Failed to Load Kernel

[Programmer In Training]

Alright, I am starting my install of FreeBSD not from the DVD ISO like I
was hoping (I cannot find my DVD-Rs) so I'm using the disc1.iso from the
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-i386-all torrent. I just checked the md5sums on them
(using the utility found at http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/) but
I cannot find the md5sum for this file anywhere on the FreeBSD group of
sites (I think the info hashes provided on the torrent tracker are for
the .torrent).

The message I'm getting (wish I could just screen cap and put it up on
the web):

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
(r...@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu, Sat Nov 21 14:05:36 UTC 2009)
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf

elf32_loadimage: read failed
Unable to lad a kernel!
/
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...

As far as I can tell, the cd burned fine (I did the burn on a Toshiba
notebook running Vista, was able to browse the folders just fine,
everything looked in order).

Do I need to use the bootonly.iso as well? What am I missing here? I
know my drive that I'm booting from is in perfect working order (DVD
Super Multi-Format DVD+/-R(W), HP, less then a year old with no problems
prior).

All the hardware up to this point appears to be detected just fine.

I'm going to bed right now, will get back to those who reply tomorrow
afternoon.

Thanks for the time and help guys (and gals), I'm really looking forward
to using FreeBSD.

I take that back, I found the sums for the individual files and they all
check out.

All true.  Plus perhaps virtual drives provided by a Domain Controller 
(eg Samba) pointing to various network resources users can access.

Oh you can partition it that way, but DOSes can only see one Primary 
Partition (PP) at a time, the Active one, on any one disk; eg you could 
have say DOS 6 and Win2k in separate PPs; booting either would call that 
one its Drive C: and any other PPs are then not visible to that OS.

FreeBSD of course can mount any of the Primary or Extended Partitions as 
slices, as can Linux AFAIK, so this is really just a DOS/win limitation, 
rather than being any consequence of the MBR-based system itself.

Goodo :)  I think my ancient OS/2 tower is past booting these days.

I've since dusted off (which took a while :) my User's Guide to OS/2 
Warp, which has very detailed info on all this.  I was talking before 
about single-disk systems, as was fbsd1.  Strange things happen to what 
any DOS-based OS sees if there are also Primary Partitions on HD#2 ..

DOS(etc) sees the PP marked active on HD#1 as C:, always, and DOS 3-6 at 
least, and I suspect DOS 7 (win9x through XP) can only boot from HD #1.  
Further, DOS <= 3.3 required that PP to be within the first 32MB, and 
all to 6.x need the bootable PP to be within the first 1024 cylinders.

However, DOS allocates any active PP on the second disk as Drive D:, so 
even if there is an Extended Partition on HD #1, its Drive Letters will 
be allocated AFTER the D: drive on HD#2, as first E:, F: etc on HD#1 
then any more on HD#2 as G: etc.  This used to provide much 'fun' for 
folks later adding another HD who had hardcoded links to other drives.

Partition Magic used to understand (and display) all these intricacies, 
and gparted and friends likely do also.

Sure; when in Rome speak Latin, as it were.  OK, Italian these days :)

I'm not sure if the DOSes that can multiboot (NT, W2k, XP) can do so 
from another PP on HD#1 or not; certainly they have to start from C:

Re: FreeBSD 2.0.5 Release

[Paul Shi]

Actually, I do have a floppy drive on my computer (what a piece of old
junk...)

So I suppose that I do need to write content in /floppies/ directory,
including root.flp, boot.flp and 00_TRANS.TBL, into a floppy disc while
having install 2.0.5-install.iso in CD drive, according to Warren and
Andrew. I just found a boot.flp in /floppies directory and I am wondering if
I could boot from the floppy disc this time? I probably will try it first.

Again, thank you guys so much! All of you have been so warmhearted and I
really appreciate it!

Well, except as you said later, how then is SA being invoked from that 
.mc file, unless the sendmail.cf in use maybe wasn't made from that .mc?

I'd suggest:
  # cd /etc/mail
  copy the present sendmail.cf (and maybe submit.cf) for diff later
  # make cf # read the nice Makefile
  # diff sendmail.cf.old sendmail.cf# expecting nothing

 > Hmmm...  anything unusual (ie to do with domains not local to your machine)

If it was in fact last compiled to the present sendmail.cf, yes.

I'd also check that abuse.net or its IP address[es] don't appear in 
relay-domains (aka sendmail.cR) - which sounds like a long shot, but 
might explain the behaviour.  Or an 'abuse.net RELAY' in access[.db]?

Jerry's test seems to have ruled out general open relay behaviour.

Even so, should spamd ever send or bounce mail?

Indeed.  Unless there's a 'to=<[*.]abuse.net> [...] stat=Sent' line in 
maillog then or later, your Bad Day Theory sounds quite likely.

