Cannot install on HP Pavilion
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 9.1 Release on an HP Pavilion Slimline (model s5-1414); I get through the installation fine, but when I re-boot, the machine gives an: ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed. I looked around for suggestions via mailing list archives, google, and such but no luck (or perhaps the wrong search terms). Details: I've been using FreeBSD for more years than I care to admit (i.e. more than 10); I'm generally pretty familiar with the process and the installer, but am by no means an expert The target machine is a model s5-1414, product # H3Y75AA#ABA I went through the whole process: re0 configured using DHCP * guided partition; using the whole disk ada0 ada0p1 64kbfreebsd-boot ada0p2 927GB freebsd-ufs / ada0p3 4GB freebsd-swapnone commit = yes * fetched distribution files (e.g. base, kernel, doc, games, ports, src) * root password; setup user OK on boot, the error (above) is generated the BIOS is an HP/American Megatrends ver. 2.15.227 relevant (?) settings include: * Storage: SATA Emulation: AHCI Boot Order: (I've tried just about everything), but the relevant part seems to be that the Legacy devices never "work" * Security: Legacy: enable Secure boot: disable Fast boot: disable Please let me know if there's anything else you would care to know or see.

Probably not. However, there are means to run the PPC version of FreeBSD on some Apple hardware, as well as it's maybe possible to run FreeBSD's x86 version on some x86 Macs.

Previously the root pool had to be present in zpool.cache. Now it is automatically discovered by probing available GEOM providers. The new scheme is believed to be more flexible. For example, it allows to prepare a new root pool at one system, then export it and then boot from it on a new system without doing any extra/magical steps with zpool.cache. It could also be convenient after zpool split and in some other situations. The change was introduced via multiple commits, the latest relevant revision in head is r243502. The changes are partially MFC-ed, the remaining parts are scheduled to be MFC-ed soon. -- Thanks, Dean E.

The main difference I see between those two scripts is that one doesn't use a
cache file and the other one does, hence the name of the scripts. But it should
work without cachefile too, shouldn't it? The other difference is how
mountpoints are set, but I can't figure out what could be wrong there.
I am guessing without seeing the scripts, but I assume the cache you refer to is
the /boot/zfs/zpool.cahce file. This file instructs the kernel which zpools to import at
boot time. If this file is missing or damaged the kernel cannot import any zpools. So you
MUST have a valid zpool.cache file in order to import the zpool containing the
"/" zfs dataset
That was my understanding, too, but the instructions on the wiki say
there's no need to copy the cache file. In fact, there is no cache file
to copy, since the pool is created with

Under 9.0 I had some external drives attached via USB and saw truly terrible I/O performance. I moved them to ESATA and it got much better. Unfortunately, my external exclosure has a SATA port expander as I need to talk to 4 external drives. That gives me about a factor of 2 worse performance than the internal SATA drives (even if I am only talking to one drive via the external connection). -- Paul Kraus Deputy Technical Director, LoneStarCon 3 Sound Coordinator, Schenectady Light Opera Company ___ 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"
