Forwarding between ed0 and sl0 works normally. There are another symptoms. Ping shows only one response then gets frozen. Ping to hosts on ed1 returns negative respond time. Reboot gets frozen as well, all I can do, is to type sync and then use hard reset. The routing table seems not to be affected. Has anybody an idea, what happens in this case ? Perhaps more memory would change this behaviour. May be bad things on our ethernet play role as well.

Would somebody explain to me how to overcome all this problems I am having with installation of the BSD 2.0. My hardware is: HD 2100 cylinders 16 heads 63 sectors max capacity 1034 MB Dos needs LBA mapping ON to be able to overcome 1023 cylinders limit. If I turn the LBA mapping OFF in CMOS setup DOS and NT 3.5 will only recognize HD as 504 MB size. UNIX will work with full 1034 MB size. Right now I am running two operating systems: DOS / UNIX. NT will not acknowledge the rest of unformeted partition 400 MB. On the top of this I have IDE CDROM which will not work with BSD 2.0 so I can't download files from CDROM. In the same tone I can't mount dos partition under UNIX. I tried mounting through the menu driven installation utility and it didn't work and I tried by command line (mount msdos -t /dev/wd0e /dos) and system would report that directory doesn't exist. One more thing, for some reason, Unix will recognize the dos as the system installed on the HD and it will dedicate E partition to it instead of H: I have 3com (3c509) adapter for the net conectivity. Does 3com have drivers for the bsd 2.0. I tied running ftp and it seems that computer would not connect to the host machine.

I have both a GUS and a PAS16 in my machine. I have compiled in support in my kernel like this: device snd4 at isa? port 0x240 irq 15 drq 6 vector gusintr device snd3 at isa? port 0x388 irq 10 drq 7 vector pasintr device snd2 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr All three devices get recognized at boot time. I am not sure, however, how to differentiate between tvarious devices MAKEDEV has created for them - that is, how do I know which audio, audio or audio1 is my PAS or my GUS? Also, there is a dsp, dsp1, and a dsp16. Finally there is a midi, a mixer and a mixer1. Experimenting a bit shows that the only devices I can get to work are dsp1 and audio - everything else results in strange screechy noises from the speakers (very GUS-like screeches, when it plays back random data in its memory). In any case, any idea on how to get things working? I remember a conversation a while back about incorrect init of the GUS with these drivers - is that the situation here? Thanks all... Second question - I have found that with the following device in my kernel: device lpt0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq7 vector lptintr I can only print in polled mode - if I switch to interrupt driven mode (lptcontrol -i) the printer takes hours to print even one small line. Polled mode, however seems to work OK. Then I noticed a conversation in which someone stated that we sould not be using irqs for printing at all. So what should I do - what is the "correct" way to set up my printer?

Big mistake. Actually, it wasn't that bad, but I have hit an insurmountable (for me, anyways) wall. When it comes time to load the "raw" gcl, add the base package, and write it out as the "saved" gcl via unexec(), the binary is not being written out properly. I know nothing about linking or making binaries, so I have two questions: 1) What is the easiest thing to do? My idea of the "easiest" solution is to compile the "raw" gcl as a statically linked OMAGIC or ZMAGIC binary (I don't *think* the code is self-modifying, so maybe ZMAGIC). That way, the trick would be to dump text, dump data, and dump bss. 2) What is the right thing to do? Basically, I don't have an understanding of the load/map-in process. Does the kernel just throw the binary into virtual memory and JMP? What happens to the exec header? Is it lost? If not, could I write a library function unexec() which could be used for ever and ever, maintained by whomever maintains the exec format du jour? Basically, I want to do the easiest now, and shoulder the responsibility of doing the best later. (Spoken like a true procrastinator). One other thing: I went to a fly tying class tonight. For those of you that don't know, it is a *great* place to meet women! :) Marc. -- DeForrest Gump - "Dammit, Jim! Life is like a box of chocolates!"

