BSDstats Project: Our ultimate goal ...
First off, thanks to *everyone* on this list ... those that have provided suggestions on both what should be included, as well as some of the coding that has been used (my shell scripting isn't as strong as my perl / php *sigh*) ... but, without people actually willing to *run* the script and report the information in, there would be no project ... Although the site itself is *very* rough looking (my 4 year old daughter is more creative then I), I *just* put in place my personal goal for all of this ... what drivers are in use, and what vendors/chipsets ... Check out: http://bsdstats.hub.org/drivers.php The header line is a bit mis-leading, as it says 'Systems' ... its not Systems, but # of times that driver has been used across all the systems ... for instance, from one of my systems: # select * from devices where id = 1; id | driver | vendor | device |report_month +-+++ 1 | agp0| 8086 | 2570 | 2006-08-07 03:28:22.607144 1 | pcib1 | 8086 | 2571 | 2006-08-07 03:28:23.128248 1 | pcib2 | 8086 | 244e | 2006-08-07 03:28:23.554153 1 | isab0 | 8086 | 24d0 | 2006-08-07 03:28:23.966463 1 | atapci0 | 8086 | 24db | 2006-08-07 03:28:24.687109 1 | atapci1 | 8086 | 24d1 | 2006-08-07 03:28:25.096418 1 | pcm0| 8086 | 24d5 | 2006-08-07 03:28:25.563785 1 | nvidia0 | 10de | 0322 | 2006-08-07 03:28:26.21311 1 | fxp0| 8086 | 1229 | 2006-08-07 03:28:26.722562 (9 rows) the pcib driver is used twice, as is the atapci driver ... again, wording could be improved ... so the count is # of devices using that driver ... The information used to generate drivers.php is the same as used by pciconf -v, namely from: http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/downloads/pcidevs.txt Does anyone know how often that list get updated, by chance?

Ok i love the Idea of this, and will have all my machines running that in no time.

problems with module under 6.1
I am attempting to install the module svr4 under FreeBSD version 6.1 I initially tried to run my SVR4 binary by compiling svr4 right into the kernel. The kernel compiles, but the svr4 binary will not run. Attempting to run my svr4 binary gives the error; 1250 Abort trap: 6 I know my svr4 binary runs under FreeBSD 4.9, so I figure "fine, I can load the module. Presently, under my 4.9 system, modules are; Id Refs AddressSize Name 16 0xc010 402368 kernel 22 0xc0dc3000 a000 ibcs2.ko 31 0xc0dd 3000 ibcs2_coff.ko 41 0xc0dd6000 15000linux.ko 51 0xc0df4000 3000 streams.ko 61 0xc0df7000 15000svr4.ko Back to my problem 6.1 system; I looked in /boot/kernel but the svr4.ko file doesn't exist. So I went into /sys/modules/svr4 and attempt to compile it. I get errors that the files opt_sysvipc.h and opt_ktrace.h were missing. A locate command found that those files were available elsewhere in the system, so now I try copying those files to /sys/modules/svr4. Following another compile, now svr4.ko is created, but it will not load; 192# kldload svr4 kldload: can't load svr4: File exists Of course it won't - it's compiled into the system. So I take the module -out- of configuration file, and I recompile the kernel. Again I have to compile the svr4 separately. When I try to load it now after reboot, I get; # cd /boot/kernel # kldload svr4 kldload: can't load svr4: No such file or directory OK - so I try and add the extension; # kldload svr4.ko kldload: can't load svr4.ko: No such file or directory Yet the file exists; # ls -tld /boot/kernel/svr4.ko -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 79856 Aug 7 20:33 /boot/kernel/svr4.ko # I checked /sys/modules/svr4/README and checked that streams in compiled into the kernel, which it is. Now I am at a loss as to where to go from here. My next step is to cvsup the system and rebuild and reinstall world. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Supposedly if you set up wine to emulate Win2K it'll work better, but not perfectly (like WINE ever worked perfectly :) and there are patches in the pipeline that'll help with some other problems.
