MSI mentions... 6 SATA II (1~6) ports by NVIDIA® GeForce 8200 Series SATAII 1~6 support RAID 0/1/0+1/5 or JBOD mode by NVIDIA® GeForce 8200 Series RocketRAID appears to be a type of PCI card RAID controller, which I don't have. I'm very confused why FreeBSD uses the HPT RocketRAID controller driver v1.1 on boot. Also, isn't the NVIDIA chipset supposed to be supported by FreeBSD? I have a USB boot of FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. I put hptrr_load=YES in the /boot/loader.conf file. But, I haven't tried it yet (I'm at work at the moment). Is there anything else to try? What about getting FreeBSD to not use RocketRAID?

The funny thing is, I've tried turning off all RAID functionality in the BIOS. On my mobo, this entails setting it to IDE mode, instead of RAID or AHCI. That doesn't appear to do anything. I'm at my wit's end with this. I tried FreeBSD in every way I know how, and they all hang. I tried CentOS and it hung. I even tried Windows Vista Ultimate. It didn't hang, but it found no storage devices. That led me to a train of thought. This board has 6 SATA ports on it, and in the BIOS it has 3 settings for them -- IDE, RAID or AHCI. When I put it into IDE mode, it shows me each disk as an individual device, but all of the OS'es fail to recognize them. When I put it into RAID mode, it recognizes each disk as a SATA device and offers me the RAID options (F10) on bootup. When I put it into AHCI mode, nothing at all is recognized. Furthermore, I was reading in the board's manual that to load Windows XP or Vista, a special driver diskette is required for Windows to recognize the storage volumes. This leads me to believe that the only way this board knows how to handle SATA disks is to use RAID mode, and the only way for an OS to recognize the RAID volume is to have a driver pre-loaded before the OS. For OS'es like FreeBSD and CentOS this is very difficult, even if such a driver exists. Unless somebody can correct me for being way off base, my conclusion can only be that this board cannot support a Unix/Linux operating system, and even with Windows it's extremely difficult. I'm now considering returning this board and suffering the dreaded 15% restocking fee. Can anyone suggest a motherboard that is FreeBSD friendly? I need it to support 4 cores with the AM2+ socket (either that, or I need to return my chip too) and be a full ATX board with 4 DDR2 ram slots. On board VGA would be nice too, but I suppose I can buy a VGA card. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FreeBSD-7-load-hangs-on-boot-tp21039625p21047496.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

system hangs on boot up if no internet available
I setup a FreeBSD server (v 6.1) for my company as a simple Samba server. It works fine. Except once in awhile our access to the outside internet goes out (due to our ISP), and when it does the FreeBSD server gets hung up, even after rebooted. This happened this morning, so I put a console on it, and rebooted it. I saw that it gets hung trying to start sshd. No error messages are given. If I hit Control-C, to skip loading sshd, then the rest of the boot-up goes normally and people can again access the server. Any ideas how I can avoid this problem? I'd rather not skip the loading of sshd. I don't have any special programs on the server that contact the outside world.

Re: FreeBSD 5.5 hangs on boot when pluging mouse/Intel Gigabit
Hi, I am in process of upgrading a serie of servers from 4.11 to 5.5 (and them 6.2). I am on the 5.5 phase. I did 2 machines sucessfully.

6.1 hangs at boot, sata raid controller unsupported?
Hi, I have had this problem since I tried to install 6.0 on my desktop workstation, and even in 6.1, which has improved SATA RAID support, it persists. Original thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-April/118272.html Problem: FreeBSD hangs when it detects my 120GB Seagate Barracuda drive, attached alone to my onboard Promise FastTrak 376 controller. Everything works perfectly in Windows. No errors, no problems. FreeBSD will only boot in Safe Mode, and then it gives me this: ... ad8: 114473MB Seagate ST3120022A 3.06 at ata4-master PIO4 ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=234441585 ad8: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=234441631 ad8: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (0 retries left) LBA=0 ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=234441644 ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=0 ad8: FAILURE - READ timed out LBA=234441585 ad8: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=0 ... When booting in non-safemode, it just hangs forever at the first line I pasted. I've attached my old dmesg.boot from 6.0. Please help.

sendmail hangs at boot time
Hi, I recently replaced sendmail with qmail on my freebsd 6.0 system, and now tried to revert to sendmail today. I enabled sendmail in rc.conf, made the mailer.conf entries point back to sendmail and deleted aliases.db. Now the system hangs at boot time with the message creating aliases.db from the script /etc/rc.d/sendmail. It apparantly hangs becauses the newaliases command does not return.

