Installation hangs during Archive extraction phase (9.1)
Hi, Upon trying to install FreeBSD 9.1 on a HP Proliant DL585G5 installation freezes when it comes to the point Archive Extraction while extracting ports. To be specific, the system freezes while extracting ports.txz at 23% with Overal Progress being 29%. First I thought about the installation medium, so I re-burned the installation CD (disc1), tried the DVD-installation, even installing over the network - the machine always freezes when it comes to archive extraction. For the hardware part: HP Proliant DL585G5 128GB RAM 8 HDs a 146GB: two of them in Raid-1, the remainder Raid0 2x onboard LAN: (HP NC371i) 2 addon NIC-cards with 2 ports each (HP NC360T) Harddisk has been set up with GPT, for the test automatic partitioning. Has anybody out there seen this type of problem? If yes, any known cure/hint/??? Thanks much in advance for any clue, -ewald ___ 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

All it does is populate /usr/ports, but you can do that after install using portsnap as documented in the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html): portsnap fetch portsnap extract First I thought about the installation medium, so I re-burned the installation CD (disc1), tried the DVD-installation, even installing over the network - the machine always freezes when it comes to archive extraction.

Now I could finish the installation (which takes like forever (speaking in terms of 2 hours which is pretty strange given the raw power of this machine)) however after rebooting the box behaves weird to say the last: I started out be entering portsnap fetch. Everything runs fine up to the point when I see Verifying snapshot integrity. Then the system completely comes to a grind. After sending the portsnap fetch to the background (^Z) and entering top the machine completely freezes without any indication as to why. I've already done a complete hardware diagnosis - everything OK. Any ideas on how to track this one down?

Don't install ports during installation, try using 8.4 or 9.1BETA1 instead -- Adam Vande More ___ 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
