Hi All,

I tied to install a new FreeBSD-amd-12 system from official USB

installation memstick.img. Auto-UFS (GPT) installs fine and thesystem

boots fine. However, ZFS-Auto install succeeds, but is not loaded.

At the very beginning it gives something like "gpt sector XXXXerror,

gpt sector 1 error, can't find zroot..."

Is it a known error / should I give more (precise) errors?

I tried two recent images with the same result:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20170703-r320599-memstick.img
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20170626-r320360-memstick.img


It turned out GPT and zfs are not usable at this machine.
MBR / ZFS works fine.

I'll stick with that.


What type of machine is it?


It's a PC circa 2009 with MB ASUS P5QL/EPU:

WBR, bsam

Of course it really can not be that the BIOS has something againstcombination of GPT+ZFS, but this combination may trigger some sort ofbug/misbehavior. I have seen some pretty weird issues and have work inprocess to have a bit more fool proof approach, but I haven't had timeyet to finalize it properly.


Yep, UFS+GPT works fine here.

Just for archieves: errors for ZFS + GPT

gptzfsboot: error 128 lba 3907027040
gptzfsboot: error 128 lba 1
gptzfsboot: no zfs pools located, can't boot

The disk is:

UEFI is not available at the motherboard.

Namely, what I have found is that in some systems the INT13 ah=08 canresult with unexpected results - error from command reported or diskcount not reported etc - something not really expected. It also mayhave to do about what other devices are there. And also if the systemhas plain BIOS or BIOS emulated on UEFI.

This looks similar to:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144234Please add your information if you think it is the same issue. Or try theworkaround and see if it helps.

Ronald.
