Hello,
I've been using FreeBSD on a PII 233 64M RAM. I started with
2.2.5 and have cvsup'd all along to 2.2.8-stable. This is a
production machine, and I've never had any problems. I've even ran
some pretty strange hardware in this machine, and still no problems.
So one of my NT-die-hard friends wants to set up a production web
server to be co-located. I talk him into trying FBSD 2.2.8 because it
is so much better. He buys the 4-disc set plus book from WC and
installs. A couple of glitches during install, but no real hangups.
We get it installed and everything seems to work ok except when doing
an 'su', it signal 11's. We try a few things... Swap memory, etc...
Nothing seems to work. So, being that he is well funded, he buys a
whole new box. A PII 350, 256M RAM, 9G SCSI Fujitsu, 2940UW adaptec,
Intel ether express pro+ 10/100. Not sure what video card. And he
still gets a signal 11 when doing an 'su'. Nothing else that we've
tried gives us a signal 11, not even a 'make buildworld'.
Has anyone seen this? What else should we try? I'm having a
real hard time keeping him enthused about FBSD. I have to keep
sending him little bits of news that I find that relates to how much
better FBSD is than NT (hehe).
