Hm .. from the -v output it looks like the first ATA channel is not
resetting properly for the probe. We'll need to get a better idea of when
the problem appears since a lot has changed between January and now.
Doug,
I compared the output of "boot -v" for the working and broken kernels.
It seems that the broken one does fewer loops around the disk probe and
hence has less lines of
ata0-master: stat=0x90 err=0x90 lsb=0x90 msb=0x90
than the one that works. Since that line comes from ata-lowlevel.c, I
cvs'ed versions of that file going back to around when I built the
working kernel. The following seems to be the change that broke it.

Re: buggy ATA controller: I can install 4.11, but not 5.3 !?!
Rob, I think you may be on to something here. Not that I'm an expert, BTW. If I remember correctly, 4.11 doesn't use device.hints; device irq's and stuff were all included in the kernel configuration. This is no longer the case with 5.x which uses /boot/device.hints to tell where attached devices are. But how does one edit device.hints on a boot cd?

First of all, I'm not expert in these matters. I'm just curious why I can install 4.11, but not 5.3. (I wish I could install 5.3 !!). Indeed, the BIOS is a strange issue. In the BIOS setup, I can select 1) Standard CHS 2) Logical block 3) Extended CHS, 4) Auto Detected But whatever I select here, when I get back into the the BIOS setup, to verify check my settings, I find that 1) is selected. Apparently this is what means "disabled by BIOS", but I'm not sure. The 4.11 dmesg output has following: CPU: Pentium/P5 (55.18-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x517 Stepping = 7 Features=0x1bf -//- atapci0: at device 1.0 on pci0 atapci0: ATA channel disabled by BIOS -//- ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq 14 on isa0 ata1 at port 0x170-0x177,0x376 irq 15 on isa0 -//- ad0: 520MB [1057/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSPIO Notice that the harddisks are on isa0, not on atapci0; probably because of this buggy chip and/or BIOS problem. Could it be that 5.3 install cannot (yet?) handle harddisks on isa properly? Or must I help 5.3 by setting some hints/syscontrols before loading the kernel? Thanks, Rob. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

5.4Pre sched_ule SMP XOrg hangs or reboots
Hi, i have become fascinated with getting sched_ule to run reliably, and I've been running tests with about 8 different configurations. I've listed some of them and the results at my website, at http://noogenesis/freebsd/testing_ule, the index html for which I've also attached to this email. I have not yet succeeded in getting a core dump from the kernel, any advice on coaxing a kernel panic instead of a hang so that a core dump can be obtained, let me know. The score is this, I get a hard hang (capslock/numlock do not respond, can't ping) when running XOrg, always after loading the program nicotine (ports/net/nicotine), which is a python/gtk2 program. Sometimes, it has done a sudden reboot instead of a hang, and I haven't had much luck reproducing these results with any other program in X reliably. Also, I have not had any hang at all when not running X. As far as testing goes, ive generally recompiled the kernel with -j8 as a stress test, without XOrg, and have had no problems with any configuration. So the bug on my system involving sched_ule seems to be brought out by something nicotine is doing within the first minute or so of loading up. I do think that nicotine uses gdk threads, which use the posix threads, so the connection could be there... I'm going to continue to search/test things as I think of them, but any advice as to what to check next would be helpful. One thing that my results there don't list is the following: Never had a crash or hang with SMP disabled (even with sched_ule enabled). Also never had a crash or hang with sched_4bsd and SMP enabled. My system is a Tyan Tiger MP motherboard with dual athlon MPs. Any other information that you might find helpful to know, let me know. Also: what other email lists should I post this too, if any? Should I make this into a problem report? sched_ule is already known to have problems... ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This is intentional. authpf is not an interactive shell, it is simply for

A bit more investigation shows it's panic'ing with "privileged instruction in non-priviliged mode" in what appears to be lseek(). This may or may not be related to the DMA TIMEOUT problem as I didn't see any timeouts before any of the panics I've witnessed. A bit more reading around suggests that the timeout issue is strongly related to my SI3112 SATA controller so I'm thinking of changing it; can anyone please recommend an SATA controller they're using which hasn't given them any problems?

All help appreciated as currently my desktop is becoming unusable and I fear for the safety of my data with the sheer number of panics being generated by disk use :) ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well, you said that you "get to the point where FDISK should start,". If this is correct, you are already in the install menu. And, if you are, you can press "scroll lock" when the install menu comes up, and then you can use page up / page down to scroll through the console messages (you can probably use the arrow keys as well). -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That's not the issue here. Of course I stick with 4.11; I don't have a choice. With this email, I want to report that this problem is 'solved' by 4.11 and prior, but not anymore in 5.3.

buggy ATA controller: I can install 4.11, but not 5.3 !?!
Hi, I have a very old Pentium-1 PC (60 MHz). I have installed 4.11, without any problems, although the dmesg output has a line about buggy ATA controller (see below for dmesg output). When I try to install 5.3 in this PC (using the three floppies), I get to the point where FDISK should start, but instead I get an error message that says something like "No disk is found". Any ideas why 4.11 can handle this, but 5.3 cannot? Moreover, 4.11 seems to be running fine on this PC. Regards, Rob. 'dmesg' output after 4.11 installation: CPU: Pentium/P5 (58.18-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x517 Stepping = 7 Features=0x1bf real memory = 25165824 (24576K bytes) avail memory = 19152896 (18704K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc055c000.