Well, yes, but you're going to have to format the hard drive to DOS 
first.  And still figure out a way to get FreeBSD to boot.


So I have following thoughts and correct me if I am wrong. I do NOT 
need an actual floppy disk. But I could make boot from Floppy Disk the 
first priority in boot order and system will find the root.flp in 
/floppies/ and start installation. 


They might exist, but I've never met a BIOS that could boot from a 
floppy image.  CDs can do that, if the CD image is set up for it.


If you have a floppy drive, you should probably install from floppies at 
least once.  2.0.5 doesn't look like it took that many, either.

Re: RealTek 8168 issues

[Ryan Coleman]

Jason,

I'll try again tomorrow. I think the board is bad, to be completely honest.

I pulled my desktop board out and installed that, got 8.0 to install OK there, 
then went to attach the RAID card (an HPT RocketRaid) and boom. It loads the 
BIOS, loads the RAID BIOS and nothing.

I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for the lead.

Re: FreeBSD 2.0.5 Release

Thank you guys! At least, I got some idea where I should start. Install
manual has a section "Install from DOS partition" It said that I should copy
the /floppies/ to a new folder in hard disk named /FREEBSD/.

So I have following thoughts and correct me if I am wrong. I do NOT need an
actual floppy disk. But I could make boot from Floppy Disk the first
priority in boot order and system will find the root.flp in /floppies/ and
start installation.

Am I correct? Or I do need to burn directory /floppies/ into an actual
floppy disk and start installation from there? Thank all of you!

Can't get wifi working in 8.0, please help.

[Eric Webster]

Hello, I recently upgraded from bsd 6.4 to bsd 8.0 release ( new install ) and 
I am having issues getting my wifi to work. Before the upgrade it worked 
perfectly in 6.4. 
I am a bit confused as I have read different things about this. The handbook 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html#NETWORK-WIRELESS-AP-BASIC
under basic settings says check to see if your device supports host based ap 
mode by doing 

ifconfig wlan0 list caps

# ifconfig wlan0 list caps
drivercaps=2985cd01

Then it says the wireless device can now be put into AP mode by doing:

ifconfig wlan0 ssid freebsdap mode 11g mediaopt hostap inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 
255.255.255.0

Which returns:
ifconfig: inet: bad value

I read some place that you need to put inet before ssid so I tried it with the 
following:

# ifconfig wlan0 inet 10.0.0.1/24 ssid gangsta wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 
apasswordhere mode 11g mediaopt hostap

Which returns:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured

If I try to configure it like it was in 6.4 I get another error:

ifconfig wlan0 ssid gangsta channel 8 wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 
apasswordhere mode 11g mediaopt hostap 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Which returns:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured

I know wep is not secure, I am just trying to get it working. 

At start of the guide it tells you to configure the following in 
/boot/loader.conf which I did.

/boot/loader.conf

if_ral_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
wlan_scan_ap_load="YES"
wlan_scan_sta_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_Tkip_load="YES"

When I run kldstat I see the if_ral is loaded. I don't know if its supposed to 
show the other modules.

Re: RealTek 8168 issues

[Jason]

I worked with a similar patch for the bce driver, and received the same
issue.


From what I've seen, the patch would be for the "mii" device for this error.


After patching mii, the error and issues were resolved.

On Mon, Jan 04, 2010 at 06:28:36PM -0600, Ryan Coleman thus spake:

I have a RealTek 816x NIC in my FreeBSD 8.0 box. I did a full system install 
last night and at 2AM the NIC gave out. Now it's crapping out in minutes 
instead of hours.

When I run /etc/rc.d/netif restart I get  the normal processing data about my 
NICs and then this:
re0: reset never completed!
re0: PHY write failed
re0: PHY write failed
re0: PHY write failed
re0: PHY write failed
re0: PHY write failed

And it proceeds to bring lo0 and re0 back up, but re0 has it's listed static IP 
but is not discoverable on the network.

A reboot can temporarily fix this but I want to avoid rebooting every 4-6 hours 
automatically (for obvious reasons).

I've found patches referencing 7.1 but not 8.0.

I can post more details if you need, just point me where you need me to look 
for them.

Updating from 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #901 to 8-release

[eculp]

I intend to first upgrade my old, but up to date, 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD  
7.2-STABLE #901 to the latest 8.0 release and then probably to 9.0  
current.  I want to conserve as much as I can so I thought that I  
might give freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.0-RELEASE a try.  Previously I  
have used cvsup and/or a cdrom but freebsd-update is binary and even  
does ports so being lazy . . . .


