Re: /usr/src/Makefile instructions

2008-05-23 Thread soralx

 On that note, was I given misinformation when I was advised
 that it would be impossible to upgrade RELENG_6_2 directly to
 RELENG_7 ?

Close to implausible, perhaps? That would indeed be the case, unless you
truly are longing for a major workout, either with mergemaster et al, or
both with mergemaster and the ports. The former case, which assumes you
don't have many ports installed, is often a no-brainer: install a fresh
system. The latter case may be somewhat more complicated: install a fresh
system for the least effort on your side, or go the update route if you need
to keep your system up and usable during the process.

I should note that I always took the update trail, and never regretted it
afterwards (well, if only so slightly). For instance, my workstation lived
through 5.2.1-R, 6.2-R, RELENG_6, and finally RELENG_7, all with the aid of
cvsup. The process is straightforward, well-designed and easily executed
(thanks to the developers), but problems often pop-up with ports
(especially such messy ones as Gnome, etc) which take lots of time to
correct.

So, in summary, a sane person should probably go with clean system update.

Re: linker wiredness?

2006-05-10 Thread soralx

   FreeBSD's linker doesn't add /usr/local/lib to the search path by 
   default, unlike some other operating systems.  The -L/usr/local/lib 
   flag is therefore required...
  
  but ldconfig already found the library (line 441)!?
 
 ld(1) doesn't consult ldconfig(8).

oh, I was probably confused by the `man ldconfig`:

 The ldconfig utility is used to prepare a set of ``hints'' for use by the
 dynamic linker to facilitate quick lookup of shared libraries available [...]

The 'dynamic linker' doesn't mean 'compiler's linker' here, I suppose.

In any case, how do I tell ld(1) where to look without specifying '-L' or
modifying Makefie? I tried `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib` and
`echo /usr/local/lib  /etc/ld.so.conf`, but nothing changed.

so that means that my DVD writer is not ATAPI compatible? or am I doing

Re: writing CD-RWs with DVD?RW and burncd

2004-01-04 Thread soralx

 Well can u just tell me you fixed which drive on which bus and did u
 configure them master-slave specifically or did u go with CS?

I have LG CD-writer as master and the Asus DVD writer as slave on the
second ATA channel, both configured specifically with jumpers. I also
tried disconnecting the CD-Writer and leaving the DVD writer alone as
a master on the bus. I can also add that they are interfaced with 80-
-pin cable, and the LG CD-Writer writes the same CDs and CD-RWs well.

 I don't
 believe that the DVD Writer is not ATAPI compatible.

I find that strange too :)

 There is some
 configuration glitch somewhere.

i wish
the other DVD writer I had (i returned it and bough the Asus one instead,
coz it was junk), although it was broken, could write a CD with 'burncd',
then, while trying to fixate it (on very high speed!) it failed or just
halted.

 Btw I hope u r using 4.9-stable?

tested on 4.6.2-RELEASE and freshly installed 4.9-RELEASE

Re: STR

2002-10-17 Thread soralx
  Is STR (suspend to RAM) supported by FreeBSD any verrsion,
 Yes. It's very dependent on the machine.  You need to give more details.
 Hardware: Gigabyte GA-8HXP i850E+ICH4 mainboard, Pent4, RDRAM.
 BIOS: I can choose to use S1 or S3; recently I set S3 and
tested it with windoze2x10^3 - works OK.
`apm -e1 -d1 -h1`
`apm -Z` - doesn't do anything
`zzz` - stand-by
 System: FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE
if you need `dmesg`, `acpidump`, kernel|BIOS config, or something else - write

How does the 'apm' device technically work with hardware?
(interrupts,ports,APIC...)


Also, a quick question. I have in my kernel:
===
device ic
device iic
device iicsmb
device intpm
device smbus
device iic
device iicbus
device iicsmb
device iicbb
device bktr
device alpm
device ichsmb
device viapm
device smb
===

`dmesg|grep smb`:
'ichsmb0: SMBus controller port 0x540-0x55f irq 0 at device 31.3 on pci0',
so there is no '/dev/smb'.
what am I doing wrong?

 `apm -Z` - doesn't do anything

 What do you mean by that?
this is what I execute in console and the results
I exec `apm -Z` - nothing happens
I execute `zzz` - system goes to stand-by mode

 You do have apm enabled, do you?  In the GENERIC kernel, you have:
 # Power management support (see LINT for more options)
 deviceapm0at nexus? disable flags 0x20 # Advanced Power 
Management
yes:
device  apm0at nexus? # Advanced Power Management

 I've never used this, so I don't know.  Try a verbose boot (boot -v)
 and see if you get any further information.
it is a verbose boot :)
