ddb_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf would be enough. But I also remove "textdump
set" in kdb.enter.panic script (/etc/ddb.conf) as I prefer normal dumps (with
output of ddb scripts in capture buffer) to textdumps. You can't debug
textdump and crashinfo will fail too. And all info provided in textdump is
retrieved from vmcore capture buffer by crashifo utility automatically.

Hi, I'm having problem with upgrading my FreeBSD to RELENG_8. Building
world and kernel went smoothly I can boot with new kernel, but after 'make
installworld' I could boot my system. My system prints only:
BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive D: is disk1
BIOS drive E: is disk2
BIOS drive F: is disk3
|
And freezes...
Here is my configuration:
[~] # cat /etc/src.conf
LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=YES
[~] # cat /etc/make.conf
WITH_KDE_PHONON=YES
# added by use.perl 2010-03-10 21:03:54
PERL_VERSION=5.10.1
WITHOUT_NOUVEAU=YES
What have I done:
rm -rf /usr/obj
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
nextboot -o '-s' -k kernel
shutdown -r now
Reboot went fine:
[~] # uname -a
FreeBSD altstation 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0: Sun Mar 21 09:57:11 UTC
2010 toor@altstation:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
zfs mount -a
zfs set readonly=off zroot
adjkerntz -i
mergemaster -p
cd /usr/src
make installworld
mergemaster
shutdown -r now
Unfortunately my system hangs while booting and I had to rollback to
snapshot before 'make installworld' Actually I'm using new kernel build
today and 'world' from install dvd. It's my first FreeBSD upgrade, am I
missing something?

Dear all,
I would like to remind you that the next round of status reports
covering the first quarter of 2010 is due on April 15th, 2010. This
initiative is very welcome in our community. Therefore, I would like to
ask you to submit your status reports as soon as possible, so that we
can compile the report on time.
There is a lot of projects which are currently being worked on, so do
not hesitate and write us a few lines - a short description about what
you are working on, what are your plans and goals, so we can inform our
community about your great work! Check out the reports from past to get
some inspiration of what your submission should look like.
If you know about a project that should be included in the status
report, please let us know as well, so we can poke the responsible
people to provide us with something useful. Updates to submissions from
the last report are welcome too.
Note that the submissions are accepted from anyone involved with the
FreeBSD community, you do not have to be a FreeBSD committer.
Submissions about anything related to FreeBSD are very welcome!
Please email us the filled-in XML template to be found at
http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-sample.xml to
mon...@FreeBSD.org, or alternatively use our web based form located at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/monthly.cgi.

Hi,
I got this reply from Gigabyte about my concern about actual ECC
support on board:
Model Name : GA-X48-DS4(rev. 1.3)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your kindly mail and inquiry. About the issue you
mentioned, we do not guarantee all Third party H/W monitor utilities
will work properly with our motherboard because most of the S/W does
not know our H/W design and impossible optimize their S/W for our
motherboard. We are sorry if there is any inconvenience.
In addition, basically, if you could boot up your system with ECC
memory module, it means your motherboard could fully support the ECC
memory module. If the motherboard does not support the ECC memory, you
could not use this kind of memory module for the system to use. By the
way, ECC function will automatically enable in the BIOS program. You
do not need to turn on it manually.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I call this bullshit because all testing utilities I used, not a
single one confirmed any presence of ECC.
Also, most of the Asus boards are extremely unstable with ECC enabled.
Finally I replaced my Kingston ECC DDR2 with no-ECC memory on Asus
board and bought Intel s3210shlx server board for my workstation.

The ZFS bootloader has been changed in 8-STABLE compared to
8.0-RELEASE. Reinstall your boot blocks.
P.S: "LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=YES" is also deprecated in 8-STABLE, not to
mention that you have it in the wrong place, for 8.0, it goes into
make.conf, not src.conf.
Is there any particular reason you are upgrading from a production
release to a development branch of the OS?
- Sincerely,
Dan Naumov
