Re: HP ILO FreeBSD 8.3 Installation problem
Hi, USB memstick img file is solution for me. I try FreeBSD-8.3-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img. I downloaded this img file and copy to USB, not burn it to USB. Then attach to İLO such as USB virtual image then sysinstall start, BUT I selected installation from usb install NOT CD/DVD installation. thanks for your answers. 05.07.2013, 02:00, Damien Fleuriot m...@my.gd: On 5 Jul 2013, at 00:01, bw.mail.lists bw.mail.li...@gmail.com wrote: On 7/4/2013 4:59 PM, Emre Çamalan wrote: Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD with an HP ILO 4 advanced, web interface.

installation problem
Hello, I have tried to install freebsd 9.0 into my laptop from usb flash memory(4GB). I can only reach the first installation screen but the installation cannot start and keeps rebooting. I have read the documents in your website and downloaded FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img and burned it flash memory with imagewrite (linux mint)I have tried all options at the start screen of the installation. But results are the same. Laptop is Acer Aspire 5520 AMD Athlon 64 dual core, 1gb ram, 120gb hdd, nvidia geforce 7000M There is no problem with the usb flash memory because I have used it to intall linux mint which is already I am using. The DVD of the laptop is not functional so I am using flash memory for installation. Boot sequence of the bios is correct. (usb flash memory) Is there any advice to solve the problem. Thank a lot...

I guess you're trying to install something to do with X.org, as ftp.cs.cuhk.edu.hk is only listed under MASTER_SITE_XORG. It seems that server may be down -- for the time being at least -- however, there are several other mirrors around the world that the ports could use instead. For most 'site down' type errors, if you just wait patiently, the ports should eventually try the next server in sequence. However, if that doesn't work, you could try adding[*] MASTER_SORT=.uk RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES= yes to /etc/make.conf -- this should cause the ports to try and download from a different server initially. The '.uk. MASTER_SORT probably won't help very much here, as although ftp.mirrorservice.org is on the MASTER_SITE_XORG list, as you can see, it doesn't have '.uk' in its URL. The obvious substitution to get mirrorservice.org to sort first is left as an exercise... Cheers, Matthew [*] Assuming you're in the UK, as you're using plus.com -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