I have tried and the following are the results.

freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.0-RELEASE
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update5.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update4.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update2.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

I am trying to follow the instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/announce.html

I guess that I could just use cvsup or the new dvd.  Does anyone who  
has done this give me a tip?


Also to go from 8.0 to 9.0 should be fairly easy with cvsup, kernel,  
world, rebooting and recompiling all ports, no?


Thanks,

ed

Re: Restoreing Dump on FreeBSD headless server (bsd)

Subject: Restoreing Dump on FreeBSD headless server
To: Liste FreeBSD
Message-ID:<4f9e0b10-f8fb-41be-8d59-00b29094c...@todoo.biz>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hello folks,


I would like to know how to proceed in order to restore a dump from a backup 
headless server (remotely using ssh).

How am I supposed to proceed, should I first install the server (a FreeBSD 
Fresh install with spare partition) then restore the dump on an empty partition 
?

Should the new empty partition be the exact same size as the dumped partition ?

Is there a tool that could allow me to restore remotely ?


Any advice or howto will be (very) welcome.


Thanks.


P.S. Happy new BSD year !!

Hi

Good help to found here

??  As soon as you get the disk ready - fdisk and make a bootable slice
bsdlabel and make your partitions, newfs the partitions, then restore
the dumps.   There really isn't anything else to do once the restores
have successfully been done.Just pull out the fixit and boot
normally.

Sounds right.Then make those partitions and newfs them.
You need to make a /tmp, but of course, you don't need to dump
and restore it.   

Also, remember that when you run from fixit, the sile storage "disk" is
in memory.   It is / and /usr, etc.   So, you need to make temporary
mount points starting in the '/' file system for the new ones while
you are restoring to them.Something like /newroot, /newusr, /newvar
and /newhome  or whatever.   Then mount the newly newfs-ed partitions
to those mount points, cd in to each and run the restore -r for it.

/lib/libc.so.7 is a FreeBSD library. /lib/libc.so.6 can found under
/compat/linux and Linux programs will use that one. You should undo any
changes you made in the install script.

To fix the expr error you have to create the following symlink:
ln -s ../usr/bin/expr /compat/linux/bin/expr

This is perhaps something the linux_base-f10 port should have done for
you.

To emulation@: Linux has expr under /usr/bin and FreeBSD has it under
/bin, so running expr in a Linux shell picks up the FreeBSD version
causing errors about unsupported command line options. It would be nice
if the linux_base-f10 port created the symlink above to fix this.

For the error about libXp.so.6, check if you have the port
x11/linux-f10-xorg-libs installed.

I'd recommend using openjdk6 instead of Diablo if you want to maximise
performance.  Diablo is getting old and isn't available natively for 8.x
(its runs as a compatible binary with the compat7x port installed).

IIRC there is an option to tell the JVM to use as much RAM as possible,
but I don't recall it off the top of my head.  There should be some docs
on this on the main Java site at Sun and they will be equally relevant to
FreeBSD as they are to any other OS.

I am using dump(8). 
I have successfully created a backup of all major partition of my server which

I haven't tried It so I don't know what functionnality It offers… 
But I guess I might start a fresh install from that console… 

At which point should I do the restore(8) in the install process ?

Dump is stored on a remote HD. 
There is one dump file per partition (not for /tmp).

Well, the problem is that some of the pictures that I wanna rename don't
have Exif header (e.g. pictures taken from internet), so it will not
work in this case (I think). And even some pictures I have taken with my
camera that don't have the right date.

That is the why I'm renaming to img1.jpg, img2.jpg, etc.

Quote from jhed website:

"-dc Delete comment field from the JPEG header. Note that the comment is
not part of the Exif header."

This is another thing that I was looking for, thanks to you, now I know
how to do it.

Thanks for the tip. :)

You might want to look at the "jhead" port.

It uses the date the picture was taken for the new name, so it's both
stable (i.e., if you run it again you get the same results) and sorts
into proper order.

Dario,

I'm not personally aware of any single commands which allow  
substitution using a counter like you're asking, or of a decent way to  
do what you're asking from the shell script either; however,  
personally I'd write a simple Perl script to do it. The trick being to  
be able to find the bsd###.jpg where it left off at in a directory so  
you don't overwrite existing files if repeatability is important.


