Silicon Laboratories CP2101/CP2102 usb serial adapters & FreeBSD

2006-08-08 Thread Odhiambo Washington
Hiya,

I have scoured the net today trying to find out if any kind soul 
managed to port drivers for the $subject to FreeBSD.

I can see there is already support for CP21XX in Linux, and even
in OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org/plus.html).

I have a CDMA modem with this chipset, which I'd have loved to
use with FreeBSD 5.5 or 6.1.


Daniel O'Connor was making an attempt, but I did not find any
info whether he succeeded.

FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE, HP DC7600CMT : bge0 and irq issues

2007-01-14 Thread Odhiambo Washington
I am having a problem that I have now come to believe is specific only 
to HP DC7600 CMT PC, of which I have several pieces running FreeBSD 
5.5-STABLE (all updated via CVSUP).

When these PCs boot, I see the following messages on the console:

Interrupt storm detected on "irq19: atapci1"; throttling interrupt source
bge0: firmware handshake timed out

Now

gw# grep irq /var/run/dmesg.boot

Interrupt storm detected on "irq19: atapci1"; throttling interrupt source



 irq 19 is assigned atapci1 from the above messages.

I have tried google, but perhaps with the wrong keywords, as happens 
sometimes!

Q1. Why I am getting Interrupt storm?
Q2. Is there a particular problem with the bge0 drivers? (but why only 
on this PC, because I haven't seen this on other PCs havnng bge cards)

Thank you 4 any insights..

4.2-STABLE build fails

Hi
I've seen much of this discussed here but mine seems to break at this
point:

/usr/obj/usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref/troff.core

..and with this msg on the console...

Jan  3 18:54:07 alouette /kernel: pid 54505 (troff), uid 0: exited on
signal 11 (core dumped)
Jan  3 18:54:07 alouette /kernel: pid 54523 (troff), uid 0: exited on

Even a fresh cvsup (after rm-ing all my srcs and usr/obj) does not help.
Any pointer what this 13.viref thing is and how I can sort that out will
be highly appreciated.

Sounds quite a rare situation, unless there is a file that you've moved
around while adapting it to each machine - and that file could be having a
small issue within. I'm thinking of a situation where you do not want to
manually edit your syslog.conf for every individual machine and so just
copy one syslog.conf from machine A into machines B and C, which then end
up inheriting the small typo in syslog.conf.

You could start from there but that's a guess.

Apparently I did blow up the machine and did a fresh cvsup, built troff
by hand before buildworld and installworld and I went away with it.
I multiboot the bos with ALL those Windows versions (Win98/NT4
SERVER/2000 SERVER) and they never complained. Kent Stewart also pointed
me towards this very direction and I just got apprehensive but all I
could start with is a blower. Let's give it some time maybe the monster
will ultimately rear its head;-)

Well, and does your system end up detecting ata1 (or it doesn't exist in
yours, maybe) ? Someone suspects that the 'momentary stall' at that
stage could be s'thing to do with probe for ata1 (a couple others have
it - I have it too on a clone that I run and no stall) but even a kernel
compile without ata1 still yields no difference.

I am not the one who is gonna do that but I can authoritatively say that
sendmail is sendmail whether from the ports or the base system. Ditto
BIND.
Those ports guys never break things willingly and through my looking
glass, I can see that they will keep the current locations for the config
files.
So I'd expect that sendmail config files will remain in /etc/mail while
BIND will have its file in /etc/namedb.

That's already backwards compatibility, no??

| I wonder what I might have done wrong to cause this.  I've just CVSupped the
| latest stable sources last night, and today I built the world as follows:
| 
| % cd /usr/src
| % make buildworld
| (loads of coffee, lunch, etc)
| % make buildkernel KERNCONF=FORTUNA
| (more coffee)
| % make installkernel KERNCONF=FORTUNA
| % reboot
| (single user)
| 
| # fsck -p
| # mount -u /
| # mount -a -t ufs
| # swapon -a
| 
| # make installworld
| # mergemaster
| 
| I told it to install the new MAKEDEV, and merge most of the stuff in /etc, the
| sort of stuff I do everytime I make the world.
| 
| # reboot
| 
| When my machine booted, I was welcomed by (Amnesiac) before login, as opposed to
| the (fortuna.paeps.cx), which I'm used to.  After a bit of testing around (a few
| changes in rc.conf, followed by reboots), I realised that the system just wasn't
| reading it on startup.  Any ideas what might have caused this?  Probably
| something silly I did, but I don't want to do it again, given the amount of
| coffee I have to consume to kill time waiting for it to let me play with it :-)
| 
| Thanks for any help!

You did cp -Rp etc etc.old before doing mergemaster and doing the mergings, yes?
If so, 

rm -rf etc
mv etc.old etc

reboot.

Then run mergemaster and choose to install all the new files (the temporary ones) 
except for the files
that you have some customizations on.
I _never_ merge anything myself: I either install the temporary one or delete it. In 
some cases I leave
for later to compare but rarely.

Adduser broken??

