Boot Error v7.4 Install

2013-07-01 Thread Gary Welles
I've been trying for days to install v7.4 from floppies with 
non-bootable CD on an old Intel AltServer platform's Adaptec 
AIC-7870 SCSI.


It's SCSI Software User's Guide offers configuration support 
for Novell Netware, OS/2, Windows NT, SCO Unix, and Novell 
UnixWare with no mention of BSD.


The installation to 16Gb SCSI ID:0 on a Dell PowerEdge 
Scalable Disk Subsystem 100 appears to go well, but always 
results in Boot Error.


Any help would be appreciated, especially directing me to most 
appropriate discussion list/archive.


Tks,
-- Gary

 Try a verbose boot.

I set Verbose ON and put hw.usb.ugen.debug=1 in /boot/loader.conf as
originally ugen(4) driver followed the point of lockup.

This time the log sequence was a little different - the ata(4) driver
followed the point of lockup.

If I understand it correctly, these log messages may be recorded in somewhat
random sequence, so the dmesg output sequence in not 100% reliable.
Anyway, here it is:

you have to boot into single user mode to run fsck on the root partition.

 I was my mistake, gr. I wrote /sbin/ fsck -y and should nbe /sbin/fsck -y

	Once it asks you for your shell in single user mode, you either  
choose it or just press enter for /bin/sh, and then you want to do this:

# mount -o rw /dev/ad0s1a / #mount -a works nicely here too.
# /sbin/fsck /dev/ad0s1a

Be wary of fixing any issues if you don't have softupdates enabled.
	Also, you should fsck any other slices that you had mounted at the  
previous time when the system was improperly shutdown / the  
filesystems improperly dismounted.

Careful with the order of those commands.  You are *NOT* allowed to fsck
a filesystem that has been mounted as read-write.  You also missed an
invocation of adjkerntz, which is pretty much mandatory for getting the
timestamps of files right.

The correct thing to do, would be (comments in parentheses):

# adjkerntz -i  (adjust kernel time)
# fsck -p   (check all filesystems)
# mount -u /(mount root fs as read-write)
# mount -a  (mount all other filesystems)

You can try using the Live CD CD-ROM, to boot into the live
FreeBSD system and try to run fsck on the disk that's failing.

The live CD-ROM is disc2.iso from the release ISO images.  If you
have this CD-ROM, you can boot into sysinstall and choose:

Fixit  =  2 CDROM/DVD

You will then enter a shell that runs from the live CD-ROM, and
be able to run fsck(8) on your disks :-)

I figured it out late last night. I used the install cd to enter fixit 
mode. Mounting the hard drive failed with operation not permitted 
message. fsck failed to complaining about no fstab. After googling I 
finally found the fsck_ffs -y /dev/ad0s1a command which worked for me. 
After that I could mount the hard disk. I made no changes and rebooted 
the system and everything was back to normal.


Thanks for your input.

My question to you all is: How can I see what is going on? FreeBSD 5.4 
and prior used to show the progress on the booting process on screen, 
however FreeBSD 6 hides all that and remains at the options screen until 
the login prompt. Why? That was useful stuff. (But that is a little off 
topic) The basic question is: How do I go about finding the cause of my 
problem?


Thanks in advance

FreeBSD-4.8 is probably too old for SATA. You will probably have to use 
something recent such as 4.11 or 5.3. For a new system, I would use 5.3 
since 4.11 is now considered legacy. I would move up to trying 5.3 
before I worry about why it doesn't boot 4.8.

Boot from a dos floppy, run 3c5x9cfg, turn off plug and play.

Or alternatively, leave pnp on, and set your bios to non pnp OS
if it has that setting.  This doesen't always work.

Be aware the 3c509 needs to be a b version at least (yellow silkscreeing
not white) and even then is a real POS network card for FreeBSD.

I'm not experiencing any disk problems, so is this something I should

I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a HP Cluster Server. But when I boot with the 
CD's ( 4.4, 4.8  5.0 ), it will boot all the way upto Wait 15 seconds for 
SCSI devices to settle and then it immedialty give the following message:

(noperiph:sym1:0:-1:-1):SCSI BUS reset delivered.

After this the machine is basically unresponsive/dead.

Boot Error from BIOS after try to install 5.1-RELEASE

2003-06-12 Thread Carter, Mr. James A.
Greetings List:

After trying to install 5.1-RELEASE from CD (which fails miserably during
the BTX stage), my hard drive stopped booting. When the BIOS reaches my
hard-drive while scanning for bootable devices, it displays the message
Boot Error.

I then inserted a Windows ME  CD and selected Boot From HD. This booted
into System Commander (which is what used to happen automatically).

