install on external hdd
Hello everyone, I am new in FreeBSD. I want to install from DVD FreeBSD on an external hdd and I get an error when running the program partitioning. When I press alt + ctrl + F3, last lines: rm: /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/fstab: No such file or directory Running installation step: autopart Segmentation fault Running installation step: umount I found on Google about bsdinstall segfault without disks. Then I reboot computer, disconnected the hdd and connected it immediately after starting bsdinstall, that's what I brought: usb_alloc_device: set address 2 failed (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored) usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, USB_ERR_STALLED usbd_req_re_enumerate: addr=2, set address failed! (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored) usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, USB_ERR_STALLED usbd_req_re_enumerate: addr=2, set address failed! (USB_ERR_STALLED, ignored) usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, USB_ERR_STALLED ugen1.2: Unknown at usbus1 (disconnected) uhub_reattach_port: could not allocate new device As I understand it, my external hdd is not mounted. Maybe it's because I have a hdd with usb 3.0, but my computer does not have usb 3.0. Please, help. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Your research is correct so far. On Sun, 07 Jul 2013 00:18:11 +0400, Nazar Kazakov wrote: I found on Google about bsdinstall segfault without disks.

As I understand it, my external hdd is not mounted. The disk is not _recognized_. Only a file system can be mounted (which requires the disk to be recognized). For a USB disk, from the /dev/ugenX.Y device a /dev/daX device will be generated, corresponding to the disk. The process you've shown above does not even reach that step. If you go to the shell, you can enter dmesg to see the last messages that will be the same. You can also check the content of /dev regarding daX devices (ls /dev/da*) or use camcontrol devlist to check if they are present. Maybe it's because I have a hdd with usb 3.0, but my computer does not have usb 3.0. Yes, this looks like a typical cannot connect error. Normally, a USB 3 disk would switch down to USB 2. But USB 3 has a different current requirement, so it could be possible that the power drain from the USB port is insufficient for the disk to work properly. Can you try to attach a separate power supply to the disk? For USB 3, _all_ involved parts (disk, cable, ports, controller, OS) need to be in USB 3 mode, else it probably won't work. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
install on external hdd
In dmesg repeats the old conclusion that I wrote, but in dmesg I found information about five usbus and all except the last one (it has 2.0) written usb 1.0. I tried to connect the hdd to last, but failed. Also about usbus written that they are 2-port hub (probably built into the motherboard). In the first four usbus is intel UHCI root HUB, at the last - intel EHCI root HUB ls / dev / da * finds nothing camcontrol devlist outputs only DVD RW My hdd has an input for an external power supply, and it is already connected to a second usb port. 07.07.2013, 00:37, Polytropon free...@edvax.de: Your research is correct so far.

I tried to connect the hdd to last, but failed. Looks like a current issue. From WP: A unit load is defined as 100 mA in USB 2.0, and 150 mA in USB 3.0. A device may draw a maximum of 5 unit loads (500 mA) from a port in USB 2.0; 6 (900 mA) in USB 3.0. If the disk needs more than 500 mA to spin up and start properly, it won't work on a USB 2.0 port unless you use the external power supply. Also about usbus written that they are 2-port hub (probably built into the motherboard). In the first four usbus is intel UHCI root HUB, at the last - intel EHCI root HUB That kind of combination can often be found. My older home PC also had this kind of configuration (Intel EHCI, VIA UHCI). ls / dev / da * finds nothing camcontrol devlist outputs only DVD RW This shows that the disk isn't recognized by the OS, therefore not usable in any disk-related operation. My hdd has an input for an external power supply, and it is already connected to a second usb port. Also check the USB cable. Sometimes a partially defective cable causes this kind of trouble. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
