Strange. I just tried to co both freebios and freebios2 using pserver:anonymous and they both worked fine. Try removing the entire tree and start from scratch.

Hello from Gregg C Levine Check your CVS command string. SF updated to a newer release of BIND, and it has a problem with the way the domains were arranged from the earlier versions. So it becomes like this: "#cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freebios login" and then:
Yeah. I discovered that cvs.freebios.sourceforge.net does nothing but time out for me.
"#cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freebios co modulename". (With out the quotes or pound marks. And the line wrap included by my mailer.)
The 'co' is working fine until it gets to that sis directory, so I've got all the mainboard stuff etc down...
My command is equivalent to the above though I have CVSROOT set rather than using the -d flag. However, I would expect it to not work at all if wrong, not get half of it then complain about a lock on the repository. Its obviously only meant to be a temporary lock as well, because cvs retries every thirty seconds.
There is a specific user with the lock on the .../northsouthbridge/sis directory, I just don't want to post it on here.
