I also thought that safe mode disabled acpi? I have also updated the bios on the motherboard and the bios on the raid card to see if they were the problem. Same problem persists.

Carp and vlan issue
I am trying to use vlans with carp on some intel pro 1000mt cards with the em driver. I am running into some issues, I read somewhere there is a patch to make this work(I guess it hasn't been MFC'd or something). Does anyone know where I can get a patch for this or if the patch I've read about even really works?

Freebsd to Sonicwall vpn tunnel
I have been searching far and wide for working examples of a site-to-site vpn tunnel from a freebsd firewall to a sonicwall appliance(Pro 2040). I can't even seem to make it work with it using anonymous in the racoon.conf, however, at some point I need it to use a specific sa for the sonicwall so tunnels connect using anon.

Pxeboot for nfs installation woes.
Hi all, I have a lot of servers on order, so I want to be able to just network boot them as a jumpstart into the installation (which will then be scripted). I am most of the way there. I have tested my NFS shares and if I boot a boxe off a cd, I can do the nfs installation without fail. I have setup pxeboot, and if I am far enough along that when I boot off the network, it tftp's the files it needs, boots through menus, loads the generic kernel, mounts an nfs root, then errors. The errors are exec /sbin/init: error 70. One error for each attempt at an init file. Then it gives me an init: not found in path /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit.. Then it panics and reboots. There is so much I've done, I'm not sure what specifics anyone might need to offer some assistance.

There is so much I've done, I'm not sure what specifics anyone might need to offer some assistance. 1st: I have done it but with ftp install rather than nfs, see here: http://www.daemonsecurity.com/pxe/ I used no cd's to bootstrap or anything. 2nd: One of the first things done in the bootstrapping is to load the loader.conf, in this you can override any settings of paths to the init program. For installation usually sysinstall is used, which can be scripted - I assume you are refering to this? - you can set the path with an option in loader.conf, for example: init_path=/stand/sysinstall The option may contain a colon separated list of files and they are checked in order, the first found is run. Check the path to your init or sysinstall on the nfs-client. Cheers, Erik That is the how-to that I started with, however it jumps around a bit becaues they are also showing how to do diskless clients. Basically I have this: /tftpboot is a link to /usr/local/export/freebsd I have put the entire cd in /usr/local/export/freebsd copied pxeboot to /usr/local/export/freebsd setup nfsserver:/usr/local/export/freebsd as the root_path on the dhcp server. It appears to try to mount that share as the rootpath. the nfsserver is exporting /usr -alldirs After the kernel boots there is a line that says: NFS ROOT: 192.168.1.98:/usr/local/export/freebsd and then it errors. If that is path to the root of the cd, this should work correct?

Re: 5 day lockup on Densitron
Richard J. Valenta wrote: First off - thank you for both your replies... The manufacturer (Densitron) has little info available, especially technological info. I'm going to continue to look for this, but do either of you or anyone else have ideas on where to look for this? Would it be called a 'watchdog' in the BIOS? Previous to this install there was a smaller hard disk and a Windows 2000 install. However, there was no regular reboot or anything else I knew of. Of course, who knows if there's some kind of base Windows 'stroker' that I'm unaware of, or if there was something in place that was part of the application it ran. Anyway - ideas on where to look, and subsequently disable, this (if its there)?

Watchdog devices are sometimes set up to require the application software to stroke the timer periodically (reset it in software) with the intent to force a reset of the system (usually a reboot) after such-and-such a period of time if not stroked. Watchdog timeouts are typically a fraction of a minute, a 5 day watchdog timeout is very unlikely. Watchdogs are normally designed to be initialized at boot by the software, and as FreeBSD doesn't know about it... It's a long-shot, but less so than overheating always happening to build up and cause a reset randomly at exactly the same 5 day period of time as somebody suggested. -- Clifton I actually saw this same thing on 2 machines recently. I suggest either upgrading to 5.4(not sure if it will fix it), or reverting to 4.11. My company has not been able to justify putting any 5.3 boxes into production because they seem very unstable. In our case the lockups were random. Initially it was thought to be almost exactly every 2 days but later determined the lockups were random. I installed 4.11 on both of those machines and they have been up every since.

