Mesa segfaults

Hi! I'm having problems with Mesa 3.2. Some OpenGL programs don't work at all (they quit with a segmentation fault on initialization), some other programs work a short time and then crash the same way. I installed 4.0-Release some days ago (I had 4.0-Current before that), but that didn't solve th

Check for ports updates

Hi! Is there already a tool that checks the installed ports for available updates in /usr/ports? I've written such a tool, which seems to work fine already. Anyone interested? Ciao, Thomas Schürger. http://www.menden.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe fre

AWE64 problems

Hi! I am still having problems getting my AWE64 soundcard to work with the newpcm driver (the "old" pcm driver worked fine). I have updated the world last week and am using the kernel as of today. I'm using the "pcm0" and "sbc0" devices in my kernel options. My card is recognized correctly, but n

Socket problems

Hi! I´m running an FTP server on my FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT system using BeroFTPD. If I allow many users to connect simultaneously, after some hours I get error messages like "ping: socket buffer overflow" or "no sockets available". Anything requiring sockets cannot be used then. Netscape tells me th

Problems with Linux emulation

Hi! I´ve updated to the latest 4.0-CURRENT on Monday and discovered today, that my Linux emulation is broken. The emulation is loaded as a kernel module alright, but when I start anything really using the emulation (e.g. acroread4) my system hangs completely and requires a reboot. I deinstalled

PNP problems

Hi! I built and installed a new world today. My last make world was some months ago. It seems that the boot loader has changed. Now, my AWE64 soundcard is not detected anymore. My kernel.config looks like this pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5 pnp 1 2 o

IDE_DELAY

Hi! I've set the option IDE_DELAY=1500 and compiled and installed my kernel (I even did config -r before that), but when booting, the IDE driver still waits for about half a minute before continuing, instead for about 1.5 seconds. Has anyone succeeded in setting the IDE delay? SCSI_DELAY work

Still kernel compilation failures

Hi! I updated the source tree, built and installed the world today and tried to make a new kernel. Compilation stops when it comes to linking: ... cc -c -x assembler-with-cpp -DLOCORE -pipe -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winli

ata delay

Hi! I switched to the ata IDE driver some time ago. Since then, booting stops for about 30 seconds when the driver is installed. It didn't happen when using the old wd driver. I'm using controller ata0 device atadisk0# ATA disk drives in my kernel. >From dmesg: ... isab

i/o problems gone

Hi! Some time ago I reported I/O problems in FreeBSD when having time-consuming processes (like seti@home or rc5des) in the background. I had experienced these problems since I installed freebsd 9 months ago (I made world frequently in between). After making and installing a new world some days

FreeBSD won't boot

Hi! I have Win95 and FreeBSD 4.0-Current on my system. Today I had to reinstall Win95, which overwrites the master boot record. After that I used fdisk to switch to FreeBSD and used /stand/sysinstall to install the FreeBSD selector boot record (I set the FreeBSD and the Win95 partition to bootabl

cvsup

Hi! Is there any way to make cvsup update its GUI properly? The window is almost dead when cvsup is performing updates, e.g. cvsup will update the window's contents very infrequently, which is rather anoying. Perhaps it would be a good idea to put GUI handling into a separate thread. Ciao, Thoma

nfs problems

Hi! I'm experiencing serious NFS problems, when a remote NFS directory (also on FreeBSD) mounted on my machine goes down for whatever reason (e.g. normal shutdown). From then on, any processes accessing the mounted NFS directory (e.g. executing ls or even df) will die and stay non-removable (kill

SMP

Hi! Will an SMP Kernel of 4.0-Current for two processors also run on one processor? I'd like to check whether the SMP-kernel runs stable on my Asus P2B-DS with two processors, but I'd like to be able to switch back to the non-SMP kernel afterwards. Ciao, Thomas. To Unsubscribe: send mail to

gcc28

Hi! I was wondering why 4.0-Current still uses gcc 2.7.x instead of gcc 2.8.1, which is available in the ports. gcc 2.8.x supports 586/686 optimization and much more, whereas 2.7.x will compile for 486 processors. Are there any compatibility problems involved when replacing 2.7.x by 2.8.x? If not,
