FreeBSD has a template called cskel somewhere in /usr/share/. Maybe
OpenBSD has something similar like that ?

pcidevs_data.h typo

Here's a patch that I believe fixes a typo in current (as of 12:00 MDT 9/30) in /sys/dev/pci/pcidevs_data.h

Anyway, I can now build the kernel with current.

And how does one from then serial console write set tty com0, I think
one need a keyboard on the default tty pc0 to write that one.

Some arcitectutres are better ion this when one doesn't have a keyboard
they use the first serial port.

Re: aac(4) timeout problems + fix

FWIW, I was also experiencing the same timeout issues with my Dell PERC 2/Si
controller. I have been running a 3.1-stable+this patch kernel for about a
week with no problems.

Kudos to haver <at>  and blc3 <at>  !!

Subject: aac(4) timeout problems + fix

Timeout/lockup issues with Dell's PERC series of controllers have been
discussed several times on tech <at> . Bug report was also submitted (can't
provide bug# since the gnats is currently disabled).

Anyways, I believe we have a patch (see below) that fixes these
problems. Credit goes to Brandin L Claar <blc3 <at> only.arl.psu.edu> for
in-depth debugging + fixes.

I've been running GENERIC 3.1-stable kernel with this patch for a month
on 2 Dell machines (2400 and 2550) with two different PERC controllers
(2/Si and 3/Di) and _all_ the previous problems have gone away. No more
'sd0(aac0:0:0): timed out' messages nor 30 seconds lookups under heavy disc
activity. It simply works, even with softupdates enabled.

I've attached dmesgs from the two systems.

I really believe that this should go into the tree. Since Niklas seems

The default ccd label includes a single partition.  If you want
something other than that you need to use disklabel.

That's because the default label consists of a single partition
that uses all the space.  If you change 'c' to be unused you can
add additional partitions (since that will free up the space).

if you are talkign about the bios's own serial console
option, which is not availbale, in general, then that's
a different story. it's not compatible w/ our serial console
and you would have to switch the com ports (;
of course, what you are suggesting is to put "set serial com0"
onto the cdrom, that's gonna do it, indeed.

you can write your own bios instead.

yes, mount the floppy image with vnd and then create an appropriate
boot.conf.  umount and write it to a disk and there you have it. or,
when the boot> prompt comes up, just enter "set tty com0" and from
then on, you will have a serial console.

Re: passive ftp and pf

I have the same problem with passive FTP.
I've just added that line:
pass out on fxp0 inet proto tcp from 192.168.100.0/24 to any port > 1024
keep state

and haven't noticed any difference.
can still log in and do normal things, just doing "ls" on any directory with
more than 1 file causes it to timeout.
works on FTP servers that are only a few hops away, but seems to timeout on
other FTP servers.

any ideas?