This will zero out any old MBR. A time or two when I've seen this error this fixed it up and the install proceeds as normal. As Warren said before, don't use the W, just Q and sysinstall will queue and issue all the commands at a later point. Already done that but still habe the same issue. I can dd and sysctl but after installing without using W at disk label screen still no luck. I have also done sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 on fixit and restarted installation but still getting the same error. I apologize over minor language difficulties, as I'm as guilty as anyone. But I do find the above slightly confusing, as I cannot tell for certain whether you have executed the commands correctly, or not. I can easily assume that you did and the problem indeed is somewhere else. The purpose of the sysctl command is to make it so that the subsequent dd can actually complete it's write to zero the MBR. If you were to examine this sector in a hex editor you would see all zeroes if the dd was successful. If it's anything other than all zeroes the write did not happen. If the write didn't happen then the problem would remain. Historically, I had this problem when I pulled an old backup disk off the shelf to swap into a box with a failed drive. The old disk still had the previous install of version 6.2 on it. I'm not certain exactly what changed, but some fuzzy glint of memory seems to make me think it was some kind of change in partition labeling between 6.2 and 7.x which rendered 7.x unable to properly read and modify the disk. Trying to install 7.x over the old 6.2 continually failed with exactly the same error as you describe until I booted from a LiveFS CD and did the above 2 commands. Another difference is that I have _not_ done this procedure in a FIXIT shell; I'm just assuming here that it would work the same way but could be wrong. There are several other things that jump out at me that I will include for ideas. A RAID controller sometimes will store it's metadata on the last sector of a disk. I doubt that this would cause a problem until or unless you were trying to use a GEOM class like gmirror which does the same thing and would clash. If so, you'd need to zero this sector as well. I doubt that this is the situation. You could also play around with BIOS controller configurations as well. For example, you would not want to be using Intel MatrixRAID. So NO to setting the controller to any kind of RAID setting in BIOS - and for an SSD you really want to select AHCI. The only other choice is Legacy support. I'm also a little apprehensive of installing to ad6 - you might try as an experiment unplugging any/all other drives you don't want to take chances with and plug up the SSD as ad0 to see if this changes anything. I have FBSD 9 installed in a VM for testing, and I believe it has switched to the new ATA_CAM layer as default now. I have also configured my 8.2 machines the same way so the drives are now ada0 instead of the old ad0 naming scheme. I do not know if this change has gone into the 8.3 Beta you are having trouble with. Examine your dmesg output and you can determine this. If your drive(s) are showing up as ada0 then possibly sysinstall doesn't know how to deal with this. I thought this was supposed to start with 9, and do not really know anything about 8.3 Beta. One thing I'd try is to see if installing 8.2 RELEASE would work. If it did, then the devs probably need some kind of PR filed so they will be aware. I won't see 8.3 until it becomes RELEASE, as I run production machines and I just am not interested in any potential upgrade until 8.3 achieves RELEASE status. But if attempting to install 8.2 RELEASE does the same thing it would circle me back to believing the crux of the problem is whatever was on the drive previously - and that needs to be successfully erased before your install will proceed. You should also reboot the box after doing these 2 commands, don't just try and continue on with sysinstall - reboot first. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You can then use its dd command to wipe the first parts of the disk to make ENTIRELY SURE that there's no interfereing rest of a Linux boot loader. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Well, 165 or 0xA5 is indeed the system partition ID for FreeBSD. But that has
nothing to do with the disk geometry (which is cilinders/heads/sectors and
which you should _not_ mess with).
Read and follow Chapter 2 of the freeBSD handbook;
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html
Pay attention to §2.6, Allocating Disk Space.
Since you are installing a desktop, I would recommend to create a separate
partition (in the FreeBSD Disklabel Editor, _not_ FDISK!) for your /home. That
makes it easier to separately back up the OS and your own data.

You don't need to format anything. Just make sure all kinds
of partitions are removed. If they are not, you should be
able to use FreeBSD's sysinstall program (stage fdisk)
to remove all existing partitions (key d), then add one
for FreeBSD (key a); this will automatically set the
correct ID.
What stage of installation, or what program, does issue this
error message? Does it come from the BIOS, the FreeBSD loader,
or the kernel, or sysinstall?
anyway I can force it to install?
Install with an empty disk. FreeBSD does not require any
kind of preparation for its installation by 3rd party means.
Please have a look at the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/install-start.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/using-sysinstall.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/install-steps.html
Can you be specific about in WHAT STAGE of the process you are
getting the mentioned error message?

Basically, that shouldn't make any difference. I usually use the full install (1 CD) when building a system from scratch intendedly. Everything that is not on this CD, I install per FTP right from the beginning. But the error message seems to indicate a generic booting problem. You can also try to use the memstick installation variant if your system can boot from USB. In this case, you can eliminate CD or DVD booting problems. (hate to sound like an idiot) but how do I connect to the FTP site? That's quite easy, as soon as you're in the sysinstall program: Choose FTP as source, select a mirror near you, and if not done yet, your network connection will automatically be initialized, usually by DHCP, which is a common setting.

Yes, the verbosity of the error message
error {0-01}
makes me believe that this is already in a very early stage. Maybe
some forgotten remains of a Linux boot loader? In this case, trying
to boot from USB (or maybe floppy?) could help hard-wiping at least
the beginning of the disk, using dd.

