Broken sound with 4.4-RC
Hi! I was running old 4.3-STABLE and sound worked fine. After updating to 4.4-RC via cvsup (past 4.4RC4-STATE) audo playback suffers of frequent breakages: instead of music I hear metallic jar within less then a second. Then music continues, then another jar etc. Very annoying. I use pcm driver. $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Sep 2 2001 21:38:50 Installed devices: pcm0: Yamaha OPL-SAx at io 0x530 irq 5 drq 0:1 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex) I will be happy to supply as much additional information as it needs. My card is ISA PnP Yamaha OPL3-SA2. Eugene Grosbein To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

4.4RC5: snd module testing (Test #1)
Hi, 1. Downloaded and installed the 4.4RC5 ISO image. 2. Booted as root. Test: kldload (sound modules) 1. kldload snd_pcm : shows no errors 2. kldload snd_mss : shows sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 3 3. kldload snd_sbc : shows sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 3 4. kldstat : shows kernel,linux,snd_pcm,snd_mss,snd_sbc.ko loaded. Note: Should this information be correct? I trying to test this method instead of recompiling the kernel. I need to check to see if sound works next. Next test: kldunload 1. kldunload snd_sbc : no errors 2. kldunload snd_mss : no errors 3. kldunload snd_pcm : no errors 4. kldstat : kernel,linux.ko loaded only. Note: I have seen a system crash during this test in 4.4RC4. I will the main test. 1. kldload snd : loads all snd modules (errors below) Note: I get errors about device_probe_and_attach: csa0 attach returned 6 and /kernel: sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0. Also, I get /kernel: csa: card is unknown/invalid SSID (CS4610) and /kernel: csa0: CS4610/CS4611 mem 0x5000-0x500f,0x5010-0x5010f irq 11 at device 6.0 on pci0. - I have a Thinkpad 600e (2645-4au) with the CS4610 PCI Accelerator and a CS4239 ISA audio sound chip. 2. kldstat : shows kernel.ko,linux.ko, and all the snd modules loaded. 3. kldunload snd : No errors 4. kldstat : shows kernel.ko, linux.ko only No systems crashes using the GENERIC kernel and testing loading and unloading of sound modules. Will try a custom kernel next. Ken Mays 4.4RC5 P.S.

These failures, in general, don't recur if the make is rerun from the failure point -- even with -j 8 or more. I frequently run with -j 16 when I'm doing kernel builds and buildworlds, and I haven't had any of those fail in a longish time. -- Mike Andrews [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tired old sysadmin since 1964 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

$MANPATH problem.
Greetings, I decided to build a toolkit for myself that I'd be able to port around to various boxes. In doing so, I'd also like to port my man pages around as well. However, I noticed a problem here under 4.3-RELEASE. It follows... $ echo $MANPATH /path/to/alternate/man: $ man -d foo ctype locale env: Invalid argument using less as pager using i386 architecture found mandatory man directory /usr/share/man found mandatory man directory /usr/share/perl/man found optional man directory /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/man found manpath map /usr/bin -- /usr/share/man found manpath map /usr/local/bin -- /usr/local/man found manpath map /usr/X11R6/bin -- /usr/X11R6/man search path for pages determined by manpath is /path/to/alternate/man Warning: couldn't stat file /path/to/alternate/man! Warning: couldn't stat file ! No manual entry for foo $ man -v man: illegal option -- v man, version 1.1 [snip] Basically anytime that I have MANPATH set to a variable, I don't even get system man pages. I couldn't find bug report info for `man'. Any help is appreciated. - #0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

Big improvement going from -j1 to -j4, but after that it didn't help much] That sounds exactly like what I would expect. More than 2 (or maybe 3) jobs per CPU is normally not going to make things go faster but might actually slow it down. Increasing the number of jobs running in parallell up to the number of CPUs will naturally increase performance. (Since otherwise you have some unused processors.) The reason why running more than one job/CPU might be good is that the processes uses a mixture of I/O and CPU. If you run two jobs in parallell then one can use the CPU while the other waits for I/O. This increases the efficiency in total resource usage. If you run more than that things will not improve much since you can only have one process using a CPU at a particular time. And if you have several processes trying to access a disk at the same time the disk will spend a lot of time seeking back and forth which is a sure way of making a system slow. So for a system with P processors the speed improvements for using -jN with N 2*P is normally going to be fairly small. (While the speed improvments when increasing N from 1 up to 2*P can often be noticable, especially when going from 1 to P.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.
