I'm having what seems like a similar issue on FreeBSD 5.3:

./srcds_run -console -game hl2mp +map dm_lockdown +maxplayers 14 -port 27015 -debug
Auto detecting CPU
grep: /var/run/dmesg.boot: No such file or directory
grep: /var/run/dmesg.boot: No such file or directory
Using default binary.
Enabling debug mode
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Tue Dec 21 18:57:38 UTC 2004: Server Quit

And then it dumps me back to a shell. Any ideas?

You guys using linux_base-8?

[Spectre-_-666]

last steam version

[tubesock]

Are you using the linux_base-8 port from /usr/ports on your FreeBSD installs?

[Spectre-_-666]

how can i check it? im lame at *nix :[

[Antti FINFL]

it's your prosessor. Steam dosen't support Xeon prosessors. So It cannot detect what you are using.

It crashes because of it is trying to use i686 executable of Steam.

And one more thing. You're running FreeBSD that isn't fully POSIX compatible. Use Linux. I suggest to use Gentoo. www.gentoo.org

It will increase you possibility of success running Steam on Xeon prosessors.

please if you're lame on nix I guess you have made really bad selection by selecting *BSD to your *NIX. I suggest to start with something easier. Use Linux, like Fedora or Suse. I am running HL1 and HL2 servers with gentoo linux on amd64. Gentoo may be little hard to install but it sure is easier to manage than *BSD. And it includes emerge that is britty much same as ports in *BSD.

If I could choose a server OS for Steam I personally would choose Darwin. But steam ain't running on that because it is intend to be run on Linux. Linux is a POSIX standard variant UNIX. And BSD isn't. It however come from same UNIX tree so you may be able to run Linux software on it. But like i said it isn't fully compatible.

Try this command:

pkg_info | grep -i linux

Should get a result (hopefully) something like this:

linux-libxml-1.8.10_1 RPM of libxml
linux_base-8-8.0_4 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for i386)
linux_devtools-8.0_2 Packages needed for doing development in Linux mode
