Re: Showstopping FreeBSD 6.1 bug
Jeff, I hate to state (or rather ask) the obvious but are you sure you selected the appropriate options to install the kernel? One of the people were I work swore they had the exact same problem on an x86 they were installing on and it turned out that she was just forgetting to select an installation configuration that included the kernel. --Patrick - Original Message - From: Jeff Rollin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, August 20, 2006 6:05 pm Subject: Showstopping FreeBSD 6.1 bug To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Hello all I need to report a serious bug in 6.1-RELEASE. On both AMD64 and x86, sysinstall appears to work correctly but fails to install a kernel on the target filesystem. This has the additional effect of rendering the - bootonly.iso almost useless since if the error is not caught before rebooting, there is no live filesystem to repair the damage, and the emergency shell cannotfind any executables (it can, however, find executables directly after installing the system).

Promise Technology RAID Controller
Hey all, I was looking at getting a hardware RAID controller (that supports RAID 5) for my system and I saw the FastTrak SX4100 from Promise Technology. I didn't see FreeBSD listed under their list of supported operating systems and I was wondering if anyone knew weather or not anyone knew if there exists a driver that works for FreeBSD. Many Thanks. --Patrick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Promise Technology RAID Controller
I did not see it listed and afaik there is no official support. The nearest thing I saw was a manual entry on ataraid from quite a while back suggesting that RAID 5 wasn't supported, but I was wondering if anyone had managed to get any success with the card (since from my understanding ataraid is for OS controlled RAID and I'm looking at a hardware/firmware controller). Also, I did forget to mention that the system in question is FreeBSD 6.1 and I'm looking to boot off of this array (although if anyone was a working system that won't boot from the array I'm still interested).

I'd hazard a guess at it is simply by the number of other adaptec cards listed.

Security Run Output E-mail
I'm relatively ne to FreeBSD (~6 months of usage) and I have been administering my own system for approximately the last 2 months. Recently my system has received many ssh login attempts on standard user accounts as someone has been attempting to break into my system. I usually read the Security Run Output e-mails to see if the attacker(s) had made any headway, and took necessary precautions (limiting ssh logins etc). However, last week (after it seemed that the attacks had let up somewhat) I stopped receiving the e-mails (as well as the daily run output e-mails). I still read the auth.log file to see login information and it did not appear as though anyone had successfully managed to break into the system. Today the both sets of e-mails started again and I received the e-mails for today and yesterday (I am still missing 5 days worth and one weekly run output). I was wondering if anyone might know how to ensure that I continue to receive these e-mails without interrupti on. If it matters (and I suspect it does) I have all my root e-mails aliased to a locked, nologin dummy account that forwards e-mail to my account, my boss' account, and retains a copy in the dummy account (.forward was not working to forward root's mail). Root's mail client is set to read the dummy account inbox as well as anything that somehow winds up in the regular root mailbox. This setup worked fine until the e-mails stopped last week (none of the listed accounts received the e-mail). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. --Patrick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
