The option that I found the easiest was to add

 Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"

To the ServerFlags section. I was told in the ports list that you can add it 
to the ServerLayout section but I could never make that work.

The handbook shows the usage of PACKAGESITE to specify the path. The main 
difference is that is shows the path to .../Latest/ instead of .../All/

Have you looked at /var/log/messages? I would be surprised if you have 
not had a number of 

Jul 27 00:55:32 ruby kernel: re0: watchdog timeout
Jul 27 00:55:32 ruby kernel: re0: link state changed to DOWN
Jul 27 00:55:35 ruby kernel: re0: link state changed to UP

People have complained a long time ago and basically given up on getting 
it fixed.

You didn't really say that your cvsup updated everything but if you didn't you 
have to do a cvsup of ports-all for ports to be built.

The order of your builds in previous messages had the kernel built on an old 
world. You are supposed to do the buildworld first and then, build and 
install the kernel. The classic way at this point is to boot into single user 
mode and do the installworld.

Coming from the diagnostic side in the days of our Cray, I believe that one 
broken machine means more than 100 without problems. There just seems to be 
more to this than is normal.

So am I. Especially when I transfer a GB or 2 from Windows XP to 
6.1-stable. I use the FreeBSD machine as a backup for digital photos 
and my ripped mp3 files. A photo session is usually in excess of 1 GB 
and can hang with the watchdog timeout.

In my system, you get the timeout, then the state is downed and then 
uped. Your transfer session is basically dead at that point. On 
Tuesday, Klop had an email with a copy of what you see in the message

Ignore part of what I said. I am getting the same errors on re0. All I 
have to do to force the error is ftp a GB or 2 to the destination 
machine using 1000baseT NICs. My host machine is XP and I use the 
destination machine as a backup for photos and mp3 files. A photo 
session is usually on the order of 1-2 GBs.

It seems to be at the top of the tree somewhere because people are also 
seeing the watchdog timeouts on em and I get them on the gigabit re's.

I got them downloading the kde-3.5.4 distfiles on a 768kb DSL line. I 
had setiathome running, which keeps the cpu useage close to 100%.

But in a laptop it could be related to heat such as a clogged heatsink 
or the equivalent. In one of my AMD desktop, I blew the dust out of the 
heat sink and the cpu temp dropped 5oC. There is a list of causes in 
the FAQ and they can all be the cause.

I tested buildworlds with different values for -j. On single processors, 
using a script that basically looked like

time make -j? ...

yielded fastest builds when I didn't specify a value for -j. On dual 
cpu's a value around -j8 yielded the fastest build. I am not interested 
in system and user time. To me the fastest build is the one that 
produced the smallest wallclock time or elapsed time, which is the 3rd 
field in the output of time. The fastest build also yielded the highest 
cpu utilization, which is the 4th field.

I figure specifying a value for -j on single cpu system is simply 
thrashing the cpu by forcing it to save the environment to work on a 
different section of the build.

I also found that mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj on different 
controller/HDs from the system reduced the build time. I was using 
ata-133 HDs and a good scsi would be change the results. It is too easy 
to test in your environment to see what produces the fastest 
buildworld.

I am going to have to upgrade at some point and an AMD X2 should be 
interesting.

That was why I commented about making your own tests. I had ata-133 or 
100 HDs on individual controllers. Comparing an ata based system with a 
scsi isn't a real comparison.

My tests are at
http://users.owt.com/kstewart/freebsd/urban_legends.html
and I see I got the shortest elapsed time with -j4 and -j8. It has been 
too long to remember what I did to improve the -j8. They were run on 
FreeBSD 4.3 and I no longer have a dual cpu system.

His results are too old to use as a reference. My system was the next 
step up and is also too old to consider current. His cpus were Intel 
Pentium pro 200MHZ and the bus speed alone (66MHz) would make a big 
difference. Only having 64MB of memory may also skew the results.

My system was 2 Intel pIII 866's and had 256-512MB of SDRAM or DDR 
memory.

If you have an uptodate port system you will find

What I find handy is a perl script called portsearch. It is located in
ports/Tools/scripts/

I moved it into a directory in my path. Then, I added an 
alias search'portsearch -n $1'

You can do interesting things like
search ^bison
Where the port name begins with bison. There are a number of other 
interesting options. They are covered in a README.

