4.0-Stable Kernel Error?
Hi all, Since upgrading to 4.0-Stable, I've been getting a sporadic error message in /var/log/messages that shows up as follows: May 18 12:55:17 merlin /kernel: arp: unknown hardware address format (0x0800) It's showed up 3 times in the past 36 or so hours, but not at any point in time that I can narrow it down to occurring near/after/during any specific system event. Any idea what would be causing the error and how to go about fixing it? Thanks in advance, John To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
ECP parallel port hack
I am working with someone else on a temporary hack or workaround that will allow ECP parallel port users to use their ZIP drives. I can't take any of the credit for it, but i am helping post the fix. It appears that either ECP mode is not properly reported to the imm driver, or ECP mode is not correctly implemented. Does anyone know if there is ECP support in the ppbus driver as it stands right now? jm -- --- Jonathon McKitrick -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am a bomb technician.

Re: 4.0S fsck doesn't clean the fs

Hitting reset and letting the machine come back gets the kernel to accept that it is indeed clean. This is Any ideas? Cheers. You may still have block devices left in /dev, if you upgraded from an older version of FreeBSD. Check with "find /dev -type b -print" and replace them using /dev/MAKEDEV. David.

Any idea what would be causing the error and how to go about fixing it? My guess would be, apart from a possible bug, that you have a broken network card on your network spewing bad packets. Previous OS version might not have reported them. Try tcpdump to catch them ? Might be able to limit the display to packets not of type ether.
