I am running FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE (last rebuilt on 990605-ish) and I have a number of problems: a) Time is slow. In 90 seconds of real time, the clock advances about 1 second. This causes a number of problems with scripts, cron, etc, and is very annoying. b) I cannot reboot. When I halt or reboot, does the usual halted by nim, syslog exited on signal 15, then hangs (although, I have only tested it for 3 min, so it may be related to problem a). It does not get to the point of unmounting drives, as next time I start up, it fscks. This is very bad, as I will be away and installed FreeBSD over Linux as I hoped it would be more "fire-and-forget"-able. Not being able to remotly reboot is very very annoying (of course, with luck, I won't need to, but still...) And now, all the relevent info. Running on an AMD K5-75, SCSI card (using the isp driver, and working great), 10/100 ether with the Tulip (de) driver, 32 MB RAM, etc. One point is that I installed and compiled it on a diff computer (Cyrix P200 (150 MHz)), but I recompiled the kernel (not the world) on the AMD. A dmesg that seems to relate to (a): Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz Timecounter "TSC" frequency 74704326 Hz CPU AMD K5 model 0 (74.70-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x500 Stepping=0 Features=0x3bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,APIC> Is there some way to adjust the Timecounter? How do I find out what it should be (I do have the motherboard manual around, somewhere, but I'd prefer not to have to look for it) An unrelated question: I am pretty short on space on /usr, and I still have all the aout compatibity stuff there (I upgraded from 3.1-Release). Do I need it? Should I keep it? How do I get rid of it (cleanly) if no to the previous 2? Thanks in advance for your help. -- Nick Martin, nim@nimlabs.org, http://www.nimlabs.org The only thing that should be seperated by color is laundry -Alexis Walters To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
