We are using boards with ServerWorks chipsets on all our production
machines running 4.6 and 4.7-STABLE and we have had no problems in
almost two years. The PCI bridge on these boards shows up as a

pcib0:  on motherboard

Now, like all good BIOS manufacturers :-) they probably called them
something different even when we bought them.

I still have a FreeBSD-2.8 (-STABLE) system running which includes
sendmail-8.8.8. As the patches on sendmail.org only apply to
sendmail-8.9 - sendmail-8.12, i ported the patch.

Perhaps someone else needs this patch, so I've put it up for ftp at 
ftp://ftp.42.org/sendmail.8.8.8.patch

As I don't have an example E-Mail to test, I can not _guarantee_ that
this fixes it. But given the fact that I only had to change two lines
(which both were function declarations) from the official supported
patch, I'm sure that this patch fixes the problem.

CU,

If you don't think you had hardware problem, one possibility could be your 
kernel reached the default 1G size limit (esp with 2G or RAM). Check with:

  sysctl -a | fgrep kvm

if you kvm_free is get very close to the kvm_size, you may want to increase 
KVM_PAGES and see if that fixes your problem.

Re: Is XFree86 4.3.0 going to be in 4.8? -nt-

[Bruce A. Mah]

At this point, I'd guess probably not, given that there was (is?) some
amount of work for the MAINTAINER to do to get it to build correctly,
and there's not much chance for testing before the release, which is
only two weeks away.

That's just my guess, though, not a policy statement.  :-)

As of 13:06 EST, the commits had made it to head but were NOT tagged
with RELENG_4 or RELENG_5_0 from cvsup3.  I gave up and downloaded the
patch, which worked fine on both of the above.

Every cvsup mirror updates on a periodic schedule.  The commits to the
src tree (which happened about 30 minutes ago) probably haven't made
it to all the mirrors yet.  (You can see the changes in cvsweb,
probably the cvs-all mailing list archives as well.)

FreeBSD 5.0 and MySQL on NFS-mounted partition (NetApp)

[Mark Hennessy]

>From mysql compiled from ports:
Can't lock file (errno: 45)

I just rebuilt mysql 3.23.55 on FreeBSD 5.0, and I am trying to start
mysqld with my databases, and all of a sudden I'm getting this error.  I
was wondering if anyone has seen this and might know where I should start
looking?

Additionally, it appears that this error only comes up when the DATADIR
for MySQL is set to a directory on an NFS-mounted drive.  I have also
asked one of the MySQL lists, and they suggested looking at rpc.lockd,
but would that be needed if no writes were being made?

RE: wrong CPU frequency detection

FYI: Some bioses will reset the cpu frequency to a lower value if the
machine is reset during a post. (Thinking the user overclocked the cpu,
which caused the system to not boot)

Just because the processor is rated at 1200 doesn't mean that the
motherboard is running it at that speed.
Any time I've seen this problem, it was because the motherboard was
left to autodetect the CPU speed and didn't do so correctly (don't
know why they seem to incorrectly guess 1G)  Check your BIOS settings.

FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE #0: Mon Oct  7 17:54:30 YEKST 2002
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TIGER
Timecounter "i8254"  frequency 1193182 Hz
CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (1009.95-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x6b1  Stepping = 1

I have some FreeBSD-boxes running with CPU frequency lower than 1GHz -
FreeBSD detects them correctly.
Is it some kind of misconfiguration ? Can it cause problems ?

Thanks a lot.

  WBR.
