Re: Problem: cannot install on Dell 400SC
Looks to me as if the SCSI controller card is buggy. Try disabling search other LUNS. OK. I did that with no noticable difference. I did notice, though, in monkeying around that the fdisk did appear to write the boot block. When I let it go on and boot without any CD or floppy in it, the FreeBSD boot record attempted to start and of course, couldn't find a kernel since one hadn't been written. So, I tried again and first had Partition Magic make two slices with a DOS Fat32 on the first and the second unformatted, then had the FreeBSD installer write the FreeBSD MBR and it seemed to do so just fine, even though the newfses still failed on the partitions, so no filesystems were built and nothing installed. When I rebooted, it came up with the typical FreeBSD MBR question F1 - DOS F2 - FreeBSD Hittint F2 made it read the FreeBSD boot block on the second slice. But, of course it couldn't really boot any farther than that because no filesystems or kernel were there. So, it still makes me thing that FreeBSD can talk at least some to that combination of LSIL 53C1030 controller and Fujitsu hard disk. It writes the slice table, label, MBR and boot block. But, then it can't do anything else. Any other [positive] suggestions will be appreciated. jerry BSDBoy -Original Message- Is the SCSI channel terminated properly? What is the LUN of the HDD? The SCSI cable appears to be terminated. It has a terminator block on the end of the cable just past the hard drive. As for the LUN, I think it would be '0' on channel 'B' if I am making sense of the BIOS screen. Once I get that close to the hardware, I am getting out of my level.

So, FreeBSD can obviously write some part of the disk. But, newfs still would get to writing superblocks and then nothing more happened. That is the thing that seems odd to me. It does write to some part of the disk, enough to write label information. But, it does not seem to be able to do any other type of write to the disk. So, are the writes so different that a controller can handle one and not the other? There are several LSIL SCSI controllers listed in the hardware list and some in the 53C series, but not exactly 53C1030. Can the write be enough similar to handle labels, but not other stuff? One of the other people in our group put Linux on it - Debian I believe - and it appeared to install and write the disk just fine. So, I take that to mean that it isn't really just a flawed disk, though I suppose that is still possible. So, here is a blow-by-blow using any of the FreeBSD RELEASE cds I happen to have handy (4.9. 5.2.1 and 4.10). Basically, everything looks like it is going fine until after I select commit. It happily puts up a message on the curses screen saying Making a new root filesystem on /dev/da0s1a Then it stops and appears to do no more - at least for a long time. Here are the ALT-F2 console messages from when it starts to operate on the disk: |DEBUG: Scanning disk da0 for root filesystem |DEBUG: Scanning disk

You said that you have tried it with 4.x releases as well, they dont have apci support at all, so the problem can't be there. cheers, tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
RE: problem with install
Hi Joseph, You can disable the ACPI module in the boot process. When you see the message Hit enter or wait 10 seconds to boot press enter and type: unset acpi_load boot This way, the installation will happen without load the module ACPI. Hope this helps.

RE: problem with install
Since you have tried FBSD 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, 5.0 I would say that the problem is not an FBSD problem but a problem with the hard ware of the box you are installing FBSD onto. From your description of what you have done to fix the problem, I can see that you started to use the process of elimination method to debug the problem. You need to continue using this method. First of all I have never heard of ever needing dummy cards to terminate unused memory slots. Remove them. Also strip down your PC to bare bones. Remove SCSI control card from PC PCI bus and unplug power supplies from all SCSI devices. Only have IDE hard drive and IDE CDROM drive and install FBSD to see if it works. If that works then you know you have problem with SCSI control card. If SCSI control is old style ISA card you may have bio's irq assignment problem. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of joseph grundy Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 12:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: problem with install I am having problems trying to install FreeBSD.

RE: problem with install
I believe some types of RAM need a terminator card in some slots on some mobos ... IIRC, RDRAM often ran into this, particularly when the mobo could use multiple types of RAM. -Matt On Fri, 2003-02-14 at 12:07, JoeB wrote: Since you have tried FBSD 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, 5.0 I would say that the problem is not an FBSD problem but a problem with the hard ware of the box you are installing FBSD onto.