NTPD hangs on boot
Hi, Recently did a cvsup and make world procedure, have a couple glitches. NTP will no longer start by enabling it in rc.conf. At each boot I see the starting nptd...and then nothing; the booting process hangs. I have to kill nptd via ctrl-c. Then boot process proceeds normally. I can manually start nptd from the command line, and it starts, runs and syncs up normally. Probably related, after the make world, sendmail also gave me trouble, complaining that it could find file after configuration file (all of which existed). Then it would inform me that Recipient names must be specified as if I was trying to use sendmail to send a message. I screwed around with this for a while, to no avail, then just installed postfix 'cause I missed my mail server too much. That fixed the issue with sendmail hanging up the boot. Any clues to what I might have done wrong, or neglected to do? I'm puzzled, have man'd, googled, and not found much... /ed ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In my experience, ntp hanging on boot usually means the network is down and/or DNS isn't working properly. The AMD automounter does the same thing. My usual workaround it to boot into single user mode, and add exit commands to the startup scripts for ntp and amd so they don't attempt to start. Once I have everything on the network working, most particularly DNS, then I remove these exit commands. On machines running SYSV scripts (e.g. OpenPKG.org things on FreeBSD) that aren't generally on the network, I put an exit immediately after the ``start'' case where I can comment it out to start the service when on the network. This allows the ``stop'' function to work properly if the service is running, preventing locking problems that might occur if the exit were at the top of the script. -- Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.

cdrom hangs FreeBSD boot
Hi :) I'm using FreeBSD-5.2-RELEASE-p2 and I'm experiencing a very serious problem. When my cdrom is connected (slave on first IDE slot), FreeBSD hangs on boot at: Timecounter TSC frequency 2399937676 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec There's no error, no panic, no messages whatsoever, it just stays like this and stop booting. I set IDE1/slave to NONE is my bios, so the cdrom would not be discovered on boot (temporary solution until it works), but I get the same problem... it just hangs. For now, the only solution is to unplug the cdrom... :( Just to make sure this was not hardware related, Linux and Windows boot fine on the same box with the cdrom pluged-in. FreeBSD also boots fine when the cdrom is alone (slave or master) on its IDE slot. If you have any idea I would really appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Re: freebsd 4.8-STABLE hangs on boot with no error message
I'm running freebsd 4.8-STABLE, I installed it a little while ago and it has been running fine as my broadband router for a few weeks now, no problems. This morning there was a powercut, and when I came to the machine and attached a monitor, I discovered that it was making it through the BIOS, getting to the spinning -\|/-\|/ prompt, where it freezes on the first | every time. Uh-oh. That's bad. That shows the system is trying and failing to read the kernel from your hard drive. If so, first thing to try is running fsck on your root partition: # fsck -y /dev/ad0s1a Thought I'd just reply to say how this one panned out in case it helps anyone trawling the archives in the future: I booted off the CD, ran fsck, got bad super block messages. Unable to fix it by recommended methods, I was becoming frustrated and came close to wiping the disk for a reinstall. Instead I put it in one of my other machines, and it booted my system fine. Then into a third machine, that worked fine as well. Once it was clear that the disk was not the cause of the problem, I began to poke around a lot in the BSD machine, and eventually found that what had happened was that the powercut had caused the CMOS to flip the type option for my hard disk from normal to auto (not really a noticeable difference imho!), changing this back meant it worked fine again. So just one of those random incidents really! Thanks for the help given :) Neil. Download Yahoo!