No response was received, so I'm ) resending it assuming it was lost in the mail. I've made some more ) installation attempts and learned a few things since 5 Jan, so I've ) modified this note a bit from the 5 Jan note. Thanks for all the information you gave me in response to my first note on Tuesday. That was a great help, and I was able to finish the initial installation! Now I have a few more questions and one piece of information for you. First, I'll give my machine description again as background. My machine is a 486DX2/66 with 16MB, a 1.44MB diskette drive, and 2 hard disks, a WD 2340 and a WD 2540. It is a clone that IBM manufactures for resale by another company. It has an AT bus, an SVGA display (CTX), and a CD drive that appears to me to be generic (if there is such a thing). The CD drive has its own card, that is it's not SCSI and it's not plugged into my Sound Blaster 16 card. Hard disk 0 (325MB) has 2 partitions, a DOS primary of 200MB with IBM DOS 6.1 and a DOS extended partition of 124MB with OS/2 WARP. DOS is on drive C: and OS/2 is on drive D:. There's also a 1MB thing (partition?) that has the OS/2 boot manager that allows me to select DOS or OS/2. Hard disk 1 (516MB) also has 2 partitions, the first of which is a DOS extended partition of 153MB which is drive letter E:. The 2 partitions on disk 0 and this first one on disk 1 were made with the DOS FDISK. The second partition on disk 1 is a FreeBSD slice made with the FreeBSD Fdisk. The FreeBSD slice has 350MB which brings it up to the 1024 cylinder limit. The remaining 12MB are unused as I believe they must be. - Is it true that if I were to devote an entire hard disk to FreeBSD (i.e., no DOS partition) then I could use all of its space, beyond the 1023 cylinder (?) limit? I have an opportunity to get a 1.2 gig or so disk in which case I would remove my smaller disk, move DOS and OS/2 to the 540MB and put FreeBSD on the 1.2 gig, but I only want to do this if I can use the whole disk. > You can copy the bindist directory to your C: drive (copy it whole, > directory and all contents) and select `DOS' installation when asked. > This will work fine, as long as you're using your C drive. This worked great. I did it by making the DOS partition on my second disk a primary, temporarily. I installed bindist, manpages, games, and tools successfully this way. However, X would not install. On the others, I got a prompt asking for the device. I gave it wd1h and it worked. But, for X, no prompt ever came. It just said "Unable to cd to /mnt/XFree86-3.1 directory" and went back to the "what do you want to install" screen. I'm going to try it again tonight with a fresh copy of the X directory. ((I did and it failed again.)) - From this general description, do you know why bindist, manpages, etc. would install but X would not? That is, is there something special or different about the X installation? - How do I install X? - To try the install of X again, I would login under my user id (?), su to root (?), and run /sbin/sysinstall? ((I tried this and it seemed to me that the only option given was to start all over again. Is this true?)) When I partitioned the FreeBSD slice with Disklabel, I specified partitions for "/", swap, "/usr", and "/usr/users". I made their sizes 20MB, 40MB, 200MB, and 90MB, respectively. I thought that the installation instructions said that the "/usr/users" was for the users' files. On the unix system I'm familiar with, it would be "/home", but I knew there would be differences and I thought this was one of them. However, after installation, I see that there is a "/home" so I think I misunderstood the instructions. - On FreeBSD, are the users' home directories put under "/home"? To make a 90MB partition for the users' files should I have make a "/home" partition with Disklabel instead of a "/usr/users"? What's the "/usr/users"? After I had installed everything I could and exited the "what do you want to install" screen, I was given the opportunity to create a user. I opted to do so, specified a user name of "lets" and was asked what group to use. Now I only have unix experience on one system and on that system the group of choice is "system" which gives the user privileges just below root. So I specified "system" for the group for "lets". This turned out to be a bad choice. Then install asked me what to use for a default shell. Again, I'm only familiar with one shell, the Korn shell, so I said "/bin/ksh". Install said it didn't have that one and would default "lets" to "/bin/sh". This turned out to be not true, I think. The shell that "lets" got was not "/bin/sh" but rather "/bin/csh". There seem to be only two shells on FreeBSD, csh and sh. When I executed "/bin/sh", I got the familiar "$" prompt. However "/bin/sh" doesn't seem to be the Bourne shell (which "/bin/sh" is on the system I use at work). Thinking back, I believe I read it's something called POSIX shell. - Is it true that install will say it's giving "/bin/sh" but actually gives "/bin/ksh"? - Are csh and sh the only shells available? - Is sh the POSIX shell? What's the POSIX shell? A colleague tells me that the Korn shell is a superset of the Bourne shell and that the POSIX shell is also a superset of Bourne and has some, but not all, of Korn. He also says that the Born Again shell is a superset of Korn and POSIX.

If so, can you tell me more about this change? What does "bump the starting location forward by secs/track number of blocks" mean? Is this documented somewhere?

What I meant was that unix names the disks "0" and "1", FreeBSD on my system calls them "wd0" and "wd1", FreeBSD Fdisk and Disklabel refer to them as "0" and "1", in other words, everything I've come across so far uses zero origin numbering except the FreeBSD boot manager which calls them "disk 1" and "disk 2". Shouldn't BM be consistent and call them "disk 0" and "disk 1"? > > I'd also like to ask a few things about the boot manager. > > > > - Did I do any damage when I accidently did a Write MBR in FreeBSD Fdisk on > > disk 0?

On my second and successful attempt at installation I did the Write MBR incrementally to see if I could answer this question. What I found is that I did, in fact, need to do a Write MBR in FreeBSD Fdisk on both disks explicitly. When I did a Write MBR on the 2nd disk and not the 1st, the machine boot did not see the FreeBSD boot manager - it went into the OS/2 boot manager. > > My guess on this is that there is a boot record (my term) at the beginning > > of (one or each) disk that sends the boot to code in a disk partition and > > that the FreeBSD boot manager is in the FreeBSD slice.

I read all I could find in mosaic, read the questions and announce news groups, and all the files the installation presented to me. Is this Tutorial in one of the directories on the installation CD? Thank you again for taking the time to read and answer these questions. Despite the obstacles, I'm already having fun running unix commands in the limited environment I have so far. And I'm really looking forward to getting X up and connecting with the outside world.

Most Diamond cards are not supported by Xfree86; you will have to check the XFree86 release notes to find out for sure. This is an XFree86 issue, not a *BSD issue. There are some patches (which are disclaimed, since if Diamond changed their PALs, they could cook your monitor/card) on sunsite.unc.edu, which you could apply to XFree86 to add the support yourself, if your Diamond card is not supported.

The program text begins with the second page, and data and BSS are immediately after that. The break area comes next, followed by the (grow-down) user stack, program arguments, and some per-process user data structures.

You can devote the entire disk to FreeBSD or you can run it untranslated and simply make sure that DOS & OS/2 live below cylinder 1024 and that FreeBSD's partition *starts* well below 1024. Once FreeBSD is up, it can access all cylinders. The way I usually do it is something like this: Assuming that you've got, say, a 2.1GB disk with 3047 cyls. The allocation map might look like this: DOS: cyl 1-500 OS/2: cyl 501-1000 BSD: cyl 1001-3047 Both DOS and OS/2 are happy since they've got direct access to their partitions with nothing exceeding cyl 1024, and FreeBSD starts enough below 1024 that it's able to use the BIOS to get the kernel loaded in and then can use its own less limited device driver to talk to the entire disk. You can also run all of them translated, but with disks this large it's still a bad idea - FreeBSD's install does not yet give you the option of changing the paramters to newfs, and it gets upset when installing on large cylinder-size partitions (I think it should just pick nice defaults, myself, but...) > This worked great.

It just said "Unable to cd to /mnt/XFree86-3.1 That's because DOS name mangling has changed the names on your disk! :-( You'll have to make a tree of symlinks pointing into the DOS partition using the original names, or soemthing. The XFree86 distribution was never done with DOS 8.3 name mangling in mind (and oversight, and something I've been meaning to talk to the XFree86 project about). You can either do this, or tar up the entire dist onto your DOS partition and then copy it back and unpack it under FreeBSD.

