I'm trying to begin testing FreeBSD-7.0-Beta2, and I have a mixture of
Intel
and AMD-based machines that I work with.
I'm using the i386 release. I've previously used FreeBSD-4.9R and 6.2Rfor
i386 on these machines, but cannot get
7.0-Beta2 to work on the AMD machines. These are 100- and 1000-series
dual-core Opteron CPUs.
I've tried:
Updating using source from 6.2-Release
Installing from 7.0-Beta2 CD
Installing from 7.0-CURRENT-200710-i386 snapshot CD
I see a variety of errors, including:
1) BTX Halted
2) errors when running /bin/sh from /etc/rc
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 Undefined symbol "opterr" referenced from
COPY
relocation in sh
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 Invalid file format (on multiple binaries)
various other "undefined symbol" messages
signal 10, signal 11 on multiple binaries
Sounds like you might have a corrupted installation. Did you verify the
MD5 checksum on the ISO images?
Has anyone successfully used 7.0-Beta2 for i386 on AMD Opteron-based
platform? Any suggestions for tracking
down the problem?
Yes, it works on mine.

I just compared the md5 sum and they match. Considering that I used 2
different CD sources,
as well as a source update, all with similar results, it would seem unlikely
that a corrupted file/image
could be at fault. And of course, the same hard CD can be used to install
to an Intel-based machine
with no failures.
I've tried 3 different MB/ CPU combinations. All are Supermicro-branded,
and all have the HT1000
ServerWorks chipset. I've just found Jeff Robertson's post:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20071109114636.Y639
Perhaps he can confirm the behavior. In the meantime I will try the patch
posted by John Baldwin
yesterday on -current, and test that with both IDE and MMIO modes.
Yes, that sounds likely. Thanks for trying the patch.
Kris