Here's something quick/dirty to work with, you can build from here,  
but try copy/pasting the following code into a new Perl script and run  
it from withing the directory you want to work:


#!/usr/bin/perl -w


use strict;

my @files = `ls`; # gets a list of all files in the current dir
# start a counter at zero, then increment it below:
my $cntr=0;
# set counter to the largest bsd###.jpg file in this directory:
map { if (/^bsd(\d+)\.jpg/) { $cntr = $1 if($1>$cntr); } }  
grep(/bsd\d+\.jpg/,@files);


print "Left off last time at $cntr, going to start this time at  
",++$cntr,".\n";


foreach (@files) {
chomp();
# skip all files which are already named bsd###.jpg
# or are not in ending .jpg
next if ($_ =~ /bsd\d+\.jpg/ || $_ !~ /(\.jpg)$/i);

my $new = $_;
# use a regular expression to substitute the name
# (note /i == case insensative so it will match '.JPG' as well)
$new =~ s/^(.+)\.jpg$/bsd$cntr\.jpg/i;

print "Renaming $_ to $new\n";
# un-comment the line below to actually do the rename:
# rename($_,$new);
$cntr++;
}

### END OF SCRIPT ###

An example given a directory with files like:

blah.Jpg
bs432.jpg
bsd11.jpg
bsl.jpg
uh-oh.jpG

I think I gonna use the Nathan's Perl script, it did the job without any
problem (at least for now :D).

True. I tried it 5 minutes ago, and I already love it. It's such a nice

Re: Rename pictures in the command-line interface

[nvidican]

No problem. You might also consider extending it to support '.jpeg' as  
well as '.jpg', or even alter to work recursively through  
sub-directories. Like I said though, it's more or less a starting  
point. It will continue to extend beyond the current number each time  
it's run too - so it should never over-write an existing file and  
never need to be altered to support one more digit, (until system  
limitations come in to play - but that's a whole other ball game in  
terms of scale and probably the least of your worries at that point).


Personally I find things like this a LOT easier to do in Perl for the  
power and simplicity of Perls ability to handle and manipulate  
strings, (again like I'd mentioned in my original reply), I'm sure  
this is do-able in a shell script too just seems simpler to  
read/write/work with written in Perl to me and it just gets the job  
done.

Dario,

I'm not personally aware of any single commands which allow
substitution using a counter like you're asking, or of a decent way to
do what you're asking from the shell script either; however,
personally I'd write a simple Perl script to do it. The trick being to
be able to find the bsd###.jpg where it left off at in a directory so
you don't overwrite existing files if repeatability is important.

Here's something quick/dirty to work with, you can build from here,
but try copy/pasting the following code into a new Perl script and run
it from withing the directory you want to work:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w


use strict;

my @files = `ls`; # gets a list of all files in the current dir
# start a counter at zero, then increment it below:
my $cntr=0;
# set counter to the largest bsd###.jpg file in this directory:
map { if (/^bsd(\d+)\.jpg/) { $cntr = $1 if($1>$cntr); } }
grep(/bsd\d+\.jpg/,@files);

print "Left off last time at $cntr, going to start this time at
",++$cntr,".\n";

foreach (@files) {
 chomp();
 # skip all files which are already named bsd###.jpg
 # or are not in ending .jpg
 next if ($_ =~ /bsd\d+\.jpg/ || $_ !~ /(\.jpg)$/i);

 my $new = $_;
 # use a regular expression to substitute the name
 # (note /i == case insensative so it will match '.JPG' as well)
 $new =~ s/^(.+)\.jpg$/bsd$cntr\.jpg/i;

 print "Renaming $_ to $new\n";
 # un-comment the line below to actually do the rename:
 # rename($_,$new);
 $cntr++;
}

### END OF SCRIPT ###

An example given a directory with files like:

blah.Jpg
bs432.jpg
bsd11.jpg
bsl.jpg
uh-oh.jpG
yourSelf.JPG

Will give you an output like:

In this case, pay attention that the renumber script does
not pay attention to not overwrite files. This can lead to
problems when adding files. Let's say you have

pic_01.jpg
pic_02.jpg
pic_03.jpg

and add a file new.jpg, so you have

new.jpg
pic_01.jpg
pic_02.jpg
pic_03.jpg

If you now run

renumber pic jpg

you'll have

pic_01.jpg = new.jpg
pic_02.jpg = pic_01.jpg
pic_03.jpg = pic_02.jpg
pic_04.jpg = pic_03.jpg

and the "source pics" will be "removed", so you end up with

pic_04.jpg = neu.jpg

A workaround is to use the MC to prefix all files with an
arbitrary letter, and THEN run renumber, e. g. select all
(grey *), PF6, to "X*" (where "X" is the arbitrary letter)
and have

Xnew.jpg
Xpic_01.jpg
Xpic_02.jpg
Xpic_03.jpg

which can be processed with "renumber pic jpg" now without
any problems because the existing prefix isn't the same as
the renumbering prefix.

As you see: I have a reason to believe that I should better
write a new script that takes such things into mind and maybe
offer reverse renumbering, overwrite protection and a better
selection which files (instead of hardcoded *) to process.

