G'day Ben,

It does work - I've done it a number of times. I presume that you've
seen my guide at
 
http://menhennitt.com.au/wordpress/2009/07/05/installing-freebsd-on-a-soekris-net5501-using-pxe-and-dnsmasq#more-14
and Jeremy's at
  http://jdc.parodius.com/freebsd/pxeboot_serial_install_8.html

Also, there's a Soekris mailing list that often has stuff that's more
Soekris specific - http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

I seem to remember having the same problem that you're having at one
stage, but unfortunately, I can't remember the solution.

Hope this helps,
  Graham

ipfw oddity/bug? ipv6 != protocol 41

[Graham Menhennitt]

Hi all,

I've found something that I think is a bug in ipfw. At the very least,
it contradicts the man page and a number of web sites. It's also
different behaviour from a few months ago.

I have a IPV6 tunnel connection to Hurricane Electric that I use every
now and then. When I want to use it, I manually enable it in ipfw and
then disable it again afterwards. After a recent csup and new world and
kernel, it stopped working. The script output below shows the problem.

I start with IPv6 disallowed by ipfw as can be seen in the first failed
ping6. Normally, I then allow ipv6 and the ping6 should work. But it
seems that ipv6 isn't what it used to be. I need to explicitly use the
protocol number (41) to get it to work. According to the ipfw man page,
ip6 and ipv6 are the same thing, and it implies that they should both be
the same as "41". Obviously they're not.

So, when you add a rule with "ipv6" or "ip6" in it, "ipfw list" displays
it as "ip6". When you enter a rule with "41" in it, it displays as
"ipv6". Very confusing!

I can't see any option to get "ipfw list" to output numeric values
rather than protocol names, but moving /etc/protocols aside seems to do
the trick. You can see from the last ipfw output that ip6 is the same as
ipv6, but they're not the same as 41.

I did a few google searches for "ipfw, freebsd, ipv6" and a number of
sites say that you just do "allow ipv6 from any to any" to get it
working. That's what I used to do too, but it doesn't work any more.

I'm running 8-Stable csupped yesterday on i386: FreeBSD

Mikhail,

I don't use OOo on FreeBSD, so I can't help you directly.

However, I see similar behaviour on Kubuntu Linux. If I double click on
some files that are associated with OOo, I see the splash screen and it
hangs forever. If I start OOo from the command line without any
parameters, it works correctly - I then open the file from the menu.
Maybe that's a workaround for you for now.

I haven't seen any bugs on the OOo site that seem to match this. I'll
try to get a reproducable case and report it.

HP LJ 1020: "ulpt0: offline"

[Graham Menhennitt]

I have a HP Laserjet 1020 printer that I've been using with FreeBSD 7
and 8 for the last few years. It's connected via USB as described in my
blog at http://menhenitt.com.au and it's been working up until today.

I just did a csup to RELENG_8 as of yesterday. After a make
build/installworld and build/installkernel and "portupgrade -a", it's
stopped working. When I power it on, I hear its startup noise and then
the second noise as the firmware is downloaded to it. After that, it
doesn't respond. CUPS reports "Waiting for printer to become
available..." and dmesg shows:

ugen1.3:  at usbus1
ulpt0:  on usbus1
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
ulpt0: offline

The last line "ulpt0: offline" appears just after the firmware download.

Foo2zjs doesn't seem to have changed recently. CUPS has changed but I
doubt that's the problem. Maybe something to do with USB drivers?

Does anybody have any clues please.

Thanks,
Graham

recommended miniPCI 802.11a/b/g card for Soekris net5501 running FreeBSD 8-STABLE?

[Graham Menhennitt]

I've been trying to get reliable wireless AP functionality in my Soekris
net5501 (http://soekris.com/net5501.htm) box for some time now. In the
past I've reported a problem with it
(http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-stable@freebsd.org/msg105623.html)
that causes it to report "ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count
4)". I can minimise this by increasing the count but I still get the
problem and the wifi connection is patchy - dropped connections, and low
transfer speeds. So, I think the easiest solution is to get a better
card. Can somebody please recommend any such miniPCI board.

