Re: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b

2009-09-15 Thread Jin Guojun
dd 1m zero on the drive and rerun the 8.0Beta4 DVD. Created two slices S1 and 
S2,
and did auto labling (unix partiton) on S1, hit W, the problem persists.

Boot system with freeBSD 6.4, and 6.4 sees two slices (MBR partitions) S1 and 
S2, 
but no any Unix partition (ad0s1a, ad0s1b etc) on S1.

Boot back to 8.0-Beta4, it still sees not Slice created. 
At this point, it is obviously that 8.0 looks in a wrong MBR location --
8.0 created slices can be seen by 6.4 but not 8.0 itself.

 No, I don't think so! But such a problem may arise if your
 disk had been
 installed as dangerously dedicated in a former version.
 Unfortunately,
 previous versions of sysinstall have created uncorrect
 labels, and the
 new gpart in 8.0 does not see them.
 
 In that case, you have to boot kernel.old and wipe out the
 bad label. If
 you reboot with a 7.2 kernel, can you see your missing
 partitions?

panic: UMA: page_free used with invalid flags 4

2009-09-15 Thread Tim Chen
Hello,
My server was using FreeBSD-7-Stable and performing
a mail server. Software I used is postfix 2.6.3
and dovecot 1.2.4.

The hardware is IBM blade server HS-21
CPU: dual Intel E5335 @ 2.00GHz
MEM: 3G
HD: onboard LSI RAID controller with 2 73G SAS HD.
(mpt0: LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter)
The system is very stable until last week. After
csup the FreeBSD-7-STABLE source to around 2009/09/10,
it will halt randomly around every several hours. The
error message I saw  on console was the following:

panic: UMA: page_free used with invalid flags 4
cpuid = 0
Uptime: 3h1m14s
Physical memory: 3064MB
Dumping 1544MB: 1529 1513 1497

Reading freebsd-stable mailing shows there is some
vm related modfication during the first week of Sep.
(the panic: vm_phys_paddr_to_vm_page: paddr 0x series)
So, I csup my src back to 2009/09/01, the problem
disappeared, and system comes back with stable state.

Today, I csup my src to latest 7-STABLE (2009/09/15)
and problem comes again. It seems the problem is still
there and not be solved yet.

Would you please help to fix it?

Thanks very much.

Sincerely,
Tim Chen

Hi!

 I had the same problem with beta4:
 
 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-September/011470.html
 
 and I tried this fix, and it did not solve the problem.
 
 It might be related with the number of slices and partitions one
 is creating ? I'll try this again today.

Tested it, no, it does not solve the problem.

Is there anything I can do to debug this ?

I think I can provide remote console access if necessary.
I'll try the LiveCD, too.

The same thing happened to me under VMWare Workstation, when I  
installed FreeBSD 8.0-BETA4 on a (virtual) disk connected to a  
(virtual) LSI SAS adaptor. Installing on a IDE disk worked around the  
problem. It happened with the i386 as well as the amd64 version.

Well, now it no longer boots disc 1 but does boot the live fs.   
Reinstalled, but now I am getting a bunch of disk errors (SCSI) so I

That might be.
I have tried this with:

1) amd64 beta3 and beta4 using the downloaded DVD images
2) 7.1/7.2 using the installation CD from the set sold by
FreeBSD Mall.

I also tried on several sets of hardware: SCSI, IDE, SATA.  The
number of disks and number of slices and partitions per disk had no
effect. 
(1) always failed; (2) succeeded.  (Fruitlessly, since the
specification was for a clean install of 8.0 code and I had to wipe
and try (1) again.)

You can use rc_debug or rc_info in your rc.conf

rc_debug  (bool) If set to ``YES'', enable output of debug messages

Source level upgrade from 4.9 to CURRENT..

2009-09-15 Thread Rom Albuquerque



 Hi folks. Need help in doing the following, but first want to check 
and see if it is feasible with the latest Release, or if I'm just going to 
be spinning my wheels on this one. 

The Objective.
==

 I have a FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE system which I want to upgrade to 7.X 
from the source level. Had a bunch of problems installing 7.1-RELEASE from 
the CD distribution I got from freebsdmall.com. Several problems that 
could not mount the CD at the time of installation causing sysinstall
to halt. So, 4.9 is installed and working, is there a source level
backward compatibility issue between 7.x and anything older than 6.0 ?
In other words, upgrading from the sources with such an old
distribution is a doable task ?  


Your response is greatly appreciated. 

Many thanks.

I recently upgraded lots of hosts from 4.10  4.11  5  6 to 7.2,
So many to keep track I needed my 
http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/txt/upgrade.html

I `just' moved in the binaries from CD alongside, flipped the directory
contents, rebooted, then built new custom kernels  make world  rebuilt
ports.
But I didnt do some cross compile from 4 to 7, too much like hard work that!

So quite possible to upgrade without repartitioning disc
 reloading data.  But you might want a bigger root. You might want
a newer FFS for performance (can't remember when that came in).
... there'll doubtless be a few other `Gotchas' so if you have problems/
not enough experience/ get stuck. the safe way is a back up,  reinstall.
Well, a back up's not exactly a foolish precaution anyway ;-)

Good luck.

Nope, this was removed, apparently.  A pity, since this was very useful
information during boot time.  However, setting rc_debug will give you
enormous gobs of useless info (unless you're debugging rc scripts), and
rc_info doesn't seem to add much anymore, if anything.

Re: Source level upgrade from 4.9 to CURRENT..

 to halt. So, 4.9 is installed and working, is there a source level
 backward compatibility issue between 7.x and anything older than 6.0 ?
 In other words, upgrading from the sources with such an old
 distribution is a doable task ?  

It's doable, in that many of us have indeed upgraded through
those control points with source, but it can't necessarily be
done in one step.

Is it worth trying to do in multiple steps?  Maybe not: you'll
almost certainly want a larger root partition, and may very well
want to change to UFS2, both of which mean that you're going to
have to dump to backup, repartition, reformat and restore at
some stage (and that stage is one of the intermediate stops,
because you don't have UFS2 in 4.9).

So: you're going to need to be able to boot from the 7.2 (or
whatever) kernel+fixit combination to do the reformat anyway, so
why not go the whole hog and reinstall directly to 7.2 (or so)
at the same time?  That's what I did when I hit the UFS2
barrier, and I'm otherwise a died-in-the-wool source upgrader.
If you're having trouble getting 7.1 to boot from CD, then try
7.2 or otherwise sort out that problem, because not having a
bootable CD fallback position is not a comfortable place to be,
anyway.