System Commander detects no errors in the partitions on the hard-drive, and
obviously the MBR is in place (or else SC would not have loaded).

Any ideas on what I fried and how I can fix it? Is there a way to get
FreeBSD to fix the boot sector on my HDD?

Thanks,
James

Thomas:

Thank you for your response. I agree that Windows ME is junk. Until last
night, it was just another coaster.

I had FreeBSD (4.8-Release) replace the MBR by doing fdisk -b and it
didn't work (actually it toasted the MBR). So System Commander replaced the
MBR, but the BIOS still gives me that error.

Boot to a prompt using your Windows ME disk (blah ... the worst version of
Windows EVER).

At the prompt:

fdisk /mbr

Subject: Boot Error from BIOS after try to install 5.1-RELEASE


 Greetings List:

 After trying to install 5.1-RELEASE from CD (which fails miserably during
 the BTX stage), my hard drive stopped booting. When the BIOS reaches my
 hard-drive while scanning for bootable devices, it displays the message
 Boot Error.

 I then inserted a Windows ME  CD and selected Boot From HD. This booted
 into System Commander (which is what used to happen automatically).

 System Commander detects no errors in the partitions on the hard-drive,
and
 obviously the MBR is in place (or else SC would not have loaded).

 Any ideas on what I fried and how I can fix it? Is there a way to get
 FreeBSD to fix the boot sector on my HDD?

 Thanks,
 James

During Boot - error after mounting root

2003-05-31 Thread JOHN HOOVER
guys,

I can't figure out how to get the mailing list search engine to take
this so I'm asking it here.

We had power outage and machine went down, now during boot and after
mounting the root partition the character string '^[[0' appears alot.
The machine still runs and seems ok, but since I can't seem to get a
search engine to take the string anyone got an idea what this is and
if it's fixable without a complete reformat?

Also, would someone please check the MX record and reverse dns for 
ns1.gaiserco.com  207.191.77.178
The FreeBSD lists are refusing to accept mail from here claming that
my hostname can't be found. 

Thanks,
John

this happend to some of my users as a consequence of a virus attack.
he was running window, the mbr and partition table were destroyed...

is your partition table still alive?
is your master boot record still alive?


 Also, would someone please check the MX record and reverse dns for
 ns1.gaiserco.com  207.191.77.178


From Mexico City.

The reverse register does not work:

Isabeau:/home/mrspock host ns1.gaiserco.com
s1.gaiserco.com has address 207.191.77.178
Isabeau:/home/mrspock host 207.191.77.178
Host not found.

Appears where, as an error message, in files?

nslookup
Default Server:  helium.bc.tac.net
Address:  209.53.4.130
 ns1.gaiserco.com
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:ns1.gaiserco.com
Address:  207.191.77.178

 207.191.77.178
*** helium.bc.tac.net can't find 207.191.77.178: Non-existent host/domain

Looks like there is no reverse DNS set up for the IP.

Cheers,

RE: During Boot - error after mounting root

2003-05-31 Thread JOHN HOOVER

The machine is running just fine (best I can tell).
It's a Samba server with internal email, no one's complained about
it not working from the client side.

It did take three or four attempts to get it to boot successfully
after the power outage. But now it boots without any fuss except for
the strings of [O^[[O^[[O^[[O^[[O^[[ after mounting the partitions.

the error is on the console, there not in /var/log/messages or dmesg.

thanks for checking the DNS, it looks fine from here. I'll have another 
look at the files. 

John.

Does the string appear continually or is it only one short string and then
ok? Does it happen if you switch to a different virtual screen?

I bet you have a broken keyboard (zapped during the power outage).

boot error on R5.0

2003-05-29 Thread Kjell Midtseter
When booting the boot sequence ends with:
-
mounting root from ufs: /dev/ad0s1a
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mount root: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6
mountroot
--
When I enter 'ufs:ad0a' after the prompt I get a login prompt.
When I log in as root I receive a '%' prompt, and I
can enter commands etc..

Background:
I want to update my firewall to use the new pf packet filter port. 
This requires FreeBSD 5.0 It is not practical to recompile kernel  world 
on the firewall box. So I do all the work on a more powerfull box and
transfer the new system to a disk that I then move to the firewall
where I then get the above error message.

After building and testing the new system I
- move all required files to directories under /mybsd
- build a disk image with bootstrap and partitioning
- insert my files from /mybsd into the disk image
- use dd to copy the image to the firewall disk

The only difference from FreeBSD 4.x that I can see is that my
/mybsd/dev is not populated. In 4.x I copied MAKEDEV from /dev
to /mybsd/dev and used 'sh MAKEDEV all' to populate my new
/dev 

So what is this rootvp?