Make search does something similar but the output from portsearch is 
cleaner.

Having touch show up in a post buildworld is frequently a sign of a 
system clock running behind time. It creates a file but the file is 
older than the files you cvsuped. Make thinks it needs to remake the 
file it created and away you go.

These messages usually popup when you have a problem with ruby and the 
database setup. Something is inconsistant with that setup. Also, I 
don't know if your pkgtools.conf ignore will affect the building of the 
INDEX-*. If you ignore anything, you usually have to fetch an INDEX-* 
because you can't build a proper INDEX.

Non-boot on RELENG_6 1930 UTC source using XP's ntldr

2006-03-23 Thread Kent Stewart
I updated my system on 22 March with sources available on the mirrors at 
11:30 PST and ended up with a system that wouldn't boot. It would get 
to the point that I chose FreeBSD using ntldr and it just stopped. 

The XP sytem used an older boot1 to boot FreeBSD. I could use the 
6.0-Release CD fixit option to go back to the system update of 18 March.

Since then, I have found that if I unload the 18 March kernel, load the 
22 March kernel and boot, I get a btx dump. However, if you replace the 
old boot1 used by the ntldr with the one created by the new version of 
the OS, you can boot just fine.

I had a problem with 6.1-pre not booting. In my case, I had an old 
version of boot1 being used by ntldr. When I updated boot1, I didn't 
have any problem booting.

This looks like you were running with a -j? set and you aren't seeing 
the real error. It was hidden somewhere. 

I have only found setting -j to be of value on smp systems. You may have 
actually slowed your buildworld down.

Xorg hang on recent 6.1 build

2006-04-06 Thread Kent Stewart
I cvsuped RELENG_6 and went through the usual motions to make the world, 
kernel and install them. Everything was ok until I rebooted and started 
KDE and the x-session stopped. I could login for other computers and 
xorg was using 97% of the cpu.

After rebooting it 2x and using root the 2nd time and still have it 
hang. I did a diff of GENRIC and RUBY. GENERIC had the new kbdmux 
parameter. After I rebuilt the kernel and booted to it, I haven't had 
any problems using the machine.

If not adding kbdmux to the kernel config file can hang the user's 
x-session, I think some sort of warning should be added to UPDATING.

You are forgetting that one of the real purposes of the boot -s is to 
test your new kernel. If you have never been bitten by a kernel that 
would only panic, you have no problems. If you have, you know that you 
can boot the old kernel and continue without any problems until some 
one solves the panic. You will not most likely hit that situation on a 
security based version but this is freebsd-stable and it can happen at 
any time. 

My attitude is that if you don't boot -s, you are simply playing 
Russian-roulette with your system. Some day, it will bite you.

There must be something else going on. I just cvsuped and had no problem 
building acroreader. It was broken a while back but the current version 
isn't broken.

Did you cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall and make all and make install
it? It isn't built when you did the world and your kernel.

Ok, I wasn't sure what device you were making. I follow 4-stable and
have never had the problem. I have also done a "./MAKEDEV all"
everytime new devices were added and mergemaster told me to update
all.

I have an Abit KT7 with PC-133 memory and an Athlon 900 that doesn't
like FreeBSD 4.2-stable and Maxtor ATA100 drives. Right now, it is
running in PIO mode and that makes it less than half fast doing a
system build. The first install of FreeBSD resulted in a trashed
Win98se primary partition. There were timing issues in the bios that
were supposed to fix the ATA100 Maxtor drives. The bios was flashed to
include those fixes. I used sysctl and turned UDMA back on last night
and it didn't help the ata-disk. It went back to PIO mode in a hurry.

I'm also running the slow end on the bios memory setting. The wz beta
bios is supposed to deal with some memory timing questions. I have
downloaded wz but haven't flashed the bios yet. I am running uz, which
became w? (their www server is overloaded and can't see what they
called the uz when it was released). Abit is also up to KT7a and 686B.