If so, can you tell me more I'm afraid that this is kind of advanced and I don't have time to go into it now, due to the fact that I'm sitting on an X terminal in the USENIX terminal room at the moment. For now, I would simply forget about mounting your extended partition. I wouldn't even know how to give instructions to someone who wasn't already well familiar with this stuff.

I need just a little more if you're willing. Review of my machine environment: I'm putting FreeBSD on my 2nd disk. I have a primary DOS partition of 153MB on this disk and the rest (362MB) devoted to FreeBSD. My CD drive is not supported by FreeBSD, so I copy needed directory trees from the CD to the DOS partition under DOS and do the FreeBSD install from the DOS partition. All the installations have worked except X. > That's because DOS name mangling has changed the names on your disk! :-( > You'll have to make a tree of symlinks pointing into the DOS partition > using the original names, or soemthing. The XFree86 distribution was never > done with DOS 8.3 name mangling in mind (and oversight, and something I've > been meaning to talk to the XFree86 project about). You can either do > this, or tar up the entire dist onto your DOS partition and then copy it > back and unpack it under FreeBSD. Just so it doesn't get squeezed through > the DOS namespace! Whew! I was worried there was no solution to this problem. Now I'm anxious to get home to try installing X again, but I have a couple of questions first. Option 1 - "make a tree of symlinks pointing into the DOS partition" - So I would make a directory structure just like the original XFREE86_ directory on the CD? You say to use the "original names" - of the CD XFREE86_ directory? But they are already DOSified aren't they? Otherwise DOS couldn't read them right? Or there's the translation file (I forget its name) in the root directory on the CD. I believe it specifies that XFREE86_ (in DOS) translates to XFree86-3.1. Are the "original names" that I should use given in translate files? If so do I look thru the full XFREE86_ directory for translate files? - Where do I put this tree? Do I make an entry in "/" of "/XFree86-3.1" pointing to "/dos/XFREE86_"? - What is a "tree of symlinks"? I've used symbolic links a lot, but only on an individual basis. If I make a symlink of "/XFree86-3.1" pointing to "/dos/XFREE86_", it puts the link in "/" I think. But then, if I make a symlink of "/XFree86-3.1/foo" pointing to "/dos/XFREE86_/foo", where is the entry put? Isn't it put in "/dos/XFREE86_"? But, "/dos/XFREE86_" is over in the DOS partition. That doesn't work does it? Option 2 - "tar up the entire dist onto your DOS partition and then copy it back" - How do I tar under DOS? - Will a tar of the entire distribution fit in my 153MB DOS partition? - Can I just tar the XFREE86_ directory and put it in my DOS partition? Option 1 or Option 2 - How do I run the install without starting all over from scratch? The documentation says to run /sbin/sysinstall, but that does a complete reinstall doesn't it? Thanks again for all your help.

I did go from 4Mbs to 8Mbs after the initial install of the system without doing anything with the swap. Could this have somthing to do with the errors?

You do not need to size swap space along with memory. A good guess on the required amount of swap space is the sum of the total virtual space that is active in all processes. Of course, you have less than that, but the small amount of swap space just limits the size of the programs that you can run to the amount of memory plus swap. dyson@root.com From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 17 13:13:08 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id NAA24905 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Jan 1995 13:13:08 -0800 Received: from clem.systemsix.com (clem.systemsix.com [198.99.86.131]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id NAA24894 for ; Tue, 17 Jan 1995 13:12:58 -0800 Received: from clem.systemsix.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by clem.systemsix.com (8.6.5/8.6.5) with ESMTP id OAA25440; Tue, 17 Jan 1995 14:13:27 -0700 Message-Id: <199501172113.OAA25440@clem.systemsix.com> To: "Stanley K.

I believe .so.2.0 was the name for XFree86-2.1 libs, while .so.6.0. is the name used for the X11R6/XFree86-3.1 libs. So the packages are expecting to find the older version of X11, while you have the newer version installed.

Note that we got 2 big servers, server1, and server2, where all the users' home are on server1:/users/ and for some is a symb-link to server2:/users/, and the above ksh problem seems to affect users whose home is physically on servers:/users/.

This stimulates my curiosity. In our case, I guess lockd is waiting for server's side lockd or statd to get back to it, but it is not happenning, this is evidenced by the entries in /etc/sm.bak with the server's name, and according to the man page it is the machine to be notified by statd upon its recovery. My questions are : 1) What are the likely causes for lockd or statd not responding ? (rpcinfo -p server) shows registered nlockmgr and rstatd services. 2) Are things the same under FreeBSD ? And has anyone come across this type of problem, and how to fix it ?

I've tried two printers, a brother M-1709 and an epson LX 800. Both exhibit the same slow printing problems. Specs for the LX 800 should be easy enough to obtain.

However, the same old kernel I built several days ago now keeps complaining 'stray irq 7', which seems to come from Gravis Ultrasound driver. I just wonder : 1) why does this only happen after I replace my CPU ? If this is an IRQ conflict, why doesn't it show when U5S is there ? 2) I am sure there are no other cards using IRQ7. When only a VGA card and an IDE controller are present, the error message still appears. I assume it shoud have something to do with the difference between 486DX2-66 and U5S. However, the old good kernel coming along with 2.0R still works, so I guess I have to rebuild my kernel again. But I just want to know why before I wander in the various configurations. -- Yen-Wei Liu (ywliu@beta.wsl.sinica.edu.tw) From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Jan 17 20:30:08 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id UAA08163 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 17 Jan 1995 20:30:08 -0800 Received: from ddg.com (EUNUCH.DDG.COM [199.183.109.237]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id UAA08151 for ; Tue, 17 Jan 1995 20:30:06 -0800 Received: from [128.83.128.150] by ddg.com with SMTP (MailShare 1.0b8); Tue, 17 Jan 1995 22:29:47 -0600 X-Sender: awd@eunuch.ddg.com Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Tue, 17 Jan 1995 22:29:53 -0600 To: questions@FreeBSD.org, hardware@FreeBSD.org From: awd@ddg.com (Andrew W. Donoho) Subject: ep Driver and the 3c509B-TPO Cc: awd@ddg.com, rkw Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Folks, I was given an old clunker of a 386 box so that I could add DNS service to my mostly Mac network. Not being an x86 expert, I purchased a 3Com ethernet card, 3c509B-TPO (TPO stands for twisted pair only). It was "supported" by FreeBSD 2.0, cheap ($99.00) and made by a reputable company. In any event, the "B" version is apparently "different" from the older 3c509 in three ways. 1. Larger Buffers (4K -> 8K) 2. Auto Media Sensing (It can tell if it is connected to a network). 3. "Plug and Play" capability (This can be disabled in software.) In any event, FreeBSD 2.0 does not function with this card. I think that the problem is probably the autosensing function since the card only activates its 10baseT transceiver during its diagnostic tests. FreeBSD can identify the card but not turn it on. The folks at 3com claim that it is very simple to support the auto sensing function and that it can be done to support both old and new cards with a single driver. Since this is the only 3c509 card that 3com is currently selling, I think it behooves us to support it. Again, I am not a unix expert and only have this one old clunker of a machine. But I'll help if I can... OTOH, 3Com will be happy to replace my "B" card with the earlier version which will work with FreeBSD. Any ideas on how to get this card working with FreeBSD 2.0?

