4 days has passed since the new FreeBSD logo and now a fresh FreeBSD is waiting to grab it from the mirrors.
I wish i will find some time to test it. Even on a virtual machine…

The competition is over.
Finally after about 8 months from the announcement we have a new Logo.
And believe me it is really nice (http://logo-contest.freebsd.org/result/640-1.png).
Even if it isn’t the daemon, we will get used to it
Reading slashdot is nice. I could have missed the birtday of OpenBSD 🙂
10 years have passed since Theo de Raadt did the commit of his Makefile into the CVS
Happy birthday OpenBSD
Poul-Henning Kamp send an update of the Funded FreeBSD development project.
He has done an excellent work.
Only one comment: On his mail he mention the following
[b]”I rather fear I sound as boring as the tourist guides on
the ruins of Akropolis, my apologies.”[/b]
He was in Greece and we didn’t notice it ? To bad for us…..
After talking with sivitos (one of my friends, and a known freebsd guru) about the uhci GIANT-LOCKED he suggested to turn off the USB support.
Turning off the USB wasn’t a option cause i will use it later, but i found on the BIOS that i could turn off the usb legacy emulation.
And guess: The Freebsd boots :), and FreeSBIE works also. Happy playing
Since the 5.3 Release failed to boot, i tried to see what it will happen with NetBSD 2.0 i386.
NetBSD at least it boots and i can use a shell.
Now i am really pist off. Priority 1 to have FreeBSD installed on the weekend.
After the release of FreeBSD on 06 Nov 2004, i wanted to do a test installation in my laptop, a Toshiba Pro M10.
Of course it didn’t succeded. The machine hung with a GIANT-LOCKED after probing the onboard USB controller. I didn’t have more time to investigate it so i did an abort.
Today i downloaded FreeSBIE, a freebsd [url]www.freesbie.org/[/url] live cd similar to knoppix, and try to see if it boot. Same error again.
Now it is time to find a solution. Doing a little search on google it appears that i am not the only person with the same problem, but i didn’t find a clear solution.
Disabling acpi didn’t help. The last message just for reference is the following:
[b]uhci0:
uhci0: Reserved 0x20 bytes for rid 0x20 type 4 at 0xefe0
uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED][/b]
I will look at it again in the weekend. It is too bad i cannot run freebsd in my laptop 🙁
I downloaded NetBSD 1.6.2 two days ago, in order to do some test to my sparcstation 5.
Today they released 2.0….. 🙂 Downloading now.
PS Next time i will have a look on the releases schedule before i start download 🙂
