FreeBSD 8.1 AHCI Timeouts

2010-07-24 Thread Mak Kolybabi
I bought a netbook today, and am trying to get FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 
installed on it. As is my custom, I'm trying to back up the default 
system image the device came with. But no matter what I do, FreeBSD 
seems unable to properly interact with the hard drive.


The netbook is a Toshiba NB250.
The hard drive is listed by the BIOS as TOSHIBA MK1665GSXV-(S1).
The BIOS version is V1.30.

The first thing I did was boot the FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 USB install image, 
move to a fixit session using the live USB filesystem, and try and dd 
the hard drive to a USB stick. When I did that, the dd went terribly 
slow (a few KB a minute, before stalling), while dmesg was printing out:

 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51READY, DSC, ERROR error=0 LBA=20530
These DMA failures occur regardless of whether the drive is in 
compatibility or AHCI mode.


The next thing I did was boot again, changed the drive to AHCI mode, and 
did a load ahci.ko in the bootloader command prompt. The dd caused:

 ahcich0: Timeout on slot 0
 ahcich0: is  cs  ss  rs  tfd 40 serr 



The next thing I did was boot again, with the drive in AHCI mode, and 
did a load ataahci.ko in the bootloader command prompt. The dd caused:

 ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=2048

Doing some searches on the Internet for this problem, people often asked 
for verbose dmesg, pciconf, and vmstat output. I have attached them all.


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming that you've ensured that lampp has the executable bit set.

When I ran into this myself, it was because I was trying to run an executable
that the kernel didn't recognize (x86_64 on x86). Try running file lampp to
see what kind of file it is.

 if not grep, then sed, ed, or what?!

Sed has the ability to pull into the current line the next line, appended and
separated by a \n character. It's hard to use correctly, I've found, and my
simple demo:

sed -e '/^$/{N;N;N; s/^\n\n\n$/===4 blank lines==/; }'

Does not quite work as I'd hoped. But hopefully it's enough to get you started.

 What's the best/most efficient way of doing that in a shell?

Personally, I'd use:

Your CPU is 64-bit from what I can see. From a bit of Googling, others have
encountered this problem, and it seems to have to do with VM-X. I have no idea
what that is, but a thread in which someone has a very similar issue is here:

One notable quote is:

No, you were not dreaming. When in doubt, check the source. From

Allow bsdlabel to operate on labels that have at most 26 partitions by virtue

  the message 'ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found'. Also, 'Abort

  Any suggestions?

 I'm installing from the i386 ISO from the FreeBSD site. When asked where to 
 use
 as a download source, I chose 'CD/DVD'. Also, I have verified the ISO's MD5 
 sum
 and tried burning the image more than once, just to be paranoid.

Will do. Thanks for the suggestion. Trying that now...

 Have you checked VT2 for any errors or warnings?

 Bahman

VT2 was where I was able to see these errors fully. Other than that, they crop
up behind the dialogs near the end of the setup. They are all I can see out of
the ordinary.

Re: FreeBSD Cron Job to run (ifconfig em0 down; ifconfig em0 up)

2007-08-29 Thread Mak Kolybabi
 Here's what I'd use:
 ping -c 1 a.b.c.d; TESTV=$?; if [ $TESTV != 0 ]; then `ifconfig em0 down`;

I'd suggest something more like:

ping -c 1 $host
[ $? -eq 0 ]  ifconfig em0 down  ifconfig em0 up

or

ping -c 1 $host
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
ifconfig em0 down  ifconfig em0 up
fi

MSK Driver -- Unable to get it working on laptop

2007-08-25 Thread Mak Kolybabi
I've been trying to get FreeBSD -CURRENT installed on my laptop for several days
now. Although most things work fine, I cannot get my ethernet card to function.

I have searched for similar issues on the web and mailing list archives and
found nothing.

The card identifies as:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x02 card=0x01101025 chip=0x435211ab 
 rev=0x14 hdr=0x00
 vendor = 'Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd)'
 device = 'Yukon 88E8038 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller'
 class  = network
 subclass   = ethernet

The relevant portion of dmesg is:
 pcib1: ACPI PCI-PCI bridge irq 16 at device 28.0 on pci0
 pcib1:   secondary bus 2
 pcib1:   subordinate bus   2
 pcib1:   I/O decode0x0-0x0
 pcib1:   no prefetched decode
 [snip]
 pcib1: matched entry for 2.0.INTA
 pcib1: slot 0 INTA hardwired to IRQ 16
 mskc0: Marvell Yukon 88E8038 Gigabit Ethernet irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2
 pcib1: mskc0 requested unsupported memory range 0-0x 
 (decoding 0-0, 0-0)
 mskc0: 0x4000 bytes of rid 0x10 res 3 failed (0, 0x).
 mskc0: Lazy allocation of 0x4 bytes rid 0x14 type 4 at 0x1080
 mskc0: unknown device: id=0x00, rev=0x00
 device_attach: mskc0 attach returned 6

I've posted full versions of all the relevant configuration info I could think 
of at pastebin:
DMESG: http://pastebin.org/1136
PCICONF: http://pastebin.org/1137
SYSCTL: http://pastebin.org/1138

And finally, here's the web page with the laptop's specs:
http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/forms/portal20.cfm?recordid=540formid=3404website=AcerPanAm.com/canadasiteid=7297words=allkeywords=areaid=17

Any help would be much appreciated.