My existing board is a Wistron Neweb CM9 miniPCI wireless card,
802.11abg which is based on the Atheros AR5004 chipset.

Some cards that are easy for me to get are the Wistron Neweb DCMA-81,
5006 Super AG Atheros 6G which uses Atheros AR5414, and Senao NMP-8602
PLUS-S / EMP-8602 PLUS-S which uses AR 5006. I can probably source any
others that anybody can suggest, too.

I'm not after super speed or range, just reliable performance in a
net5501 running FreeBSD 8-STABLE and acting as a wireless access point
using WPA2.

Thanks for any assistance,
  Graham

I'm having a similar problem with the "stuck beacon" message (see my

What info do you need to be able to diagnose it?

VirtualBox hangs on FreeBSD 10-stable and then reports error

[Graham Menhennitt]

I've been successfully running VirtualBox for some time. Last week I
updated my /usr/src/ and /usr/ports, built & installed world and kernel,
and did portupgrade -a. Now VirtualBox won't start - it doesn't even
show the window with the list of VMs. I've tried as root and as myself.
I've also tried removing my .virtualbox directory. kldstat shows
vboxdrv.ko is loaded. I've rebooted after building and installing
everything.

I've run it in truss as root and the bzipped output file is at
http://menhennitt.com.au/truss.bz2. It runs for a few seconds and then
gets to the point in the truss output (around line 2890) where it does
the stuff shown below. It repeats the last poll() line at 5 second
intervals for about 5 minutes. It then shows a dialog:
Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.
The application will now terminate.
Callee RC: NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154)
When I click Ok in the dialog, it exits.

It's virtualbox-ose-4.3.26 and virtualbox-ose-kmod-4.3.26 on FreeBSD
10-stable from last week on amd64.

Does anybody please have any clues?

Thanks,
Graham

ipfw "unknown interface name igb1"

[Graham Menhennitt]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded (via source) from 11-Stable to 12-Stable on my 
router box (PC Engines APU). My firewall rules don't appear to work any 
longer during boot. I can see on the console "Line 98: unknown interface 
name igb1" when it tries to load them. The last few rules after the 
error line are not loaded. Line 98 is the "nat 1 config" line.


After boot, I run "ipfw flush;service ipfw restart" and everything works 
ok. It looks like the igb1 interface isn't fully available at the time 
when it originally tries to load.


My relevant lines (redacted) from /etc/rc.conf, /etc/ipfw.rules, and 
tail of /var/log/messages are below.


Any clues, please?

Thanks in advance,

Re: ipfw "unknown interface name igb1" SOLVED

[Graham Menhennitt]

Thanks for replying, Sergey.

The "igb" device is no longer available as an option in the kernel 
source - I need to use "em" instead. Without "em" most things still 
work, though - just not the ipfw rules on boot. Strangely, my interfaces 
still come up as "igb".


Anyway, with "em" it all now works. Thanks!

Hi all,

After boot, I run "ipfw flush;service ipfw restart" and everything

Re: em performs worse than igb (latency wise) in 12?

[Graham Menhennitt]

Not that it's at all relevant to the question here, but...

It does mostly work without em in the 12 kernel - I'm not sure how, but 
it does.


I upgraded to 12-stable via source but didn't add em to my custom 
kernel. Most things worked - basic network functionality. But I had 
problems with ipfw and igb. Adding em to the kernel fixed them.

About two weeks ago, I upgraded from the latest 11-stable to the latest 
12-stable.  After that, I periodically see the network throughput come to a 
near standstill.  This FreeBSD machine is an ESXi VM with two interfaces.  It 
acts as a router.  It uses vmxnet3 interfaces for both LAN and WAN.  It runs 
ipfw with in-kernel NAT.  The LAN side uses a bridge with vmx0 and a tap0 L2 
VPN interface.  My LAN side uses an MTU of 9000, and my vmx1 (WAN side) uses 
the default 1500.

