Different versions of ports...
Hi folks, I've recently started playing around with X and various desktop managers. There is one point that seems a little troublesome however... after recently browsing about the installed ports/packages on my system, it appears that different programs require different versions of one particular package. Here is one such instance: glib-1.2.10_10 = up-to-date with port glib-2.2.3 = up-to-date with port Is this going to cause any trouble at some later point? If so, what would be the best way to remove the earlier version and be sure that only the newest version remains?

USB CD-ROM installations.
Hello folks. I am currently looking into purchasing an external USB CD/DVD+/-RW unit for my machine here at home. However, before doing so, I do have a few questions before plunking down the cash for this thing. For starters, I don't know if this is an issue now, or ever really was an issue to begin with, but I vaguely recall hearing about problems during the installation of FreeBSD from a USB CD-ROM; something akin to the install halting at some point and thus a faulure to install at all. Unfortunately, after google'ing about, I am unable to find anything in regard to this. If anyone could confirm successful USB CD-ROM installs, it would be most appreciated. Yes, my machines does support booting from USB devices. Since the -STABLE EHCI, or USB2.0, support is not fully implemented yet, as I understand it and in so far as supporting full speed operation, will this pose any problems burning DVD +R or -R media? I've never had a DVD burner before, so I am somewhat new to this hardware. Any suggestions or comments would be most appreciated.

4.10 / USB 1.1 / New Machine.
Hello all. I am currently running an older P3/500 with 4.9 and am looking into purchasing an external USB CD-R/RW unit to add to this machine. Unfortunately, the mainboard only supports USB 1.1. I understand that this would not be the most ideal for an external CD-R/RW and that I'd most likely have to drop the write speeds down until I can afford a new machine with USB 2.0. My first question is this: could anyone recommend a decent external USB CD-R/RW that is known working with USB 1.1 and FBSD 4.9 and is a good, quality unit? In a few months, I am also hoping to be able to afford a new machine. As of now, I'm looking into an Intel D865PERL mainboard. My understanding is that this board would allow booting off of USB devices, and my hopes are that I could use this same USB CD-R/RW with the new machine as my only CD drive. My second question is this: are there any known issues in regard to booting off of external USB CD devices and the subsequent installation of FreeBSD from an external USB unit?

Samba and XP?
Good Day, I am currently seeking advice in regard to allowing an XP Home Edition machine to have access to a FreeBSD mount. I've looked over Samba, and not only have I seen references to XP's inability to join a 'domain based-network', but also don't really like the idea of installing Samba as it's a rather large package (relatively speaking) for what it simply does. My only other alternative, if I am correct, is trying to obtain an NFS client for the XP machine and simply serve NFS mounts on the FBSD host. The downside to this is the cost of the NFS clients for the XP machine. :) Are there any other alternatives available here? If not, which of the above two 'solutions' would be best? I only have one BSD machine and one XP machine, and I'd like to allow read/write access to a FBSD mount from the XP machine. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. - John To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
5.0 hang - NMI ISA 30, EISA ff
Good day, First off, I apologize for not using my @charter.net address to write the list; my mail bounces due to the mail list host not being able to resolve my ISP's host, thus preventing the list from accepting my mail. Naturally, my ISP denies any problems on their part, buy anyway... I recently attempted to install 5.0-RELEASE on a Dell Poweredge 600SC, and have had problems. When the kernel probes the hardware, I get a line stating "NMI ISA 30, EISA ff" and a hard hang. The only way to recover is to reset the machine. I am unable to provide any further diagnostic information as I cannot even get past the initial install. The machine is configured as follows: Dell 600SC BIOS revision A04 512mb RAM LSI Megaraid PERC3/SC SCSI host adapter Fujitsu 36gb SCSI disc PlexWriter 40x IDE CD-RW (Master on secondary IDE) Lite-On DVD-ROM (Slave on secondary IDE) ATI All In Wonder VE PCI video adapter Sound Blaster Audigy 2 PCI sound card Within the BIOS, the COM port, LPT port, primary and tertiary IDE ports have been disabled as they are not used. This configuration had performed perfectly while running 4.7-RELEASE and up to the most recent -STABLE. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you, John Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

Unfortunately, removing the EISA device did nothing to relieve the problem with the NMI. The only thing that cleared it up was adding 'hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0' in /boot/device.hints.

