i/o problems gone
Hi! Some time ago I reported I/O problems in FreeBSD when having time-consuming processes (like seti@home or rc5des) in the background. I had experienced these problems since I installed freebsd 9 months ago (I made world frequently in between). After making and installing a new world some days ago, these problems were gone! Now it doesn't matter whether there's anything running in the background or not. Good job! :-) What has been changed? :) Ciao, Thomas.

ata delay
Hi! I switched to the ata IDE driver some time ago. Since then, booting stops for about 30 seconds when the driver is installed. It didn't happen when using the old wd driver. I'm using controller ata0 device atadisk0# ATA disk drives in my kernel. >From dmesg: ... isab0: at device 4.0 on pci0 ata-pci0: at device 4.1 on pci0 ata-pci0: Busmastering DMA supported ata0 at 0x00x1f0 irq 14 on ata-pci0 Here booting stops for quite a while and then continues. chip1: irq 19 at device 4.2 on pci0 chip2: at device 4.3 on pci0 ahc0: irq 19 at device 6.0 on pci0 ahc0: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ...

IDE_DELAY
Hi!

Problems with Linux emulation
Hi!
I´ve updated to the latest 4.0-CURRENT on Monday and discovered
today, that my Linux emulation is broken. The emulation is loaded
as a kernel module alright, but when I start anything really using
the emulation (e.g. acroread4) my system hangs completely and requires
a reboot.
I deinstalled the linux_base port and tried to reinstall it, but while
installing, I get the following kernel panic:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
mp_lock = 0002; cpuid = 0; lapic.id = 0100
fault virtual address = 0x50
fault code: supervisor read, page not present
processor eflags: interrupt enabled, resume, iopl = 0
current process = 1105 (ldconfig)
interrupt mask = none <- SMP; XXX
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
This happens when the install script wants to call {PREFIX}/sbin/ldconfig
(the Linux-ldconfig).
I rebuilt and reinstalled the linux emulation module, but that didn´t help either.
Installing the above port will still cause a kernel panic.
I haven´t read this list for a while, so I might have missed something important.
Any hints or ideas what might be going wrong? What can I do to make it work again?

Thomas Schürger. http://www.menden.augustin.de

Socket problems
Hi! I´m running an FTP server on my FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT system using BeroFTPD. If I allow many users to connect simultaneously, after some hours I get error messages like "ping: socket buffer overflow" or "no sockets available". Anything requiring sockets cannot be used then. Netscape tells me there are not enough system resources. If I don´t allow many people to connect, this does not occur though. I experienced this for some time now. Is there anything I can do about that?

AWE64 problems
Hi! I am still having problems getting my AWE64 soundcard to work with the newpcm driver (the "old" pcm driver worked fine). I have updated the world last week and am using the kernel as of today. I'm using the "pcm0" and "sbc0" devices in my kernel options. My card is recognized correctly, but not attached to the pcm0 driver (it is listed as unknown0:), so all audio devices don't work. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Are there more people having problems with their AWE64? Any help is appreciated!

Mesa segfaults
Hi! I'm having problems with Mesa 3.2. Some OpenGL programs don't work at all (they quit with a segmentation fault on initialization), some other programs work a short time and then crash the same way.

gcc28
Hi! I was wondering why 4.0-Current still uses gcc 2.7.x instead of gcc 2.8.1, which is available in the ports. gcc 2.8.x supports 586/686 optimization and much more, whereas 2.7.x will compile for 486 processors. Are there any compatibility problems involved when replacing 2.7.x by 2.8.x? If not, why isn't 2.8.1 the standard compiler included in FreeBSD? Ciao, Thomas.

nfs problems
Hi! I'm experiencing serious NFS problems, when a remote NFS directory (also on FreeBSD) mounted on my machine goes down for whatever reason (e.g. normal shutdown). From then on, any processes accessing the mounted NFS directory (e.g. executing ls or even df) will die and stay non-removable (kill -9 shows no effect on them!) in the system. If the remote server goes up again, then sometimes these processes work again. I wonder if this is a general problem of NFS or just a problem with FreeBSD (haven't checked it with non-current machines). Any ideas/fixes? Ciao, Thomas.

FreeBSD won't boot
Hi! I have Win95 and FreeBSD 4.0-Current on my system. Today I had to reinstall Win95, which overwrites the master boot record. After that I used fdisk to switch to FreeBSD and used /stand/sysinstall to install the FreeBSD selector boot record (I set the FreeBSD and the Win95 partition to bootable first). Now the boot selector will be displayed, but I cannot run FreeBSD from it anymore. It will just show the boot prompt in the boot loader and won't accept to boot from my SCSI drive, where the FreeBSD and Win95 partition are located (using "0:da(0,a)kernel", which should work). The boot loader just says "Invalid format!". Then I used the Fixit-Floppy and tried to boot FreeBSD from my harddrive, again using "0:da(0,a)kernel", which works perfectly. Am I missing something? Why doesn't the harddrive-installed bootloader accept my kernel, whereas the floppy bootloader does? Thanks for your help! Ciao, Thomas.

Updating it does > not need anything but the CPU, does it (on the local display)? cvsup is mostly based on disk (and network) I/O, so there shouldn't be a problem with properly updating the GUI.
