Could you guys please make 'bmake help' actually print out something useful? Like a summary of commonly used commands? What it does now is really not very useful at all unless you are already a pkgsrc expert. (fetch-list, update, replace, pkg_rolling-replace, license stuff, package option commands, etc). It just drives me nuts, particularly when I'm trying to load up a new box and don't have a browser online, or when an update blows up my browser :-) Yeah, a good point, and one I agree with completely - it's hardly help if you need extensive background information to know what to type. I'll include [EMAIL PROTECTED] on this reply - the guys who did the bmake help all read that list. tech-pkg people - what do you think? Thanks, Alistair

Is anyone else seeing this weird problem? Does the number include modules which are loaded but not probed? I think it's independent of whether the corresponding hardware is there or not. I'm not sure if it's the same problem as yours, but on one of the mainboard misses ata device(thus won't find the root filesystem) if the kernel config contains `options natapicam' line without a SCSI controller and a SCSI device (e.g. aha0 and asr). If I remove natapicam line, or include SCSI controllers and devices, it boot fine with 10 modules loaded via /boot/loader.conf. If it fails, my root disk is detected, but it is detected as ad1 instead of ad0. Johannes

Which modules were you trying to load? Ok, here is some more information... usb_load=YES ehci_load=YES ugen_load=YES ucom_load=YES uvscom_load=YES umass_load=YES and if_iwi_load=YES if_ed_load=YES if_et_load=YES if_ep_load=YES wlan_tkip_load=YES wlan_ccmp_load=YES wlan_wep_load=YES est_load=YES do not work. In both cases I can remove some lines and it works. If it fails my root disk is detected as ad1 instead of ad0 when it works. Booting with acpi disabled works even with lots of modules loaded from /boot/loader.conf. As acpi.ko seems to be loaded after the modules from /boot/loader.conf I suspect that the memory location of where acpi.ko gets loaded makes some difference.

Re: weird loader problem
Now I tried to load all available modules: ls /modules | grep -v acpi | sed -e 's/.ko/_load=YES/g' /boot/loader.conf In this case it crashes immediately when acpi.ko gets loaded. Without acpi it works fine. Perhaps it's related to a buggy bios on my laptop (Thinkpad T42)? Johannes
DFBSD2 and virtualbox no compatible?
Hello, I was trying to install a DFBSD2 in virtualbox (sun's virtual machine) and it doesnt boot, acpi or not acpi the same. I was hitting some config params, but nothing changes. Did someone tried it before? I used to install some VMwarez with DFBSD1.x with not problems, but company is migrating the virtualization software to sun's virtualbox for some licences issue. Any idea what can be wrong? Thanks for any info. Damian

They have a bug in their PIT implementation, and they don't seem to care to fix it. A bug report has already been opened, and comments in the code indicate that they know about the problem. cheers simon