I have both Maxtor's (30 GB and 40 GB - ATA100's) set to do only UDMA
33 using Maxtor's udmaupdt.exe program. That didn't help FreeBSD.
Windows 2000 didn't have any problems at the UDMA66 setting and just
slowed down a little bit at the UDMA33 setting. I have three other
systems based on the bx chipset that don't have problems doing UDMA33.

If I time my upworld script, I see user times of 18xx seconds and
1.5-1.8 hours wall clock. I figure the difference between doing an
update (cvsup of RELENG_4 to installworld) in 40 minutes wall-clock
and what I have now is disk transfer speed related. Setiathome runs at
~40% cpu in the background (niced to 19). Because it is only using
available cpu time, killing setiathome before I started the builds
didn't change the build time significantly.

I have a Promise ATA66 card that I am going to try but will have to
move one of the HD's and CDROM before the 80-pin cable will reach. The
main drive is all by itself on the ide1 controller.

Very, very carefully. It will try to change all of the configuration
files that have been updated. If you have added local mods, they
disappear. I don't let it touch my firewall rules, ppp.conf, passwd,
or groups. It will also try to change files root uses but I don't let
it. I check when it changes my dot."*" files. If I have added local
aliases or paths, I don't want them removed. The choices provided by
mergemaster on them is always i(nstall new), d(elete new), or m(erge).
On the special files, I usually press the enter key, which is none of
the above and do them individually. Then, I go through after
everything is done and merged what was important out of the files in
/var/tmp/temproot/etc. If you include the header information at the
top, it ignore that file in the future until the it is modified by the
maintainer. The rest of the files I usually add the new mods.

It is really convient to do this all from a second computer. Being
able to do that depends on your system. You could also do it from
x-windows but that really uses a lot of memory that would usually be
more beneficial to the compilers. I just happen to set my system up
such that I can do an installworld in multi-user mode. Not everyone
can do this. It is discussed in /usr/src/UPDATING. The advantage is
that it lets me telnet or ssh in and do everything from several
sessions. When I get through, I reboot from the console.

That was my point. You have to recognize what you have modified and
don't let mergemaster delete your changes unless they need to be. The
addition of .../defaults solved most of my early problems.

Yes, I have several times. On most of my files the merge option was ok
but then I found a couple of files such as rc.firewall or ppp.conf
where mergemaster was looking at such a small part of the picture that
it was confusing. A poor choice and your access to the world suddenly
disappears and you have to grab the backup and start over. I used its
diff as a basis even when I did it manually. I also need to go back an
try it on something other than the command line and I have more width
available.

Well, I updated my sources last night and didn't have a problem doing
the usual buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, and installworld.

What version did you start with? Are you trying to build a release
because I don't have a disk-1 directory.

Don't use ssh to do the installworld. If you telnet, you don't have
any problem.

I also use cvsup8 and have a number of successful cvsup's and build's
since 26 Jan. Four of them have been run since 1 Feb. I don't have any
idea what is wrong at your site. I don't have any symlinks but do
mount /usr/src and /usr/obj on different HD's.

Thanks for this thread because of it, I found that I could telnet in

It did fix the panic problem on the computer that was panicing when I
had tested wavplay before.

I tried to install 2.1 but it died doing koffice. The mirror's were

Yes, there are several things that I think are basically wrong. On the
-j4 option, what was -current is now 4.0-release or later. On a fast
uniprocessor system, using -j4 on the make actually causes the
buildworld to run 10% or more longer by the clock. Your user and
system time may be shorter but the build takes forever. You are adding
overhead to access I/O that the HD's can't provide and the cpu is left
in an idle state waiting for I/O. This becomes especially true on
large single HD's. Turning on softupdates helps. I have a AMD
Thunderbird 900 with 256MB of PC-133 memory that I tried various
combinations on. I added ATA-100 HD's until I had reasonable build
times. I eventually ended up with 3 and had each on its own
controller. I haven't tried fast scsi yet but I think the majority of
the new users are building systems around IDE drives and you can see
the slowdown when you use -jx with x >= 2. It isn't bad for people
running setiathome because it will continue to use 40% or more of the
cpu and doesn't interfere. When the percentage reported by time goes
over 100%, which it can for multiprocessor systems, setiathome didn't
get much time. That data also wasn't included in my table.

