How to upgrade kernel with gmirror boot?
I've got a couple FreeBSD 7.0 systems which I am trying to upgrade. I had used ZFS for everything except the boot where I had used a gmirror. I didn't really understand it all then, but it's been working fine. The problem is that now with I "make buildworld" and "make installkernel" I get the old original kernel, not the new one. I suspect it's because I'm not installing the kernel in the boot partition that's actually being used, but am out of my depth here and need some advice. Here's how I created the gmirror and installed onto it back then, per my notes. I had 2x 1TB drives and wanted to use a gmirror for the boot and ZFS for the rest: Did a minimal install onto a 1GB ad4s1a. fdisk -BI ad6 bslabel ad4s1 > /tmp/label bsdlabel -RB ad6s1 /tmp/label gmirror label boot ad6s1a newfs /dev/mirror/boot mount /dev/mirror/boot /mnt find -x / | cpio -pmd /mnt rm -rf /mnt/var/* /mnt/usr/* /mnt/tmp/* reboot gmirror insert boot ad4s1a Rebooting I believe is now booting from the gmirror comprised of ad4s1a and ad6s1a: $ df -h / /boot Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/mirror/boot 989M634M276M70%/ /dev/mirror/boot 989M634M276M70%/ After "make installkernel" my /boot/GENERIC is still from 2008, when I did the original installation. My /boot/kernel is new, from the installkernel. What am I missing? It seems I am not "installkernel"-ing to the right place where the boot loader is looking. Thanks.

PATCH: FreeBSD-7-BETA4 'bge' ether for Dell T105 server
Thanks to Max Laier's help, the ether device is now working with the 'bge'
driver. Here is a patch that makes it work. I just recompiled the
kernel afterwards and it comes up.
PS: the T105 is now $399 but includes 1GB RAM and 2x160GB disk,
in addition to the dual-core 1.8GHz Opteron and DVD reader.
(Is there a better way to do this? sorry for the CC's, wasn't sure which
was appropriate for getting this into the tree.)

FreeBSD on Dell T105? ($350 dual-core Opteron)
Dell's got a decent deal on their PowerEdge T105 box with an 1.8GHz AMD dual-core Opteron, 512MB RAM, 80GB disk, and Gigabit ether: $350. I'd love to pick one of these up if FreeBSD was known to work on it, especially FreeBSD-7. Any reports of success or failure?

Check the past month's discussion on freebsd-x11. Some of us have been having the same problem with 6.9. Don't have a resolution yet :-( I see it first in Mozilla but some other X apps too like Emacs I believe.

I encountered this as well. Fired up xterm from a command line (within Emacs, which did work still) and it couldn't load some library, possibly libXft.so.1 ? IIRC libXft.so.2 did exist but that's not what xterm was looking for. I also had "rxvt" installed (from ports) and that worked fine so I used that to su and rebuild X11, first the server, then the clients, from ports.

In my setup, this occurs only when I am > using RSA or DSA authentication (instead of clear-text password). Dang. I *just* posted a query to -questions on exactly this, with 4.3-STABLE built from cvsup a few minutes ago, pam.conf updated via mergemaster. I removed my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server and was able to login instead of getting the PAM setcred problem on the server. At least I'm running again. But would be nice to have the RSA auth working so I don't have to ship passwords around. Thanks for the tip. I'll follow changes to pam more closely.

Works well and allows scaling. Other mailbox formats, including olde style UNIX /var/mail/username or ~username/Mail are not NFS-safe so this could be your problem.
