Fwd: Install problems, Netfinity 5k w/Adaptec RAID
Hi, I asked this question last week. I got a very prompt and somewhat useful answer: this is a known bug in 5.2.1: use 4.9. Thanks very much. Would anyone be willing to tell me which known bug this is, so that I can track its progress, and thus know when it is safe for me to move to 5.x? I'm also more than a little interested in knowing what's going wrong... Many thanks, Blake Meike Begin forwarded message: From: Blake Meike [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: May 3, 2004 7:35:08 AM EDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Install problems, Netfinity 5k w/Adaptec RAID Hi, I'm hoping this will be easy to solve -- or at least easy to diagnose. I'm new to FreeBSD, so I just don't know where to look yet. I have a Netfinity 5k, .6Gh SMP with an Adaptec RAID. It runs all manner of Linuxes just fine. I'd like to start running BSD instead. Install from CD fails. If I leave APIC on, the boot into the installer gets as far as a message that says: Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec Actually, if I wait a very long time, I get one more message: md0: Preloaded image /boot/mfsroot ... If, on the other hand, I turn off APIC, I get into the installer just fine. When I try to set the media to CD, however, installer tells me that I have no CD drives (despite the fact that is is running from one!) I'd appreciate any suggestions that would help me: 1) identify the hardware that is causing the stall, so I can pull it out 2) explain to the installer where my CD drive is, with APIC off Many thanks, Blake Meike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Adaptec RAID cards
I've got a Supermicro P4 Xeon server with an onboard Adaptec SCSI controller and a 0 channel RAID adapter with one array, plus a 2200S dual channel RAID controller with a second array. FreeBSD 4.9 doesn't find any disks on the system at all. Neither the asr or aac drivers come up during boot. FreeBSD 5.1 does find both sets of disks. If I pull the 2200S and boot FreeBSD 4.9 the asr driver finds the 0 channel controller and array and installs fine. I've tried the 2200S without the 0 channel adapter and neither disk controller driver loads. Any idea why a 2200S would cause the kernel not to see either disk controller in 4.9 but work fine in semi recent versions of 5? In all instances the adapter BIOS loads and works properly. -- Michael Conlen ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Finally gave up and just installed NetBSD with the Adaptec 2400A without a hitch. Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
