This solved the problem for me, plus its quicker than having to re-populate the whole of /usr/ports! Andrew.

It looks like this is exactly what was happening. Everytime I tried to install, the DNS lookup on ftp.uk.freebsd.org would timeout the first time round (a seperate problem), and I needed to restart the installation each time. After going through the whole process several times, the DNS lookup worked first time round and the installation went without issue. It looks like sysinstall does get confused when asked to restart an installation. Many thanks to all who helped out. Andrew.

Thanks also to David Wolfskill for pointing this out. When installing via sysinstall users don't get shown the message explaining that they need xwrapper if the want to use startx. Does anyone else think that they should either be told or we just add xwrapper as a depandancy of the XFree86 package? Andrew.

X not suid root in 4.6.1-RC2?
Hi! Apologies if this has been discussed before and I missed it or this is due to some stupidity on my part but I just did a fresh install of 4.6.1-RC2 and told it to install X for the first time. Having installed X and configured it, when I tried to run X as a normal user it died telling me that : -- start paste -- (WW) checkDevMem: failed to open /dev/mem (Permission denied) linear framebuffer access unavailable Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root -- end paste -- Was this a mistake made when installing X?

Panic on 'kldunload snd'
Hi Folks! I just started playing with all those modules that are compiled during buildkernel, and was very pleased to see my SoundBlaster AWE64 correctly probed and configured when I did a 'kldload snd'. However, I was (slightly) less pleased to discover that a consequent 'kldunload snd' paniced the kernel. This is on a (cvsuped last night) -STABLE box. I did a bit of a dig around in the PR database and also in the mailing list archives and I _think_ this type of thing is a known problem with the modules system. If this is the case, apologies for the waste of bandwith, but I thought I had better mention it. If anyone is interested however, I do have dump from the panic. Which is good actually because I had enabled crash dumps, but -stable has been so bloody stable I'd never had a dump to play with in kgdb before :-) Thanks Andrew.

I think this is the problem I encountered when upgrading an older system to 4.3-STABLE. Try emptying your /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNELNAME directory and then do a make buildkernel again. -- Andrew Boothman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sour.cream.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