I pulled these two drives from a WinXP machine, and based on the transfer method reported in XP, it was using DMA. No stability issues were noted, at least in regard to XP. I've been running them under 5.0 now for a few days, burned a few CD's and played a few DVD's without stability issues either -- thankfully.

A few 5.0-Release questions...
Good day, After spending quite some time trying to get 5.0-RELEASE installed on a Dell PowerEdge machine, it seems that all is now working quite well. Being that these machines are somewhat common, I'll share what was halting my installation. These machines come with integrated video, an ATI RageXL, which is rather useless for anything other than console mode. I installed an ATI All- In-Wonder VE so that I could get somewhat decent performance out of X. The problem manifested when the kernel probed the machines hardware, causing an "NMI ISA 30, EISA ff", and locking up the machine solid. After I began pulling memory and expansion cards from the system, the error went away when I removed the ATI AIW card. I reinstalled the card and attempted to find how to correct this. My only solution to this issue was to interrupt the boot process and use the following command: set hw.pci.enable_io_modes = 0 This prevented any further halts. My first question is as follows: is /boot/device.hints the most proper place to stick this? Also, are there any other possible solutions to this issue? My main drives are SCSI, and I have one CD-RW and one DVD-R on the secondary IDE controller. The kernel detects the drives just fine, but defaults them both down to PIO4. The drives are fully UDMA2 capable. I am able to set the drives to use UDMA2 via atacontrol without issue. However, how would one make this more permanent, such that I wouldn't have to use atacontrol everytime I boot the machine? Back to the topic of video; is there _any_ way to permanently disable, or at least prevent FreeBSD from detecting the integrated video on the motherboard? There is nothing in the machines BIOS that would allow this. This would just be "nice" to do, as X works just fine, but it still sticks an entry into the XFree86Config file for the integrated chip. And finally... Where can one obtain a complete list of allowed hints for use in /boot/device.hints? I tried searching around the FBSD site as well as the handbook and found no listing, other than a line here and a line there. Thank you all very much for your help, and have a wonderful day. - John Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The only trouble that I've experienced was with adding a new video card, an ATI All-In-Wonder VE (Radeon 7500, PCI version). When the card is not installed, and I'm using the integrated RageXL video, all works just great. However, once a new PCI video card is installed, I get NMI errors on boot, with a system hang. I've tried a few different things to try and resolve the issue; removing 'options EISA' from the kernel, and removing 'device agp' from the kernel. I've checked the mainboard for jumpers to fully disable the integrated video; there are none. Thus far, the only way I can get FreeBSD-5.0 to boot without incident was to add, 'hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0' to /boot/device.hints. Once I do that, no more NMI errors. I just hope and pray this option remains with FreeBSD for a long time to come so I can continue to use this ATI AIW card.

