It should be culled from the crunches and from the kernels. I managed to cull it from the kernels by simply adding KERNEL_FLAGS+= -D_NO_CPU_CFLAGS -DNO_CPU_COPTFLAGS into /usr/src/release/Makefile. I also managed to cull it from the crunches by adding the above defines into boot_crunch.conf and fixit_crunch.conf. The savings still aren't enough though :-( -Os may help here, but I'm having dificulty trying to find where this should go.

CURRENT & notebook & suspend
I like to use 'suspend mode' with my notebook sony vaio z505hs.
I don't like to shutdown FreeBSD every time I want to switch the notebook off.
I have had a problem with suspend for a long long time.
But before deep investigation I'd like to know if someone has the same problem.
People, how don't use suspend with yours notebook, may be you try to repeat it?
The problem is:
Notebook works good untill 'suspend'.('zzz' or 'acpiconf -s3').
After resume it works fine a random period of time(1 minute or 3 days and
several suspends) and then kernel has a panic with message "getnewvnode: free
vnode isn't". It works with and without acpi.
I see, that the panic usually appears during strong hard disk io operations
(like when cvsup is working or programms is been compiling).
I think, that in some conditions, linked with 'suspend mode', vnode with non
zero v_usecount flag is placed in freevnode spool.
First look at /sys/kern/vfs_subr.c told me that it is imposible, but...

It seems that this problem happens after sys/i386/i386/pmap.c rev
1.352 changes. Could you replace pmap.c with 1.351 ?
How would I pull a specific version from cvs?
Peter, do you have any ideas with this ?
> Same thing happens if I do an unset acpi_load or if I try boot -s, or both.
I think your kernel config file includes 'device acpica'.
Nope. It's auto-loading as a module, as per NOTES.
Thanks,

That FreeBSD is very good as a server OS does not mean that it should not support my graphics hardware. 3D/2D graphics is not only about playing games. But the problem here is with NVidia. Because they have to provide the drivers. Selling a video card without specifying how to access the video card is like selling a microwave oven without labeled buttons. Anyway some part of my original question isn't listed under freebsd current mailing list archives. I don't know what the problem was, but here's the more relevant part with the current... -- By the time 5.0 is released do you aim to complete all the planned features at www.freebsd.org/smp? (like full kernel preemption) I know it's a tentative list but still if there's a consensus about that let me know. Will 5.0 stable be created after KSE milestone 4 commit? I just wanted to know more about the release policy. After 5.0 stable is released, is the development in the current branch completely be named 6.0? (and any possibly new features (like finer grained locking) will be available in 6.0 stable) Or is the development in current tree will continue to be merged with 5.x for some time?

current panic on apache2 after sys/kern/subr_mbuf.c commit
Dear all, I have been experiencing panic with Apache2 since Jul 31. The system boot, but panic when someone access the apache2 service. After trace back, the subr_mbuf.c commit at around Jul 30 21:30 GMT is the candidate for this panic. Does anyone see the same problem as me?

The aim is to complete as many feature as possiblei without shipping a broken 5.0. There is, however, a limited number of hands doing to dirty work. > Will 5.0 stable be created after KSE milestone 4 commit? No. 5.0-STABLE will be created after 5.0-RELEASE. However, Julian will probably have (a portion of) KSE milestone 4 committed before 5.0-RELEASE is released. > I just wanted to know more about the release policy. http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html > After 5.0 stable is released, is the development in the current > branch completely be named 6.0? Yes. > Or is the development in current tree will continue to be merged > with 5.x for some time? Features in the FreeBSD-current tree are often merged back to FreeBSD-stable. This include features in 5.x that get merged back to FreeBSD 4.x. There is no reason why features added to 6.x can't be merged back to 5.x (other than man power). -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

If backing out rev 1.352 solves the problem, feel free to go ahead and either back it out or add #if 0 around the changes. But I think the fix is to change this: /* We have a 1MB direct mapped region at KERNBASE */ if (pa < 0x0010 && pa + size <= 0x0010) - return (void *)(pa + KERNBASE); + return (void *)(pa + offset + KERNBASE); I've committed this as 1.356. If it doesn't solve it, then go ahead and back out both 1.352 and 1.356.
