No change. :-( Well the only other idea I have right now is that perhaps sysinstall lied to you about what it wrote out to the mirror. It thinks it has successfully completed an install but maybe failed to write the boot loader, or more, and is misleading. Next thing I would try is to boot from the LivsFS CD and attempt to mount the mirror to someplace such as /mnt. If it gets mounted go examine what's there. If it was newfs'd successfully and the install is good then there will be a file system with all the normal bits you'd expect to see. If all that's there maybe it's munged the mbr and/or partition table. Far fetched maybe but something to eliminate. When you can't figure out what it is, figure out what it isn't, until you back it into a corner. :-) There is also another thing which I don't know enough about, but have noticed a little traffic about. Try searching for issues people have had about device renumbering. That really shouldn't be an issue with a hardware RAID controller but maybe some of the related info may spark an idea. I'm also a little curious that the controller card itself could possibly have some hardware defect. An easy way to rule it out would be to try with another OS such as Linux and/or Windows. If you see the same behavior the card is defective. If not the problem is somehow FreeBSD related. It's the old divide and conquer paradigm - if there actually is a hardware defect present all the mucking around in software isn't going to change anything. The first place to drive in the wedge is hardware vs software. If you can prove the hardware is functioning correctly then you know which road you have to go down. Sorry to not be more helpful here, but the couple of times in the past that I've used old Highpoints it was just create array, reboot, install to ar0 (older PATA IDE array) and it was done. -Mike ___ 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

The only other thing is if you can disable INT 13 boot in the motherboard BIOS so as to leave the one on the HighPoint card the only one active.

It is in fact an astonishingly tiny list, mostly (w)Intel boards, and quite obscure. A very small niche. Could very well be the case. If they have the INT13 hardwired in the BIOS to only try to boot from the 1rst (onboard controller) it won't look for an mbr anywhere else, even when told to boot from the add in card. This would be a fairly extreme oversight as the ability to boot from external add in cards was added a long long time ago. I've been doing such things successfully for years. This would be really crappy BIOS design on Gigabyte's part.

It looks like as the Free line trends down, the Inact value trends up to keep the total Mem used at the installed 12G ALL unused memory is used as disk cache in FreeBSD. Although, looking at the output of top, most of the memory is in the inactive state. As I understand it cache pages go from active to cached, and the inactive queue contains pages that need to be written out to swap before they can be reused. No. It just means they're not active -- nothing has touched them recently. They may be dirty. They may not be. Recently means the last 20 seconds to a minute, depending. The very high level of inactive memory looks suspiciously like a memory-leak to me. Hopefully someone who knows more about this will step in - don't take my word for it. I have no data on the system in question, but it's very common for a machine to have large amounts of inactive memory, particularly one that's not under any sort of memory pressure. My basically idle workstation has 1.5 GB of memory, 5 MB free, and over a gig inactive. Since I'm not doing anything with it (I'm writing this from another machine), and its just hanging out, this is what I'd expect. Should it do something that requires memory, the pager will toss clean inactive pages to the free list, and they'll be reused. Of course, if what they're required for is something they already have in them (like the code segments of recently terminated application that's restarted), they'll get reused, saving having to read them from disk. The only time you'll large amounts of memory on the Free list is when a machine is first booted and hasn't touched that memory for anything, or when an application that's got a large dyanmically allocated block of memory terminates. The rest of the time, the free list should be small. If the machine isn't swapping, there's usually nothing to worry about.

Re: Last commmand showing resolved hostname
On Jan 17, 2009, at 11:20 AM, Troy wrote: I have a question. Is there a way that you can make the 'last' command display the DNS resolved name of the users that have logged into a machine rather than the IP address. Showing both name and IP address would be even better. The issue is that DNS hostnames can change between the time the wtmp entry was made and the time you run last and try to perform DNS resolution, so the wtmp database keeps IP addresses only. This being said, you can get what you've asked for by installing the / usr/ports/dns/adns port, and running last | adnsresfilter.

Re: stable-supfile -- freebsd-update
As far as I know you cannot use freebsd-update on stable releases.

How NOT to use multibytes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This might seem an odd problem ... I spend my computertime developing, and don't really have much care for my own personal use of multibyte character sets, at least when I playing with the shell or in an editor. I just finished fixing a problem in a host I was logging into, where it was giving me strange characters in a simple make listing. It turned out to be that LANG and LC_ALL were set so that things like quotes (which I would really rather have be the same ' which I'm used to), was the lsquo and rsquo multibyte character sequences. I suppressed the settings of LANG and LC_ALL, and then the problem evaporated. My problem here is that (1) this seemed like it was probably the wrong way to fix the problem, but (2) all the documentation seems to be telling me how to add this sort of thing, not to suppress it. I like it when the correct characters show up in my browser and mail, but not in the shell or editor sessions. What's the right way to get to where I want to be, it's not really to unset those variables, is it? BTW, things are just ducky with the browser and mail already, it's only the shell things which I need to set right. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklya2oACgkQz62J6PPcoOnyIgCgkCeLhCI1t0CAVLnPwdHDDmZI 6h8AoJOCGLSI4b0Oz81OMhiVboB2S9aq =4Lkz -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ 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

X11/Xorg: does VESA driver support ATi Radeon HD4830?
I got a MSI R4830T2D512 ATI Radeon HD compatible graphics accelerator card I would like to use on my FreeBSD 8.0-CUR box running the most recent Xorg out from the ports-collection. As I found out, 'radeonhd' driver needs Xorg server 1.5.0 or higher when running in 64Bit and FreeBSD's ports are behind with 1.4.X. Therefore I tried VESA driver, but neither radeon, radeonhd nor vesa driver do recognize the board. I sthere any chance of getting Xorg-server 1.5 soon or is there another way making VESA driver recognizing the HD4830?
