ACPI problems with Dell laptops? (was: Jerky keyboard and mouse)

Heh. I saw the subject line and thought I wonder if this is a Dell laptop. In particular, when I type about 1 in 10 key presses simply do not register. This, however, is a order of magnitude worse than what I have experienced with my Inspiron 6100. I ended up going back to the Nov 4 stable-6, which fixed the problem. Well, it worked around it. Any ideas? I am happy to provide any details you may need. I'd guess that this is another ACPI issue like the one I reported a couple of weeks back. In my case, it was slow, but I didn't lose any keystrokes. What happens when you ping another system? I found that the ping time was normal (in the order of 1 µs), but it repeated only every 3 seconds. When I unloaded ACPI, things worked normally. I'm following this up to the ACPI list with a reminder that my message has been there for 2 weeks. How do I localize the problem?

FBSD 6-STABLE usb problem: umass0: BBB reset failed, IOERROR
Hello, whilst copying files from SD-Card via usb card reader with mcopy, I encountered the following error with FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE from 15.11.2005. Even though the device was reattached automatically (nice improvement, btw!), this error is very annoying. Is this behaviour already known, or should I file a pr?

Re: message too long when sending broadcasts
On Sun, 20 Nov 2005, Michael Voucko wrote:
Berkeley-derived kernels do not allow a broadcast datagram to be
fragmented. If the size of an IP datagram that is being sent to a
broadcast address exceeds the outgoing interface MTU, EMSGSIZE is
returned (pp. 233?234 of TCPv2). This is a policy decision that has
existed since 4.2BSD. There is nothing that prevents a kernel from
fragmenting a broadcast datagram, but the feeling is that broadcasting
puts enough load on the network as it is, so there is no need to
multiply this load by the number of fragments. AIX, FreeBSD, and
MacOS implement this limitation. Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX fragment
datagrams sent to a broadcast address.
Maybe it's worth adding this information somewhere to make it easier to
find?
It would also be quite easy to make this configurable -- the code in
ip_output is fairly straight forward:
/*
* Look for broadcast address and
* verify user is allowed to send
* such a packet.
*/
if (isbroadcast) {
if ((ifp-if_flags IFF_BROADCAST) == 0) {
error = EADDRNOTAVAIL;
goto bad;
}
if ((flags IP_ALLOWBROADCAST) == 0) {
error = EACCES;
goto bad;
}
/* don't allow broadcast messages to be fragmented */
if (ip-ip_len ifp-if_mtu) {
error = EMSGSIZE;
goto bad;
}
if (flags IP_SENDONES)
ip-ip_dst.s_addr = INADDR_BROADCAST;
m-m_flags |= M_BCAST;
} else {
m-m_flags = ~M_BCAST;
}
We could add a global option, or maybe just an IP socket option.

FBSD-6 usb/scanner-access-rights
Hello, I am slightly unsatisfied with user rights management, especially with usb-devices, but also with access to cd/dvd-burners for the following reason: I'd like to be able to allow access to burners that are accessed as scsi-devices (via atapicam) for some users, but for that to work it is not sufficient to allow access via cd0/cd1, but I also have to allow the corresponding passx-devices. For usb-scanner it is even worse. If I allow access to uscanner0, this does not work unless I also allow the corresponding /dev/usbx-device. umassx is also accessed as dax-device and also therefore needs some da-devices to be allowed rw-access for 'ordinary' users. I don't relly like to allow direct access to the related devices (dax, passy - especially if the system is using scsi-disks). Is there an easy way to name the devices a user might be allowed to access rw, without compromising the system? I don't want to give operator group to these users, and I don't want to blindly allow access to some da- or pass-devices where I cannot determine the order of numbering easily. I hope this does not sound ignorant. Pointers to helpful information are also welcome :-) Regards, Holger Kipp ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re : Re: building gnome2 on freebsd6-stable
thanks for replying.
No, I actually did not have gnome installed, as I'm running fluxbox but may be
I had some sub-gnome ports installed that I didn't notice and that are
responsible for the build failure.
May be I should uninstall all *gnome* ports and restart.