2002-05-11 Thread Odhiambo Washington

Hello world,


In all the machines I've updated recently, even today, adduser seems to be broken,
unless I missed something. I've scanned the -stable list for this but can't find
a mention.


When you invoke it, it says:

Usernames must match regex (shortened):
[^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-]*$]:

Then enter a username to add and it will continue to prompt you for username
till the cows come home ;-)

Any known fixes??

Thanks

poppasswd failure on 4.6-STABLE

2002-07-31 Thread Odhiambo Washington

[I posted this to -isp, but I believe it also belongs here, much or less]

Hello list,

Two days ago I upgraded my main server to 4.6-STABLE. It's been running
well on 4.5 with poppasswd. Now people cannot change password via the
web as used to be and the only error:

500 Unable to change password (from the web cgi).

poppasswd.log says:

failed attempt by X
Incorrect passwdord from X

before the upgrade things were okay.


I'm tying it to the UPDATE, by looking at the relevant log.

# I haven't been following -stable lately so I may have missed a major
  change (but still went ahead and upgraded, maybe shooting myself on
  the foot in the process)


Thank you for any insights.

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the quick response. During mergemaster, I am pretty sure no critical
file changed. I may swear this and be proved wrong though/


What I need to find out is which file controls the starting of the scripts in rc.d/

The first clue I have about all this is that I realized that mysql-server.sh
refused to start. When I attempted to start it manually the system complained that
there was "&&" that was unexpected. So I am wondering whether the syntax for /bin/sh
has changed??? There has never been a probem with these scripts before. They cannot
all develop a problem at once, and furthermore they are the default startup scripts
that come with apps installed from the ports.

The bad thing about all this is that once I was over with mergemaster, I blew away
the backup etc :-(

Where is this documented? I missed it. Is this relevant to 4.6 also? I find a problem,
for example this line:

/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --log=/var/log/mysql.log > /dev/null && echo 
-n ' mysqld'

On a 4.6 when I try the change you suggest, it complains about the ";", as in

/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --log=/var/log/mysql.log > /dev/null &; echo 
-n ' mysqld'

That is wrong isn't it? Moreso, when I change the & &&, then I cannot do 
./mysql-server.sh start,
because then it doesn't detach from the tty.


> aside from mysql-server.sh which scripts are failing too? do they include
> the "& &&" syntax?


All the scripts in there failed to start - ALL of them.
I have tpop3d.sh, exim.sh, proftppd.sh, apache.sh, drwebd.sh ..
I mean I have to start all of them manually :-(

Please allow me to bother you with this by attaching the scripts.
I believe there is something else that has made them fail.
If only I could zero in on it.


THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking your time to see me through this. I am most grateful.

Hoping that the port maintainers are all up to date with the info, that is.
I'll look at that option in a few minutes.

I normally read the /usr/src/UPDATING before doing any builds but I did not
see anything and was later to get this shcok.

When I ran mergemaster, I actually installed the newer versions of rc* except
for /etc/rc.conf which I did not want touched, so the problem is somewhere else, no?
I have re-run mergemaster -s and reinstalled those files again (without any mods).
Doesn't change the situation.


> the attached scripts should all work fine...

At the expense of being seen as dump, I'd like to know which script does the
initialization/running of the scripts in rc.d/ - I guess that is where the
problem is, because it would appear rc.d/ is totally ignored!!



Thank you.

Exim + Oracle on FreeBSD - a complication

2003-11-07 Thread Odhiambo Washington

Hello All,

Please bear with me as I am not quite sure which is the correct list to
post this to. I am divided on whether freebsd-database or freebsd-isp
would be the most appropriate. I have CCed this to exim-users list.
Thank you.


I have installed Oracle 9i on FreeBSD (5.1-REL) successfully. The aim
was to kill two birds with the same stone, but unfortunately it looks
like I didn't aim well enough to get the two birds:

Bird 1: Compile Exim MTA with Oracle Support
Bird 2: Learn a few things about Oracle.

Now I got to a point where I am compiling Exim with support for Oracle (
besides MySQL and Perl) and this is where problems have sprung up.
When I build Exim, I get this warning:


/usr/bin/ld: warning: libc.so.6, needed by
/shared/oracle9/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/lib/libclntsh.so, may
conflict with libc.so.5

Now from what I can see, libc.so.6 comes from the linux-devtools while
libc.so.5 is native to FreeBSD.
I compiled, but there really seems to be a problem which I "think" is a
result of the warning above: I get so much garbage outputted when I run
even a simple test like `exim -bV`. In trying to isolate the problem,
I did separate build while switching on options one by one. I discovered
the following  

(a) Exim+MySQL+Perl = OK.
(b) Exim+Oracle+Perl= NOT OK.
(c) Exim+Oracle+MySQL   = NOT OK.

Not okay means I see the outputted garbage! I'm not an expert but I am
naively attributing this to the libc conflicts;)


My questions:

1. Is there any way to do this cleanly to avoid anything that
   may be consequent upon the warning about libc conflicts?
2. Has anyone succeeded with a similar setup.


Thank you for any pointers.
