In reply to both Marc and Roland, I confirm and say:

1. usbd is really running all the time (usbd_enable="YES" being in rc.conf)
2. using the default usbd.conf, which I studied only recently to find out what 
could be missing.
3. added the following lines to it for testing:
device "Perfection 1650 scanner"
devname "uscanner[0-9]+"
attach "sane-find-scanner -q"
detach "sane-find-scanner -q"

I still haven't got a clue of what other command could be useful here. I think 
Ialso understood that the proper attachment/detachment function of usbd has 
nothing to do with those commands. Right or wrong?
4. Killing usbd and running ``usbd -dvv'' confirms that usbd does not detect 
any event when I connect or disconnect the signal cable of the scanner 
(needless to say that the scanner is connected to power). No error message in 
the debugging output, just this:

algol{me} ~ # usbd -dvv
usbd: opened /dev/usb0
usbd: reading configuration file /etc/usbd.conf
usbd: action 1: ActiveWire board, firmware download
.
.
.
usbd: action 6: Perfection 1650 scanner
  devname: uscanner[0-9]+
  attach='sane-find-scanner -q'
  detach='sane-find-scanner -q'
usbd: action 7: USB device
usbd: 7 actions
usbd: opened /dev/usb
usbd: doing timeout discovery on /dev/usb0
usbd: processing event queue due to timeout on /dev/usb
etc, etc ad infinitum

No event, no action. Normal.

I know that.  I meant that snapshots are not included in the dump.

Do not add anything in /etc/usbd.conf, use the file you can find in
/usr/share/examples/etc/usbd.conf

Then follow
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/scanners.html
that section was written with many scanners for testing purposes, and
one of them was a Perfection 1650...

IPNAT & IPv6

2004-12-31 Thread Song Du
my original ipnat rule is
rdr rl0 0.0.0.0/0 port 80 -> 127.0.0.1 port 8000 tcp
which redirect a priv port to a non-priv port

but when i setup dual stack, i find it's unable to handle ipv6 connections.
when i change 0.0.0.0 to ::0, ipnat complains it can't resolve it.
even when i use domains instead of numeric format, still no help.

so it seems that ipnat doesn't work with ipv6? any solution?

ports directories are broken again?

2004-12-31 Thread Joe Rhett
About a month ago I saw a problem where many of the packaged ports 
disappeared from the main and mirror ftp sites.  I didn't have time to drop
a message then, and just compiled them myself.  However I'm seeing this

frontpage has not been packaged for years because a dependency
(compat3x) is forbidden for security reasons.  It looks like your

ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA, but CD on slave controller recognized?

2004-12-31 Thread C. Fischer
this has started bugging me ever since moving from 4-stable to 5-stable.
"ad2", which had been recognized no problem on the former, fails on the
latter.  since i have a multibooter, i can boot 4.10 residing on "ad2" without
trouble.  4.10 can access "ad0" and "ad1" fine (this is how i got the initial
install in place), but i used "ad2" for backups and this doesn't work anymore.

the system otherwise works and there are no DMA related hardware errors ever
reported except for "ad2" not beeing recognized.  this seems to indicate that
the problem lies in the initial disk checking phase.

my boot/device.hints was installed with hints from the "GENERIC" kernel.
everything else works fine.  i tried to check the PRs (timed out), but google
didn't return anything not related to failing hardware or misconfiguration, so
could someone please look through this (verbose) dmesg(8)?

ACPI + SMBus disables ISA bus

2004-12-31 Thread Peter Jeremy
I'm trying to upgrade a system from 4.10 to 5.3p2 and am running into
problems with the ISA bus disappearing (not probing or attaching) when
I have both ACPI and SMBus enabled.  This leads to a panic when
something tries to do a sysctl on the (non-existent) console.

The problem is masked if I use a serial console because the only ISA
device I need is the VGA adapter and the lack of vga0 and syscons
doesn't worry the serial console.

I've had a google around and it looks like this combination should work.
At least, I can't find anything forbidding it and can find some dmesgs
showing both ACPI and SMBus.

The relevant sections of a GENERIC "boot -v" shows:
...
AcpiOsDerivePciId: bus 0 dev 17 func 0
AcpiOsDerivePciId: bus 0 dev 17 func 0
...

powerspec 2  supports D0 D3  current D0

0xfc00-0xfc0f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 17.1 on pci0

If I add the following options to GENERIC:
 device smbus
 device viapm
 device smb
 device iicbb
 device iicbus
then the ISA bus vanishes and the above probe messages change to:
...
pci1:  at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
pci0:  at device 8.0 (no driver attached)
pci0:  at device 11.0 (no driver attached)
viapropm0: SMBus I/O base at 0x400

viapropm0: SMBus revision code 0x0
smbus0:  on viapropm0
smb0:  on smbus0
atapci0:  port 
0xfc00-0xfc0f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 17.1 on pci0

The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP with F12 BIOS (the latest AFAIK).
Switching between PIC and APIC modes in the BIOS has no effect.  There's
no explicit "PnP/nonPnP" option.

Should this work?  If so, where should I look for clues as to why it doesn't
for me?

I have no expecation other than that if the freebsd site indicates that a
package is available, that it should be there.  It provides a link to a
supposed package, which does not exist.

And your comment of "for years" makes no sense when applied to versions of
the OS which haven't existed for more than a few months.  (not that it
isn't true, but it certainly defies basic logic, no?)

I'm checking for a package for 5.3-release, which is only a few months old.
It indicates that a package exists, and provides a URL.  The URL fails
indicating the file isn't found.

... and "my expectations are broken" ?

Can you really think of nothing else wrong here?

What are you trying to accomplish here? sane-find-scanner just lists the
devices it finds.

On 5.3, I don't have to use usbd at all. The device node is created by
devfs (on 5.3). You might have to do it manually on 4.x?. I use
devfs.rules to make the scanner device available to a group usb, of
which I'm a member, and that's it. Sane can use the scanner.

For the record, my dll.conf looks like this:

--- dll.conf ---
# Load the epson backend.
epson
--- dll.conf ---

And epson.conf contains just:

-- epson.conf --
usb /dev/uscanner0
-- epson.conf --

I usually do it the other way around. I keep the USB cable plugged in,
and connect or disconnect the power to the transformer, because the 1650
doesn't have an on/off switch.

Do you see anything in dmesg output after you plug in the scanner?

It provides a link to where the package would be if it exists.  The
web frontend has no knowledge of which packages are available at any
given point in time because this set fluctuates on a daily basis, so
the frontend is always going to have windows where it's out of date
with respect to what's on the ftp site.

One could imagine changing this with some hard work, or at least
improving the documentation, but that's how things are today.  You're
welcome to submit a PR with your suggestion on how to change the
documentation to annotate this.

No, the ports tree is independent of the version of FreeBSD you're
running.  No version of FreeBSD has been able to produce a package of
frontpage for a long time, because the package is not buildable in the
underlying ports collection.

BTW, where are you seeing this link?

The port index under www.freebsd.org/ports *does* know that frontpage
will not appear in packages, and doesn't provide a link to it.

BTX halted

2004-12-31 Thread kalin mintchev
hi all...

i'm trying to install 5.3 on an amd machine...
i got the discs and they are ok but when i start the off the disk the boot
stops with BTX halted no matter which boot mode i chose.
i looked on google and i found a few posts about bios issues but non of
that helped - i couldn't find how to disable DMA. the only location i saw
the DMA mentioned was under PnP/PCI configurations => Resources Controlled
by in the bios but there the setting is Auto(ESCD). i tried al the options
there and it still stops at the same place...

anybody can help?!

thanks