Besides seeing massive packet loss and huge latency (~ 200 ms for on-LAN ping 
times), I know the problem has occurred because my lldpd reports:

Jul 26 15:47:03 namale lldpd[1126]: frame too short for tlv received on bridge0

And if I turn on ipfw verbose messages, I see tons of:

Jul 26 16:02:23 namale kernel: ipfw: pullup failed

This leads to me to believe packets are being corrupted on ingress.  I’ve 
applied all the recent iflib changes, but the problem persists. What causes it, 
I don’t know.

The only thing that changed (and yes, it’s a big one) is I upgraded to 
12-stable.  Meaning, the rest of the network infra and topology has remained 
the same.  This did not happen at all in 11-stable.

I’m open to suggestions.

First, try: ifconfig $ifname -rxcsum -txcsum

problem with Soekris net5501 and USB hub

[Graham Menhennitt]

I originally sent this to the Soekris list thinking it was platform 
specific. I got a couple of replies suggesting that it's a FreeBSD 
problem instead. So, if anybody can offer any insights, I would most 
appreciate it.


I have a Soekris net5501 running FreeBSD 7-Stable. I want to connect a 
number of USB devices to it:

- a HP Laserjet 1020 printer
- an APC Back UPS 350 UPS
- a 6-in-one card reader (not so fussed about this one).
The Soekris box has only one USB port brought out to a connector on the 
case, so rather than mod the box to add another port, I thought I would 
just use an external hub.


If I plug any of the devcies directly into the Soekris's USB port it 
works fine. However, if I use a USB hub then it doesn't work at all. 
I've tried it with two different hubs and two different cables. I've 
tried the hubs both with a plug pack, and being powered from the USB 
bus. The only thing common to the failures is the Soefkis and freeBSD. 
The hubs are both USB 2.0 according to their advertising.


The hub itself is recognised (although I don't have the output from
usbdevs available at the moment). The UPS doesn't ever seem to be
recognised when connected via the hub - there's nothing in dmesg and
nothing in usbdevs. Ditto for the 6-in-one card reader - the LED on the
front of it doesn't even light up.

The printer sometimes gets partially recognised. The output from
"usbdevs -v" when the printer is connected directly and working properly
looks like:

Controller /dev/usb0:
   addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x), 
AMD(0x), rev 1.00

port 1 powered
port 2 powered
port 3 powered
port 4 powered
   Controller /dev/usb1:
   addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x), 
AMD(0x), rev 1.00
port 1 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, HP LaserJet 
1020(0x2b17), Hewlett-Packard(0x03f0), rev 1.00

port 2 powered
port 3 powered
port 4 powered

However, if I connect it via the hub, it sometimes doesn't show it at 
all, while other times it says something like (doing this from memory):


   port 1 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, 0x2b17(0x2b17), 
vendor 0x03f0(0x03f0), rev 1.00


So, it can see it but it doesn't resolve the vendor or device ids. It 
looks like the Soekris can see whatever is directly connected to it, but 
 can't (reliably) see things that more than one step away.


My (custom) kernel has:

   device  usb # USB Bus (required)
   device  umass   # Disks/Mass storage - Requires 
scbus and da

   device  scbus   # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
   device  da  # Direct Access (disks)
   device  uhci# UHCI PCI->USB interface
   device  ohci# OHCI PCI->USB interface
   device  ehci# EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0)
   device  ugen# Generic

So, does anybody have any ideas about how to fix this.

Thanks for any help,
 Graham

Thanks Marat (and the others that replied). It is the same problem as in
that PR - if the devices are connected at boot time everything works. If
I power them on later it doesn't. For now that will be my workaround.
I'll look at upgrading to 8 some time soon.

Thanks again,

ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)

I'me getting the message "ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)"

I've seen Sam Leffler's reply to a previous question about the same log
message at
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-March/004196.html.

Looking at the source code of if_ath.c in stable:

if (sc->sc_bmisscount > 3)/* NB: 3 is a guess */
taskqueue_enqueue(sc->sc_tq, &sc->sc_bstucktask);\

Now, in head the 3 has been made a variable but it doesn't seem to be
able to be tuned in any reasonable way.