The easiest way to install FreeBSD is to use *its* installation
utilities. Just make sure that the disk space you want to use
for your FreeBSD installation is free, meaning not defined to
be any kind of slice or partition of any type, just wiped plain
empty. Then FreeBSD will happily install into this empty disk
space.
In case you want to use the whole disk for FreeBSD, delete all
stuff from it (remove all primary DOS partitions) and keep
it that way; then start the installation from the CD, DVD or
USB stick.
There usually is no need to employ Linux tools to prepare a
FreeBSD installation.
I still get the error, read error, {0-01}

Re: installation problem
I guess I have the same problem. I trying to install 7.2-RELEASE on server with Supermicro X8DTU-Fhttp://market.yandex.ru/model.xml?modelid=4633058MB. BIOS is the newest. Just in time I boot from CD I get such errors after detecting CPU: acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 retry left) acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (0 retry left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out And boot fails. But if I eject CD from CD-ROM after FreeBSD kernel loads, all going OK. But in this way I unable to continue installation from CD, course even I insert CD during sysinstall, it cannot mount it and copy distributions to my machine. I have tried to boot through choosing 6 in loader menu and type - set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 - boot But it doesn't give any effect. Situation was recalled on two X8DTU-F motherboards, so it isn't hardware problem. CD-ROM is SATA, TEAC DV-28S.

Re: installation problem
I cannot tell for sure, but the installation seems to be failing at the point where it must install/read from the cdrom; is that correct? If so, it may be that your cdrom drive has a DMA conflict; I believe that Toshiba ATAPI drives have such problems.

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

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

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?

phonon/kdebase4-runtime make/installation problem
Hi, I was having trouble with amarok2 on kde 4 (no sound), and decided to try to reinstall phonon on the advice of several bulletin boards, but when I tried, by system told me that phonon conflicted with kdebase4-runtime. I deinstalled kdebase4-runtime, reinstalled phonon, and now I want to reinstall kdebase4-runtime, but it (today's cvsup) won't make install because it requires phonon 4.3.0. The version I installed was phonon 4.3.1_1 (the phonon port on today's cvsup). I am running FreeBSD 7.1 with KDE 4.1 . How do I get out of this dependency/conflict loop?

7.2 Installation Problem - Large Disk
Hi there.. I hope this is the correct mailing list to ask this question. I have a Dell Poweredge R710 server (brand new)... 7.2-RELEASE installs fine but I'm having a problem getting any large partitions over approximately 500GB. During the installation it allows me to create 4.5TB partition but after rebooting it's only really 500GB +/- Has anyone successfully installed into a disk this large? This is a RAID5 array using the Dell Perc 6/I controller I have installed now 6+ times with smaller partitions (100GB even) and run into problems . hoping someone could share how they got large disk support working.. I'd be happy with several 1TB partitions but when I configure it this way and exceed 4 partitions it tells me disk error creating partitions..

Unfortunately, MBR and BSD disklabel use 32 bit values, so they are limited to 2TB. GPT uses 64 bit values, but I don't believe that FreeBSD fully supports it. You can see the Big Disk project page [1] for more information. As a workaround, you may wish redo your RAID configuration so that you have multiple logical volumes (e.g. 2T, 2T, 0.5T).

I don't have experience with SATA drives, so don't know ... I know my IDE drives come up as ad and so would assume SATA will come up with a different name. Well, you would be right about it being a 5th disk in FreeBSD terms. How many disks are on the machine and what did you select for installation within SYSINSTALL. It allows you to select any slice on the system for installation. It might get confused by MS extended partitions, but I think that would affect only slice designation and not drive designation - but I could be off on that. Did you tell it to create a slice 2 out of unused space and make it a FreeBSD type? Did you have space for it? How did you create that partition for FreeBSD?Note that what Microsloth calls a partition is really called a 'slice' in FreeBSD and in the device name indicated above is ---s2-- part of the name which makes complete sense and seems normal. The only odd parts are ad4 which would be the fifth disk drive unless something is weird and the 'b', maybe, if you did not create one which would be a bug to look for one if you didn't make one.

In some cases there is something like an emulation mode where the SATA controller actually replaces the PATA one rather than augmenting it. In these case you may get an ad0 for the first SATA drive. If you are running SATA in native mode, the first drive is ad4.

AW: FreeBSD 2.2.9 / Installation problem
Thank you very much for your ideas. I switched to 4.11 after realizing that it would work as well. Besides, it would be much easier to install packages, as they are available on CD - for 2.2.9, as far as I saw it, I have to download them. This would have to happen on the Compaq. However, the HP-disk and the LAN-card which I need for internet access would use the same PCMCIA-slot. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Josh Paetzel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 16.