The only system that can use -j4 is a dual headed system (2-P-III
866's with 256MB of PC-133) with the source on a 2-HD HPT-370 raid-0
array. The system has 3-30GB Maxtor ATA-100 HD's all on different
controllers. The variation in build time ran from 1:21 to 34 minutes
with softupdates and /usr/src on the raid-0 array. If I tee the output
from the build to a file, it only slows the build down to 35:xx
minutes. Some entries from my build times log are:

buildworld, softupdates, 1-HD
1597.238u 629.123s 47:52.34 77.5%   1227+1393k 42713+11617io

The chflag noschg isn't needed on 4.2. I don't know when that was
changed but you don't have to use it to rm -rf * files in /usr/obj. Of
course, if you have a kern_secure level set in 4.2, you can't noschg
anything from multi-user mode and the installkernel will die trying to
mv the kernel's around. You have to be running in single user mode to
get around the kern_secure level setting.

I had to chuckle at this point. I'm running 3.3.6 and KDE-2.1 on a
dual 866 coppermine system. On it, kicker has 95% of the second cpu
full time. I wonder what is taking half of your system/

You have to read the source but it is easier to see the changes at

documented starting around 22 Jan.

LOL, this struck me funny because it would have to be reverse printed.
Sort of like Ambulance spelled backwards on the front of one. 

Since Mergemaster is the suggested way of updating /etc, why not add a
"don't forget to run mergemaster message" at the end of installworld.
Then add the Beta message at the very front of motd. The ones that use
a script will never see it but then they probably don't need to. It
might even be added using a #if define of some sort. I don't have any
idea if that kind of logic is possible. Just an idea that popped into
my mind.

In several places, it is suggested that they follow stable for several
weeks before they try upgrading to stable and that is being ignored.
There is a sufficient number that will still drop a "whot hoppnd"
message onto the stable list. I think people focus on spots of
interest and ignore the rest. Their method of dealing with the number
of messages.

I just tried it and it didn't work. The mount complained about
incorrect super block. I had /dev/acd0c defined in my fstab as
mounting /cdrom. I tried mount /cdrom and it worked.

I thought that was what is already built into 4-stable right now. I
did a named -v and 8.2.3-REL pops up.

I have sound on all but my P-200. I have one that I had to add the sbc
device but the rest all worked with nothing more than "device pcm".
Sound is much easier on 4.x because it is consistent there. You have to
worry about pcm0 or pcm1 on 3.x. When you get the kernel made,
installed, and reboot. The device shows up in dmesg. You make a device
for /dev/snd? where the "? is the digit on the end of your pcm? device
from your boot. I had to do a ./MAKEDEV snd0. When I finished I had
sound.

Shortly after this thread appeared, I cvsup'ed and rebuilt 4.3-stable just
fine. The .depend's might be something that a "make cleandir" would remove.

My buildworld on a dual 866 coppermine system went from 42 minutes to 29
minutes. The other side effect was the -j8 parameter finally did
something. Before that anything from -j2 on, actually made the
buildworld run longer. I think the cpu's were starved for I/O. The
system is built around 3-ATA-100 Maxtor 30GB HD's. The motherboard is a
VP6 and each HD is on its own controller. Using raid-0 also slowed the
compile down.

I think your source is corrupted or something. I saw this and did a
cvsup @ 9:40 PDT. I sailed through the section used to build troff
without any problem. Also make sure your clock is set to the right time.

How do you wake up some of the cvsup site managers. For example,
cvsup4.freebsd.org has been told at least twice going back to 12 Sep 01
that he is running the old version. That site is still pumping out
source with the S1G bug. A cvsup started at 9:25 PDT shows

Connected to cvsup4.FreeBSD.org

What did you cvsup from and what options are you using on the cvsup. 
Also what version of cvsup are you using? To find out the version do 
"cvsup -v". If you aren't using 16.11d or higher, that could be your 
problem. You can get a fixed version at

Or the NFS corruption problem that has been discussed on -hackers. Fixes

I just cvsup'ed RELENG_4 and rebuilt my system with out any problem. You 
have something messed up on your end. Sometimes, weird stuff like this 
can be caused by a system clock that is way off. If it is off, set it to 
the proper time and then recvsup and etc.

