7.2 works very good, no problems and I was stupid and decided to install 8.0...I don't know why...

There are many errors with acpi which I didn't have before:
Code: 
acpi0: Power Button (fixed)
acpi0: reservation of 0, a0000 (3) failed
acpi0: reservation of 100000 7fef0000 (3) failed

I didn't have this problems on 7.2.

Then:

Code: 
Setting data via ntp.
Error: hostname nor servname provided or not known
ntpdate;797]: can't find host ntp1.cs.wisc.edu
(I did try with ntp3 too)

I don't know what is a problem but computer freez three (3) times during compiling xorg. Now I try to build KDE and agan problem: freez two times...now still working.
I will see when I come back home. If it will happened again I going back to 7.2.

There were also message:
Code: 
xptioctl: pass driver is not in the kernel
xptioctl: put "device pass" in your kernel config file

I didn't rebuild my kernel. It is GENERIC and I check it and "device pass" is in the config.

When (if) I could use my computer I will posted dmessg result.

Thanks in advance.
 
I came home and nothing new just many errors with building KDE I will try again.

I have about 30 new messages like:

maxproc limit exceeded by uid 0, please see tuning (7) and login.conf. What is difference from default is just that I protecting system passwords with Blowfish (I did same on FreeBSD 7.2).
 
show output of # ps ax as root, if you can

and show your /etc/rc.conf and login.conf

Also did you run
Code: 
# cap_mkdb  /usr/profile
after you modified /etc/login.conf

I did:
Code: 
# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
I will try what you wrote but before I did just with login.conf (from BSD Hacks).

My rc.conf looks like:
Code: 
hostname="bla bla"
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
syslogd_flags="-ss"
clear_tmp_enable="YES"
tcp_drop_synfin="YES"
icmp_drop_redirect="YES"
icmp_log_redirect="YES"
pf_enable="YES"
pflog_enable="YES"
update_motd="NO"
ntpdate_flags="ntp1.cs.wisc.edu"
ntpdate_enable="YES"
# moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
dbus_enable="YES"
polkit_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
saver="green"
blanktime="600"
# linux_enable="YES"
clamav_clamd_enable="YES"
clamav_freshclam_enable="YES"

Thanks

I found error
ntpdate_[red]flags[/red]="ntp1.cs.wisc.edu"
should be
ntpdate_hosts="ntp1.cs.wisc.edu"

It is very unusual. What I wrote I had from FreeBSD 7.0 beta and it works all the time. I didn't read but I don't understand what is new in FreeBSD 8.0 that it doesn't works. And BTW I did this with sysinstall. Maybe is time to go back to 7.2??? or is 8.0 too early out....
 
It was always like that.... For some reason you had it wrond, and it did work (don't know why).

Now it doesn't work, but what I say is correct. I have this line in my rc.conf for VERY long time
 
8 is out just on time (even later then sheduled), sysinstall may have errors, I don't know, I haven't been using it for more than year. If I have to install anything from strach I use fixit mode, and do everything myself

Thank you very much for help. I hope that maxproc limit exceeded by uid 0 messages will dissaper too and kde will be installed too ):
 
KDE is installed and computer didn't freeze and there are no "maxproc limits"...
I hope that will be okay :).

Thank you killasmurf86 :)

I was too fast :). The nptdate still doesn't works. Now I got message about wrong name. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I checked four times, than I ran by "hand"
Code: 
/usr/sbin/ntpdate  ntp1.cs.wisc.edu
and it works but if I have in /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_hosts="ntp1.cs.wisc.edu"
it doesn't works.
 
Do you use DHCP?
Maybe [somehow] when ntpdate is started during boot, it can't connect to server, because internet is not up....

this shouldn't happend, but who knows
 
I saw this error too

Code: 
xptioctl: pass driver is not in the kernel
xptioctl: put "device pass" in your kernel config file

when I did a fresh install of 8.0R, and my box was locking up (mentioned elsewhere in the forum.) I had copied GENERIC and ripped out all the stuff I was used to ripping out for 7.2; including "pass". I seem to recall though getting this when using the GENERIC kernel. But I've fixed it now and have a new kernel and things seem to be stable so I'll try something heavy like re-compiling xorg.

I switched back to FreeBSD 7.2 and it works perfect. I don't know what was wrong with 8.0.
Code: 
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_hosts="ntp1.cs.wisc.edu"
never worked. I took out the realtek card and live in just "sk0" and it was the same. I reinstall from scratch and the same...
Maybe was wrong with mine CD? I downloaded from ftp.freebsd.org. Maybe the next version :).

I had exactly the same error. This means that somewhere it must be noted wrong. But still, why did this work in 7.2 ?
Anyway, it's good to have a solution.
 
Deja Vu all over again

lumiwa,

My problem returned last night, found the box locked up again. Rebooted this morning and dmesg had things like this in it:

Code: 
Dec  2 06:26:21 auden kernel: acpi0: reservation of fee00000, 1000 (3) failed
Dec  2 06:26:21 auden kernel: acpi0: reservation of ffb80000, 80000 (3) failed
Dec  2 06:26:21 auden kernel: acpi0: reservation of fec10000, 20 (3) failed
Dec  2 06:26:21 auden kernel: acpi0: reservation of 0, a0000 (3) failed
Dec  2 06:26:21 auden kernel: acpi0: reservation of 100000, cff00000 (3) failed

I'm now thinking ACPI issues in RELEASE (at least, for my hardware.) Here's something though: I had csup'ed to 8_0 just to make sure I had everything (I had installed 8.0; didn't come up from 7.2) after installation. After the first couple lockups I csup'ed to 8 and, little more than a day after release, there was a lot of stuff changed. The next day I csup'ed again and there was nothing. I don't really know the ebb and flow of cvs changes in a release so I don't want to make too much of it; but I'm going to csup to 8 and rebuild world and see what happens. If things still stink I'll go back to the disk with 8.0 i386 (I'm on amd64 right now) and sit there until 8.1. I think there's something up with ACPI. Next step for me is to check for BIOS updates. Good Luck.

I didn't have time and I have working FreeBSD 7.2 back on computer. It works. I will wait for the new release.
