COM port problem

I am running under XP Professional

I have an appplication which needs to drive COM 1 directly rather than through
the normal driver.  It does not work.

I have used hypertrm to see what happens and it says it cannot open COM 1.

This suggests something else has control of the COM 1

As far as I know I have no other S/W that should do this.

How do I find out what is causing this?

That's your first problem.  This is your second:

3.6-stable panic: pool_get(mclpl): freelist modified

Hi,

I deployed an up-to-date 3.6-stable last night to sniff some packets and
it paniced overnight.

The box has 2 xl nics, and I have the recent patch applied. The
bandwidthd program that's running uses libpcap to do some IP accounting.
Is it an xl specific thing? 

Here's the gory details:

Re: 3.6-stable panic: pool_get(mclpl): freelist modified

Another panic with a similar trace. I'm going to try changing the nics.
Any other suggestions?

Re: 3.6-stable panic: pool_get(mclpl): freelist modified

An update.  I changed the both the original xl's for an rl and another
xl and the box paniced again while the xl nic was in half-duplex and
promiscous mode (connected to a hub, sniffing packets). However, since
swapping the roles around (xl on switch and autoneg'd to full) the
machine has remained up.  Seems that sniffing and/or half-duplex with
the xl nic leads to the panic. Any comments anyone?

Kind regards,
Stephen Marley

ProcFS & XSupplicant

I'm attempting to compile XSupplicant ( http://www.open1x.org/ ) on 
OpenBSD 3.6 and it's telling me to enable ProcFS.  So I added the 
following line to my fstab:

procfs   /proc   procfs   ro 0 0

and then mounted /proc

When I tried to do the configure afterwards it is still balking saying 
that ProcFS isn't enabled in my kernel.  Am I missing anything?

TIA,
Jay W. Reffner

Re: ProcFS & XSupplicant

 Yeah I know about that, but my principle question was about ProcFS, not
about compatability with BSD and XSupplicant.  Specifically, did I mount
proc correctly and if not, what should I do make procfs work?  I would
like to explore whether or not I can get XSupplicant to work on OpenBSD. 
I use 802.1x heavily here at my campus and would like to start seeing how
difficult it would be to get the BSD's to work.

TIA,
Jay

You could try the Linux compatibility option to mount_procfs(8). See
the manpage for more info on how this works. This may help, not sure
though.
