this sort of problem (not with NICs) and it was the aforementioned PCI interrupt mapping being hardwired and/or shared in unpleasant ways. REMEDY: Again, run over the motherboard. P.S. RealTeks are not terrific NICs. For low end - if you can even still find them, I like the old 3Com 3c905s. For a few bucks more, the Intels seem to be quite nice as well. P.P.S. Make sure the mobo BIOS isn't doing something unnatural about interrupt mapping/sharing and PCI slot configuration.

Problem with a NIC in FBSD 6.2
Hello, I have a bit of a problem I'm hoping someone here can help with. I built a 6.2 FBSD box and wound up with a bad NIC out of 3 and what I thought might have been a bad pci slot. I replaced the NIC with a new one, and moved the card to another slot just to make sure I took care of the problem. However, now when I boot up, my rl0 interface is recognized, but isn't 'initialized'. What I mean by that is that I see entries in dmesg, but an ifconfig does not show that interface. I can't even plumb the thing as the OS says it doesn't exist. What really throws me is that the other two NICs and a video card that were also moved are recognized with no problems at all. Problems just seem to follow the rl0 interface. When looking through dmesg, I see the following: rl0: port 0x9000-0x90ff mem 0xde00-0xdeff irq 5 at device 13.0 on pci0 rl0: reset never completed! rl0: unknown device ID: device_attach: rl0 attach returned 6 I'm about at the point where I'll just re-install since I haven't gotten very far yet, but I'd like to learn something from this. My searches thus far haven't been very helpful as most of the results have been concerning problems with ACPI and disabling it. I'm new to FreeBSD, so even if someone can point me to a good guide on dealing with hardware in FreeBSD, it would be greatly appreciated. Of course if that was in addition to whatever direct suggestions you might have on how to resolve this problem, that would be wonderful too. ;-) Thanks much!

Also . . . easily fixed in most cases simply by installing the

Jeffrey Goldberg writes: > I still remember as a newcomer to Unix a long long time ago getting > > "Bad magic number" > > > In retrospect, I suspect that I'd typed "ld" where I'd meant to type "ls". I have been doing things on Unix systems since about 1990 and the thing I run across that makes me ready to split a brick with my bare hands to this very day is the "not found" message one can get in a badly written shell script such as the following: #! /bin/sh a = 5 that's enough to make it happen. Run that, and you get: a: not found Interestingly enough, if you run that same script in a Debian Linux environment, you get: ./testfile: line 2: a: command not found Most of you will probably instantly see what I did wrong in that there shouldn't be any spaces between the variable name, the = sign and the 5 which could be anything else. I just picked a 5 for the heck of it. If you are in a big messy shell script, just seeing a: not found Doesn't tell me much except I know it's not working. The problem could be either that there is a typo or it could be that $a is null. I usually find that I snuck a space in and didn't even think about it at the time. I don't know if error messages from other OS's are off limits, but some of the ones from the most widely-used OS on Earth are treasures. How about running a gigantic piece of commercial software that does God knows what on your computer, and getting an error like: The software has performed an illegal operation. I bet there is a second line that they had to print in text using the same forground and background color so as to keep from getting fired that reads: "Now, try and find it. Ha ha ha ha!" Then, there is the ultimate, the "Check engine." light on the modern car. It would be so nice if it said some indication as to the seriousness of the problem so that one knows whether to get it fixed now and maybe save $5,000 worth of repair costs or let it slide a few days until a better time.

unable to boot due to error in loader.conf
Hello, Since people were talking about modifying kern.hz , I went the extreme and added "kern.hz=10" to loader.conf , obviously the system didn't load properly. It panics during boot process. This is 5.4-Stable, I've tried all other boot modes and the only option available is "Escape to Loader Prompt". Any tips on a way to recover this machine ?

It depends on what you are doing: it is most useful to tune HZ higher when machines are being used as firewalls/routers and/or are using device polling. Faster HZ rates cause greater system overhead but will give shorter latency, up to a limiting point. In simpler words, tuning HZ too high is bad. :-) One needs to do measurements and tune appropriately. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

SSH and Sendmail problems w/ld-elf.so.1 after upgrade
Greetings, Last night, I performed a binary upgrade on two servers from 4.11 to 6.2. Both servers appeared to have identical configurations, apart from small differences like perl modules and the like. I built one of them myself a few years ago; a former co-worker built the other while I was on vacation, and I have no way to reach him to determine what he may have done differently. Both upgrades appeared to work without any trouble. The server I originally built is operating normally. The server my former co- worker built is having problems with SSH and Sendmail (and possibly other things I haven't yet discovered). Attempting to ssh into the new box results in: ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused Watching ssh -d I see: debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110 debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: private host key: #0 type 2 DSA debug1: rexec_argv[0]='/usr/sbin/sshd' debug1: rexec_argv[1]='-d' debug1: Bind to port 22 on ::.

I've found Flash 7 to work pretty damn well in, say, 90% of the websites. In
the remaining 10%, it's blocked by the content creators and Macromedia wanting
me to upgrade. No crashes, no issues with navigations.
What sites have you had problems with?

That avoids the use of a second NIC and allows the use of the router's other ports. It has the additional advantage that you can put the router back into NAT mode, which can be useful for troubleshooting networking problems or if your FreeBSD machine has a fault. It's also useful if you want to boot a live-cd with internet access. The router will also allow you to switch to PPPoA, which makes it easy to deal with support if your ISP uses it as its official means of connection. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Do you actually mean that Opera itself crashed? I've not seen that. Was that with nspluginwrapper or linuxpluginwrapper? I removed the latter when I switched to nspluginwrapper. Flash 9 doesn't work very well, but with nspluginwrapper it works no worse in the native browsers than in Linux versions.

Possibly a beat frequency between the 1kHz default slicing and some faster oscillator on board? You could play around with kern.clockrate, sometimes quite small frequency changes make a difference, especially if it's a harmonic. Default HZ jumped from 100 to 1000 probably around the time when more servers were seen running at nearer 3000MHz than 300 :) Interesting! I've booted the EPIA with Hz=840 and Hz=1160, and the whine was *considerably* quieter in both cases. It really seemed to be some kind of harmonic oscillation at Hz=1000.

I was able to get Flash7 working well in Firefox using tips from Nikola Lecic in a thread on this list about a month ago. Mostly this post: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200706020235.l522Zv7p002571 Can't seem to get YouTube working in Opera though. Just get the grey square and some download activity, although the Flash player part of this works: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ -- John. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

OK, some more info, and I'll stop bombarding the list.
I uninstalled www/linux-flashplugin9 and reinstall www/linux-flashplugin7
installed the plugin as root with
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
Checked video.google.com, works OK (the usual slight video / sound async) :
http://video.google.com.au/videoplay?docid=2241387385572734828
Youtube works great (well, 'as designed' ) too .
CNN doesn't work because they want me to have flash => 8 . Other than that, it
seems fine.
I'm sticking to flash7 for now, running on native ffox - it means some fewer
ports, less duplication, and Java 1.5 in the browser, from the Diablo project...
/me happy :)
