Are you using the default usbd.conf? 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).

IPNAT & IPv6
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? -- freewizard (at) gmail.com http://blog.tsing.org/freewizard/ ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA, but CD on slave controller recognized?
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)? ar: FreeBSD check1 failed ata1-slave: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin ata1-master: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x44 cable=40pin ata1-master: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ata1-master: setting UDMA33 on VIA 82C596 chip ata1-slave: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ad2: ATA-4 disk at ata1-master ad2: 19569MB (40079088 sectors), 39761 C, 16 H, 63 S, 512 B ad2: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA33 GEOM: new disk ad0 GEOM: new disk ad1 GEOM: new disk ad2 [0] f:80 typ:165 s(CHS):0/1/1 e(CHS):1023/254/63 s:63 l:33350877 [1] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 [2] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 [3] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 GEOM: Configure ad0s1, start 32256 length 17075649024 end 17075681279 [0] f:80 typ:165 s(CHS):0/1/1 e(CHS):1023/254/63 s:63 l:16498692 [1] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 [2] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 [3] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 GEOM: Configure ad1s1, start 32256 length 8447330304 end 8447362559 ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=40079025 ata1: reiniting channel .. ata1: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat0=58 ostat1=50 ad2: stat=0x80 err=0x80 lsb=0x80 msb=0x80 ad2: stat=0x50 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00 ata1-slave: stat=0x10 err=0x01 lsb=0x14 msb=0xeb ata1: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=10 devices=0x9 ata1: resetting done .. ata1-slave: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin ad2: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x44 cable=40pin ad2: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ad2: setting UDMA33 on VIA 82C596 chip ata1-slave: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ata1: device config done .. ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out ar: FreeBSD read conf failed ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=0 ata1: reiniting channel .. ata1: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat0=58 ostat1=50 ad2: stat=0x80 err=0x80 lsb=0x80 msb=0x80 ad2: stat=0x50 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00 acd0: stat=0x10 err=0x01 lsb=0x14 msb=0xeb ata1: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=10 devices=0x9 ata1: resetting done .. acd0: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin ad2: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x44 cable=40pin ad2: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ad2: setting UDMA33 on VIA 82C596 chip acd0: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ata1: device config done .. ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=0 ata1: reiniting channel .. ata1: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat0=58 ostat1=50 ad2: stat=0x80 err=0x80 lsb=0x80 msb=0x80 ad2: stat=0x50 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00 acd0: stat=0x10 err=0x01 lsb=0x14 msb=0xeb ata1: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=10 devices=0x9 ata1: resetting done .. acd0: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin ad2: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x44 cable=40pin ad2: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ad2: setting UDMA33 on VIA 82C596 chip acd0: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ata1: device config done .. ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=1 ata1: reiniting channel .. ata1: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat0=58 ostat1=50 ad2: stat=0x80 err=0x80 lsb=0x80 msb=0x80 ad2: stat=0x50 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00 acd0: stat=0x10 err=0x01 lsb=0x14 msb=0xeb ata1: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=10 devices=0x9 ata1: resetting done .. acd0: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin ad2: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x44 cable=40pin ad2: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ad2: setting UDMA33 on VIA 82C596 chip acd0: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ata1: device config done .. ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=0 ata1: reiniting channel .. ata1: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat0=58 ostat1=50 ad2: stat=0x80 err=0x80 lsb=0x80 msb=0x80 ad2: stat=0x50 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00 acd0: stat=0x10 err=0x01 lsb=0x14 msb=0xeb ata1: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=10 devices=0x9 ata1: resetting done .. acd0: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin ad2: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x44 cable=40pin ad2: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ad2: setting UDMA33 on VIA 82C596 chip acd0: setting PIO4 on VIA 82C596 chip ata1: device config done .. ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA timed out GEOM: Configure ad0s1a, start 0 length 314572800 end 314572799 GEOM: Confi
ACPI + SMBus disables ISA bus
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: ...

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.

It provides a link to a > supposed package, which does not exist. 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. > 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?) 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.