Run sysinstall disklabel and I)mport the "1" slice into the "e" partition of the drive (c and d are listed). Exit to the os and run "newfs -i 1024 /dev/wd1e" . As I said everything works great for a little while then (as if the disk gets to a certian spot) the drive starts reporting all the above errors. The only other odd thing is that when I run newfs (again on the "e" partition, I am not sure if this is the correct thing to do) I receive the following warnings: newfs: /dev/wd1e: not a character-special device Warning: 64 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated <-----odd /dev/wd1c: 1056320 sectors in 1048 cylinders of 16 tracks, 63 sectors 515.8MB in 66 cyl groups (16 c/g, 7.88MB/g, 1920 i/g) I find this interesting as "newfs -N /dev/wd1d" doesn't produce the warning.

It seems now that some bugs may have crept back into the pppd code. I'm able to ping, but if I try to telnet out via the ppp port, the system will reboot itself the majority of the time. The same happens when I'm using Mosaic. I _can_ use all of the TCP/IP related tools over ethernet without difficulty. This isn't quite the same as the problem that occurred with 2.0-RELEASE. Under 2.0R, it used to be pretty sporadic. Now it's pretty consistant. It reboots almost immediately after telnet (or other tool) fires up. Is anybody else seeing this? What can I do to fix it or work around it? Unfortunately, I didn't keep the old 2.0 source around. Can someone mail me a copy of the 2.0 if_ppp.c so I can see if that's the problem?

Run sysinstall disklabel and I)mport the "1" slice into the "e" partition of the drive (c and d are listed). Exit to the os and run "newfs -i 1024 /dev/wd1e" . As I said everything works great for a little while then (as if the disk gets to a certian spot) the drive starts reporting all the above errors. The only other odd thing is that when I run newfs (again on the "e" partition, I am not sure if this is the correct thing to do) I receive the following warnings: newfs: /dev/wd1e: not a character-special device Warning: 64 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated <-----odd /dev/wd1c: 1056320 sectors in 1048 cylinders of 16 tracks, 63 sectors 515.8MB in 66 cyl groups (16 c/g, 7.88MB/g, 1920 i/g) I find this interesting as "newfs -N /dev/wd1d" doesn't produce the warning. Please help as this is really messing me up. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Terry Rossi tpr@pics.com Data: 609/753-2540 Sysop, Pics OnLine BBS telnet: bbs.pics.com 609/767-0216 Voice/Fax WWW: http://www.pics.com From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 18 06:32:03 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id GAA00289 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 18 Jan 1995 06:32:03 -0800 Received: from remote1-line1.cis.yale.edu (remote1-line1.cis.yale.edu [130.132.57.21]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id GAA00283 for ; Wed, 18 Jan 1995 06:32:00 -0800 Received: (from mrami@localhost) by remote1-line1.cis.yale.edu (8.6.9/8.6.9) id JAA10023; Wed, 18 Jan 1995 09:31:47 -0500 Date: Wed, 18 Jan 1995 09:31:46 -0500 (EST) From: Marc Ramirez To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: sigstack manpages Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Could someone with 1.1.5.1 or below please send me the man page for sigstack?

Is this bad, what if anything do I need to do to get round this problem ( since it appears that I should be putting /usr/local on 'e' ) 2. Is it possible to install using NFS as before from the minimum kernal ( I use the machine at src.doc.ic.ac.uk ) 3. I will be setting up another machine to act as a CD-ROM blower for my department. I had decided to do this (under V1.5.1) by having partitons as below 1. 20MB dos partiton for booting & Software 2. 700MB dos partion for files to be blown to the CD using a CD-Writer 3. 300+MB for FreeBSD I would then make (2) above pc-nfs exportable, such that users within the department could mount it using PC-NFS ( all our PC's have this ). Put the files on the disk, and then reboot the machine under dos and blow the files to the CD . Is this in your opinion a good idea ( My main reason for doing it this was is that although I know it is possible to export DOS files systems under linux, I HATE linux, and also happily run FreeBSD and have been doing so for the last year ).

I've installed a new kernel and it seems to be working much better... It seems that there was a discrepancy in my kernel config that _shouldn't_ have mattered: wt0 was configured for 0x360, but the card wasn't. In addition, snd2 was configured for irq 7, but jumpered for irq 10. I had changed the hardware config while the system was down and hadn't gotten around to rolling a new kernel. It's been up for about fifteen minutes now, which is about three times longer than it's lasted before. I think I'll pull down the 2.0-SNAP again (for testing purposes) and get some #$%!@ sleep. :) Brant (who's not sure he remembers HOW to sleep...)

