dmesg empty after shutdown -r


This is very strange.

After "shutdown -r now" and the subsequent reboot, I have
logged in to my machine
 	FreeBSD qemg.org 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 10:35:36 UTC 2008    
root <at> driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Everything seems to be running normally, except "dmesg" produces
no output, and /var/run/dmesg.boot is zero bytes long.

Does anyone have any ideas why this would ever occur?  Or even how
it could occur?

Andrew.

gotcha it work out. but when i resume it to its current configuration
"Obtain DBS server automatically" the problem is back, is this a problem in
my DNS server?

I already restarted the DNS Server "/etc/rc.d/named restart" but nothing
happens the problem is still there..Is there any one here could help

Perl 5.8.8 Compile

I am attempting to compile Perl 5.8.8 on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE.  I make it 
through the configuration just fine, but when I attempt to run the make 
command, I receive the following error message.  I am creating a custom 
install.  The only parameter I am changing is the installation location.

make: don't know how to make <command-line>. Stop.

I have run make depend, and it finishes without any problems.

I'm sure this is something simple I am missing because I have been 
looking at the problem for so long.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Jay

That got only a little bit farther.  It did find the setup program,
and the option dialogs seemed to work properly, but very shortly
after starting the actual install I got an error box:

                             VISIO Setup

   ! Tried to create an invalid path using 'A:\' and 'clipart.vs_'

and it locked up the display so that CtrlAltF1 would not switch
to a text screen (although it did allow AltTab to bring up FVWM's
window list).  After clicking OK:

                             Visio Setup

                           i Setup failed.

and it quit.

dmesg -M doesn't show anything either?

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.

Nut problem and last message repeated in dmesg

There are my questions:

> Does anyone become to correct the same problem and can help me to correct
this?

> Can anyone tell my how to see the "last message" which is repeated hundred
times?

I've got an MGE ellipse 750 USBS.

I've connected it to my server with USB cable.

I've installed NUT via ports.

Now this service is crashing very often.

For example it crashes yesterday 23h16, I restarted it and when I watch it
today :

# dmesg - a

.

Apr 30 23:12:38 myhost last message repeated 120 times

Apr 30 23:16:28 myhost last message repeated 46 times

Apr 30 23:16:33 myhost upsmon[1011]: Poll UPS [ellipse <at> localhost] failed -
Server disconnected

is there driver for (Bearlake) HECI Controller for releng_7 (or 7_0_0)


   Hello lists

   Intel G33 motherboard (Intel DG33FB)

   with FreeBSD 7 AMD64 (7.0-RELEASE-p1)

   one thing is missing:

   [root <at> asterisk ~]# pciconf -lv | grep -A3 none

   none0 <at> pci0:0:3:0:       class=0x078000 card=0x50448086 chip=0x29c48086
   rev=0x02 hdr=0x00

       vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'

       device     = '(Bearlake) HECI Controller'

       class      = simple comms

   Actually I dont know if I really need this (machine will be used for
   asterisk voip solution), but for completeness is there a driver for
   this piece of hardware?

   10x in advance

It's a bit bad choice of words, better would be "previous message repeated 7 
times". So the message that is repeated, is the message directly above it.

Sorry, can't help you with NUT, but it looks like server disconnects are not 
handled correctly and just generate hundreds of messages about stale data, 
rather then refreshing the data.

gdm sessions - xfce + fluxbox

Hello,

I would want to have a choice at login time between xfce (my default desktop
wm) and fluxbox. I have followed the steps from this document :
http://geek00l.blogspot.com/2006/06/freebsd-fluxbox-gdm.html

but i did not have the xsessions directory under /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/.

so i created one and created another file called Fluxbox.desktop inside it.
Then followed the rest of the document as is.  Additionally I copied the
startfluxbox binary to the ~/.Xclients file under the binary for xfce.

What has happened now is that I still dont see no choice under the sessions
menu in gdm morever i get logged on to xfce first.

Now when I log on from xfce I get logged on to fluxbox meaning the fluxbox
desktop may be waiting for the x-resources like the screen, mouse etc to
become available and then when it does become available it starts to run.

Im rather confused. Please help me with this and perhaps give me some
insight as to why it is the wa it is if you can

Hope to hear from you fellas
