Excuse me!  I fixed boot -a, and you came rushing in and said that
the boot code could use the same thing, so obviously I expected
you to do that, since the boot code is your baby...

I don't even know where to look for the cookies left by the bootcode...

The loader is fine; the problem is just that Poul never finished fixing 
the mountroot code.  All the loader does is read /etc/fstab and pass in 
the entry for /.  It's up to the kernel to work it out from there, and 
that's where it's falling down.

Define "correct" then please, it doesn't work for my definition...

-Current as of aug 21th...

If I have this in my fstab:

/dev/ad0a   /   ufs rw  1   1
/dev/ad0f   /usrufs rw  2   2
/dev/ad0e   /varufs rw  2   2

And have NO wd* entries in /dev, it says on boot:

Changing root device to wd0s1a
Changing root device to wd0a
...
mount: /dev/ad0a on / special device does not match mounted device.

Bummer!

If however I have a /dev/wd0a it will mount that and show that in
a mount/df command, but then it doesn't fit what it is written in
/etc/fstab and that is bogus too...

So I still stick with my statement that the -current bootblocks/loader
doesn't have the computrons needed to use the ad device (or any non
wd/da/fd device for that matter) for anything usefull :)

This should now be totally redundant as long as your /etc/fstab entry 
is correct.

RE: ATA - Trouble mounting secondary master

1999-08-11 Thread Geoff Rehmet

I just rebooted on an August 11 kernel.  My system
still is happy with the disks.  Hmm.

I can't remember exactly where my tracing went, before I
left off before, but the message you are seeing comes from
/sys/i386/isa/diskslice_machdep.c, line 200 (version 1.35).

What you will probably find, is that if you put a line that
goes:

goto reread_mbr

instead of "goto done", you will find that, on the second
attempt, it reads the mbr successfully.
The above is a severe kludge, and that is why I never committed
any code to do anything of the sort.  I think the error is
actually somewhere in the ATA code (sorry Soren).  I don't
want to patch around a bug.

Now somebody remarked that after the probe, a drive status
light stayed on - maybe, the probe is not doing something
properly for some drives, or there is somethign timing out.

More on this.  
I just booted with -v and now when I do the first dd I see:
  ad0: invalid primary partition table: no magic
and the same on ad2 when the swapon fails.  

So how do I get the magic back into my relationship with my drives?

I tried with the ad dev entries for my problem as well with no
improvement.  I've also tried using: 
  dd if=/dev/ad0s6 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1
as the first access to one of the failing drives (ad0).  
The first dd fails with device not configured, but any subsequent
access works fine. It seems it's left in an odd state by the driver
start up, but all it takes is a read to get it sorted out again.

Any thoughts on how we can help debug this?

Our boot blocks/loader dont have the needed computrons to use the
"ad" device name. However I have some patches to boot2 that allows
to boot off an ad root device, provided you dont use the loader, and
put the rigth boot string in boot.config.

Hmm, damn, after the problem went away for Geoff I thought it to be
solved since I've never heard of it anywhere else, and I cant reproduce
it here no matter what I try.
Does it help eany if you only has the root partition use the wd dev
and have the rest use the prober ad dev entries ?? It could be some
artifact from this...

Hmm,

I had exactly the same problem, although it manifested itself with a
secondary master or slave.  It went away a few weeks ago, and I
was never able to make any sensible progress in tracking the problem
down.
It appears to occur when the partition table is read.  Something
times out, and the real partition table values are not read.
The second time you read the disk, everything works.

For a while, I had the line

disklabel /dev/rad2s1a 2>&1 > /dev/null

in my rc file :-).  This was enough to kick the disk past the
initial problem.  (Not the right thing to do, but it allowed me
to reboot without hitting single user mode.)

Geoff.

Re: ATA - Trouble mounting secondary master

1999-08-10 Thread Brian McGroarty

Also of interest -

I have a seperate access light for each of my drives, as they're
in removable bays.

I notice the access light for the secondary master remaining on
after the kernel driver has done its scanning. The light goes
off on this, the failed first access. I believe the light for
the primary slave stays on as well, but goes off on the first
access to the primary master (which does -not- fail).

Nice timing, I was about to send a message with a description of a
similar (the same?) problem.  The first access to any IDE disk (except 
the one I'm booting from - wd1) fails with 'device not configured'.  This
affects swapon for wd2s2b during the boot as well as the first mount
for wd0 which happens to have only dos partitions on it.  So the
problem is not restricted to ufs partitions or to the secondary
controller.

Repeating the swapon or mount command works normally.

I've been seeing this problem for about a month, but I've been away on 
vacation so am just beginning to look into it.  I made changes to all
my drives and put them in LBA mode at about the same time as I began
seeing this, but I'm not sure if that is related.