I did some additional experimentation with it this morning. Here's what I did: * Started pppd. So far so good. * Pinged a "near" host (just on the other side of the link) * Pinged a couple of "far" hosts. * Telnetted to a near host. Read news, logged out. * Tried to ftp to ftp.freebsd.org. Rebooted before I got connected. * After reboot, started pppd again. * Repeated the ping tests, all seemed OK. * FTP'd to a couple of hosts, on the fourth or fifth one, reboot. * After reboot, started pppd. * Pinged a couple of hosts. * Tried ftp using IP address instead of hostname. * While typing the command to ftp to the second host, the system rebooted. This is the first time that it rebooted while I was typing. I don't know if that is relavent or not. I'm pretty sure that it's in the ppp code, because I only run ppp a few hours a day, and it only reboots while pppd is running. I have GOT to get this fixed. I'd hate to back out to 2.0-RELEASE, but I'll do so if necessary. This machine is going to be put into production mode in less than four weeks. Could there possibly be something in my kernel config that's to blame?

I am not sure but it seems like GCC bug in handling quad (long long) types.... Here is the programm.What it tries to do is - to read some buffer from arbitrary file,then lseek back and re-read same place again.Actually i ran into the problemm when really working on very same code. Now look into text and try compiling it,you will see very interesting behaviour. If you'll take a look at assembly code you'll see that -sizeof() replaced in quad_t as 0 and then -size(-5 in this example). on the other hand - is turned into -1 - (-1 -5 here). The cast to (int) makes same result and works.The cast to off_t type which is right does not works. Now: lseek returns same value in all cases-both in those where read fails and works. So probably two things here: bug or at least inconsistency in GCC which makes worng conversions + some strange bug in lseek/read calls which i personally can't still figure out.. or may be i am too dumb????? -------------------------CUT HERE(and look in code)----------------------- #include #include main() { int f; char buf[5],buf1[5]; f=open("/bin/ls",O_RDONLY); /* any file actually we don't care */ printf("seek %u\n",lseek(f,100,SEEK_SET)); /* move into the middle somewhere.Actually bug shows without this string */ if (read(f,buf,5)<=0) { printf("First read failed\n"); exit(1); } printf("%d\n",-sizeof(buf)); /* just to show you size of this buffer */ #error ------------ Here choose *ONE* from following 4 strings------- printf("seek %u\n",lseek(f,-sizeof(buf),SEEK_CUR)); /* No cast - does not works */ printf("seek %u\n",lseek(f,(off_t)-sizeof(buf),SEEK_CUR)); /*right cast-does not works */ printf("seek %u\n",lseek(f,(int)-sizeof(buf),SEEK_CUR)); /*wrong cast-works OK*/ printf("seek %u\n",lseek(f,-5,SEEK_CUR)); /* number only-works OK*/ if (read(f,buf1,5)<=0) { printf("Second read failed\n"); /* This one will fail BUT!!!

I'm installing FreeBSD to a 2nd drive (Use All option - No DOS partition) and followed the TroubleShooting notes on this subject to a tee (I think) including writing the MBR (B)ootcode to the 1st drive. All seems to work as expected until I reboot from hard disk. Devices seem to be found, but when I get to the mounts, I get a 'panic: can't mount root' message and auto-reboot. Do I need to make any manual changes to 'fstab' with this configuration?? If so, can you make a suggestion on how (from the boot floppy)? Or should I try putting bootcode on 2nd drive, then reversing IDE master/slave jumpers so that BSD drive is temporarily the primary?? Any other possbile causes? Maybe an incorrect disklabel?? a (Starts at 0, Ends at 32MB-1) 32MB / b 32MB-96MB 64MB swap c d e the rest 420MB /usr f unused Thank you for your help. I hope that I can return the favor with some code contributions some day (perhaps in the Enhanced IDE area??).

If the Always card is not recognized, it's kind of hopeless to expect that the devices connected to it will be recognized.

The config program you suggested will not allow me to >change that setting. I have just gotten off of the phone with 3com tech support (impressive support for a $99.00 board). We jointly discovered a way to get around their limitations for the Autosensing. You do it by saving your current settings to a .set file and then edit with a text editor. When you reload it, it doesn't bother to "validity check" the input. If there is interest, I would be happy to provide my settings file to the net. Once this has been done, the card is identified and apparently turned on... The install floppy kernel then crashes with a "Fatal Trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode" fault virtual address = 0x6d6d6d6d fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf010bb91 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) interrupt mask = net tty panic: page fault So when I reset the autosensing function, the kernel no longer crashes but I'm back to the system booting but not using the card. The initial boot does not find it but allows you to specify it when it gets to the network install phase. So, I now think that we have a problem with the fact that the 3c509b card has twice the buffer space of the previous edition (4K -> 8K). Anybody else seeing these problems???

In the docs, it mentions using the command "dmesg" to recall the initial boot device-sensing. However, I noticed that in the initial boot-to-installation-menu from floppy, the same sensing occurs --but do I need to go through the fdisk procedure to get a prompt with which to recall this info? I don't see a way to do so from the installation, and think that it would be helpful to me BEFORE reformatting my HD (I have yet to get a new drive, and have only 540MB for DOS/OS2/FreeBSD -- this doesn't seem really practicable) and losing the system which right now does work largely the way I want it to. Oh, the 2.0 docs (FAQ, that is) specify that SCSI controllers on-board SoundBlaster-16 cards are NOT supported. Since I have a nice NEC SCSI CD-ROM drive, I would like to use it -- but wish to be spared the extra 160+ bucks for a new VLB controller right away simply to be able to use it in UNIX (which I want to try as perhaps a more stable, quicker multimedia environment than OS/2 as well as a cool learning experience). Any knowledge of such support in the offing?

Perl5.000 compiles right out of the box. I wonder why it is 4.013 that in the distribution. uucp 1.05 that comes with stock 2.0/2.1-dev still does not work. Are the pathes compiled different from claimed in /etc/uucp? I made it work from the uucp-1.05 package but the binary is 10 times bigger. Do I have to do something to compile a shared version?

I wonder why it > is 4.013 that in the distribution. It's not, it's a bug in the Makefile/configuration script that causes the number to be .013 instead of the the most recent release of 4.0. The reason Perl5 isn't in the release is because it was 'beta' software when the release was being put together. Also, it has been my experience that it is a best to wait for a couple patches to be released before using a new product since there are always bugs that need to be shaken out in the initial distribution. I'll let someone else comment on uucp.