I received these two patches from J. Lemon. They sort of do something. 
I can see the first two blocks of the MAC address but it doesn't move 
to the next two pairs and that is as far as they go towards working. I 
converted what JLemon sent to patches to stable. I have attached them.

I have two systems using the K7S5A motherboard and one that uses an 
Amptron 830LM, which is also based on the SiS 735 chipset.

I had no problems cvsuping RELENG_4 an hour ago and doing a 
buildworld. What did you cvsup?

Is the "buildword" a typing error for your email?

I happen to think that cvsup is one program that should be added as a 
package. You reduce the side effects introduced by having one port 
that needs a modula compiler. The s1g site has both versions and you 
download your choice.

If it has to be MFC'ed can we get a diff of the changes to stable? I 
can replace some ISA 10baseT NICs with PCI based stuff and have one 
less card in two computers.

Then, all we need is for the sound to work :).

I cvsup upgraded to 4.4 and didn´t have a problem getting it to boot. 
I have 3 systems based on the SiS-735 chipset that have been running 
4-stable. You don't have anything faster that ata-33 without recent 
changes by Sören. I have two systems with CDs on them and I could boot 
the 4.5rc1.iso and sysinstall appeared to work. It was only on the 3rd 
system with the dvd device that I had problems. It would boot but 
sysinstall was hung from startup.

FWIW, I also have a fully functional sis0 NIC (on all 3 systems, 
2-'ECS'K7S5As and an Amptron 830LM) with an additional change that 
will be made soon (hopefully!!) to if_sis.c

First of all, when you have a -stable problem, you are supposed ask 
question like this on the stable list. There, most of us have seen 
this, and made it past. It seems to come in 2 or 3 levels. If you are 
part of the easy (1st group), the instruction in /usr/src/UPDATING 
will get you past this problem. The headers used to be generated and 
now they are part of the souce. Combinations of rm and "make cleandir" 
are required. If the UPDATING doesn't fix it, look at the archive for 
stable. All of the solutions are available there.

I remember switching to shell scripts to do all of this when O'Brien 
updated the /binutils during the transition from 4.0 > 4.1. The 
consequence of mistyping a script name was immediately apparent where 
as, mistyping an option would be found at the end of a bad make session.

The sequence of buildworld, build[install]kernel, installworld wasn't 
an option when the /binutils were updated. I kind of wonder if the 
same thing is going to happen when the /binutils are updated in ~2 
months as was commented else where.

Ah! Bad phrasing on my part. "Wasn't an option" meant it was the only 
choice. There was a race to be the first one to use the new /binutils 
the night he made the changes and I was the first one bitten by the 
old way of doing things. I haven't found any reason to switch since :).

It was a clean RELENG_4 system. All of the devinfo-> lines's have been 
changed and your patchs can not find the lines to change. When Alfred 
changed the usb structures, they all have this udi_ added such as

Your patch
-devinfo->vendorNo, devinfo->productNo, devinfo->releaseNo,
-devinfo->class, devinfo->subclass, devinfo->protocol);

The code
devinfo->udi_vendorNo, devinfo->udi_productNo, devinfo->udi_releaseNo,
devinfo->udi_class, devinfo->udi_subclass, devinfo->udi_protocol);

These were all shifted to the left to prevent wraping.

Have you tried his next patch set at http://www.josef-k.net/misc/

You store it in /usr/src and gunzip it and "patch < the_patch".

This is covered in your /usr/src/UPDATING. The header file used to be 
genereated and now it isn't but you have a generated version hanging 
around in the custom kernel area.

If the scheme in UPDATING doesn't work for you, the way people have 
dealt with it has been covered many, many times in -stable and you 
need to check the archive.

It looks like it is complaining about your version of freetype. The
XF86 -4.2 that I build had b-deps and r-deps of

Port:   XFree86-4.2.0_1,1
Path:   /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4

XFree86-fontEncodings-4.2.0 XFree86-fontScalable-4.2.0
XFree86-libraries-4.2.0_1 freetype2-2.0.9 imake-4.2.0

Some people rm -rf /usr/X11R6/* but I didn't. I also started out by 
deleting all of the ports (pkg_delete -r "XFree*") that used XF86 and 
all of XF86's b-deps before I started building 4.2.