I've tied increasing it to 20 and it doesn't seem to have any obvious
bad effects.

So, my questions:
- is 3 really a good guess?
- can it be increased safely?
- what sort of values should I try?
- are there any consequences of increasing it?
- could it be made a sysctl tunable?

Thanks for any help,

problem booting FreeBSD 8-Beta4 on Soekris net5501

[Graham Menhennitt]

G'day,

I'm upgrading a Soekris net5501 from FreeBSD 7-Stable to 8-Beta4 (via
source). I've done a buildworld, buildkernel, and installkernel. When I
try to boot the new kernel, it stops very early on in the boot sequence.
The serial console shows:

/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x32f9f0 data=0x36374+0x1e580
syms=[0x4+0x40720+0x4+0x592a3]  
  

-   

   

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command
prompt. 
 

Booting
[/boot/kernel/kernel]...

   

/

The slash at the end is the first character of the spinner as it's
loading the kernel. It never shows the second character. I've tried two
different kernel configs - my own (from 7 modified to build with 8) and
aragon's from
http://www.nabble.com/no-time-of-day-clock-registered-on-net5501,-FreeBSD-8-td24544248.html
(with the line "options STOP_NMI" removed to get it to build). They both
do the same thing.

My loader.conf is the same as in 7:

beastie_disable="YES"
comconsole_speed="19200"
console="comconsole"

My kernel config is below.

Does anybody have any clues please?

Thanks for any help,
  Graham

Re: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)

[Graham Menhennitt]

Back in July, I asked the following on this list. I didn't get any replies.

I was running 7.2 at the time and the messages were coming up every
couple of minutes. Now I've upgraded to 8-RC1 and the same message is
coming out on the console every few seconds. The miss count limit is now
a sysctl tunable. I've increased it to 20 which slows the messages down
but they still happen. I then increased it to 2000 which has stopped
them completely. Although I did get a few "ath0: device timeout" messages.

It seems to work correctly as a WPA2 AP.

Below is the contents of my hostapd.conf and the relevant lines from
rc.conf. Is this something to worry about? Can I improve it any way?

Thanks for any help,
  Graham

hostapd.conf:
interface=wlan0
debug=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ssid=Menhennitt
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=x
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=CCMP

rc.conf:

create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap mode 11g"
hostapd_enable="YES"

lots of security advisories rehashed

[Graham Menhennitt]

I subscribe to the RSS feed of FreeBSD security advisories 
(http://vuxml.freebsd.org/freebsd/rss.xml). Today, it told me that there 
were forty-something advisories. I went to the VuXML site and saw that a 
stack of old entries have been updated to have today as their "Entry" 
date. What's the reason? Is it something to be worried about?


Thanks,

Re: Reproducible panic - Going nowhere without my init!

[Graham Menhennitt]

Let me preface this by saying that I know nothing about this particular 
bit of code, but...


As a general rule, I would question the use of gettimeofday() while 
panicing. At that stage, everything could have already gone down the 
plug hole.


That said, it already calls sleep(), so maybe that uses the same 
gettimeofday() call internally. In which case, please ignore this comment.

Any explanation why sleep(STALL_TIMEOUT) as apposed to a
bunch of sleep(1)'s tickles the panic?

Also, it is definitely not sleeping for 30 seconds. I guess some
event interrupts the sleep loop?

disk errors: CAM status: Uncorrectable parity/CRC error

[Graham Menhennitt]

G'day all,

I'm setting up a machine running 11-Stable on a PC Engines APU2C board. 
It has a 16Gb SSD as its first disk (ada0), and a Seagate 2Tb SATA-3 
disk as its second (ada1). I'm getting lots of read errors on the second 
disk. They appear on the console as:


(ada1:ahcich1:0:0:0): READ_FPDMA_QUEUED. ACB: 60 00 00 6b 02 40 00 00 00 
01 00 00

(ada1:ahcich1:0:0:0): CAM status: Uncorrectable parity/CRC error
(ada1:ahcich1:0:0:0): Retrying command

dmesg:

 ACS-2 ATA SATA 3.x device
ada1: Serial Number 
ada1: 600.000MB/s transfers (SATA 3.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes)
ada1: Command Queueing enabled
ada1: 1907729MB (3907029168 512 byte sectors)
ada1: quirks=0x1<4K>

I've replaced the disk and the cable without improvement. Unfortunately, 
I don't have a second CPU board to try.


