Re: FreeBSD on IBM Blade HS21
Hello, Ye, by installing the system with the timeout (i.e. just wait it out), then building a kernel without umass at the first opportunity. Still no luck. Today, I tried waiting till the timeout expired, but what happened was, that in the middle of probing, the machine got rebooted. It was the same with FreeBSD 6.1 and FreeBSD 6.2. I was trying to boot from the CD. The last text on the console was (in verbose boot mode): -- Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec lo0: bpf attached rr232x: no controller detecde. md0: Preloaded image /boot/mfsroot 4423680 bytes at 0xc0af6544 probe64:umass-sim1:1:0:0): error 22 probe64:umass-sim1:1:0:0): Unretryable Error probe65:umass-sim2:2:0:0): Retrying Command probe65:umass-sim2:2:0:0): error 22 probe65:umass-sim2:2:0:0): Unretryable Error probe63:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Request completed with CAM_REQ_CMP_ERR probe63:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Retrying Command probe63:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Request completed with CAM_REQ_CMP_ERR probe63:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Retrying Command -- After that, a reboot happened. The problem is, that I need 'umass' driver if I wan't to be able to read either USB disk or CDROM, since HS21 communicates with outer world only via USB and ethernet. Any more ideas? Or else, I will have to provide PXE boot environment (including the kernel without umass support) on my laptop and connect it via cross-over cable. Do you think this might work?

You can have a kernel without umass, but with uhid, ukbd, ums and other USB device drivers. When you need to access a USB device (after boot) you can just load the kernel module (umass.ko), wait the timeout and continue using it. I think the embedded CD/DVD drive in the chassis presents itself as a USB device so when you build a kernel without umass, you won't be able to access it (until you load the kernel module, of course). Or else, I will have to provide PXE boot environment (including the kernel without umass support) on my laptop and connect it via cross-over cable. Do you think this might work? Yes, very likely. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Okay, it really seems it's the nasty timeout I am facing (I booted into the verbose mode and it's the controller which causes the waits). I have tried to find that thread but wasn't really successful. Did you manage to get rid of the timeout after all?

FreeBSD on IBM Blade HS21
Hello, today I tried to migrate a FreeBSD 6.1 installation from an ordinary PC machine to an IBM Blade HS21 server. The server is a brand new machine with two Dual Core Xeon 5130 processors, two 72GB SAS drives. When I try to boot FreeBSD (either from USB disk with the installation I am trying to move, either from FreeBSD 6.2 disc 1 installation CD-ROM) the kernel doesn't load in full. It finds the USB disk, the SAS disks, but then stops here: Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec and nothing happens any more. Any ideas what might be causing the halt? If I try to press power button, I get the message that the ACPI command was ignored, or something (I guess this is because kernel didn't load completely). Any ideas what I might try? Oh, when I try to boot from CD-ROM, I get one more line, but I don't know exactly, it is something about md0 is initialised or something. And then it stops again. I really need to get this working or some people will be very angry. I thought FreeBSD must run on so popular IBM blades, right? Thanks for your help. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
