I have described this phenomenon previously: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=11224+0+archive/2002/freebsd-qa/20020127.freebsd-qa It is caused by problems during installation with files that have names longer than 100 characters. In the 4.6 RC2 ports collection there are 17 such files. In a recently cvsupped port tree there are 22. Maybe there is still some time for repair.

And indeed, both config options produce error messages and make sysinstall fail over and over, just like you found, and as far as I know, this has nothing to do with the configuration. I have taken a look in the source code and found that sysinstall assumes that XF86Config is written into /etc, while the graphical and ncurses based programs by default save XF86Config in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and /etc/X11, respectively. As an additional complication, the ncurses based config program assumes that the directory /etc/X11 exists, so you must create it manually, if it is not there (like with a fresh install). You can choose other locations in both config programs, but I tried to change sysinstall to look for XF86Config in the alternative locations (added some code at line 709 in /usr/src/release/sysinstall/config.c), and now my sysinstall continues with the desktop selection after X configuration, as it should. Of course, all this does not help during a fresh install. I share your concern about new users just giving up, and I think sysinstall needs to be updated, and at least somewhat tested before 4.6-RELEASE hits the streets.

This is where a large part of the problem is at. Typically, a user will think (as did I), that accepting a default location is okay. If all of the configuration utilities are forced to write to /etc/XF86Config, sysinstall will work as it is written. > You can choose other locations in both config programs, but I tried to > change sysinstall to look for XF86Config in the alternative locations > (added some code at line 709 in /usr/src/release/sysinstall/config.c), > and now my sysinstall continues with the desktop selection after X > configuration, as it should. Of course, all this does not help during a > fresh install. I also tried a modification to this area and got sysinstall to accept the default location of xf86config (/etc/X11/XF86Config). > I share your concern about new users just giving up, and I think > sysinstall needs to be updated, and at least somewhat tested before > 4.6-RELEASE hits the streets. An alternative might be to add a message to indicate that the configuration file should be written to /etc/XF86config although this might take more space than just having sysinstall check for different locations. I'm not a proficient coder so I'm not one to make this call. I really appreciate your taking the time to look at this and confirm what I was seeing. I had one other private reply in which they seen the same issue. Thanks!

Just to catch up people who aren't on the re list: It's been suggested (by sobomax) that we could make the ports tree tarball using cpio instead of tar. The problem is that when I just tried this, I wound up with a tarball that unpacks perfectly with cpio, but our system tar chokes on it (it messes up long filenames). Apparently "the GNU tar format" and "the POSIX tar format" aren't exactly compatible when it comes to long filenames. Our system tar (which is an old GNU tar) claims to do POSIX tar in its manpage, but this is a lie. :-( GNU tar from ports handles the long filenames just fine (the same way that cpio does). Bruce.

But this seems to come up, oh, about every year or so, and a big impediment to moving forward seems to be divergence of what's in the base system from what was done in the vendor import. That shouldn't a showstopper (look at the recent gcc-3.1 import to -CURRENT), but nobody's done it yet. I'm pretty sure it won't happen for 4.6-RELEASE. :-) Bruce.

I've been using FreeBSD 4-STABLE in an embedded system environment (Soekris net4501) where the system boots and runs a stripped down FreeBSD installation from a Compact Flash card. I had a dhclient-related problem when upgrading to a version with the new dhclient. If the dhclient-script exits abnormally, then the dhclient program again attempts to acquire an address from the DHCP server. In my environment, the root file system is mounted read-only, and the dhclient-script shell script fails when it attempts to update /etc/resolv.conf with the name servers and default domain returned from the DHCP server. The system would pause indefinately during boot repeatedly trying to get an IP address, and then failing to update the read-only /etc/resolv.conf file. It also leaves a route for each address it acquired on the loopback interface which is not removed when the next attempt is made. You can't configure the "update /etc/resolv.conf" behavior, so I had to manually edit the /sbin/dhclient-script to resolve this issue. The older version of /sbin/dhclient ignored the error when trying to update /etc/resolv.conf.

These aren't the bits you're looking for. :-) Bruce.

This is the completely new box, on which the minimal standard 4.5-RELEASE was installed. In a blind attempt to have my sis0 card working, I attempted to upgrade it to 4.6-RC. After the new 4.6-RC kernel was installed, "atacd" started complaining with "MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting" on boot. This is the pristine machine, no /boot/loader.conf settings, etc. This machine also happens to preserve the dmesg buffer between reboots, so what follows is dmesg from 4.5-RELEASE kernel run, and then reboot after the 4.6-RC kernel was installed. Any highlights? Soren, if this is a known issue, just tell me and I will shut up and wait for the better days. $ sysctl hw.ata hw.ata.ata_dma: 1 hw.ata.wc: 1 hw.ata.tags: 0 hw.ata.atapi_dma: 0 Copyright (c) 1992-2002 The FreeBSD Project.
