I suspect plip has outlived its usefulness. PL-IP is still useful. Like ed, one wouldnt want to use it every day, but it's useful for fallback bootstrapping / rescue / 1st install, if ether fails etc. -- Julian Stacey. Consultant Unix Net Sys. Eng., Munich. http://berklix.com Mail in Ascii,

open (/dev/lpt0 ...) hangup solved

2006-07-22 Thread george+freebsd
As was suggested, the problem is that when the system automatically brings up the plip0 interface, it grabs the ppbus and doesn't let it go until someone takes the interface down. I now believe this problem was present even in 5.3, but I didn't see it because I routinely compiled custom 5.x

WINE vs. FreeBSD

2006-07-22 Thread Michael Nottebrock
Dear -hackers and -emulation readers, I would like to call your attention to a few long-standing problems that have so far prevented WINE from living up to its capabilities on FreeBSD. I am afraid that I still don't fully grasp the scope of the problem, nor do I have a clear idea of what the

Thanks. That is a useful data point but David Xu has done a lot of work on libthr that has probably not been MFC'd back to 5.x. When I get the chance I'll try building KDE on my desktop which runs a derivative of -CURRENT. It may well be a general kernel bug, as I recall seeing the same error

Building a sandboxed kernel

2006-07-22 Thread R. Tyler Ballance
I'm working on a project that relies on me building kernels outside of the standard /usr/src (typically ~/perforce/projects/ ) on my relatively standard 6.1-STABLE workstation. I'm wondering if I'd be best suited by setting up a jail for kernel builds, I'm following this doc:

Machine-dependent code extension?

2006-07-22 Thread R. Tyler Ballance
I'm just wondering, the machine-dependent assembly tied into the i386 kernel, that's all named ${FILENAME}., while in the arm/ kernel machine-dependent code is named ${FILENAME}.S, what's the difference? Or is there none, just a change in convention? Cheers, -R. Tyler Ballance
