(New Dell Poweredge T110, X3430 Xeon, 4GB 1333MHz ). Machine replaces
operating freeBSD 8.1 Dell 686 machine with active Internet connection.
When trying to load freeBSD 8.1 from a boot only i386 ISO disc, which

not accepting network configuration loaded via Sysinstall and cannot
find freeBSD download site.
'Details are *IMPORTANT*.
Indeed it would be nice if provided more details!
You didn't provide any -- and, unfortunately, my crystal ball is on the
fritz this week.
From what you did describe, this could be a DNS problem, a driver/hardware
mismatch, unsupported hardware, defective hardware, or even an unplugged
cable.
Information only _you_ can provide:
1) _exactly_ what kind of network card is in your T110 ?
We have a T110 here and it has the Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme
BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
I see in the kernconf of 8.1
device bce # Broadcom BCM5706/BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet
device bfe # Broadcom BCM440x 10/100 Ethernet
device bge # Broadcom BCM570xx Gigabit Ethernet
So it should be supported by the bge driver which is enabled in the
GENERIC kernel
See

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bgesektion=4manpath=FreeBSD+8.1-RELEASE
2) exactly *what* does the boot message say about what kind of network
interfaces, if any, were found?
3) what does not accepting mean?
4) what does 'ifconfig -a' show?
5) what does 'netstat -nr' show?
6) can you 'ping' anywhere? say 129.105.5.104?
7) what does 'traceroute -n {anywhere} ' show?

Thanks, Mike One thing that strikes me is that you're using the i386 ISO when your processor is almost certainly 64 bit. If you want to address all your memory, then you should use the amd64 ISO. As to your problem configuring your network, you have to look at the handbook and give us more information as to what you have done. But as Adam says you should do a full install with disc 1 if you're having problems doing a net install.

Problem installing FreeBSD 7.1 RELEASE.
Hi. I'm having trouble installing 7.1 release. The details of my system : Motherboard : EliteGroup (A740GM-M) RAM : 3G DDR2 800Mhz CPU : AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core processor Disk :WD 500GB SATA DVD : Samsung DVD/Writer Super Write Master Primary OS : Windows XP sp3 I'll list the problems and the attempts I've tried to get around them. Problem #1 The CD/DVD drive can not be mounted by sysinstall. === I have a SAMSUNG DVD writer drive attached to my ATAPI IDE interface. I have a WD 500GB SATA Drive attached to my SATA interface. The system boots off the CD, runs sysintall. I'm able to allocate storage for the FREEBSD partition and then create the individual slices for the default file systems. (/, swap, /var, /tmp, /usr) When choosing the instalation media as CD/DVD, an error message saying that the CD/DVD drive was not found pops up. I've tried every option on the boot program, they all fail to load the CD/DVD drive and can't proceed with the instalation. I've tried changing the DVD drive to a nother CD/RW drive attached to the same ATAPI controller, the problem persist as before, no change. This leads me to my next attempt to install the system from a disk PARTITION. Problem #2 Unable to mount the disk partiton at the time of install. = Ok, I've created a new extended partition with Partition Magic to hold the contents of the install CD. This new partition sits third on the list as follows : a) NTFS partition with my XP installation b) FreeBSD partiton where the system will be installed. c) The new FAT partiton where the contents of the FREEBSD cd is copied into the directory named E:\FREEBSD. I've copied the entire CD to this new partition. Back to sysinstall, when choosing the new instalation media Install from DOS partition I get an error message saying Unable to mount /dev/ad8s3 to /dist, and the problem of not finding the DOS partition where the contents of the FREEBSD cd were copied to continues, keeping me from progressing with the install. The next attempt was trying to install from a filesystem. When selecting this option, a dialog from sysinstall pops up asking to list the complete path name of where the FREEBSD files were copied to this disk partition. I enter /dev/ad8s3:/FREEBSD and an error message saying that it can not find the disk partition comes up keeping me from progressing with the install. I've looked at the FreeBSD handbook online, but could not find further details about installing the system from a disk partition. Any pointers as to what proper measures to take to try to get past this problem. ? Can someone suggest some other way to get the system installed. ? Oh, I've also tried PC-BSD, but that stops right away with an error message of Error loading image since it can not find the CD/DVD drive again. I'll appreciated if you can provide further details of how to proceed, point me to the direction where I can get more details.