It's worth it. The MC is a powerful and still easy to use

Well, to tell you the truth: I am using a remote backup solution since 2.5 
years and the provider has just told me that he would no longer support my 
hardware
so I need to rebuild a new server based on my previous config

Ok, I think the server I will install that on might use some sort of virtual 
KVM that could allow me to do that

Well my idea was to rebuild the new server based on the dump I have realised 
(in order to save me the time to do the reinstall). 
But from what you are telling me It might not be so easy

Yes but how should I partition that ? 

Should I re-create the 

/
/var
/usr
/tmp

or 

/ with minimal system


and re-create the mapping with nothing on slice.

The sorting order is not a big problem for me, at least for now. I'm
doing the renaming in one machine with GUI then I upload the pictures to
another machine. The only reason that I need this, is because sometimes
I delete one picture on the other machine and then I have to rename
everything again.

Depends on what you have and what you want to restore.
Is the reason for the restore because the old disk went belly up?
Or did you just nuke some stuff accidently.   Is the restore the
boot disk or an extra work disk?   

In the first case, yes you will need to create something on the disk - 
some sort of filesystem.   Probably that would mean using a fixit
image to boot and do an fdisk(8), bsdlabel(8) and newfs(8).   

It the second case, the filesystem[s] is[are] still intact and you
only need to do an 'interactive' restore of just the files you want.
IF you are doing an intereactive restore and if you have room, it may 
be easiest to copy the whole dump file over to some big space on the 
system and run the restore from that copy.  Then you can just ssh in 
and run it just as if it was setting beside you.

The same might not be true if you are replacing a destroyed disk 
because the restore will be a complete one and no file selecting
will be necessary.

If you cannot get physical contact with the machine, and the disk was
damaged and replaced, you may have to learn how to do a network boot 
and install.   I have never had to do that so am not a good one to guide 
that process.   

In either case of having to create slices, partitions and filesystems,
you do not have to do a complete system install.  You need to do just
enough building to have the filesystems created and mountable.  The fixit
is just fine for that.   If you can get that going remotely, then
do the fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs-s from that and then restore from 
the dump to the new filesystems.   Forget about doing a real install.

>

It just has to be large enough to hold what you restore.
In fact, it is a good time to increase or adjust filesystem sizes if
you have more room on the replacement disk.

>

You can use rsh(1).   I have done that.
Probably some specific ssh method too, but I am so old I haven't
done one with that new fangled secure ssh yet...

I know it's quite ugly and complicatedly written, but maybe
the attached script will help. It "just works", but the more
I look at it, the more I wish I hadn't written it, or just
used sh and its printf %03d mechanism. :-)

Keep in mind that the script follows the csh's sorting
order to resolve *, which usually is lexicographical
order.

For example

97.jpg
98.jpg
99.jpg
100.jpg

will, after issuing

renumber bla jpg

result in

bla_01.jpg = 100.jpg
bla_02.jpg = 97.jpg
bla_03.jpg = 98.jpg
bla_04.jpg = 99.jpg

So if you wish to do some file preparation, know that the
powerful Midnight Commander can do this for you (select and
PF6).

Here's the script now. Put it in ~/bin (and add this directory
to your $PATH) as "renumber" (or any name you like), give it +x
permissions and "rehash" to make it available to the C shell.
Then, use "renumber  ". It will process ALL
files in the current directory (as I said: ugly as sin).


#!/bin/csh
if ( $1 == "" || $2 == "" ) then
echo "Usage: renumber  "
echo "   Target form: _nn[n]."
echo "   For 1 to 99 files: nn; for more than 99 files: nnn"
exit 1
endif

set n = `ls -l | wc | awk '{print $1}'`
set num = `expr $n - 1`
echo "${num} files to handle."

set base = $1
set extn = $2
set n = 0
foreach f ( *.${extn} )
set n = `expr $n + 1`
if ( ${num} > 99 ) then
if ( ${%n} == 1 ) then
mv "${f}" "${base}_00${n}.${extn}"
else if ( ${%n} == 2 ) then

Restoreing Dump on FreeBSD headless server

[bsd]

Hello folks, 


I would like to know how to proceed in order to restore a dump from a backup 
headless server (remotely using ssh). 

How am I supposed to proceed, should I first install the server (a FreeBSD 
Fresh install with spare partition) then restore the dump on an empty partition 
?  

Should the new empty partition be the exact same size as the dumped partition ? 

Is there a tool that could allow me to restore remotely ? 


Any advice or howto will be (very) welcome. 


Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks much for the hints. In the meantime I was (almost) settled with
going for 4.0alpha, but today I gave it another shot: cvsup-ed my
ports-tree again, and was able to compile and install samba 3.3. Seems
like over the holidays some of the dependencies have been changed wrt
samba 3.3 - at least it doesn't complain about cross dependencies any
more. :-)

Thanks again for the tip wrt building gnome without mapi support!

