syslog-ng / acpi logging issue on laptop
Hello all, I am running FreeBSD on a Dell laptop (vostro 1000) and don't really have too many problems with it i have most things working now. I used linux for a while and so "Cut my teeth" on that but i have found freebsd to be much better suited to my needs. I have one small issue that is eating away at me that i hope someone might be able to help with, I am using syslog-ng and my battery doesn't appear to be supported by the ACPI in the bios so i get this a lot in the logfile : Dec 30 18:47:37 vostro ACPI-1304: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.BAT1._BST] (Node 0xc4bd27a0), AE_NOT_FOUND Is there any way to stop it logging every few seconds ? I have got "hald" working and can see the detail on the battery in the gnome applet but it still lists this in the log.

6.3-RC2 Available
Sorry for the delay with this phase of the 6.3 release. A few glitches were found during testing of the 6.3-RC2 ISOs that included pre-built packages. The 6.3-RC2 builds for amd64 and i386 should now be available on the majority of the FreeBSD mirror sites. I just finished loading the sparc64 build so that will take a little while to propagate to the mirrors. This is the last planned RC for 6.3. Unless a major show-stopper problem is found the release of 6.3 should happen in about two weeks. If updating an older system using cvs or c[v]sup based mechanisms the branch tag to use is RELENG_6_3. Or you can give FreeBSD Update a try, see the instructions here: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-10-freebsd-minor-version-upgrade.html If you would like to test doing a fresh install ISOs for each are available at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases//ISO-IMAGES/6.3/ (or any of the mirror sites).

Fatal trap 19 on Sony Vaio
I'm getting the following trap when i try to install from the i386 7.0RC1 disk1 and livefs install cds. I've also tried booting with acpi disabled. The error says it's a RAM issue but since i've been able to boot other operating systems on it without a problem. The laptop is a Sony VGN-FZ240E.

[PATCH] 7-STABLE Build broken in geom_io.c with KTR but no DDB
Hi, I've been trying to do some debugging with ktrace(9) for the first time, and ran in to a problem after trying to compile the kernel. I didn't have DDB defined, and as a result the build failed after adding "option KTR": geom_io.o(.text+0x5ee): In function `g_alloc_bio': ../../../geom/geom_io.c:140: undefined reference to `stack_save' geom_io.o(.text+0x61e):../../../geom/geom_io.c:141: undefined reference to `stack_ktr' geom_io.o(.text+0x6e1): In function `g_clone_bio': The use of CTRx in the geom code appears to be correctly wrapped with #ifdef KTR, but this is also all that protects the uses of CTRSTACK. CTRSTACK is also defined to use stack_ktr conditionally on #ifdef KTR in sys/stack.h, but the stack_ktr function is compiled in to the kernel only if DDB is enabled.

OK, the attached patch is necessary, but not quite sufficient to fix the problem. geom_io.c also calls stack_save() under #ifdef KTR, when it needs to be under an #ifdef DDB as well... P.S.