The hardest part was about half of kde-3 would not make packages for 
the slow maching installs. All of the kde-3 ports will "make package" now.

You aren't running a full set of source and the build is bombing 
because of it. You are missing the following

# These are the individual collections that make up FreeBSD's crypto
# collection. They are no longer export-restricted and are a part of
# src-all
#src-crypto
#src-eBones
#src-secure
#src-sys-crypto

The important one is src-sys-crypto and if you are not using src-all, you have to 
include it.

They need to be current to process the images and etc. I use 
XFree86-4.2.0 and you probably still have 3.3.6 installed. Version 4.2 
is now the default and you need to define your version in 
/etc/make.conf. I use "XFREE86_VERSION=  4", which is now the default.

If you don't have portupgrade installed, you have to "make index" 
after every cvsup of ports-all. If you have portupgrade installed, you 
run "portsdb -uU" to update /usr/port/INDEX and INDEX.db. The INDEX 
files are not updated as often and the ports are and will have stale 
dependancies.

The miibus is a kernel thing and you only needed to buildkernel again.

You have to have include src-sys-crypto when you cvsup. The best way 
is to cvsup src-all

Do you have a slave device and no master on that controller? FreeBSD

After you cvsuped ports-all, did you rebuild the /usr/ports/INDEX* 
files? I use portupgrade and so I have to "portsdb -uU" everytime I cvsup.

I have tried it after few days with fresh sources from CVS, same result.
I am using 4.6 release, gcc 2.95.3.

I don't really understand what "Name conflicts" means. Am I doing anything
wrong ?


I am confused here. You use the term -stable and 4.6.2. They are not 
the same. I also haven't had my first cup of coffee. A build of 
-stable uses "gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]". The buildworld 
acts like a cross compiler and creates its own set of tools.

I cvsuped RELENG_4 and src-all after reading your message. I did not 
have any conflicts. I am suspecting identical names that may be a 
carry over from older builds. My build went like this (ignore the wraps)

gzip -cn /usr/src/usr.bin/gensetdefs/gensetdefs.8 > gensetdefs.8.gz

My cvs-mirror was updated at 1821 GMT time. You have a unique path 
name for /usr/obj. Is it a link? I have /usr/src and /usr/obj on their 
own partitions on different HDs.

As you can see, it's doing this:
- get all lines from *.gperf that begin with _ or A-Z (identifiers?)
- check if all these lines are unique

But for example in sysconf.gperf (from CVS) there is:
int
find_sysconf(const char *name, int *key)

That simple "int" on first line is conflicting with another "int" from
another function's declaration. What I can't understand is, how is it
possible that build went ok ???


You can override a definition in a argument list. The only comparison 
would be with modules that call find_sysconf. You do that all of the 
time with things like (int)a.

Look in the stable archives for gperf. I have to go someplace but I 
have a visual recall of seeing problems and a fix for gperf. It will 
be 3 or 4 hours before I get back.

I cvsup everuthing, but I don't think port dependencies have much to do

You can't use "portsdb -U" right now. You have to

I get almost always "dependency list incompletes" with portsdb -Uu.
Would it be a good idea to always use the above instead?


No, because portsdb -U uses much less computer time to rebuild INDEX 
than make index does. On my AMD 2000+ XP, which is designed to do 20 
minute buildworlds, a portsdb -U requires ~7 minutes and a make index 
requires ~11 minutes. If you are going to work on your ports, the 
extra time is time you just sit there. I find people go into their own 
version of an idle-loop after 2 minutes.

We just have to wait for knu to fix it.

You aren't showing the error. The error 1 just means there was an 
error messager earlier. Since they are stopping in different places, 
I would expect hardware errors of some sort. If you are running a 
make with a "-j?", turn it off so you don't get your error message in 
a misleading location in the output. 

I personally find no -j faster then supplying a -j.