I'm starting an upgrade of my home system to 2.0-950112-SNAP right now. I'll report on its relative stability with PPP tomorrow if all goes well. If all appears fine, I'll then upgrade our little gateway at work, which gateways between a pretty heavy PPP load + ethernet + 4 SLIP connections (and crashes twice daily with 2.0-RELEASE). I'll keep the list posted throughout this process if anything significant occurs.

Anybody else >seeing these problems??? As long as the buffer size is concerned, it should not be any problem because the real buffer size is not considered by the ep driver but the one reported by the card trough e.g.: in epstart() => ... if (inw(BASE + EP_W1_FREE_TX) < len ...) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ... and for epread() => you would be able to read more packets (bytes) before finding there is no more to read. Certainly with a bigger Tx/Rx buffer, you will have to experience lesser TxUNDERRUN and RxOVERRUN errors than before and that will increase performance, mainly at high CPU load or with a not too powerful CPU.

It has an Adaptec 1542CF SCSI host adapter and one external 1Gb SCSI HD. Now, I have problems installing FreeBSD on a Mitac 486DX33 PC with EISA bus. It has EISA Adaptec 1740 SCSI host adapter and 2 SCSI hard disks. Under DOS, everything worked fine. I decided to get rid of DOS and install FreeBSD. I deleted all patitions on the disks using fdisk and started installation. When starting the computer, I get a message indicating that both HDs are detected: SCSI ID0 Installed SCSI ID1 Installed however, FreeBSD finds only the adapter but not the disks. I tried both FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE and FreeBSD 2.0-950112SNAP. I also tried to set the adapter to both standard and enhanced mode (in standard mode it's detected as 1540.) I borrowed an Adaptec 1540 (ISA) from my friend, and the disks were detected by FreeBSD. Is that the problem with that particular 1740 adapter or EISA adapters in general or I do something wrong?

It claims to be 16058 bytes in size, I get 15872 bytes onto my machine each time it hangs. I am using freeBSD-1.1.5.1 for the manual transfers.

I've applied the patch to if_ppp.c, otherwise it is "out of the box". Here's the problem: I connect them using ppp, the connection is initiated from dogs. Everything looks fine. I ping holiday from dogs. This will run from 5 - 20 minutes then holiday becomes unresponsive. It doesn't drop the connection, it just hangs. Logging into holiday (via a different route) I find that the pppd is running, it has logged many FCS errors and a few queue full errors. If I run top, pppd is consuming somewhere between 85% - 112% (!!) of the cpu, apparently in a pretty tight loop. Only -KILL will stop it. This behaviour occurs each time I connect. I haven't tried connecting/pinging the other direction. I've recompiled pppd with debugging enabled so maybe I can find out what it's doing. Any ideas as to what's happening? Any thoughts will be apprecitated. Some specifics: Dogs is a vanilla system, 486/33Mhz, 16M, IDE drives, standalone. Holiday is 486/66MZ, 32M, EISA bus, with Ultrastore 24f controller, 32bit EtherLink III ethernet adapter. The ppp connection is via a pair of Intel 14.4 modems running at 9600bps with compression and error detection. Thanks, Dayton Clark CIS Dept.

I have been having problems witha recently acquired scsi-1 disk. When I put it under heavy load, e.g. copying /usr/src/ onto it, it will eventually cause the kernel to panic with a message about the adapter not responding.

How difficult can this kind of feature be implemented on Unix ? I meant, you may need to allower user to be able to read/open some libraries but not giving them the right to copy/steal a copy of it, and you probably don't want to write wrapper around whatever compiler, loader you have to change uid to open some particular files for read (ie to disable user from read but still need to have them use it, strange idea ? Not!). I guess the tricky part of this feature is that one can easily cat the file to a different name and hence bypass the copy-disabled feature to achieve the act.

The machine is a 486SLC2-66 (not a word... it wasn't MY idea :) with 8MB of RAM, Adaptec 1542B, Metheus S3-924 video, and an HP 630MB SCSI disk. I've stripped everything else out of it to try and isolate the problem. I created a set of 1.2MB disks, booted the system and went through the fdisk and disklabel. sysinstall newfs'd the disk, (16MB root, 64MB swap, 16MB /var, 64MB /usr and the rest as /VOL1), installed the kernel and /stand, and then instructed me to pull the floppy and reboot. BTW, I used 633cyl 32sct 64hd translation, the same as every other machine that I've installed FreeBSD on (with SCSI controllers, that is). Rebooting the kernel on sd(1,a)/kernel results in the following: [...] ze0 not found at 0x300 npx0 at 0xf0-0xff irq 13 on motherboard changing root device to sd0a Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x0 fault code = supervisor read, page not present code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, df32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 () interrupt mask = panic: page fault hit reset please This happens every time, and I've reinstalled the boot disk several times. I don't think it's an incompatibility with the SLC chip, as it boots great off of floppy. This same machine has been running Linux without problems. [ mildly ironic related story follows. no more factual data ] This is actually quite humorous in a way. At work we're upgrading our mail/news server. It's a Sequent S3 running an ancient version of DYNIX. Porting apps to this beast is a major pain, so we have opted to upgrade the OS to one of the various free i386 UNIX workalikes. The guy that's in charge of this machine is a Linux fan, and I prefer xBSD. I was able to convince him that FreeBSD would be a better choice, because I've already got all the apps we need ported, and the FreeBSD environment is similar to the ucb mode of DYNIX (for those not familiar with DYNIX, it has both AT&T and UCB environments). So, since we've got to do the upgrade in a period of a few hours, I opted to load the OS on this box to configure it and get it ready. Once it's up and running, we'll migrate the news/mail spool and user directories and move the disks back into thier permanent home. Unfortunately, this is the best machine that I could scrounge to do the install on. The company I work for (which is NOT where I'm writing from, incidentally) is too cheap to buy real hardware. So now, after nuking a working Linux off this machine, I can't get FreeBSD loaded. I'll never hear the end of it from my Linux-loving co-worker if I can't get this working... Please, save me from the embarrasment!