In regard to SATA controllers.
Hello, folks. I am currently running 6.2-stable on an Intel D965OT mainboard. I've 4 320gb drives, the first being the boot and system drive, the other 3 are running in a raid 3 setup via geom_raid3. All is running well enough. However, I would like to expand my capacity, but this will then saturate the available SATA ports on the mainboard, which means I now have to look for a new controller. On the "high end" of things (at least for me and my intended application), I've been looking at the HighPoint 2320 PCI Express card. True hardware RAID and native support via. the rr232x driver seems like a nice match. However, in the event of a controller failure, I'm pretty much screwed unless I have a spare controller on hand. Not to mention that if this controller is not made any longer at the time of failure, well, I don't really know what my options would be at that point. Perhaps this is the bane of RAID controllers in general. Then again, my experience level in this sort of application is about nil. On the flip side, since I've had good luck using the geom architecture for RAID 3, my other option would be a regular controller and keeping with the software RAID setup. At least in this instance, if the controller goes south, I can just swap it out with another, and continue on without much hassle. However, in this instance, I would need a few suggestions as to which controller would be best. I've been looking at a few of the lower end HighPoint "software" RAID controllers as well, such as the HighPoint 2310. I'm uncertain if there is native support for this controller. I do understand that HighPoint does indeed have drivers available for FreeBSD, but if they are binary modules, I'd almost want to stay away from it. I'd much prefer either native drivers or manufacturer drivers in source form. However, failing the above cases, would it be possible to just run this card as a simple SATA controller and continue using geom_raid3? This particular card uses a Marvell controller, so I would guess that it would be detected by FreeBSD without issue. If someone could confirm this, it would be much appreciated. The function of the machine is simple. It's a home NAS for 3 other machines, but also does other light duties as well, so ultimate performance isn't really that much of an issue. As things are now, utilizing geom_raid3, the performance is rather good.

Backport of ServerWorks ATA to 4-Stable?
Hello all. I was wondering if there would be a backport of the ServerWorks GC chipset (CSB6 South bridge) to 4-Stable. I am only able to obtain "BIOSDMA" support on my HD's and basic "PIO" support of my CD-RW. I played around with 5.0-Current on this machine and by utilizing 'atacontrol', I was able to get DMA mode transfers on all of the installed media. There were also no stability issues running in this mode either under 5-Current. Failing any plans by the developers to include this support into the upcoming 4.8-Release or later -Stable code, would it be possible to try and hack the -Current code into -Stable myself?

Re: Backport of ServerWorks ATA to 4-Stable?
Hi, Kevin. I, too, have the Dell PowerEdge 600SC. Here is my IDE configuration: - 120GB Western Digital on primary master. - Plextor CD-RW on secondary master. - Lite-On DVD-Rom on secondary slave. I've been running the 4-Stable series of FBSD for quite some time now and just relegated the lack of support of the ServerWorks Southbridge to "should be here soon." Just for grins, I installed 5.0 and cvsup'd -Current. While running 5.0, I was able to throw the primary HD into UDMA100 and noticed a fair amount of increased "visual" performance. The same went for the CD-RW and DVD-Rom, under UDMA33. I burned a number of full CD's and made a number of full dumps of various DVD's to the HD without issue. Also, with the CD-RW and DVD-Rom, while running under 4.x, there is quite a hit on the interrupt activity as reported by `top` while copying large amounts of data. On 5.0-Current, there was virtually none. This is about as scientific I've gotten with this thus far. :p In regard to your machine not being able to recognize slave devices, I don't really know. I've both the CD-RW and DVD-Rom on the secondary controller without a hitch, and one HD on the primary master. > What were your atacontrol settings, and how did you > differentiate the > results (dmesg, sysctl)? If I remember correctly, I used the following under 5.0: atacontrol mode 0 UDMA100 UDMA100 atacontrol mode 1 UDMA33 UDMA33 Attempting to place the secondary controller into DMA mode under 4.x, the machine would lock up shortly after. One other thing, the dmesg for 4.x states the following: pcib0: on motherboard Where as under 5.0, the dmesg correctly picked up and displayed actual support for the CSB6 Southbridge.

7.0-stable snapshot
Good day. I recently attempted to install the most recent AMD64 7.0-snapshot onto another system. I chose a minimal install with all of the source distributions as well as ports. Unfortunately, the install fails when attempting to install the scompat tarball. Upon looking at the install CD, it appears that the scompat tarball is not listed in the src directory. src/scompat does seem to appear on a 7.0-release CD. I've attempted to reburn the snapshot with the same results. Naturally, if I omit scompat from the src install options, the install proceeds normally and without error. I'm just curious as to where the problem actually resides. Are the 7.0-snapshots leaving out scompat for some reason? Since I've attempted to download and burn multiple snaps with the same issue, I can't see that I've a corrupt ISO. Thank you for your time. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
