Re: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b
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. --- On Mon, 9/14/09, Thierry Thomas thie...@freebsd.org wrote: From: Thierry Thomas thie...@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b To: Jin Guojun jguo...@sbcglobal.net Cc: b...@freebsd.org, freebsd-stable@freebsd.org, curr...@freebsd.org Date: Monday, September 14, 2009, 10:06 PM Le Lun 14 sep 09 à 23:08:53 +0200, Jin Guojun jguo...@sbcglobal.net écrivait : I do not enve know how to make dangerously dedicated disk, and the 8.0 may do this sliently.

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 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.

Re: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b
It seems that disklabel is the problem spot. Use 8.0 Partition menu to allocate 2 slices (partitions) 20GB for S1 and rest for S2, then install 8.0-Beta4 on S1. W command in slice (Partition) menu succeed with bootloader manager installing option (Choose FreeBSD), but W command in Label menu had the same error -- Unable to find device node ... After quite installationm and restart the system, the bootloader is still show old partitions (S1 DOS, S2/S3 7.2). Boot 8.0-Beta4 DVD again, and Partition menu shows no partition at all (no slice allocated). This indicates that disklabel did not correctly write disk partition information on to the dirve. --- On Mon, 9/14/09, Robert Huff roberth...@rcn.com wrote: From: Robert Huff roberth...@rcn.com Subject: Re: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b To: Jin Guojun jguo...@sbcglobal.net Cc: Robert Huff roberth...@rcn.com, curr...@freebsd.org, b...@freebsd.org, freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Date: Monday, September 14, 2009, 3:49 AM Jin Guojun writes: Did not find anything from current, but found the same problem has been reported in earlier releases in those archives, and the latest was May 2009: Try this (for the fix) : http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-September/011254.html Robert Huff ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b
I do not enve know how to make dangerously dedicated disk, and the 8.0 may do
this sliently.
ad0 had three DOS partitions (slices),
S1 for DOS
S2 for FreeBSD 7.2
S3 for another FreeBSD
When boot to 8.0-Beta{3, 4}, 8.0 sees not partition, which means 8.0 looked at
a wrong location for partition table.
After did partition (slices S1 for FreebSD and S2 for nothing) and
Label (Unix partitions, failed to find device node /dev/ad0s1b in /dev),
content of 7.2 is gone.
But, the original partitions are still in the MBR (S1 for DOS, and S2 and S3
for FreeBSD).

This term refers to a disk where no DOS primary partition,
i. e. a slice, has been created. Usually, for a disk with
only FreeBSD on it, you first take a disk
/dev/ad0
create a slice
/dev/ad0s1
and put partitions into it (or just one partition), like
/dev/ad0s1a = /
/dev/ad0s1b = swap
/dev/ad0s1d = /tmo
/dev/ad0s1e = /var
/dev/ad0s1f = /usr
/dev/ad0s1g = /home
or something similar. In dangerously dedicated mode, you
omit the slice creation and create the partitions on the
disk device /dev/ad0, so you end up with
/dev/ad0a = /
/dev/ad0b = swap
/dev/ad0d = /tmo
/dev/ad0e = /var
/dev/ad0f = /usr
/dev/ad0g = /home
Using such mode is common for data disks, but not for disks
you boot from.
ad0 had three DOS partitions (slices),
S1 for DOS
S2 for FreeBSD 7.2
S3 for another FreeBSD
When boot to 8.0-Beta{3, 4}, 8.0 sees not partition, which means
8.0 looked at a wrong location for partition table.
What does the fdisk command report?
After did partition (slices S1 for FreebSD and S2 for nothing) and
Label (Unix partitions, failed to find device node /dev/ad0s1b in /dev),
content of 7.2 is gone.
Seems to be correct up to here; /dev/ad0s1b refers to the swap
partition.
But, the original partitions are still in the MBR (S1 for DOS, and
S2 and S3 for FreeBSD).
So an update of the MBR hasn't taken place?

8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b
Tried to install from both 8.0-BETA{3, 4}-i386-dvd1.iso on a Phenom 9600
system and having
some disk problems.
The system is running 6.x and/or 7.2 FreeBSD (on different drives).
Disconnected rest drives and only left 7.2 drive in.
ad0: 76319MB Seagate ST3802110A 3.AAJ at ata0-master UDMA100
Boot 8.0-BETA3-i386-dvd1.iso and sees no partition at all on the 7.2 disk.
Boot back to 7.2 and everything works fine, so system has no hardware
problem.
Boot 8.0-BETA3-i386-dvd1.iso again, still sees no partition, so
reconfigured partition with
autoconfigure - A
512M for / on /dev/ad0s1a
about 4G for swap on /dev/ad0s1b
about 2.2G on /var
512M for /tmp
rest spaces are for /usr
After commit, installation says --
Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev
The Creation of file system will abort.
OK
[Press enter or space]
Hit CR and see some other errors, then back to installation menu.
Reboot the system, 7.2 is gone.
Download 8.0-BETA4-i386-dvd1.iso and burned another DVD, also did verify
between DVD and ISO for OK.
Run installation from Beta4 DVD, the same problem presents again.
If my memory is correct, either 8.0-Beta1 or one version earlier than it
was working on this machine.
Is anything changed that requires different installation procedure? or
is this a bug introduced recently?

Re: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b
Did not find anything from current, but found the same problem has been
reported in earlier releases in those archives, and the latest was May 2009:
* Rambler: FreeBSD mail archives search
* MarkMail: FreeBSD mail archives search
Two directly related to 8.0 was on Mar 25, 2009. One failure was due to the
FreeBSD is on the second slice, which sound liek a bug; but the other is not
clear.
In my case, FreeBSD is on the first slice, so it is not the same problem.
From 8.0-Beta{3, 4} cannot recognize FreeBSD 7.2 partition tables, it looks
like that there is a disklable and/or partition related problem in 8.0-Beta.