Can you boot to single user mode from Disk2 of the 4 CD set? (Alternately, you can use the install and fixit floppy images from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.8-RELEASE/floppies/) If so, first thing to try is running fsck on your root partition: # fsck -y /dev/ad0s1a (Assuming you're using IDE disks and you've got FreeBSD installed into the first slice -- adjust as necessary) If you can fsck the filesystem, then try mounting it: # mount -t ufs -o rw /dev/ad0s1a /mnt If you can get this far, then you're in fairly good shape and can probably recover the system without doing a full restore-from-backup. If not, then it seems that you've had a really bad disk crash: at best you'll be able to reinstall and things will work well enough. At worst, the disk is completely toast. If you can access the drive, then check that you've got a kernel image available on the drive (/kernel would be good, or /kernel.old or /kernel.GENERIC). If necessary try copying the kernel image from the CD. Once you've got that far, try booting again from your hard drive. Once you've got the system booting up again, then going through a full buildworld cycle would be a good idea.

I've had problems with a different Omnibook model hanging while probing AGP. The AGP support was added around then, so this might be your problem too. The way I got around it was by loading on an earlier release and updating from source (but not including 'device agp' in my kernel config, naturally). I haven't submitted a problem report because I can't prove that anyone else has the same problem, and after all my hardware *could* be dodgy. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
5.1 Hangs on boot (Entropy harvesting)SOLVED
Hi everybody. I think I found what caused the problem with my FreeBSD 5.1 desktop hanging at Entropy harvesting. Rebuilt with GENERIC kernel and everything went smooth. In my CUSTOM kernel I had enabled IPFILTER and IPFIREWALL, but no rules for IPFILTER. When I removed the lines concerning ipfilter, the problem went away. Why ? I don't know :-) It was not configured with default to block.

Connected to Internet via adsl and a FreeBSD 4.8 NAT Gateway-box. uname -a FreeBSD thor.swedehost.com 5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0: Sat Jul 26 16:35:38 CEST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/THOR i386 Stopping at Entropy harvesting. I have to press CTRL+C to continue booting. Then everything works as it's supposed to. ( I think ? ) Frankly, I don't have a clue on what I'm doing, but I've disabled ACPI in my /boot/device.hints file to get my floppy drive to work, and I've commented out all SCSI devices exept device scbus, and all Raid in my kernel, because I don't have any. Snip from bootmessage Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s3a Loading configuration files Entropy harvesting: interrupts ethernet point_to_point /Snip I've tried to find some info about it at : http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/relnotes-i386.html http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/errata.html but I don't seem to get it, (or understand it .-) Any tips, detailed instructions or solutions would be most appriciated.

What OS have you configured in the BIOS via the Compaq System Configuation Utility (SCU)? I've always had to set the host to 'Linux', to get the SMP kernel to not hang. --daxbert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hangs on boot.
Hello. I am using FreeBSD 4.7 right now and was wondering something. In my /etc/rc.conf file I made sendmail_enable=YES sendmail_enable=NO and when I boot the system hands for a few minutes at the most when trying to start the sendmail daemons. Is there a way to stop the system from hanging at boot time? Please Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I can't send e-mails from my POP account to the mailing list for some strange reason) thanks in advance. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

POP is not generally for sending mail. It is typically used to retrieve mail. It sounds like you have a problem with your SMTP server. One thing that kind of hung me up in the past was assuming that I could always use the account smtp.nullplusone.com. It would work fine on some connections, but not when dialed into some isp's. I later learned that you should be using your internet service providers smtp server. For example, lets take AOL. AOL will let you use any SMTP server in the world, with no problems. However when you dial into JoeBlow ISP, you should use something like smtp.joeblow.com.

When I try to send e-mails to the *freebsd mailing lists* from my *SMTP* also *ISP* e-mail account it never makes it to the list.

Please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] to work out your email issues. As for sendmail hanging, this is usually caused because there is no network connection up and running and sendmail is trying to do a reverse-DNS lookup on the local hostname. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