This was the kind of error that I was expecting. One of the causes is 
like Cy suggested and it looks to be heat related. You might try 
running one of the mb monitors. I have AMD and have to use 
xmbmon-107p1 but on some of my older systems I run lmmon. That will 
show the rpm on the fans and will let you know if one is running 
slow.

You didn't provide anything interesting. Your rc.conf and a dmesg would 
be interesting. I can't help you with dhcp but I don't think that is 
your problem. I think you have something that hasn't been defined but

I don't either. I think Kris made a comment on one of them a while back 
about the index building process not being able to detect that they 
were different.

I was looking at something else and missed that part. I maintain I run 
"kent" because I have so many aliases and shell scripts that do most of 
the repetitive things. I also try to keep things clean. I used to have 
a script that did everything from cvsup to installworld and I only had 
to run mergemaster when it finished. Now, I split them up into tasks  
that have a single purpose. I got used to doing this during my 
programming days. You didn't change or add many features before you 
started debugging what you had done. If you stepped on something you 
didn't know which change had done it. So, my update ports script only 
cvsup updates the port structure and recreates my INDEX files. Running 
pkgdb violates my single purpose rule. Since you really need to update 
your INDEX files everytime you cvsup ports-all, rebuilding the INDEX 
files is part of my port cvsup update script.

We have similar versions locally. One says "I work at Hanford, I glow in 
the dark". Another was similar to "In case of power failure, I glow in 
the dark", and etc. The truth was I got a higher exposure flying above 
30K feet than I did at work. When I was going to school at the U of 
Utah, there was a coal fired plant across from the mobile home park 
that I lived in. I probably had a higher dose from it than any 
occupational exposure.

Some people worked in areas with substantial backgrounds but I could 
only visit some of these areas. None of the ones I had access to had 
really high background readings.

I think a lot of the problems you are seeing may be due to none of the 
ports that depend on XFree86-libraries were rebuilt when you only do a 
-rR. Portupgrade only updates the ports that are identified as having 
been updated. You have to force the upgrade to build everything else. 
When I upgraded my system, I used "portupgrade -pufr imake".

You may get by using -rR but you don't know if any of the library 
structures were changed during the upgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.3 and 
everything that wasn't rebuilt is still using data from the old 
headers.

Did you rebuild the indexes that portupgrade needs after you cvsup'ed

These aren't the error message. The error 1's are telling you that you 
have an error. If you can't see it, you need to redirect stdout and 
stderr from your installworld to a file.

Since it is dying in 2 different tags, and no one else is having 
problems, the first assumption is that you have something wrong in your 
setup. For example, are you cvsuping src-all? Do you have anything in 
/etc/make.conf? Are you running the installworld from single user mode 
and etc.

The section of the dmesg and the location where the boot freezes.

ohci0:  mem 0xcffce000-0xcffcefff irq 10 at 
device 2.2 on pci0
usb0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support
usb0:  on ohci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0: SiS OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 3 ports with 3 removable, self powered

The boot hangs at this point. It also freezes the kvm switch. It was 
cvsup'ed at 1822 PDT ( 0122 UTC). I am back to running the kernel from 
30 August.

My system is also hanging during the boot. The only usb changes made 
from the system that works and the one that hangs are the following:

# Edit file src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs

* Update to 1.11.2.48 (at 2003-09-02 14:35:17 by joe)

# Edit file src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs.h

* Update to 1.32.2.45 (at 2003-09-02 14:35:57 by joe)

# Edit file src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs_data.h

* Update to 1.32.2.45 (at 2003-09-02 14:35:57 by joe)

# Edit file src/sys/dev/usb/uvisor.c

* Update to 1.7.2.6 (at 2003-09-02 14:35:17 by joe)

I haven't tried disconnecting it. My system hangs during the boot to 
single user mode to do the installworld. I don't see any point in 
completing the boot and doing the installworld.

The only thing plugged into the hub is a MS Sidewinder Precision 2 
Joystick and a MS Sidewinder game voice.

Mine doesn't either and the fact it dies in the boot -s phase of 
updating the system is a verification of the reason to boot to single 
user mode. I have tried unplugging the USB devices and it will finish 
the boot. I won't, however, finish the installworld.
