The tip was to make, make install the kernel from the kernel directory instead of make buildkernel from /usr/src (the usaul way right?). Well this tip did help me, I was able to build.install the kernel ( thank you very much someon). This tip was fo systems that hadn't run make buildworld (?). I had already done the buildworld thing I just still got errors. Why? Just to go over what I used to do (using 4.4-STABLE): do cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ cp GENERIC FREEBIE ee FREEBIE # change ident from GENERIC to FREEBIE config FREEBIE cd ../../compile/FREEBIE make depend cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=FREEBIE /do I would then get the errors with ipfilter. So after the helpfull tip from someone I would newdo # make depend make make install /newdo Now that woked. I would just like to know why I'm having trouble with my original way?

If you burn your finger that's the problem :) Its a K6-2 450. The heatsink is fine (not even remotely warm to the touch). All the fans are running correctly and the ambiant temp in the case seems ok. The MB doesn't have the env monitoring stuff so I don't know the exact temps. Seriously tho' there were problems with one of the k6 chips, but it's so long ago I can't remember clearly whether it's the 450. What's the core voltage printed on the chip, and what's the M/B core voltage set to. There should also be a revision number. While you do that I'll see if I can find the info. If I'm correct there were two versions with different core voltages - one of which was suspect. Anyone remember this? I remember something about that. I have the later revision (the one with the 2.2 core voltage).. I don't know what the version of the chip is. The stepping is 12. (it would require me to take the heatsink off and unglue it (from the heatsink compound)). Yeah, I think this is the good one. What brand is the mobo, maybe someone else has one. Its an FIC PA-2013. Never seen one of these, sorry. I did check the IDE cable. I didn't see any problem with it. I replaced it with a brand new cable I had in a box and it didn't make any difference. It should be noted, that I have had FreeBSD on this machine before. It was a while ago (3.2 I believe). But, until now, I haven't done to much with this system. 3.2 installed fine and I didn't have any corruption problems. I haven't gotten very far with 4.4 though... Can't get past compining the stuff in ports. -- Keith Mitchell Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available upon request Well I'm about out of good advice appart from the usual stuff, which you seem to have covered :( Desperation Pull ALL the cards and the LS120 and run from one drive if possible.

Have you tried investigating the netgraph subsystem, and ng_ether(4) in particular, perhaps in connection with the mpd-netgraph port? I haven't done it myself, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't use that combination to produce a PPPoE link. It can do just about anything else. I do use mpd-netgraph to run an MS-PPTP VPN link to the office, and it does that nicely. Entirely different issue of course, but I was most impressed with the ng framework when I read about it. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

ipfilter accounting on VLAN
Hello I've notice one strangeness in accounting, produced by ipfilter 3.4.20 on FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE (ipf is built-in on system) Numbers in accounting rules, which applies to VLAN interface (vlan0, vlan1, vlan2, etc) - VLANs have dot1q encapsulation, just get doubled, seems to be that ipf counts packets twice - one time on physical iface, second - on logical. Accounting on physical interfaces works just fine.

problems with BusLogic (aka Mylex) BT-948 controller
A while back, I had written about repeated kernel warnings of CCB timeouts on one of my machines. The messages are like these, with varying hex values: Sep 30 03:07:18 lorax /kernel: (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xc7830040 - timed out Sep 30 03:07:26 lorax /kernel: (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xc7830040 - timed out Sep 30 03:07:26 lorax /kernel: bt0: No longer in timeout This card worked flawlessly under BSD/OS, where Buslogic controllers were the preferred devices. The driver under BSD/OS was extremely well done. Simply installing FreeBSD on this box resulted in these errors. The above errors are repored under a recent kernel/world. FreeBSD lorax.kciLink.com 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Wed Sep 26 10:06:43 EDT 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/u/lorax1/usr/src/sys/LORAX i386 The dmesg output is below. My query last December resulted in two replies. One person said running a cron job to sync once per minute cleared his problem with a Mylex 958. Another person said to check cables. I recall someone saying that the drive was going bad, but that was directly to me, not the list. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=177791+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-stable/20001210.freebsd-stable In the archives, I found a query from July 2000 with similar issues with a Mylex 958. There was one response to it (not linked in the archive) that indicated an older BIOS should be used in the card. I have BIOS 5.05R, which is older than the BIOS in the original query. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=907153+909002+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-stable/2709.freebsd-stable http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1089306+1092247+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-stable/2709.freebsd-stable Also, from December 1997, I found a message regarding older Adaptec controllers getting these errors under load. This person said as far as he can tell it is a driver issue, since the cards work fine with other operating systems, similar to my experience. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=0+2928+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-stable/2618.freebsd-stable Other than these kernel warnings (and the pause caused by these timeouts) the machine runs just fine. It has never crashed either under BSD/OS nor FreeBSD on its own... Does this seem like a driver issue? I kind of feel like it is as it only happens under heavy load. I get the timeouts on the second drive as well when I pound on it. I don't think both drives are going bad simultaneously... Copyright (c) 1992-2001 The FreeBSD Project.
