mss_* problems during 5.2.1 install
I just purchased a new HP Proliant DL585 quad-opteron system. The only supported OS's are SuSE and RedHat Enterprise. But, I thought what the heck I'll try trusty FBSD on it. 4.10 installed perfectly, however I really want 64-bit support.. So it looks like 5.2.1-RELEASE for me. However, when trying to boot into setup from the minimal install CD, I hit a roadblock: mss_probe: no address given, try 0x530 mss_detect, busy still set (0xff) This repeats enough times that it scrolls off the screen and I can't tell exactly what happens before it, and the system is frozen so I can't scroll back. The machine has an integrated Broadcom Gigabit, which it detects fine, and a HP Smart Array RAID controller, which it also seems to detect. That's the only peripherals that I'm using. I've tried disabling the integrated lights-out processor and changing IRQ's of the PCI devices with no luck, The RAID controller is in a 133MHz PCI-x slot, if that makes a difference. Help PLEASE! I don't want to be forced to put Linux on this beast! -- End of Forwarded Message ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
md0: Preloaded image - system hangs on install
Like the subject says.. I'm trying to install 5.2.1-RELEASE on a Compaq Proliant 6000 (dual Xeon, 1GB RAM, Compaq SCSI RAID). When booting the CD: It gets to this message: md0: Preloaded image (/boot/mfsroot) 4423680 bytes at 0xc09e16d8 at this point the system seems to hang with no recourse other than to restart. The CD is known good (just installed fine on the box next to it, different hardware), and this box is currently running another OS without any problems. Can anyone explain why this might fail and if I can do something about it? -Dan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: perl pause or wait

Problem is the newsyslog rotate has not completed creating the new .0 and rolling through the other .x files before the first perl script in trying to open the .0 file for processing. Is there in perl pause or wait command I can use to allow some time to elapse before continuing with the launch of the next script? Yes, use the sleep() function. perldoc -f sleep for more information. -Dan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