Problem installing FreeBSD 5.3
Hi, I am attempting to install FreeBSD 5.3 (because that's the latest distro I have CD's for) on a brand new system with a 80 G harddrive and 2 G RAM. I boot from Disk 1 of the 5.3 disk set and choose to begin a standard installation. Next is the fdisk utility to partition the drive. The first thing I get is a message which states: WARNING: A geometry of 155061/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more likely geometry. If this geometry is incorrect or if you are unsure whether or not it's correct, please consult the hardware guide in the documentation submenu or use the (G)eometry command to change it now. Even if I go to bios and use the values bios gives for the harddrive (38309/16/255) I still get the same message about incorrect geometry. I can choose OK and get past this. I choose to devote the entire disk to FreeBSD, and install the FreeBSD boot manager. Next I need to partition my drive. The defaults won't do at all (this machine is to be a radius server mail server and the default size of /var is too small). I chose 2000M for /, 4000M for swap (using 2 x RAM), 200M for /tmp, 20,000M for /usr and the remainder for /var. Next I chose to install full sources, binaries docs and to install the Ports collection. I chose to install from CD then hit OK to start copying files but I get this error: Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev. The creation of file systems will be aborted. ad0s1b is my swap partition. I changed the size of swap to 2000M thinking perhaps it was too large but I get the same error about unable to find device node.

Hello-- Lisa Casey wrote: I am attempting to install FreeBSD 5.3 (because that's the latest distro I have CD's for) on a brand new system with a 80 G harddrive and 2 G RAM. If you're having problems with 5.3, it might be better to try 6.2 or maybe 5.5 than to spend too much time playing with a version that you're going to have to update immediately before using, anyway. Note that you can simply burn a new FreeBSD image from the ones on ftp.freebsd.org or the mirrors mentioned in the fine manual... :-) I boot from Disk 1 of the 5.3 disk set and choose to begin a standard installation. Next is the fdisk utility to partition the drive. The first thing I get is a message which states: WARNING: A geometry of 155061/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more likely geometry.

Even if I go to bios and use the values bios gives for the harddrive (38309/16/255) I still get the same message about incorrect geometry. You might try updating your machine's BIOS, if anything is available, and you might try entering the disk configuration settings and try to make sure the BIOS is set to LBA mode rather than C/H/S or some manual geometry. Usually the default/auto setting ends up in LBA mode, anyway, unless your BIOS is old or flaky. I can choose OK and get past this. I choose to devote the entire disk to FreeBSD, and install the FreeBSD boot manager. Next I need to partition my drive. The defaults won't do at all (this machine is to be a radius server mail server and the default size of /var is too small).

The creation of file systems will be aborted. ad0s1b is my swap partition. I changed the size of swap to 2000M thinking perhaps it was too large but I get the same error about unable to find device node. This implies a problem writing out the partition table. Make sure the IDE cables are OK and that the disk drive and CD-ROM drive have the IDE master/slave setting jumpers properly configured. You might have a BIOS setting about boot sector virus protection; if so, turn that off or your BIOS might have prevented FreeBSD from writing the bootstrap info/MBR out to disk. You might also try using a DOS or Windows version of FDISK to create a small bootable partition (a Win 98/ME recovery floppy works good for this), and see whether that is bootable. If it is, then try installing FreeBSD to the remainder of the disk space. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Problem installing FreeBSD 6.2 on laptop
It may be that you configured securelevel on startup. Try with sysctl kern.securelevel to find out which is your securelevel. It may be 1 or greater. Then try to change it either with sysinstall or directly at the command prompt with sysctl -w kern.securelevel=-1. This should work.

Re: Problem installing FreeBSD 6.0
Did you do a custom newfs? No. What's you partition layout? First slice is a Windows NTFS, 45GB Then I have a 35GB slice for FreeBSD (type 165). Inside that slice, I used automatic partitioning. What did you install (only the bare base? or also additional distributions/packages) I selected the 'All binaries and doc but no games, kernel sources only' option. But the problem occurs while it displays: extracting base into / so probably it has nothing to do with the selected distros/packages.

RE: Problem Installing FreeBSD 6.0, asking for help
I believe you are saying that 5.2 is currently installed on the hard drive and you want to do a fresh install from scratch of 6.0. You have to change the pc bios setup to boot from the cd drive instead of from the hard drive. The pc will then boot from the 6.0 cd and install 6.0 destroying the 5.2 system on the hard drive along with any user data you had. After 6.0 is installed you have to change the bios back to booting from the hard drive. Be sure you have a backup of any user data on the 5.2 system you want saved. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2006 5:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem Installing FreeBSD 6.0, asking for help Hello, may I ask you for help with the following Problem: When I try to install FreeBsd6.0, there is the following error during the boot process (because the system is not able to boot from CD, I have to boot from floppy) occurs: ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: SCB 6: immediate reset Flags 0x620 ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: No longer in timeout, status=25b ahc0: Issued channel A bus reset, SCBs 6 aborted. ... ... ...

Where are you getting the message? Are you using the FreeBSD installation CDROM? Or are you working with the partition table in another program such as fdisk?

Problem installing FreeBSD after Linux
Hi, I have 1 primary partition, containing 4 extended partitions. Mandrake Linux 9.2 is installed over there.

Unfortunately, the installation process got hung while the installer was Creating a root filesystem on ad10s3. I waited for more than 3 hours.