pf and altq bandwidth problem.
I apologize if this is the wrong list for this, but if it is, please let me know. Basically when queue1 on my firewall starts pushing the full amount of bandwidth, things that use the dflt queue become unreachable or VERY slow. The dflt queue NEVER uses it's full amount of bandwidth, generally around 3mbit/s on average. I'm starting to think this is just an inherent problem in FreeBSD 5.3. Maybe I just need to upgrade to 5.4 when it is released, but I don't think there were many pf updates in that release. I'm reluctant to post too much information about the firewall and it's configuration since it is a production firewall. But the problem seems to be with the queues. Here's what I think is the relevant information, let me know if more information is needed: firewall# pfctl -s queue queue root_fxp0 bandwidth 25Mb priority 0 cbq( wrr root ) {dflt, queue1} queue dflt bandwidth 8Mb priority 4 qlimit 150 cbq( borrow default ) queue queue1 bandwidth 17Mb qlimit 3500 firewall# pfctl -vvsq queue root_fxp0 bandwidth 25Mb priority 0 cbq( wrr root ) {dflt, queue1} [ pkts: 93469435 bytes: 57111963278 dropped pkts: 0 bytes: 0 ] [ qlength: 0/ 50 borrows: 0 suspends: 0 ] queue dflt bandwidth 8Mb priority 4 qlimit 150 cbq( borrow default ) [ pkts: 47160837 bytes: 20420146684 dropped pkts:294 bytes: 105068 ] [ qlength: 0/150 borrows: 2667554 suspends:237 ] queue queue1 bandwidth 12Mb qlimit 3500 [ pkts: 46308598 bytes: 36691816594 dropped pkts: 5236343 bytes: 4887084090 ] [ qlength: 0/3500 borrows: 0 suspends: 13971654 ] queue root_fxp0 bandwidth 25Mb priority 0 cbq( wrr root ) {dflt, queue1} [ pkts: 93472817 bytes: 57113671748 dropped pkts: 0 bytes: 0 ] [ qlength: 0/ 50 borrows: 0 suspends: 0 ] [ measured: 676.4 packets/s, 2.73Mb/s ] queue dflt bandwidth 8Mb priority 4 qlimit 150 cbq( borrow default ) [ pkts: 47163588 bytes: 20421636153 dropped pkts:294 bytes: 105068 ] [ qlength: 0/150 borrows: 2667640 suspends:237 ] [ measured: 550.2 packets/s, 2.38Mb/s ] queue queue1 bandwidth 12Mb qlimit 3500 [ pkts: 46309229 bytes: 36692035595 dropped pkts: 5236343 bytes: 4887084090 ] [ qlength: 0/3500 borrows: 0 suspends: 13971654 ] [ measured: 126.2 packets/s, 350.40Kb/s ] queue root_fxp0 bandwidth 25Mb priority 0 cbq( wrr root ) {dflt, queue1} [ pkts: 93475932 bytes: 57115159111 dropped pkts: 0 bytes: 0 ] [ qlength: 0/ 50 borrows: 0 suspends: 0 ] [ measured: 649.7 packets/s, 2.56Mb/s ] queue dflt bandwidth 8Mb priority 4 qlimit 150 cbq( borrow default ) [ pkts: 47166144 bytes: 20422995656 dropped pkts:294 bytes: 105068 ] [ qlength: 0/150 borrows: 2667788 suspends:237 ] [ measured: 530.7 packets/s, 2.28Mb/s ] queue queue1 bandwidth 12Mb qlimit 3500 [ pkts: 46309788 bytes: 36692163455 dropped pkts: 5236343 bytes: 4887084090 ] [ qlength: 0/3500 borrows: 0 suspends: 13971657 ] [ measured: 119.0 packets/s, 277.49Kb/s ] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This firewall has intel pro 100+ cards, actually 6 of them. Only 2 are in use, the others are there for some future projects. The public interface has 1 public IP from a /29. The private interface has 2 IP addresses that correspond with the 2 internal class C's we have(both publicly routable). I have tried choking queue1 to 12Mb at some point and it seemed to alleviate some of the problems, although some internal servers still respond VERY slowly when it peaks.

Chad Unfortunately, nothing. These were brand new boxes, installed 5.3 from cd, cvsup'd to latest 5.3-Release, and starting installing the few ports we needed. I can't go to an RC. The higher powers won't allow running anything but a full release. It was a pretty big hassle even implementing 5.3 vs 4.x.

Dynamic IP and pf?
I have a cable modem that provides a dynamic IP address to the outside interface of my firewall(5.3 with PF doing NAT). If my IP address changes I have to run a script to update my dynamic dns and reload my firewall rules based on the new IP address. Is there a recommended way of doing this other than having cron check to see if the IP addresss has changed?

Is there a recommended way of doing this other than having cron check to see if the IP addresss has changed? the PF version integrated into 5.3 supports dynamic IPs by putting parentheses around the interface name as explained in http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/filter.html : excerpt The name of a network interface in parentheses ( ). This tells PF to update the rule if the IP address(es) on the named interface change. This is useful on an interface that gets its IP address via DHCP or dial-up as the ruleset doesn't have to be reloaded each time the address changes. /excerpt for example : my_if=hme0 [...] nat on $my_if proto tcp from any to any - ($my_if) [...] pass in quick on $my_if proto tcp from any to ($my_if) port domain flags S/SAFR keep state I have setup my pf ruleset using the parentheses. I didn't realize it would auto update them. I thought I would still need to reload the rules so that it re-reads the interface IP. I still have the dilemma of dynamic dns and a couple of other scripts that I run, based on the IP, that will require being run if the IP ever changes. I'm thinking there should be something I can do in /etc/dhclient.conf maybe to run them?
