Strange: syscons SC_PIXEL_MODE and userconfig interactions

2002-10-12 Thread Stephen Roome
So far I think that this is the weirdest problem I've had with any FreeBSD box. I've just recompiled a kernel for this laptop (old Compaq Armada 1550) which is a P133 with 16Mb of RAM. (Stop laughing you at the back!) This is running 4.7-RELEASE. Anyway, it's a reasonably cut down kernel which w

Scott, Although I can't try it right now, I was going to give this a spin in about a week or so on buildworlds. I have a few servers that are 733MHz PIIIs running on mirrored RAID 7200RPM drives (3ware as well) and would love to speed up the buildworld time from 58 minutes. A friend will also ha

DistCC

2002-10-12 Thread Scott Ullrich
Greetings, Hackers-- Have any of you played around with DistCC (DistCC is a program to distribute compilation of C or C++ code across several machines on a network). I am hoping to improve my buildworld farm at home. With a dual AMD MP 1800, I can build world in 26 minutes but I am hoping to a

Help saving 4.7 kernel dump to disk

Hi, I tied to save the kernel core dump following Michael Lucas instructions, but it only works when the kernel is already loaded. I am experiencing kernel trap during kernel boot, and the show disk/device and ddb> call setdumpdev (0xf000b444) does not work for me. What else can I try to save