Have you tried portsnap(8)? I find it much more convenient for keeping the
ports collection up-to-date. Fast too.

Re: FreeBSD 2.0.5 Release

I don't think the very early releases available on CD are bootable.
Not many PCs in the mid-1990s supported booting from CD.  CD-ROM
drives weren't very common and those that did exist often had
non-standard interfaces that required special drivers to work - which
meant the BIOS couldn't see them to boot from them.

To install FreeBSD 2.x, if I recall correctly you need to write the
FreeBSD diskette images (in the /floppies/ directory) to diskettes,
then boot from the first install diskette, while having the
installation CD in the CD drive.  You may need to RTFM a bit to get
this working.

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/2.0.5-RELEASE/INSTALL


"El Torito" bootable CDs boot from a floppy image on the CD.

(This is what happened earlier; the CD software used cheaply-licensed 
DR-DOS floppy image to boot and load IDE CD-ROM drivers.  Not quite the 
right thing, but it meant well.)


So it's possible to create another CD using the original, but adding the 
first FreeBSD floppy as a boot image.  mkisofs has the -b option for 
this; I don't recall details for Nero but seems like I've seen it.


FreeBSD 2 may not like that configuration.  Still might be easier to try 
than finding a floppy drive.

Re: snd_hda blues

[Bob Johnson]

It is likely that whomever is able to help you will need additional
information. You can get this information by rebooting your system and
selecting "Boot FreeBSD with verbose logging" from the boot menu.
After it boots, use "grep hdac /var/run/dmesg.boot" to extract the
detailed information about your sound system configuration and post it
back to freebsd-questions.

If I have time I will try to look through the info and come up with a
suggestion, but I must warn you in advance that I am unlikely to find
the time in the next few days, so post the info to the list to give
others a chance to look at it.

In that case I suspect you have to enable the newer linux compat layer.
The default in FreeBSD 7.2 doesn't support TLS (the (**) error above).

To do this, do the following:

* Remove Matlab and all linux* ports you have installed.
pkg_delete linux\*
* Add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf:
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
* Matlab probably also needs linprocfs mounted, so add this line to
  /etc/fstab if it isn't there yet:
linprocfs   /compat/linux/proc  linprocfs   rw  0   0
* Reboot.
* Add these two lines to /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10
* Install emulators/linux_base-f10.
* Install f10 versions of the linux* ports if you need them,
  e.g. instead of graphics/linux-png install graphics/linux-f10-png
  if you need it.
* Install Matlab.

You'll still have the SSE2 error, but the TLS error should be gone.

Nope.  You're mixing up IA64 (the Itanium) with AMD64 (All modern AMD
chips, and Intel chips like the Core 2, Xeon, I7).  amd64 is a historic
name, because AMD invented the architecture, which Intel later copied.
It's frequently called x86_64 in other OSes.

All x86_64 chips can also run in x86 (32 bit) mode.  As far as I know, 
IA64 was only ever a 64 bit architecture.

tweak FreeBSD 8 for optimal java/weka performance

[Dino Vliet]

Dear freebsd people,
 
in a few days I will install freebsd 8.0 amd64 on my 8GB RAM dual core machine 
and use the system as a application server. I will install the 
/usr/ports/textproc/weka toolkit, a program written in java. I will use the 
diablo jdk port in /usr/ports/java.
 
Due to the nature of the research I will be doing I will need to max out my 
machine for optimal java performance. For example, I will use the -Xmx7g flag 
frequently to set the maximun java heap size to 7GB.
 
Are there any other tweaks I should think of to get as much RAM for my java 
programs?
Like building custom and small kernel, in order to minimize te size of the 
kernel?
 
Let me know,
thanks in advanced,
Dino

get the usb live cd of freebsd 8. Slice up the disk how you want and format
as ufs1 (not 2), mount the fs up, set the destdir up then manually install
the distributions ( eg cd base; ./install.sh ), finally install the boot

I used both the IP address and the domain name. Same results either way.

Go to:  and type in your IP: 213.146.114.24
and you will notice that no errors are displayed.

Your server is accepting the "Mail From:" then refusing to relay the
mail. If you employed SMTP Authentication it would not even get that
far.

The IA64 is intended for Intel's Itanium Processor. It is 64bit, but
will not on your standard Core2Duo or AMD64 processors.
You need the amd64 edition for the common 64bit CPUs (both Intel and AMD).
The 64bit versions cannot be used on 32bit hardware. On the other hand,
the i386 (x86) version will happily run on a Core2Duo or AMD64.

IA64 is a completely different architecture than x86.  Think gasoline vs.
diesel.  x86 and IA64 are not compatible at all.

