Syba NM9845CV
Hello, I wonder whether Syba PCI to Serial 4-port Controller Card based on NM9845CV (costs $27 @ newegg) is supported by FreeBSD. The NetMos NM9845 Quad UART is supported by puc(4), so is Syba the same chip or different?

FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out
Hello, I have a computer (x86 with one IDE drive) which I would like to host both FreeBSD and Linux. I installed Linux there, and it works fine. I then tried to install 5.3-RELEASE from the CD, but the installer failed to find the hard drive and locked with the error message ata0-master: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out I then connected this drive to another machine running 5.3R compiled from sources, and installed the system there using DESTDIR, and arranged booting through lilo -- same result. Loader's lsdev shows IDE drive, but then the same ATAPI_IDENTIFY failure happens, and List of GEOM managed disk devices appears to contain only fd0. The thread about ATAPI_IDENTIFY failure already appeared in [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 10/29/04, and the problem was probably resolved since then. Is it really necessary to upgrade to -CURRENT, or I am doing something wrong?

A board with SATA + console redirection (Intel SE7210TP1 or S875WP1)?
Hi, I am looking for a single-CPU (Intel or AMD) board which supports SATA and console redirection for moderate price (say, less than $250). What I have found so far are Intel entry server boards SE7210TP1 and S875WP1. Does anybody have any experience with them? In particular, I am wondering whether the following are supported by FreeBSD: - Intel PRO/100+ 82551QM - Intel PRO/1000 82547EI (82547GI?) - SATA 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub (ICH5-R) in plain SATA mode A recommendation of an alternative board would be very much appreciated.

russian xkblayout
Hello, After recent reinstallation of X I cannot use Russian layout anymore. With the old release (4.1.0), I had two lines in the XF86Config file which did the job: Option XkbLayout ru Option XkbOptions grp:shift_toggle They installed the map with columns 1,2 filled with Latin keysyms, and columns 3,4 filled with Cyrillic keysyms (as reported by 'xmodmap -pk' or xkeycaps), and double shift switched the layout. With the new release of X (4.3.0), and with the above options in the XF86Config retained, I get the map with columns 1,2 filled with Cyrillic keysyms, and columns 3,4 empty :( OK, if XKB method does not work, I tried to switch back to older scheme, xruskb with XkbLayout en. This way, the columns are switched (as reported by xkeycaps), but only empty keysyms are generated in Russian mode (as reported by xev). Were there some changes on the way between these two version of X? I cannot find anything in the docs or lists... Any idea would be appreciated.

installkernel remotely
Hello,
I have a problem with the remote kernel install. I have cvsup'ed, built
and installed the system (-CURRENT) on one host, then mounted its /usr/src
and /usr/obj to another host (running 5.1-RELEASE). When I try to install
the kernel on the second host (even the same kernel which was successfully
installed on the build host), it fails with the message below. There are
no discrepancies in the make.conf files. What could be the problem?
Thanks,

Re: nutball video question
Hello, I have got to the same idea today and -- what a luck -- this topic is already dscussed on FreeBSD list! How fast should be the server to be able to perform this task? For instance, would PII/400MHz/128Mb be enough? Do different cards (meteor/bktr) consume CPU power differenly, or about the same? What is the video resolution which consumes almost 100Mbps? Is it possible to record video under FreeBSD? Which card should I buy for that? Is multicasting can be done using combination of available software, or some programming required? Thanks, Alex On Mon, 9 Jun 2003, yussef wrote: If i understand what you want to do, i have something similar setup. i stuck my tv card [device bktr] in my headless server.

It does such up most of the bandwidth on my 100base lan, but if you're talking small res and dont mind slightly low updates, its fine. my goal for this system was actually to turn the system into a bit of a pvr, having it record tv programs so i could watch at my own convenience. good luck yussef On Mon, 09 Jun 2003 23:59:11-0400(EDT)J.

I have one of the older Happauge WinTV boards (that is supported by FreeBSD). Unfortunately, the only machine with an open PCI slot is my headless server. I have a number of IBM netstations attached to this server via a 100Mbps switched ethernet LAN. Currently, I am using KDE as my desktop environment. I have no idea what the X server is, but I do know KDE apps grumple a lot about the X server lacking features. Is it possible to stream video to these X terminals, even if it's not movie quality? I'm thinking something along the lines of a security camera setup, where it is OK if the video is the size of a business card, and isn't updated terribly fast. That being said, could the same stream be sent to two or more terminals simultaneously? The likely problems here are that the video transmission would be done in X, which could result in bandwidth issues, and the little problem of my monitor locking the video device. Alternately, and perhaps even better, is there a way to capture still images from this board, for use as a webcam?

Re: nutball video question
Mark, Is it possible to record video under FreeBSD? Which card should I buy for that? Is multicasting can be done using combination of available software, or some programming required? For serious digital recording, I would point you towards hardware MPEG2 compression. FreeBSD does not have a free driver for hardware MPEG2 devices. For which device(s) does it have a non-free driver? Or hardware MPEG2 devices are not supported by FreeBSD at all?

disk full, df and du inconsistency, syncer problem?
Hello, I have just had a problem. Some process have filled /var. Lpd spool directories were really huge, so I thought lpd was the reason, stopped it and removed all print tasks from its spool directories. But df still showed that /var is 109% full. I tried lsof|grep var, it showed nothing suspicious, then tried lsof +L1, it showed no unlinked files in /var. I I looked into maillists but found nothing helpful, and thus rebooted the system. While rebooting, it wrote Waiting for 60 sec for syncer to shut down... 60 sec passed Syncing disks 3611 3611 3611 etc. Giving up on 3611 buffers and rebooted. After reboot fsck and all other stuff went OK. I use FreeBSD astro.ioffe.rssi.ru 4.5-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE #5: Tue Aug 6 19:53:51 MSD 2002 on dual PIII machine.
