Re: serial port config
So, let me get this straightI am going to add: device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 to the kernel configuration, aka the GENERIC file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf if the system is not customized at all? What you are doing is to tell the kernel what he needs to do to configure that device. If by not customized at all you mean you don't have the hardware in the computer yet, there is no problem, when you will boot the kernel it will give up if there is no hardware. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

make release question
Hi, I have a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 machine. I want to create a release from that system to install FreeBSD on other machines. I have been reading the handbook about how to make a release and I have a question. As far as I understood, the way to create a relese could be: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # cd release # make release CHROOTDIR=/local3/release BUILDNAME=5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 \ CVSROOT=/usr MAKE_ISOS=YES RELEASETAG=RELENG_5.2 Is that correct? I have doubts about the CVSROOT variable. As far as I understood, that variable points to the cvsrepository where you have the sources you want to use to create the release. In my case in /usr I have the 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 sources. Well, launching the above commands I get the following error: -- Installing everything.. -- cd /usr/src; make -f Makefile.inc1 install === share/info install -o root -g wheel -m 444 dir-tmpl /local3/release/usr/share/info/dir === include creating osreldate.h from newvers.sh touch: not found *** Error code 127 Stop in /usr/src/include. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/release.

Re: correct way to upgrade ssh
I have seen a few threads lately about ssh and upgrading/updating it. What is the correct method for updating ssh that was installed as part of the base system. Uninstall and install openssh from ports? As you say, openssh is part of the base system. So just follow the typical process (handbook is our friend) and update your sources, compile and so on.

using /usr/ports between jails
Hi: I want to share my /usr/ports between some jails. /usr/ports and jails are running on the same machine.

ethereal port - problems linking with libnetsnmp
Hi all: I am trying to install ethereal from ports. But I always get the same error at the link stage: /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so: undefined reference to `des_cbc_encrypt' /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so: undefined reference to `des_key_sched' /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so: undefined reference to `des_ncbc_encrypt' It seems that ethereal port expects another libnetsnmp which is really curious because I have the lib version which ports requires: big:/usr/ports/net/ethereal $ make pretty-print-build-depends-list ... net-snmp-5.0.9 ... big:/usr/ports/net/ethereal $ portversion -v | grep net-snmp net-snmp-5.0.9 = up-to-date with port So it seems that ethereal requires a library which when linked with ethereal sources doesn't offer the necessary simbols. Anyone can help me with this topic? BTW, My ports are up to date. I have tried to deinstall net-snmp-5.0.9 but I get the same error as well. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sound Card ALi M5451
Hi all: I am trying to configure my laptop (hp omnibook xt6200) with FBSD and I'm a bit stucked with the sound card: it is a ALi M5451. It seems that it is not supported (I am running 4.8-STABLE). I have found a patch on internet to get working this card (check: http://home.att.ne.jp/delta/athlete/m5451_e.html) but I want to know your experiences with this card before to try the patch.

RELENG_5 ?
Hi all: I have been using FreeBSD in production enviroments so I used FreeBSD 4.7 and 4.8. Now, I have installed FreeBSD 5.1 on my laptop. So I decided to keep track of the -RELEASE_5 (STABLE). But It seems that there is not such a branch on the repository. Reading diferent links at freebsd.org. It seems that there is only to branchs for 5.1: -CURRENT -RELENG_5_1 The first one, I think can be a very agresive for my intentions. The second one, instead, will not modify my sources to improve the performace because it is a patch branch. If I am not wrong with this, what will be the reason to install 5.1 instead 4.8? I mean, 5.1 has more features but a worst performace that 4.8. On the other hand, there is no -STABLE branch of 5.1 so the only way to keep you system up to date is follow the -CURRENT branch which is a little agresive in my case.

Re: usb device driver skeleton?
May I ask what USB device you are writing for, as I am looking at developing a USB interface for UPS support so NUT can use my UPS (ATM I can only use it under Linux ikkies)So we may be able to share knowledge and reach both our goals faster. It would be great. We can talk about it by email. Regarding to my USB device, it is a mp3 player based on compact flash. I would like to create a char device driver to implement the classical read/write/open/close/ioctl syscalls. I am still reading and searching for information to create the driver but I think that there is a lack of information about this topic. What do you think about? If we make the driver, it would be interesting to create some docs for other BSD device driver writers... BTW is there a USB team in FreeBSD ? I have been talking with Nick Hibma, he has a USB-freebsd homepage, in fact there is a mailing list. He told me that there is no doc/paper that explain the structs/macros to develope usb drivers. We will have to read code from other drivers which will be more complicated but that is the only solution... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
