Help with AMD64 install on nforce 590 sli motherboard
Hello, I am having a rough time trying to install freebsd on one of my machines. The machine in question has the following: ATHLON 64 X2 6000 , EVGA Motherboard 122-M2-NF59-AX (nForce 590 SLI), 2 SATA HDs, PATA DVDRW.. I have tried the following releases: Freebsd 6.4 Release, Freebsd 7.0 Release, Freebsd 7.1 RC1, and Freebsd Snapshot 8-Current. The snapshot of current panics, 7 7.1 I can get to the installer screen but no sata drive is detected. I see the controllers being detected fine. I upgraded the mboard bios to latest version. Raid is deselected in BIOS. I do not believe there is a hardware problem. The system currently boots Windows XP fine. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 sucessfully and it runs find. I am at a loss of how to proceed.

The only other thing being in group operator lets you run,
apart from what you've added into /etc/devfs.{conf,rules} is
/sbin/mksnap_ffs ..
In a default devfs config, it grants read permission to
the disk devices (presumably to enable running dump(8)).

True, so if Gilles' dad really wants to run dump, he most likely can.
The .snap directory in the root of a (mounted) file system to be dumped
has owner root, group operator, mode 0770 - paraphrasing from dump(8) -
and then he'd need mount and write permissions on the dump destination.
Doesn't sound too risky if Gilles trusts him enough to run shutdown :)

Re: truss is buggy?
It looks like the ptrace() syscall is the problem: DESCRIPTION The ptrace() system call provides tracing and debugging facilities. It allows one process (the tracing process) to control another (the traced process). The tracing process must first attach to the traced process, and then issue a series of ptrace() system calls to control the execution of the process, as well as access process memory and register state. For the duration of the tracing session, the traced process will be ``re-parented'', with its parent process ID (and resulting behavior) changed to the tracing process. I imagine that also explains why a truss'ed program will die if you kill -9 the truss process. It looks like the reset parent when trussing behaviour appeared back in 1996 (sys_process.s r1.21). The fix would probably be to store the pid of the tracing process somewhere other than p_ppid... My problem is that there is a process (namely, postgresql stats collector) that may have a bug inside. I was asked on the devel list to send in some traces so they can figure out why it is in an infinite loop, eating 100% CPU time. However, when I start truss-ing this process, getppid() call changes return value. The postgresql stats collector periodically checks if the postmaster (its parent process) is alive or not, and will exit unconditionally if the postmaster has died. After I start truss-ing, the stats collector exits, making it impossible to debug the problem. I'm not able to change the stats collector's source code, because I'm not a C programmer, and because it is a production server and this would be too risky. I also tried to install strace, but it is not available on my platform (amd64). I cannot move to i386, because (apparently) the problem exists on this platform only. Is this a hopeless situation? BTW I'm not an expert, but I believe that the process being debugged should not see any difference, and it should not be able to tell if it is debugged or not. I think this is a bug indeed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You should also encrypt the wifi traffic by using at least WPA encryption. For most wifi routers this is a checkbox and a key or a passphrase that you enter. All clients that wants access and have their MAC address in the access list will have to enter the passphrase/key on the first connect. This means that you control the MAC address list - all new wifi devices that wants to connect to your wifi LAN needs to get added to the MAC access list - manually by you. You also control the encryption passphrase - all wifi clients that wants to connect to your wifi LAN need to know the encryption passphrase. If you use WPA for encryption you will have a higher degree of security than using the old and hackable WEP. Of course both the MAC list and the encryption key/passphrase are stored in the wifi router - so if you don't set a proper password for admin access to this one - all is lost. You should disable wireless access for admin (remote management) to it - only allow cabled access and use a good strong password. Buzzwords? I dunno - I hope people on the mailing list help me out here... Is there a better/simpler way of doing this? Greetings /Roger For a good laugh ...

Hi Mike,
On Tue, 23 Dec 2008 04:14:51 am you wrote:

That would be in conjunction with your NAT's and any RDR's as well.
Spot on! Thanks for that, it worked like a charm.
I have a couple more questions below. Firstly, just for completeness, I've
listed what the NAT and RDRs look like for others that may be interested.
$vlan10_server - macro for IP address of server on vlan10
nat on $vlan50_if proto {tcp udp icmp} from $vlan10_if to any - ($vlan50_if)
rdr on $vlan50_if proto tcp from any to ($vlan50_if) port 80 - $vlan10_server
port 80
pass in on $vlan50_if inet proto tcp from any to $vlan10_server port 80
pass out on $vlan50_if inet proto { tcp udp icmp } from ($vlan50_if) to any
Remaining questions:
a) I found I didn't need a reply-to statement on the redirect for the vlan50
interface above. Could someone elaborate or point to a URL that might help
explain a little more why this wasn't needed and in what circumstance I might
need a reply-to statement.
There isn't much about reply-to in the pf pdf. Since my default route is on
vlan60 as opposed to vlan50 where the redirect is, you'd think I need a
reply-to at first glance.
Is the single route-to (pass in on $vlan10_if route-to ($vlan50_if $vlan50_gw)
from any to any) covering me here?
If I had a redirect such as:
rdr on $vlan50_if proto tcp from any to ($vlan50_if) port 80 - $vlan20_server
port 80
would I need a reply-to?
b) I've also found I needed to assign IP addresses (doesn't matter what they
are) to the actual interfaces the VLANs sit on within the FreeBSD box (int0
and ext0).
If not, things don't appear work. Should this be necessary, and if so why? If
I shouldn't need IP addresses on the actual interfaces themsleves I've
probably mucked up someting else in the pf rules :)
For example:
ext0 (192.168.1.1)

NTPD on 7.1-PRERELEASE
My ntpd will not sync on my newly installed 7.1-PRERELEASE hosts. The configuration is the same as other correctly time synched hosts. They are behind the same firewall. The only difference is that these hosts are running 7.1. Does anyone have any tricks for getting ntpd to sync on 7.1? Did something time related change in the kernel?

Here is an example, using a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE CD: # mount /cdrom # cd /cdrom/7.0-RELEASE/kernels # ./install.sh GENERIC This will install it to /boot/GENERIC and you can copy it to /boot/kernel if you wish. Or you can use nextboot(8) to boot it once and see what happens.

Sure perl can do that. You want the '\b' thingy[*], like so: m/\bfoo\b/ which will match 'foo' as a separate word. See perlre(1) for the gory details (but be warned, it's a long read). I did see another answer to your question by Jonathan McKeown who was actually a lot more thorough about how to do this than I was.

Re: boot0 loader minor problems

The problem is that sometimes boot0 code loads OS from active partition no matter which of F[1-4] I press. Sometimes boot0 code starts loading OS from the default slice and gives me no chances to select the slice to boot from (I have ticks=12000!) Should it be a problem with my buggy BIOS? Or a corrupt bootsector.

Kernel Variables Sanity Check
Based on someone elses historical message I tried changing the time counter from TSC to i8254 # sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 and after doing some manual calculations I tweaked # sysctl machdep.i8254_freq=1187216 # machdep.i8254_freq: 1193182 - 1187216 Is doing this safe? I'm concerned that there are unforeseen consequences to messing with these kernel variables. Ntpd seems to like this setup. Anything to make ntpd happy. And if I may, why can't ntpd do this? (Don't answer that.) I use the FINE software to set my clock so I don't have to. It's supposed to make my life easier.
