Well, if it's put that way, make release will die because the GENERIC 
kernel will not fit on a floppy image. I've yet to determine what I 
think we should cut from the GENERIC kernel to make it fit, except to 
say that the GENERIC kernel should go on some kind of calorie 
restricted diet (no more bytes for the kernel) to prepare for the big 
day.

Ok, you are running out of KVM!  Yes indeed, that is what is happening.
It must be happening quickly or that while loop diagnostic you did
would have caught it.

(kgdb) print kernel_vm_end
$77 = 0xff40

I'm not entirely sure but I believe SMP boxes reserve more page table
pages then non-SMP boxes (e.g. an extra segment or two, and each segment
represents 4MB of VM).  So this could be hitting the limit.

I'm going to dump a bunch of statistics first, then I'll analyize them:

Different OSs have differing timing requirements and so forth... in the
end its an unsupported configuration and any functionality may be purely
conicidental. :-)

  We've prepared a small testing guide that highlights some of the
recent changes.  This guide is only a starting point, and the full
release notes provide a better overall picture of whats new in this
release :

   http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/qa.html

  If you are experiencing any problems with -STABLE then by all means
speak up now!

I'm using a 4 port PCI rocketport RJ45 card fine under -STABLE;

rp0:  port 0xa000-0xa0ff mem 0xef045000-0xef045fff,
  0xef044000-0xef044fff irq 11 at device 1.0 on pci2
RocketPort0 (Version 3.02) 16 ports.

(no idea why it says 16 ports, it is the 4 port version).

I use kermit to /dev/cuaR0 and can get out to the console of other
machines fine.

Re: Problems with mysql-server port

2002-09-05 Thread Phil Kernick

There was a bug in the uthread library for about 6 hours on August 1 that 
causes this problem.  (I know, I was bitten by it as well.)

cvsup to today and rebuild and the problem will go away.

Problems with mysql-server port

I tried to upgrade mysql on 3 machines to 3.23.52. All 3 machines are
-STABLE august 1. Client build works fine, server build fails:

checking for gcc... (cached) cc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create

Anyone have an idea what could be broken ? I see __sys_close as U in

Rocketport (rp) PCI card on stable ?

2002-09-05 Thread Mike Tancsa


I picked up a surplus Rocketport PCI card but am having problems getting it 
to run on STABLE. I can get it to work just fine under windows, so I know 
it works.  But I cant get it to work with FreeBSD. I have the /dev/cuaR# 
devices, but alas, no joy.  All I want to do is just be able to use it as a 
terminal server to connect to other FreeBSD boxes.

Its detected as
rp0:  port 0xd000-0xd03f irq 10 at device 10.0 on pci0
RocketPort0 = 8 ports
rp0: driver is using old-style compatibility shims

I am just using cu, but I tried minicom as well without luck.  Has anyone 
used this card with luck under STABLE ?

Re: Keyboard question

2002-09-05 Thread Justin

This is, in fact, an issue with the way PS/2 keyboards work; I'm not sure
of all the technical details, but basically they have a timer chip in them
that is required by the motherboard to work properly; modern machines that
can run headless will redirect at an internal chip if there is no keyboard
attached, but it requires resetting the keyboard bus (i.e. rebooting) to
get it to switch from the non-keyboard to the keyboard.  A USB keyboard,
or a keyboard emulator box that will plug into the PS/2 port and act like
a keyboard until you plug a real keyboard into it, is probably your best
bet.
