lock up in 6.2 (procs massively stuck in Giant)
Hi folks. Today I got a new locking issue. This is the first time I got it, and it's merely reproduced. The box has lost both remote connection and local access. No SIGINFO output on the local console even. Jumping in ddb shows the next: 1) first, this is a 8-way web server.

Re: 7.1/i386: restarts just after begin booting
On Mon, 2009-04-27 at 18:59 +0600, i...@dom.raid.ru wrote: Hello All, The 6.2 and 6.4 releases work well but I've got some problems when booting 7.1/i386 release on my server (Duron1200/ASUS A7N233-VM). When booting from installation CD the computer suddenly restarts after about 2sec so I even can't see any output (seems it's regs dump). MD5 hash of CD is OK, replacing CD-ROM drive didn't give any effect. However after a lot of experimentation I managed to install 7.1 via PXE. But on the first boot just installed 7.1 the same problem has appeared again. I think there is a bug in boot2 or in some code executes before the loader because it boots successfully via PXE (by pxeboot) and by loader at FreeBSD 6.4 installed on an other hard drive. P.S. BIOS was updated to latest stable version. Can you try booting 7.2-RC2 and see if you see the same issue? It's likely that this has been fixed already. Thanks, 7.2-RC2 was successfully booted and installed from CD instead of 7.1. Seems everything works. BTW, 7.0 doesn't have such problem, but won't boot due to READ_BIG error.

experiences with Supermicro Twin servers? (6016TT / 6026TT / 6015TW)
Hi all, are there somebody with some experiences (bad or good) with Supermicro Twin servers? Mainly with 2U model 6026TT-TF or 1U model 6016TT-TF build on top of Intel 5520 Tylersburg (or any other?) We would like to buy some Twin servers, but I do not have chance to test it before. Are there any know problems with Twin servers generally, or are there any issus with FreeBSD 7.x with used CPU / chipsets / NICs? Any advices will be welcomed.

7.2-RC2 Install Feedback
Folks, Just FYI-ish, yesterday I made a 7.2-RC2 bootonly CD and successfully installed it on an i386. There was one weirdness with the www packages menu where it wouldn't display the package name properly. It looked like some odd form of line wrapping that started at the right-most column and then was off-by a line such that it (maybe?) overwrote itself on the next line. It looked OK if you scrolled all the way to the bottom and then scrolled back up. Also, I banged my head against problems installing emacs (aborted with error -1), until I finally realized that xemacs-21.4 was already installed. I think there was some form of conflict (?) that prevented two versions from being installed. Seemed odd to me in any event, and not very evident why the (package) install was being rejected. Thanks! jdl ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If the KDE is not selected , those packages are not available in Gnome menus , and they should be inserted into Gnome menus one by one ( for me , this is a difficult task , because it requires to find proper executable to insert it into menu ) . IMHO, that would be a bug in those packages. Desktop files should be installed in /usr/local/share/applications (or similar) and contain a Categories field to determine where to place them in the menu. The OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn fields are available for desktop files specific to certain desktop environments. Many ports install desktop files to /usr/local/share/applnk (KDE) or /usr/local/share/gnome/apps (GNOME); if these files contain Categories it should be safe to move them to the new location. Many upstreams are already following this new standard, and some ports override the upstream build system's code to install to the new location with an installation to the old location. A user-level workaround is to make symlinks to the necessary desktop files in $HOME/.local/share/applications/; while it is annoying to have to do this, it is much easier than adding menu entries manually. XFCE also needs the desktop files in the new location. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ for more information. -- Jilles Tjoelker ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Where is the: create,install to RAID(0-5) option?
Greetings, FreeBSD appears to have issues installing to an ATA drive/device (UDMA) - see the: ATA DMA issues - are there problems lurking in 7.1? thread for more detail. I've been using FreeBSD for a few years on several Tyan Serverworks Thunder LE-T boards (S2518UGN) on the embeded SCSI (Adaptec) ports w/o any problem. But recently purchased a couple of UDMA166 drives to install FBSD to. This proved to be impossible. Installation proceeded w/o incident, but using it proved impossible due to timeout messages that ultimately resulted in failure. So, I now find myself in need of striping several SCSI drives to achieve the capacity required to achieve the desired install base. But as yet there is no option to create/install to (software) RAID in the FreeBSD install. I've done /much/ searching on the topic. All the reading I've done from the results found have left me with more questions, than answers. Has anyone created a (pre)install CD that facilitates this process? The closest I've discovered is: http://www.freenas.org/index.php?option=com_frontpageItemid=1 (FreeNAS). But the documentation for the SoftwareRAID is out of date, and I was unable to register on their Forum. Is there a good article/recipe that anyone knows of for creating/installing FreeBSD to RAID0? The closest articles I could find were: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/remote-install/installation.html and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-striping.html this one was good, but I wasn't sure how to do this from the install CD, and it appears to presume that a system is already installed. lastly, I found this one: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ I apologize in advance should this been better posted somewhere else, but I'm already subscribed to this list, and it involves problems installing 7 - or any other release on an ATA device. Thank you for all your time and consideration.

Change in ssh connection behavior with 7.2-PRERELEASE
I'm using an older Supermicro 1U box as my NAT box for my home network; I also read email on it by logging in remotely using Cygwin's ssh to run pine. I've noticed a change in behavior which ocurred when I upgraded from 7.1-STABLE compiled 2/8/2009 to 7.2-PRERELEASE compiled 4/24/2009. The change is that the system can't display full screens in the Cygwin window. The screen gets filled slowly, with long pauses between successive partial fills. This seems to only occur when I'm logged in from work using Cygwin SSH over the Internet to my home box; the final link is via Comcast, if that makes a difference. Connecting from witnin my local network, also using Cygwin SSH, no such problem. Rebooting the old kernel solves the problem. The work PC is running Cygwin OpenSSH 5.1p1/OpenSSL 0.9.8j (7 Jan 2009); the home PC is running Cygwin OpenSSH 5.1p1/OpenSSL 0.9.8i (9/15/2008).