CMOS reports 640k of base memory, 15MB of extended, and 20MB of extra RAM (in total 36MB). The Microsoft Diagnostics (msd) under DOS detects only 15 MB (I think 1MB is relocated via BIOS). Windows NT installations detects all 35 MB. FreeBSD only sees 15 MB. I believe I've read somewhere that the amount of handled RAM depends on which disk controller I use (ISA, or Local Bus). In case of ISA, it is impossible to address more than 16MB because of DMA limitations. However, in the FAQ for 2.0 I read: 1.5: I have 32MB of memory, should I expect any special problems? No. FreeBSD 2.0 comes with bounce buffers which allows your bus mastering controller access to greater than 16MB. So, I have 3 questions: 1. Please someone explain what is *extra* RAM means. Is that expanded memory or somethinfg else? 2. Right now, I temporarily use AHA 1542CF SCSI host adapter (ISA) but I still have a hope to be able to use my EISA AHA 1740. Does it matter? 3. Anyway, how to make FreeBSD to see this extra memory? Thanks in advance. __________________________________________________________ Serge Plyaskin, CMP Publications splyaski@cmp.com From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 20 07:31:51 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id HAA12214 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Jan 1995 07:31:51 -0800 Received: from late5.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de (late5.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de [131.188.254.132]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id HAA12206 for ; Fri, 20 Jan 1995 07:31:38 -0800 Received: (from eilts@localhost) by late5.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de (8.6.8.1/8.6.6) id QAA23951; Fri, 20 Jan 1995 16:26:27 +0100 From: Hinrich Eilts Message-Id: <199501201526.QAA23951@late5.e-technik.uni-erlangen.de> Subject: Re: INSTALL To: ROSSILEON@unisi.it Date: Fri, 20 Jan 1995 16:26:26 +0100 (MEZ) Cc: QUESTIONS@FreeBSD.org In-Reply-To: <01HM2HPUQKF6IIR2GP@cnuce.cnr.it> from "ROSSILEON@unisi.it" at Jan 20, 95 12:08:00 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Length: 734 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > I have a 420 MB Hard Disk on my PC and 210 are partitioned for MS-DOS. > > I would install FreeBSD for development and I have no network card and no > Internet services, what size do you suggest for the system directories > (/, /usr, etc.). > > Remember there will be at least 2 users, one at the main console and an other > connected via serial port. > I suggest two partititions: / and swap.

If yes, how? Change the code to: 1) Load all the pieces you need to do the job into core. 2) Wait until all outstanding SCSI activity is complete, blocking additional activity. 3) Reset the bus (and controller, if Adaptec) to reprobe the devices. 4) Resume SCSI acivity. There hasn't been a user space "reprobe" command written yet to take advantage of the code (that also hasn't been written yet) that does this for you.

On files, apart from trustee permissions, there are 32 bits of attribute information maintained by NetWare. This include read-only, copy inhibit, system, hidden, migrated, search permission, file vs. dir, etc. The copy inhibit works by denying the atomic copy operation. In UNIX and similar systems, there is no system call for copy -- that is, it's not an atomic operation. To make this work on your system, you would need to: 1) Add a "copy" system call at the vncalls layer. 2) Change your copy program to use it instead of reading then writing. 3) Steal a bit that you are guaranteed is initialized to 0 (so you don't get random behaviour when installing on an existing file system) and call it "copy inhibit". This must be part of the on-disk inode information for each file/directory. 4) Fail the copy when the bit is set. 5) Modify each fs that will support this to add either a vncall to all file systems for attribute information (and a null function to FS's not supporting it) OR add an ioctl entry point for the FS for setting the attribute given a vnode. This second approach is easiest, but ioctl's are, by default, refused with an ENOTTY except on the specfs (used to implement special devices in other file systems). 6) Probably steal a bit in the in core superblock for the FS that gets initted at mount time so given a vnode pointer, you can get the superblock pointer, and determine if the FS supports the capability or not OR you could make another ioctl call that is called on the vnode prior to each copy attempt, where an ENOTTY means that the FS doesn't support copy inhibit, 0 means OK and EPERM means denied. None of this will prevent either a user program or 'cat' doing it's thing and copying the file anyway. This kind of hackery is annoying at best, and a comment on the idea of inodes as fixed attribute blocks on the disk at worst. The whole idea of file systems needs to be reexamined.

I've downloaded boot_144.flp and cpio.flp from the SNAP950112 directory and the 2.0-release directory from your ftp site. I used rawrite to copy the images onto 3.5" floppies. CPIO.FLP transfers to the floppies just fine, however, boot_144.flp always gives me an error (Controller has failedector: 1) after the 80th track. I noticed that the size of the boot_144.flp file was 1480Kb, so I thought that there was a size descrepancy. So, I used the boot_12.flp file. It transfered to the 3.5" floppy, using rawrite, with no problem. However, whenever I restart the machine with the boot disk in the a: drive, the computer reades the drive and then just hangs. There is a flashing underscore in the upper left-hand corner, but nothing else. Do you have any suggestions?

This does not happen when I have users running /bin/csh. - Jim Pirzyk --- __o [Jim] pirzyk@fa.disney.com -------------------------------------- _'\<,_ System Administrator, Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida (*)/ (*) From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 20 14:33:52 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id OAA22223 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Jan 1995 14:33:52 -0800 Received: from gilbertr.npt.nuwc.navy.mil (GILBERTR.NPT.NUWC.NAVY.MIL [129.190.75.33]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with ESMTP id OAA22217 for ; Fri, 20 Jan 1995 14:33:51 -0800 Received: (from root@localhost) by gilbertr.npt.nuwc.navy.mil (8.6.9/8.6.9) id RAA00250 for freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com; Fri, 20 Jan 1995 17:29:46 GMT Date: Fri, 20 Jan 1995 17:29:46 GMT From: Charlie Root Message-Id: <199501201729.RAA00250@gilbertr.npt.nuwc.navy.mil> To: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk subject: remote X-Windows Hi!

