Installation troubles
Hi Daemons, yesterday I tried to install FreeBSD 9 on my 'new' laptop - an IBM X31. Since this model has no CD or floppy drive I copied the memstick-file to such an USB-thing and tried to boot. The laptop freezes when the kernel scans for the UBS-ports, booting impossible. Now my question: can I take the harddisk out, install FreeBSD 9 over another laptop (with the X31-harddisk inside) and put the installed harddrive back to the X31? Is there anything else besides the rc.d-stuff what will/will not get installed if I use the 'wrong' computer? The old hd-cotent will be deleted, the new laptop will only be FreeBSD.

Is there anything else besides the rc.d-stuff what will/will not get installed if I use the 'wrong' computer? I've done this with a very old laptop (where I did install its 2.5 disk using an adapter in a normal PC). After that, booting performed normally. I've also used a 5.4-p12 PATA disk on a system that previously ran 7-STABLE during a data recovery session - it also booted fine, except X didn't come up (xorg.conf had hardcoded S3, system had an ATI card). But the OS never did anything strange. The only issue I say _may_ be boot loading device names (e. g. if the disk will be ad0 in the run-laptop, but ad4 in the install-laptop); using GPT partitioning or labels should avoid this problem. FreeBSD is totally agnostic of this is not the system I've been installed to. Hardware detection will take place when you boot it, _not_ when you install it. After you have installed the OS, see if it properly boots (or if scanning the USB ports causes a kernel lock again). Do any further installs (ports / packages) from the new laptop. It's also worth mentioning that you need to have the capability to run the same architecture (i386 or amd64) on both machines, and use the proper install image (e. g. don't try to install amd64 version of the OS on a system that doesn't run it). :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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 ideas welcome, thank you herb langhans I did this several times before but I used to connect the hard disk via USB. Just get an USB case for the disk. It is much easier this way as you keep one notebook intact. You have to check the drives in fstab and rc.conf. If I remember right the rest was ok.

Re: Installation troubles
Thanks for all the hints - now I have some point to go on. First I try to use 8.2 from the memstick. If that fails I get such a little adapter and install it from a normal PC (using the CD). I'll let you know after my homework is done. Good to know that FreeBSD has some neutral kernel and chooses all drivers when it boots.

On behalf of Eric and myself - since within a 24 hour period we both encountered precisely the same issue: Has anyone else experienced this, and/or is there a known workaround? This is one of two things. Either it's a symptom of your ports tree not being up to date. Maybe that's because the PDF-Lite developers have released a new version and for whatever reason, deleted the old one from their servers, and the ports tree simply hasn't caught up with the change yet. Maybe it's because you haven't been cvsup'ing the ports tree successfully, or maybe it's because the ports tree and the INDEX are out of synch. The other possibility is that you are trying to update a port, and you've got an up-to-date INDEX but that you haven't upgraded the dependencies first. The port version is currently at 6.0.1 -- but according to http://www.freshports.org/print/pdflib that update happened on 11th December 2004. As there hasn't been a month's worth of angry messages demanding why doesn't this work?, it would seem that the problem is something you're doing wrong when updating. Note that it is not actually possible for one port to depend arbitrarily on a specific version of another one: in the cases where this is necessary, the usual practice is to create a whole separate port for the appropriate version of the dependency software. That isn't the case here. databases/phpMyAdmin depends on print/pecl-pdflib, which in turn depends on print/pdflib -- any of which ports can and will be updated as newer versions become available. The assumption and the only way ports are tested when updates are committed is that everything the port depends on is fully up to date with respect to the ports tree. That's why tools like portupgrade were developed initially: to make it easy to update systematically, updating the dependency ports before the dependent ports.

You could use the ports, build from source, or use binaries. In my opinion, the quickest way to get things up and running is using the binaries. First, go here: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html Second, download the first file from the FreeBSD downloads section ( Standard 4.0.18 9.4M ) Third, in the directory where you downloaded the file run this command, tar zxvf mysql-standard-4.0.18-unknown-freebsd4.7-i386.tar.gz Fourth, cd into the newly created directory and read the INSTALL-BINARY text file, that should give you what you need.

Would I run into this same issue with a supported IDE raid card? Since this will be a mission critical server (mail server w/imap) we don't want to lose any time because of drive failures. The raid card is listed as being supported at the site. Leaving the raid card in while installing FBSD on IDE drive should work also.

Check your system bio's and turn off virus boot detection. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of michael Alexander Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 5:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Installation troubles Hi, I am trying to install FreeBSD (have tried 4.9, and the 5.1 ISO's) It hangs at: Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle My hardware: Intel NA440BX MB, 512MB ram, dual PIII 350 processors Mylex Acceleraid 250(DAC960) Latest bios/firmware downloaded and installed on both MB and Raid card last week. ISO's downloaded last week as well. I know the raid card works, I had netware installed on the machine prior to moving it to new hardware. If there was an option to install unlisted drivers at the initial setup screen, where I am suppose to remove drivers that do not apply, then I might be able to continue on and get this installed. I selected FreeBSD because it seemed to be abit more up to date with releases of other software we would be running (Sendmail 8.12.10, etc) Any suggestions where to begin troubleshooting the install? I did download the latest drivers for the card as well, but all the install instructions I've found assume there is already a working FreeBSD system, which I do not have. (FWIW, Redhat 9 also is failing to install, it locks up loading its DAC960 driver -never even gets to any sort of config) Thank you, Mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