Is it possible that the board can't keep up with the data coming from 
the disk? If so, can I try slowing it down somehow?


Any other suggestions, please?

Thanks,

    Graham

In my case, adding:

This probably isn't much use to you, but I'm running FreeBSD 11-Stable 
on two APU2s. But I'm booting from SSD, not SDHC. No problems here.

I have the same panic reproducibly. Shutting off nfs_server_enable (i.e.
mountd) in rc.conf prevents it. This is with 6-STABLE cvsupped
yesterday. I'll get some more info and follow up the PR.

I rebuilt my kernel (to enable debugging) and now it doesn't panic. So
it seems that an old kernel (from around the end of May) with a new
mountd (from Sunday) will crash. But a new kernel with a new mountd won't.

Can I suggest avoiding the problem by not using sendmail at all. I use
fetchmail to retrieve from a POP3 server and pass emails to procmail
which runs them through spamassassin and then dumps them straight into
my IMAP  (dovecot) server's directories (in maildir format).

"ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp" after cvsup and making worldfmen

[Graham Menhennitt]

I just cvsupped to the latest RELENG_5 (as of yesterday) and built and 
installed the world and a new kernel. When I boot the new kernel, I get 
an error "ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp". At the "mountroot>" prompt, 
whatever I type (even '?') causes a crash and reboot. I can still boot 
my old kernel without a problem. The dmesg from the old kernel and a 
capture of the boot of the new kernel are below. Noticably absent from 
the new one is the line "ad0: 76319MB  [155061/16/63] at

Can somebody please help?

Hi Doug. Thanks for responding.
If you break out of the beastie menu with '6' then enter:
unload
boot kernel.old
that will get you your old, working kernel. Make a backup of this kernel
before doing anything else by 'cd /boot; cp -Rp kernel.old kernel.WORKS'.
You can then reference this in loader by doing 'boot kernel.WORKS'.
 

Already done that.
Next we need to determine why the disk did not probe. I'd suggest booting
with -v and looking for messages from ata about disk discovery.
 

A capture of the "boot -v" is below. It doesn't mean anything to me.
Did you change anything in your kernel config between these kernels?
 

No. My kernel config is below too.
Thanks again for helping,
   Graham

Hm .. from the -v output it looks like the first ATA channel is not
resetting properly for the probe. We'll need to get a better idea of when
the problem appears since a lot has changed between January and now.
 

Doug,
I compared the output of "boot -v" for the working and broken kernels. 
It seems that the broken one does fewer loops around the disk probe and 
hence has less lines of
   ata0-master: stat=0x90 err=0x90 lsb=0x90 msb=0x90
than the one that works. Since that line comes from ata-lowlevel.c, I 
cvs'ed versions of that file going back to around when I built the 
working kernel. The following seems to be the change that broke it.

Yes please.
 

Done - kern/79332
Do you have a long delay at the point where the bogus messages are printed
in the newer kernel, but in the older? The change implies that it will get
out of a busted channel faster, but your disk apparently needs a longer
delay.  If its hanging for the full 30s on the working kernel then that
woud explain why shortening the dealy ends up with a missing disk.
 

No, there is about a 3 second delay.
If you want to try another workaround, increase the ata_udelay(10); by
2, and progressively longer until your disk reappears. (You may want to
reduce the for exit condition on timeout since it'll wait 310 iterations.)
If that doesn't work, start increasing the DELAY()s.
 

I've increased it to 40 and it fixes the problem - 30 doesn't. 
I'll update the PR to reflect this.

