Same problems for me with atapi CD/DVD drives (READ_BIG timeouts,
etc) .. it works a bit better when dma is turned off, but then
performances are very poor.

   Aloha,
 
 I am getting the same errors as you guys with an intermittient BIG_read 
 one occasionally. I've tried to install FreeeBSD CURRENT 8 and 7 release.
 
 This is on a no name box with a bio board and 1100 cpu. I've had this on 
 other boxes too and load IDE drives on a box that works with them and 
 then put them in the box with errors and they work just fine.
 
 Every thing gets recognized normally at  install time, but the size of 
 the IDE drive a Fujutsu 20 gig. shows twice what it should be every time.
 
 Dont know if this has anything to do with it, except if you change the 
 size in installer it wont load anything.
 
 Maybe one of the top level gurus on the list can help.

Disk errors on installing FreeBSD 7.0

2008-08-07 Thread Snorre D. Øverbø
Hi all,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 7.0 release on a box at home.

When I boot up with the installation DVD these error messages appear on
the screen.
[Written down by hand:]

ad1: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51READY,DSC,ERROR
error=84ICRC,ABORTED LBA=0055347
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51READY,DSC,ERROR
error=84ICRC,ABORTED LBA=0
etc
etc



FreeBSD sees these hard disks during boot up:

ad0: 78533MB Hitachi HDS728080PLAT20 PF20A21B at ata0-master UDMA133
ad1: 32253MB Samsung SP2014N VC100-33 at ata0-slave UDMA100 [This is
wrong, the disk have a capacity of about 185 GB]


So, when I go on with the installation program and try to write to disk
the new slices and labels in fdisk I get an error message saying
something like not able to write to the disk.

I don't think there is something wrong with my hardware, because I just
have recently installed both Windows XP and Slackware Linux on the same
box, without any problems.

Does anybody have any idea to fix these problems?


regards,

Snorre D. Øverbø

Do you get the same error with FreeBSD 8.0 Current?

I got the same exact errors trying to install 7.0-RELEASE on two
different Dell boxes. One was 4 years old, the other was brand new (3
months ago).

Never was able to fix the problem. For the older one, I plugged in an
external DVD drive and installed via that. For the other one, I
installed via a mini-install disk, and then did a minimal network
install.

For the record, they both had SATA drives and the disks worked (and
still work) fine after the OS was installed. It was just copying the
base system off the CD that was causing errors.