X uses the concept of a display, which is both the network name of the machine and a serial number for multiple display on one machine. On my machine n3lxx, the display is n3lxx:0.0. On n3lxx, if I want to open a display on my other machine, Journey2, I just use a command line switch to tell the application the name of the display to start itself on. First, I issue "xhost n3lxx" on Journey2, to tell the X server on Journey2 that I want to give n3lxx permission to use Journey2's local display. Then, to start an application (I'll use xterm, as a simple and common example here) on n3lxx I issue "xterm -display Journey2:0.0", and a new xterm shows up on the Journey2 machine's display. None of this is extra, it's all part of the standard X capabilities. > > Thanks > > Bob Gilbert GILBERTR@WPN.NPT.NUWC.NAVY.MIL > and sometimes root@gilbertr.npt.nuwc.navy.mil > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Jan 20 17:45:14 1995 Return-Path: questions-owner Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) id RAA02476 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 20 Jan 1995 17:45:14 -0800 Received: from cs.weber.edu (cs.weber.edu [137.190.16.16]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.9/8.6.6) with SMTP id RAA02470 for ; Fri, 20 Jan 1995 17:45:12 -0800 Received: by cs.weber.edu (4.1/SMI-4.1.1) id AA14008; Fri, 20 Jan 95 18:39:21 MST From: terry@cs.weber.edu (Terry Lambert) Message-Id: <9501210139.AA14008@cs.weber.edu> Subject: Re: your mail To: root@gilbertr.npt.nuwc.navy.mil (Charlie Root) Date: Fri, 20 Jan 95 18:39:20 MST Cc: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com In-Reply-To: <199501201729.RAA00250@gilbertr.npt.nuwc.navy.mil> from "Charlie Root" at Jan 20, 95 05:29:46 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4dev PL52] Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > subject: remote X-Windows > > Hi! > I have seen eXodus, Xodus, or whatever the name, software which > I believe allows the Apple Computers to launch Xwindows applications > and of course observe them remotely.

The programming interface is quite different from the 3c501 or 3c503. If anyone out there does have a driver that understands this card (even simply using the default Primary Command Block interface), I'd like to get a copy too - I have several of these cards lying around. I have complete programming specs for the card, too, and I'd been thinking of putting together a driver for it myself, but I didn't think anyone else besides me would have any use for it..... The really cool feature of this card is that it has downloadable firmware - you could, for example, implement the entire TCP layer right on the card (it has an 80186 processor on it). Of course, I've never been able to figure out how one would make a BSD-based system be able to take advantage of something like a "smart network interface" of this sort.

It's an information tool with some of the attributes of WWW worm and WAIS, but supposedly much more efficient. My port doesn't run :-( some incompatibility with lseek function (second port I've tried to do where I've had problems with lseek - is there some bug under 2.0R ?)... but the blurb does mention that although they only support SunOS and Solaris and OSF/1 that somebody else is working on a port to FreeBSD and Linux - anybody out there know anything about it - it looks a pretty nifty buch of soft technology ...

I've done everything I can think of, but it still isn't working. I bought a pair of NE2000 clone ethernet cards and I can't get FreeBSD and Trumpet Winsock to talk to each other. They're made by GVC and are 16-bit ISA cards with both T.P. and BNC connectors. I'm using BNC. I know the cards work because the Windows for Workgroups network is working perfectly. I just can't get them to talk using TCP/IP. This is for FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, btw. I'm using the 192.168.250.* address set locally for testing. And my FreeBSD system is also using SLIP to get onto the internet. That part works perfectly. I just can't get my local network working as it should. Also, I don't expect that machines on my local lan will be able to get out over the network. My dialup server only knows about scylla and expects it to be on its subnet. I want scylla to be able to talk on my local net and out over the internet. First, here's a list of addresses: hydra (Dialup SLIP) scylla (FreeBSD) charybdis (Windows) ------------------------------------------------------------------- 192.54.81.8 <-------> 192.54.81.21 192.168.250.21 <-----> 192.168.250.23 And, this is how I configure scylla when I try to start up the network: ifconfig sl0 192.54.81.21 192.54.81.8 slattach -c -s 19200 /dev/cua01 ifconfig ed0 192.168.250.21 up bnc #route add 192.168.250.23 192.168.250.21 route add default 192.54.81.8 -mtu 1500 Charybdis' configuration is a little different, since it's Trumpet Winsock. But here are the particulars: IP Address: 192.168.250.23 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.250.21 Nameserver: 192.168.250.21 Time Server: 192.168.250.21 An 'ifconfig ed0' will reveal: ed0: flags=867 inet 192.168.250.21 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.250.255 'netstat -rn' gives: Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use IfaceMTU Rtt Netmasks: (root node) (0) 0000 ffff ff00 (root node) Route Tree for Protocol Family inet: (root node) => default 192.54.81.8 UG 3 671 sl0 1500 - 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 1 lo0 - - 192.54.81.8 192.54.81.21 UH 1 0 sl0 - - 192.54.81.21 127.0.0.1 UGH 0 0 lo0 - - 192.168.250 192.168.250.21 U 1 14 ed0 - - And 'netstat -in' gives: (root node) Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll ed0 1500 0.0.e8.c5.af.c5 0 0 7 0 0 ed0 1500 192.168.250 192.168.250.21 0 0 7 0 0 lo0 65535 2049 0 2049 0 0 lo0 65535 127 127.0.0.1 2049 0 2049 0 0 sl0 296 579 0 679 0 0 sl0 296 192.54.81 192.54.81.21 579 0 679 0 0 sl1* 296 0 0 0 0 0 Everyone I've talked to and has looked at this has said that it looks right.

I've tried the ed and ep drivers, with just about every combination of irq/port/iomem I can think of, but cannot get these cards to be seen by the operating system on boot-up. Are they even supported? I know the NE2000 is, but what about the 2100's? Am I just doing something wrong? FYI: Using 950112-SNAP of the OS. -- / /| \ O For all you ORIGIN needs, | \`o.O' | Ack!