Thanks for your help,
 Graham

Are you sure about that? I only allow PublickeyAuthentication ssh2

You can't believe how disappointed I was. I thought I was going to get a

If you don't think that 6.1 must be released then just ignore it and

One workaround is to not modify /etc/termcap at all. Instead just store
them in a file somewhere and (depending on your shell) do
export TERMCAP=/my/custom/termcap
Or even
export TERMCAP=custom:my custom entry

See the ENVIRONMENT section near the bottom of "man 3 curses".

That is an interactive script that lets you delete all packages that
aren't required by other packages.  You still need some way to work
out what dependencies were installed by the first package.
 

But I think it can be made to do what Yann wants. You can pkg_delete the 
original package/port (A as he described it). Then run pkg_rmleaves 
(possibly more than once) and it will delete B and D, but keep C because 
it's not a leaf. If you have any leaf packages that you don't want to 
delete, you need to be careful of those. Perhaps run pkg_rmleaves before 
deleting A and note any pre-existing leaves.

puzzling "ipfw show" output

[Graham Menhennitt]

I got the following output from "ipfw show" in my daily security run output 
email.

+++ /tmp/security.yri47lgA  Mon Dec 12 03:01:45 2005
+00522  3530 1204158 deny ip from 10.0.0.0/8 to any via sis1
+0252218 784 deny tcp from any to any in via sis1 setup
+65530 0   0 deny ip from any to any
+65535 2 688 deny ip from any to any

Could somebody please explain to me how those packets got past rule 65530 to be 
stopped by (the identical) rule 65535? The ipfw rules have not changed since 
the machine rebooted. The only explanation I have is that the packets arrived 
between the time when the machine started accepting incoming packets and when 
the rules were loaded in /etc/rc.d/ipfw.

If that's the case, it's a pretty good argument for defaulting to rejecting 
packets. Didn't somebody here suggest that this wasn't really necessary a few 
weeks ago (something to do with using pf)?

You just explained this yourself.

One solution to this small problem could be to change part of the boot
sequence into this:

a. Create VLAN interfaces etc if configured, assign IP addresses to
   each configured interface, but do not UP them.

b. Load the firewall rules, and optionally turn on forwarding.

c. Set all configured interfaces to UP.

One last question:

Why do you need rule 65530 when the built-in rule 65535 does the same
job?

  
Thanks Trond. You've confirmed what I suspected. I just wanted to be 
sure that there wasn't something dodgy happening.


As James has already said, the extra rule is so that it doesn't matter 
if the "default to accept" option is set or not. It would also handle 
the case where I made a mistake and accidentally turned that option on, 
or there was a bug in the kernel that made it the default. Just making sure.

network interface dies randomly - ifconfig down then up fixes

[Graham Menhennitt]

I have a Arris Cornerstone CM200 cable modem connected to my FreeBSD stable 
(cvsupped last week) box via UTP into a NE2000 compatible ISA Ethernet 
adaptor. The connection randomly dies. I can send pings out of it and see 
the Activity LED flash on the modem but the FreeBSD box never sees any 
replies. Doing "ifconfig ed1 down" followed by "ifconfig ed1 up" fixes it. 
It's been happening for about the last two weeks (so it happened before the 
most recent cvsup also).

Does anybody have any suggestions?

XFree86 4.0.1 port fails "don't know how to make: clean"

[Graham Menhennitt]

I sent this to the ports mailing list but didn't get a reply. I'll try
here...

Has anybody had any success with building the XFree86 4.0.1 port (on
4-Stable, although I doubt that it makes an difference)? I've tried a few
times and I always get:
don't know how to make: clean
in the "doc" directory. When I look at the Makefile in that directory, it
has a size of zero bytes!!

It's a very clean machine (just installed 4.0, cvsup'ed to 4-Stable, made
the world and the kernel, mergemastered, and rebooted). The checksums
verified correctly, the extract works ok, the config stuff seems to
work, and it starts building. Very soon after, it aborts

Does somebody have a clue?