If you were talking about amd64, that's a different story.  Most newer
CPUs are amd64.  All amd64 CPUs can also run a 32bit x86 OS.  Some x86
32bit CPUs are also amd64 compat.

Re: cvsup blues

[John Almberg]

The csup servers do have a rate-limiting feature on them. However, I
think it gives a different error message than that. "Operating not
permitted" makes it seem more like a networking issue on the local
machine. Can you ping the IP? Firewall blocking outgoing ports?


I pinged a few of the mirror sites to choose the fastest one, so, yes I 
can ping them.


I turned off PF temporarily to see if it could be a firewall problem. No 
difference.


I'm also having problems installing ports. I wanted to get vim installed 
while trying to figure out this port upgrade problem. Vim uses lots of 
files and a bunch of them downloaded when I typed 'make install clean', 
but then I ran into a batch that give an error message like below.


I can fetch the files manually, using wget (which installed with no 
problem), but I'm getting a lot of these problems, which means its going 
to take about 5 years to install all the ports I need.


I've never had this problem, before... weird.

I'm trying to remember where this appears.  I remember vaguely what
you're referring to, and yes, it's a theoretical possibility if you
combine a name like that with domain name based access controls.  Aha!
Found it.  It's this item in the 'FEATURE' section of 
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README


relay_entire_domain
   This option allows any host in your domain as defined by
   class {m} to use your server for relaying.  Notice: make
   sure that your domain is not just a top level domain,
   e.g., com.  This can happen if you give your host a name
   like example.com instead of host.example.com.

So, unless you have an entry saying FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')
somewhere in your sendmail configuration, this will not hurt you.  


Cheers,

Matthew

FreeBSD versions

[Mernoz Rostangi]

Hi,

I would like to know if the FreeBSD 8.0 IA64 can be used on 32bit cpu also ?

If yes, what is the difference between IA64 and x86 versions ?

:-)

Something doesn't add up here -- the log shows the message being processed
by SpamAssassin, but there was no indication in the sendmail .mc file you
showed us of any integration with a spam filter.  I'd expect some sort of
milter configuration.

Unfortunately as well, the log line showing the delivery result is usually
one of the ones *following* the line showing the external MTA handing off the 
message to you.  Try grepping for the sendmail queue IDs:

  o04BQi0O008964
  o04BWBOA010672
  o04CSb9P056503
  o04CZkfq058137
  etc.

The lines that say 'dsn=' are the important bits.  If  
is 2.0.0 (ie. successful delivery) then you've got a real problem.  The result

should be 5.x.y (ie. permanent failure) and a snotty message about 'relaying 
denied'.

Cheers,

Matthew

btw. you need to update your SpamAssassin rules -- you're triggering 
on the FH_DATE_PAST_20XX test all the time, which will give you some false

positives.

The csup servers do have a rate-limiting feature on them. However, I
think it gives a different error message than that. "Operating not
permitted" makes it seem more like a networking issue on the local
machine. Can you ping the IP? Firewall blocking outgoing ports?

snd_hda blues

[Sandra Kachelmann]

I am trying to get my HDA based soundcard work on both output jacks
(back by the card and on the jack on top of the tower).

With earlier FreeBSD versions I was able to have my speakers plugged in
on the back of my soundcard and whenever I would plug in the headphones
on the top of the tower the speakers would mute and the sound would
play on the headphones.

Now this doesn't work anymore. The speakers work but plugging in the
"top tower jack" won't do anything.

Looking at man snd_hda I tried all the examples (adding stuff
to /boot/device.hints). None of the examples did what I wanted.

By googling a little bit I found a dude who had the same problem so I
simply copied the device.hints lines that solved his problem.

The following lines make my headphones work:

hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid22.config="as=1 seq=15"
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid24.config="as=3"
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid26.config="as=1"
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid29.config="as=2"

However, after that my speakers are mute, all the time. If anyone could
help me restoring the old snd_hda behaviour I would be very thankful
since I don't quite understand what the snd_hda manpage is trying to
tell me (sorry, I really tried...).

Here are the information I think might help:

$ cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)
Installed devices: pcm0:  at cad 0
nid 1 on hdac0 kld snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex
default)

Any help is gratefully apreciated.

Sandra

Hmmm...  anything unusual (ie to do with domains not local to your machine)
in /etc/mail/local-host-names or /etc/mail/virtusertable  or 
/etc/mail/mailertable?  You're definitely running with that config file,

and you don't have anything like OpenBSD spamd(8) running that could intercept
incoming SMTP traffic?

If that's so, then I can't see how your machine could be an open relay.  The
abuse.net relay tester must have been having a bad day.  In fact, can you
find the records in /var/mail/maillog to show abuse.net's server connecting
to yours in order to do the testing?  It may be that it was connecting to 
somewhere else entirely.  Or it was somehow trying to test relaying using
an address that was somehow actually valid on your system.

