First of all, when you have a -stable problem, you are supposed ask question like this on the stable list. There, most of us have seen this, and made it past. It seems to come in 2 or 3 levels. If you are part of the easy (1st group), the instruction in /usr/src/UPDATING will get you past this problem. The headers used to be generated and now they are part of the souce. Combinations of rm and make cleandir are required. If the UPDATING doesn't fix it, look at the archive for stable. All of the solutions are available there. Kent Looking forward your replies. ...

Re: Weird wedge with ep0 ethernet and dhclient
Moin, moin! I wrote on %.3s, %lld Sep 1993 I've been semi-consistently having my machine freeze up in a weird way when attempting to run /sbin/dhclient when the Cabal Modem is connected to an ep0 3Com 3C509 card. [...] What I still haven't done is to swap the card into a completely different make of machine and see if I get the same wedges, or if I DO!! I DO!!@! On a much more modern machine, but still with ISA slots, I see the same thing. About five seconds after the ``Doing initial netwerk setup: hostname'' appears on the screen, the Scroll Lock key fails to toggle illumination of its LED and the machine is deader than a deceased doornail. However, once again, after going multi-user with the Cabal modem net disconnected, I can connect it, and give the `dhclient' command and now it works without wedging (which isn't always the case, as I recall) I have at the moment but a single card type ep/3C509, so I can't say yet if I just have a bum card; likewise, I have no Real Network into which I can plug this ep card and see if I get similar wedges during conditions of traffic. I'll play with this card and dhclient a bit more to see if I can come up with anything more useful and concrete. And I'll also see how a Different OS handles this card with the ISC dhclient. more l8r d00dz thanks barry bouwsma To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

HTTP_PROXY in /etc/make.conf doesn't make it into the environment
Hi all! In /etc/defaults/make.conf there are sample entries suggesting that you could set HTTP_PROXY or FTP_PROXY in /etc/make.conf and have fetch et. al. honour it - like when installing ports. Unfortunately this has no effect at all on the operation of make install in some port's directory. You have to setenv these values for fetch to work. If this is on purpose, why are these sample entries in /etc/defaults/make.conf? Thanks, Patrick M.

Re: HTTP_PROXY in /etc/make.conf doesn't make it into the environment
They are, as far as I can tell, incorrect, I have been using FETCH_ENV= HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3128/ for a while in /etc/make.conf. Note that the syntax is different than 4.4, and it caused a bit of stir during our recent OS upgrades to 4.5. - Mike H. From: Patrick M.

Re: Strange lock-ups during backup over nfs after adding 1024M RAM
I am also encountring strange lock-ups with high traffic situation on DUMMYNET. I have managed to avoid those lock-ups by adjusting the granularity of the kernel options HZ=1000 # originally 100 Quoting Sergey Gershtein [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Thursday, January 31, 2002 Peter Jeremy wrote: PJ It looks like you've run out of kernel memory. At a quick guess, one PJ of the nfsd processes is trying to open a file and can't allocate PJ space for another inode whilst holding locks on other inodes. The PJ lockup is either due to the lack of KVM, or the inode locks are PJ migrating up towards root and gathering more processes under their PJ clutches until nothing can run. PJ If you monitor the memory usage with vmstat -m, you should be PJ able to see the free memory drop to zero, possibly all eaten by PJ the FFS node. I've set up a cron job to monitor vmstat -m every 5 minutes so I can see what happens just before the next lock-up. By the way, the file system that is being backuped has a lot (more than 1,000,000) of small files (less than 1Kb each). PJ That triggers a faint memory about a problem with doing this, but PJ I thought it was now fixed. How old are your sources? RELENG_4_4 cvsuped a week ago (Jan 24th). For some reason we don't cvsup 4.5 until it becomes RELEASE. PJ Increasing the amount of physical RAM increases the amount of KVM PJ required to manage the RAM, reducing the amount of memory available PJ for other things. I didn't keep your original posting and I can't PJ remember what MAXUSERS is set to - from memory it is either 128 PJ (which seems too small) or 1024 (which seems too large). Try altering PJ maxusers to 400-500 and see if that helps. The initial value of MAXUSERS was 512, I tried lowering it to 128 according to Doug White's advice, but it did not help. Another server with the same hardware (which does not lock up) has MAXUSERS 1024, but it also does not have over 1,000,000 small files to backup. PJ If you still have problems, I think you'll need one of the FS gurus. My hope was to find gurus on this list, I have no clue where else I can search for them. :( Nevertheless, thank you for your help!

It is therefore better to supply the error messages from a buildworld without -jN flag. Patrik This is a bit OT but I just wanted to add that sometimes (depending on hardware of course) it's faster to make buildworld without -j flags. My machine used to do 'make -j4 buildworld' in ~27 minutes, but when I tried without '-j4' it compiled in under 21 minutes. -Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

FreeBSD 4.5 seems to have partially solved the problem with the NEC 5000 series, at least to the point where it will install. Install is not successful via CD-ROM due to numerous read overruns and such. However, an FTP install does in fact work. APM does not appear to work. XFree86 4.1.x also works, using the shell config, not the graphical one. I am unsure as to whether or not the sound works, but that's largely irrelevent for my purposes.
