This email is slightly different.) Do we have any branded NetBSD icons called gnome-main-menu.svg, novell-button.svg, start-here.svg, and distributor-logo.svg? Anyone interested in providing these? See the gnome-icon-theme, oxygen-icons, or tango-icon-theme (or upcoming elementary-icon-theme) packages for examples. They may be the same image (symlink) or different images for each. The sizes are: 22x22 24x24 48x48 64x64 128x128 But these would be fine also: 16x16 32x32 256x256 scalable These svg (and png) files could be put into a package called netbsd-icon-theme.

I've tried with 6.0BETA amd64 INSTALL kernels and it seems to be compiled without MULTIBOOT options, which makes them useless with pxelinux. I've tried adding "options MULTIBOOT" to the sys/arch/amd64/conf/INSTALL conf file, but the resulting kernel is still not booting with pxelinux. I'm using the following pxelinux configuration: label netbsd6-install kernel mboot.c32 append rogerpau/netbsd-INSTALL Which gives "Fatal: not a multiboot kernel." error when using amd64 versions, but with i386 I've got a little bit more success, I'm able to boot the install kernel, that seems to come with multiboot activated by default on config file, but since I'm on a serial console I'm not able to see any output, and the machine reboots shortly after booting the kernel, to get serial console output I've tried passing "consdev com1", but I'm not really sure this is the correct syntax to use with pxe</pre> Roger Pau Monné 2012-05-24T14:56:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.general/33107 <pre> I ended up figuring out my issues, but I'm thinking this note may be useful to others. summary: Does raidframe on dkN via gpt work?

The screen only display the first line message and reboot immediately. I knew the new netbsd-6 kernel using modules under i386, so I try the MONOLITHIC kernel, but it failed boot, too.

I have a couple of external drives that currently are mounted on boot with an fstab entry, which works well, but the other day the power went off for quite a while and the UPS didn't last that long. On boot, one of these drives needed to be checked by hand and I got cut off from the server until I got back. Now, if I use amd, then the machine will mount the external drives if they are available and have no problems (I believe). So I'll like to give it a try, but I have a minor problem... Is not working for me and I found the documentation a bit confusing. Please comment on the following: amd.conf ------ snipet --------- [ /media ] map_type = file map_name = /etc/amd.media ------ end snipet ---- amd.media -------- file starts ----------- /defaults type=ffs;opts=rw,log,noatime disk1 dev:/dev/sd1e ---------- end of file --------- Any pointers please?

As a stress test, I ran a build.sh -Uo release on sources stored on a replicated and stripped glusterfs volume (2 replicating severs each aggregating 2 disks). As you can see below, the build took 74 hours to complete, which is not exciting, but it completed without a hassle, and with one of the servers rebooting during the operation. For anyone willing to test, glusterfs is in pkgsrc. A client doesnot need any special treatment. Running a glusterfs server requires a custom kernel with extended attributes enabled (and it needs kernel sources from netbsd-6 as of today, as the last pullups have just been processed) make release started at: Sun May 13 14:12:36 CEST 2012 make release finished at: Wed May 16 17:35:14 CEST 2012 ===&gt; Successful make release ===&gt; build.sh ended: Wed May 16 17:35:14 CEST 2012 ===&gt; Summary of results: build.sh command: ./build.sh -Uo release build.sh started: Sun May 13 14:12:17 CEST 2012</pre> Emmanuel Dreyfus 2012-05-19T15:10:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.general/33080 <pre>After installing cups-pdf, tried adding cups-pdf through cups web ui.