Those first FreeBSD releases can NOT boot from present IDE or SATA CD-ROM
drives but from older type drives such as previous Sound Blaster sound card
attached CD-ROM drives which they are NOT IDE drives .

Please check this issue .

I do NOT know how to generate an .iso from those older FreeBSD sources to
enable them to boot from IDE or SATA CD-ROM drives or from USB sticks .

Perhaps you may start booting from floppies . The manual associated with
FreeBSD 2.0.5 may contain information about booting from floppies .


Thank you very much .

I don't think the very early releases available on CD are bootable.
Not many PCs in the mid-1990s supported booting from CD.  CD-ROM
drives weren't very common and those that did exist often had
non-standard interfaces that required special drivers to work - which
meant the BIOS couldn't see them to boot from them.

To install FreeBSD 2.x, if I recall correctly you need to write the
FreeBSD diskette images (in the /floppies/ directory) to diskettes,
then boot from the first install diskette, while having the
installation CD in the CD drive.  You may need to RTFM a bit to get
this working.

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/2.0.5-RELEASE/INSTALL

(AFAIK it's still possible to use this technique to do a network
install of FreeBSD 8.x, if you don't have a working CD-ROM drive.)

The ISO for FreeBSD 3.x is probably bootable.  I know the 4.x ISO is.

It wouldn't surprise me if FreeBSD 2.0.5 fails to boot correctly on
modern hardware.  You may need to use older hardware, or an emulator.

Andrew

I just tried and received a "Relaying denied" response.

By the way, I noticed that you apparently do not employ SMTP
Authentication or offer STARTTLS on either port 25 or 587. You might
want to consider employing them. Then again, you could just install
Postfix. It is far easier to configure.

Plenty.  But it would help a great deal if you showed us your ${hostname}.mc.
The default sendmail config in FreeBSD isn't an open relay.  In fact,
it takes a bit of effort to make sendmail do open relay type stuff nowadays,
and there are big fat warnings in the docco (/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README)

FreeBSD 2.0.5 Release

[Paul Shi]

Dear All,

I am looking for a FreeBSD release which is most similar to 4.4 BSD-Lite and
I chose FreeBSD 2.0.5, the oldest release since 4.4 BSD-Lite. However, after
downloading iso file from archive

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/

and burning to CDROM, it still will not boot from CDROM. The burning process
should be fine since I just got it correctly as some of you may be aware. So
I wondering if it is possible that the ISO file has been broken. Is there
any one who maintains older archive know the validity of ISO file. Thank you
very much!

Your sincerely,

MATLAB in FreeBSD

[gianrico.lamura]

Dear Sir,

to install MATLAB i have followed striclty what FreeBSD doc suggests (even
if this doc is not updateed and contains erros) @
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/linuxemu-matlab.html.

To avoid the "SSE2" problem I followed:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-July/202248.h

to run succesfully the installation. But, at the end of the installation,
when I have to activate the licence, the systems diplay an error that is
explained in the /tem/aws.log file as :

"(Jan 04, 2010 12:58:48)There was an unexpected exception.  See the log
file (/tmp/aws.log) for more details.
(Jan 04, 2010 12:58:56)java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
/usr/compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/bin/glnx86/libinstutil.so:
libstdc++.so.6: cannot handle TLS data " (**)

and the system stops!!

I tried to run anyway the matlab script but an erro occurred for the sam
reason of SSE2 check. Thus I corrected it by following :


http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-questions%40freebsd.org/msg214774.html

the program starts with the licence request but the same problem as in (**)
still diplays.

I have searched for several days in the net for a solution but I found
nothing. I'm desperate because I need matlab. I have the licence. I run it
before on the same laptop. I changed to FreeBsd since Ubuntu was too bad
for my Philips Freevents X59. But now I do not know how to solve this
problem. 

Please, could you help me before I will forced to change another time the
operating system?

thank you in advance

Gianrico

You shouldn't expect any problems.
You will have 2 different compilers installed in different

I am not sure whether or not this information is still valid:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/8.0TODO#head-637d4dd09847005583f360ebb430cf32b64a4d8b

At the end of the week I will try to set up WLAN on a T41 using that

it caught me out that. I think the issue is that export a zpool isnt
analogous to unmounting a file system. After all you can unmount a zfs fs
without exporting the pool. The fact that the zfs is copy on write and has
the zil should mean it wont loose its integrity.

Also every pool has the hostid of the current system that has imported it,
embedded in it somewhere. eg if you try to import a pool that was previously
mounted on another system and not exported, you have to import it with the
-f flag. Exporting the pool clears this faild an alters the state of the
pool.