Re: Problem installing FreeBSD in M754LMR Motherboard.
Finally! I was able to install FreeBSD 4.7! Now, I'm going to upgrade to 5.0 but it must be with the source method because when I try to boot with the 5.0 installation CD it gives me the same error (the kernel has the AGP support on it) and it never can run sysinstall. So, as this is my first time with FreeBSD, for sure it's going to take me a little while to get it updated to 5.0 I just wanted to thank Lowell Gillbert and Bob Collins for their help. Many thanks!

Problem installing FreeBSD from DVD drive (IBM laptop)
Hi! I tried (many many times) to install Freebsd in my IBM laptop and I had this problem: the laptop doesnt have a floppy drive, it only have one hd and one dvd drive. So, I configured the BIOS to boot from DVD drive, then HD. when I turned the laptop on with the BSD cd rom on it, it started the Free BSD install program. Then, the problem: it didnt recognize that the DVD rive was d: and tried to guess wich device to install from. It couldnt guess the right device, so, it tried to start installation from default disk0, wich was (by mistake) recognized as A:. I tried many different BIOs settings, but nothing changed. One thing that I noticed is that Windows also thinks taht my laptop have a A: drive (it appears on windows GUI). My laptop is a IBM 600E, with PII processor, 128MB RAM and 6.4GB HD. I does have a special IBM exclusive BIOS, and also smething like Doctor DOS (it showed up when I tried to install WinME in the empty HD). So, I'm stuck with this now... Its really bad, because I bought the laptop 1 week ago only to use FreeBSD (I had to instal Windows so it's easier to use the University network). I hope you guys can help me, I head good things about you! Thanks in asvance, and sorry for my bad English.

I cannot put anything of your config into the loader.conf, because I cannot install the SO. I try with this config at the boot stage, with the set command. Please, any idea? Help me please. Did you install the motherboard. The ATA-100 cables have a blue (azul) connector and a black (negro). On my cables, the blue goes into the socket on the motherboard. I have some ATA-133 cables with ~green (verde) and negro. The negro connector HD. If you have the wrong color in socket on mother board, you will have problemas gigante. Also make sure your cables including power are pushed in all of the way. Maxtor doesn't always setup their HDs as standalone masters. I don't know what Seagate does. I have only used Seagate Baracuda scsis. Check your setup jumpers. FreeBSD does not like HDs setup as standalone slaves. Thank you very much for your help at this momments.

Don't connect your CDROM on the same controller as your HD. What do you have in your /boot/loader.conf. The following are possible. ruby# m loader.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # userconfig_script_load=YES hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 ruby# sysctl -a | grep hw.ata hw.ata.ata_dma: 1 hw.ata.wc: 1 hw.ata.tags: 0 hw.ata.atapi_dma: 1 BTW, I have one of those motherboards but haven't tried to replace my gateway with it. I have 4 machines with SIS-645. I have a Gigabyte Titan 667 Series motherboard on my Celeron @ 1800. The model of the motherboard is GA-8ST667. The dmesg output includes the following: % dmesg | grep -i sis atapci0: SiS 5591 ATA33 controller port 0xf000-0xf00f at device 2.5 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 pcm0: SiS 7012 port 0xe400-0xe47f,0xe000-0xe0ff irq 10 at device 2.7 on pci0 ohci0: SiS 5571 USB controller mem 0xef001000-0xef001fff irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci0 usb0: SiS 5571 USB controller on ohci0 uhub0: SiS OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 ohci1: SiS 5571 USB controller mem 0xef002000-0xef002fff irq 9 at device 3.1 on pci0 usb1: SiS 5571 USB controller on ohci1 uhub1: SiS OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 ohci2: SiS 5571 USB controller mem 0xef003000-0xef003fff irq 7 at device 3.2 on pci0 usb2: SiS 5571 USB controller on ohci2 uhub2: SiS OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 I could only boot my installed -CURRENT by disabling hw.ata.atapi_dma :/ Try setting hw.ata.ata_dma=0 and hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 at the loader prompt, and see if you can at least boot your system.

Serious problem installing freebsd into a...
Hi!! My name is Manuel Trujillo, from Spain. First, I will apologize about my english... sorry :( Well, I use freebsd since february-2002, and I'm very happy with it. But my problem is now, when I change my pc hardware. I've a SIS 648 MAX motherboard, whit the SIS648 driver, a Seagate 80Gb 7200 rpm hard drive, Creative nvidia Ti4400 and a Pentium 4 2'4Mhz with 533 fsb. Well, when I try to install freebsd in it, I obtain this message: ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting ata0: resetting devices... I cleared any conflict into kernel installation with the configure kernel in visual mode, but is the same :( I try something like the disable pciide into the openbsd, but don't work correctly. I was read the documentation (handbook), and I looked any cloud via Google, but my quest was unfruitful. I'm desesperate, because I don't want to install any other OS (maybe openbsd) and I don't want to install linux. I want FreeBSD. Please, help me please... -- (Acentos y enyes han sido omitidos intencionadamente por el uso de un teclado ingles) Have a nice day :-) TooManySecrets To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Are you positive that all of the BIOS settings and cables are set properly? Nathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