Objet: Re: building gnome2 on freebsd6-stable
Did you have gnome in before and you started to
try to build it?
Go to http://www.freebsd.org/gnome. There is an
upgrade script there. I used it partially, it got
me about half way. Turned out that I had an ethernet
speed/duplex issue much of the time, and was having
trouble downloading.
After a day of manually downloading (ftp worked, fetch,
which is used by the script had trouble) and restarting the
script, I gave up on it and used portmanager. That worked
better, but still had a couple of issues.
About this time, I got the duplex issue fixed on the switch,
and then went back to /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 and from there
everything worked.
The problem is that you'll get out of order with dependancies
if you just start in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2.
I'm having one problem with gnome 2.12. The screensaver won't
start up. It complains about not being able to contact the
messagebus. Any help here?

And: allowing specific users access to xpt might also not be a very good idea according to the man-page: Since the xpt driver allows direct access to the CAM subsystem, system administrators should exercise caution when granting access to this driver. If used improperly, this driver can allow userland applications to crash a machine or cause data loss. If that is not fine-grained enough, maybe ACLs might help. See setfacl(1). so we currently have: - rights needed not only for the device itself, but also for the bus and or control devices (passx, usbx, xpt0) - dynamic numbering (passx). I agree that usb is a nightmare and should never have happened.

It was an example. I don't have many usb devices, so it works for me. :-) If that is not fine-grained enough, maybe ACLs might help. See setfacl(1). so we currently have: - rights needed not only for the device itself, but also for the bus and or control devices (passx, usbx, xpt0) Yes, but ACL give fine-grained access control. And no matter how you look at it, you _have_ to trust the person whom you give access to the pass devices. It's in the FreeBSD architecture. - dynamic numbering (passx). I agree that usb is a nightmare and should never have happened. :-) For disc devices, you could use GEOM_LABEL. That'll give you consistent /dev/label/ names.

cmbat related ACPI change between 6.0-release and Nov 10th -stable sources is making Dell laptops to hang
Hi, Since I upgraded from 6.0-release to 6.0-stable on Nov 10th, my laptop hangs for about 1-2 seconds everytime a battery monitoring tool asks for the cmbat battery status. My laptop is a Dell Precision M70 and shares its motherboard with many other Dell laptops. I can reproduce the problem by running acpiconf -i loop or sysctl hw.acpi.battery.life. The problem did not exist with 6.0-release, so it has been caused by some code change between -release and Nov 10th sources. Disabling cmbat with debug.acpi.disabled avoids the laptop to hang. Does someone know what change to cmbat related stuff could be causing this problem? Thank you!

I ran into a similar problem when I upgraded an i386 machine to amd64. I thought I could just set CPUTYPE=athlon-64 and buildworld would do the right thing. Apparently not. Bootstrapping a single machine is supported: # make buildworld TARGET_ARCH=new-arch plus a few other steps. (See build(7)). There have been a couple of postings on the mailing lists on this topic in the recent past. I've taken a stab at describing how to cross-bootstrap too: http://edoofus.blogspot.com/2005/10/cross-building-freebsd.html The OP wanted to do a 'buildworld TARGET_ARCH=foo' on one machine and then an 'installworld' on a different set of machines. Yes, and he still wonders if this is supposed to be doable or not. I think the culprit is (partly) the fact that every architecture is built into its own subdirectory in /usr/obj, EXCEPT the architecture the build is running on. The same goes for the install part, and if the build and install architectures differ, it cannot ever work. Setting MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX on the target host makes the install start, but it fails after a couple of minutes with the dd: not found error. (I do notice that there is a /usr/obj/usr directory created also when cross-building; I'm assuming this contains the build bootstrap tools). Follow-up. If I enter src/sys and do a make install, the dd step works perfectly - however it stops later when trying to install cdboot. I am assuming this is due to missing options or wrong target for make, but - from all I can tell - shows a weakness in the build/ install system. Or maybe not... Anyone?? We don't support build host != install host, in a strict sense. But as Joseph pointed out, we do support NFS installs to different architectures. The build host != install host is supported only if a number of conditions are met, most noticeable are that they should be running the same OS version and the same (or compatible) CPU, and of course the same set of options (/etc/make.conf, etc.) Cheers, -- Ruslan Ermilov [EMAIL PROTECTED] FreeBSD committer pgp1ZvisVBXjL.pgp Description: PGP signature

