Re: Compaq Smart Array 431 support
Jim, Yes, I am using this controller. One note...it did NOT get recognized by the 4.1 release CD, the ida driver was fixed shortly after release to recognize this card.

mounting ATAPI cdroms
Have the problems with mounting ATAPI CDROMs been resolved in the stable branch? I did a fresh cvsup last night (9/3/00), made world and a new kernel this morning, and I am still unable to mount my CDRW drive. Potentially this is a problem with my hardware, although the drive is able to write CDROMs and play music CDs. If mounting CDROMS is working for everyone else, then I'll suspect my hardware. a. -- Allan Strand, Biologyhttp://linum.cofc.edu College of Charleston Ph.

Re: some problems with 4.1 stable
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2000 18:08:51 +0200 From: Michel TALON [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have just made world from cvsup done last friday. All went fine but from 3 hours of compilation on a Pentium 300 with 256Megs (when doing 3.* it was not much than 1 hour). The machine works except some problems. First i wanted to use sysinstall to format a new disk. It ends out with no disks found. Thinking a new sysinstall was needed i tried to recompile it. But no luck! cc -Os -march=pentiumpro -pipe -Wall -I/usr/src/release/sysinstall/../../gnu/lib/libdialog -I/usr/src/release/sysinstall -I/usr/src/release/sysinstall/../../sys -c kget.c kget.c:40: machine/uc_device.h: No such file or directory kget.c: In function `kget': kget.c:83: sizeof applied to an incomplete type kget.c:85: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type kget.c:86: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type kget.c: You do need to rebuild sysinstall. To do so, go to /usr/src/release/sysinstall and "make all install". Builds fine on all of my systems, but you are using somewhat different compile options. I use: "cc -O -pipe -Wall". I can't see why the -march option should cause these errors, though. I would be more suspicious of -Os. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

problems with make world (Sunday)
Hi all, I am a newbie to FreeBSD development, so please bear with me. I am currently using FreeBSD-4.0 RELEASE. I did a fresh cvsup (using RELENG_4 tag, that would get me a stable branch, right?) and "make world" on Sunday and the build failed somewhere in objc contribs for gcc. I made logs of the build and will send them later today. In the meantime, I was wondering if this is a known problem and whether there are workarounds for this. Nikita.

You need to compare what you have against GENERIC. It has been 4 or 5 days since I did a cvsup and all of the builds and installs. Kent Nikita.

Re: problems with make world (Sunday)
What I've seen in the UPDATING file seems to refer to 3.X upgraded to 4.X As far as I can tell there is no special documented procedure for updating within the 4.X line. Should be able to do everything in the ordinary way. I've done it that way on the current system. Along those same lines ... I'm having trouble with one of my 4.0 servers trying to update it to 4.1 and getting all kinds of weird errors in doing the kernel. Just re-cvsuped and trying again. I cvsuped on Sunday as well. I think maybe something in the system was broken. -Bill Kent Stewart wrote: You didn't read /usr/src/UPDATING.

Re: problems with make world (Sunday)
Hi again, I did another cvsup (several, in fact) before posting my first message. I also tried "make buildworld" several times after the first build failed. Of course, I removed obj directory in a manner similar to what was suggested by some of you each time. I am using a very simple script that automates the build from freebsddiary.org Yes, it is the build that fails, not the install. If I remember correctly, the build does not even finish building all the stuff in the tools stage (but proceeds for a long time with no errors). I guess you'll have to wait until I am done with my work for the day and get back to the (non-networked) machine on which I have the build logs and post excerpts from them. My only guess at this point is that I managed to not have some C/C++ libraries installed... Well, FreeBSD 4.0 install from the CD set is quite buggy, given that there are 4 CDs and some of the packages/distributions on the first CD are dependent on packages on other CDs and fail to install from the /stand/sysinstall, not even prompting you for the other CD. So that could have happened. I am still hunting down various components across CDs and adding them with pkg_add. -j4 should only affect number of simultaneous processes. Since I have a dual-processor machine, I may try -j8. Thanks for assuring me that the branch is not broken. I was about to ditch FreeBSD with disgust thinking that "these losers even have their stable branch broken...". Just kidding! Nikita.

BTW, I would highly recommend not using "make world", since this does the build and install all at once. If things go wrong during the build, you won't have a chance to fix them before the world is installed. By splitting them up with buildworld and installworld, you give yourself the chance to fix buildworld problems before you install them. Also note that to upgrade your kernel (which you have to do every time you do an installworld), continue on as such: 5. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 6. cp GENERIC your_kernel_here 7. Edit your_kernel_here to your liking (be sure to check out /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT which has all the possible config options. 8. cd /usr/src/ 9. make -j4 buildkernel 10. iff no errors, make -j4 installkernel The notes say to drop to single user before you do installworlds, but I haven't had any problems doing them in multiuser mode (besides, I don't have a console on my BSD machine, so single user is pretty difficult). Good luck, and let me know if you have any problems.