[EMAIL PROTECTED] brian# ls /dev/da0* /dev/da0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] brian# camcontrol rescan all Re-scan of bus 0 was successful Re-scan of bus 1 was successful Re-scan of bus 2 was successful Re-scan of bus 3 was successful [EMAIL PROTECTED] brian# ls /dev/da0* /dev/da0 Another suggestion was: I think devfs is updated when a descriptor on the device which was opended for writing is closed. But you don't actually have to write anything. That means, the following command should do it: # dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/da0 count=0 Now, that does the job: [EMAIL PROTECTED] brian# dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/da0 count=0 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.28 secs (0 bytes/sec) [EMAIL PROTECTED] brian# ls -l /dev/da0* crw-r- 1 root operator0, 107 Nov 20 21:00 /dev/da0 crw-r- 1 root operator0, 115 Nov 20 21:00 /dev/da0s1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] brian# However, I'm not sure I actually *like* opening my CF card in such a way that I would be likely to overwrite the partition table if I hit a wrong key... Regards, Brian. I am not sure if this is any different but when placing or changing a card in my card reader I run cat /dev/null /dev/daX before mounting. I have cards of different sizes and it would fail to mount a different size card without doing the above first.

6.0 Release - Pentium install panic and some questions
Hi, we are having a number of issues with 6.0-Release. Our setup: We have ~40 machines in a development test environment, ranging from P5/150Mhz/32M ram/IDE, PII Celerons, P3, P4, single and dual processor setups. Issue 1: Can't install on a Pentium P5 class machine: The install panics when installing the base stuff. No useful messages are displayed accept the panic: page fault and rebooting in 15 seconds. The machines are 10 year old DEC Pentiums, 32 to 64M ram, IDE disks, etc. We have four of these in our test environment and appear to install and run FreeBSD-5.4 fine. Issue 2: phys_avail[] array too small in i386/machdep.c P5 boxes ?? We have something which we call a Remote Network Appliance (RNA), which is basically a boot floppy with lots of stuff squeezed on it. The RNA uses a cut down kernel config (ie. no kernel source modifications), various other inhouse programs (eg. init/inetd/telnetd replacements), built into a 1Mbyte MD root. We have no problems using everything up until a 5.4-stable kernel but have various problems with 6.0-release. When using 6.0, we get the following messages: Overlapping or non-montonic memory region, ignoring second region ... Too many holes in the physical address space, giving up ... Fatel trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode ... panic Did a bit of searching and found that in Dragonfly phys_avail[] in i386/machdep.c has been bumped up because it is too small. Looking at 6.0 machdep.c, looks like new dcons stuff has been added to it, and it blocks out some physical memory to use. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. From my understanding, phys_avail[10] gives you room for four physical available address ranges (ie. 4 * start/end pair entries and null terminated). I bumped the number up to 12 (ie. gives me five address ranges) and we are off and going. 6.0 now boots on all our Pentium machines, but... on 5.4-stable we got: physical memory: 67108864 avail memory:56156160 on 6.0 with phys_avail[12] we got: physical memory: 67108864 avail memory:63299584 more available memory for some reason ! Hmmm. On most of our machines, when booting in verbose mode, the 5.4 kernel reports three phys_avail segments, but the Pentium boxes report four. On the patched 6.0, the Pentiums report five segments. Unfortunately, the machine panics on Pentium machines when stress testing it (ie. by making it run out of memory). On 5.4-stable it would just kill user processes, under 6.0 it kills a few processes but quickly panics with a page not present error. At least 6.0 now boots and runs on a Pentium, whereas the standard install panics. I can't get a dump of the RNA floppy panic because it has no swap or disk to write to, and there isn't enough room on the floppy to build a kernel with debugging stuff. So, my question is... is it OK to bump phys_avail from 10 to 12 ?? or do we just ditch the Pentium as a supported platform ? Dragonfly have bumped it to 22, giving 10 segments. The only other change we do is compile the kernel and world with -Os and -funit-at-a-time to reduce the resulting binary sizes. fyi, A copy of the floppy image is at: http://www.statseeker.com/downloads/lanstat_fbsd60.bin It also contains our realtime Statistical LAN Analyser.

acpi_perf error
Hi all! I've seen this error some 300 times at the beginning of boot process. System goes up and works with no issue. It is nforce3 250 with amd64, 6.0 os. Using sysctl, I've found the line: dev.acpi_perf.0.%driver: acpi_perf In bios acpi apic is turned off, due to acpi errors from 5.4 era. Kernel includes cpufreq and powerd is in rc.conf. Is there any known command for sysctl to change driver? Or should I put apic back? Would be nice to have temperature reading on this mobo to compare cpufreq effect.