I completely don't need X. Midnight Commander is perfectly fine as a working environment. 4.11 seemed OK. But I am having a different problem right now, which I am still researching: It does not recognize the device from where to mount root correctly. I mean the following: When I put FreeBSD into the Compaq for installation, the harddrive is ad4 or ad8. But in the system where I want to run it, the HP Omnibook, it is ad0. Now, when I start it back in the HP Omnibook, it says that swap is not configured correctly on ad8s-something. Which is true, it should look for it on ad0... I have only once been able till now to mount root. (And this is my basis for assuming that even 4.11 CAN potentially run.) I said as command ufs:/dev/ad0 when it asked me where to mount root from. This worked, however, e.g. ufs:/dev/ad0s1 did not work. I am thinking that I might have made a mistake, and should have said ad0s1a. Yet, the principal new problem persists: FreeBSD does not realize that it should now look at ad0 instead of ad4 or ad8. (However, in the booting process, it correctly sees ad0 as having 325 MB etc.) Is there a way to solve this? Probably the /etc/fstab is wrong and refers to the ad4 or ad8 devices. The root should indeed typically be ufs:/dev/ad0s1a. Kris I'm a tad confused, as I thought we were talking about FBSD 2.x, which would've called your drive wd0, not ad0. But Kris is correct in that your fstab is wrong...your /boot/loader.conf probably has the wrong root device as well. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The root should indeed typically be ufs:/dev/ad0s1a. Kris I'm a tad confused, as I thought we were talking about FBSD 2.x, which would've called your drive wd0, not ad0. But Kris is correct in that your fstab is wrong...your /boot/loader.conf probably has the wrong root device as well. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 2.2.9 / Installation problem
Dear Sir or Madam, First of all, I would like to thank all involved in this project for the work they do, and wish them all the best for its continuation. I would like to use FreeBSD on a certain machine, but unfortunately I have a problem with the installation. I would like to mention that I have a non-technical background, which might be relevant regarding any information I supply, and also the way you address my problem. I am writing you with regard to the following issue, and would appreciate your help greatly: 1. Ultimate Goal. I am a law student, and in my field we are working a lot with .pdf-documents. To my surprise, the Midnight Commander is able to display them, at least in FreeBSD 6.1 which I use normally. (I have read somewhere there is no text-mode .pdf-viewer; fortunately, this appears to be incorrect.) I decided to put FreeBSD in text mode on my old laptop, so I can view .pdf-documents on it while working on another machine. 2. The Means. The target machine is a HP Omnibook 600c laptop with 8MB RAM, a 486 DX4 processor, 300 MB disk space. No CD drive. No network available. External floppy drive without DMA. (I tried NetBSD, but because of the lack of DMA it did not work properly.) The functioning of the floppy drive is critical, being the machine's only practical means of communicating with the outer world. Due to cost and time considerations, no upgrades are possible. If the target machine is not suitable for an installation of FreeBSD, please let me know so I stop further attempts. Fortunately, the harddrive can be put into my main machine, a Compaq Armada Laptop whose type I unfortunately don't know. Specifications of the Compaq machine: 192 MB RAM, Internet access available, 300MHz PII CPU, CD drive and floppy drive available. The CD drive cannot boot from CDs, so I am using the boot floppies to initialize installation. The HP Omnibook harddrive fits in by placing it into the PCMCIA slot, as the HP Omnibook drive physically has PCMCIA connections. 3. The Problem. I chose Novice Installation. The next screen informed me of what is to happen now. The screen following it said: No disk found! Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time. See the Hardware Guide on the Documentation menu for clues on diagnosing this type of problem. 4. Analysis. Frankly, I have no idea what to do. I have tried to install FreeBSD 4.11 using the same method. It was successful, however, I could not run it on the HP Omnibook machine, as it appears it had not sufficient RAM: The booting process of FreeBSD 4.11 initiated, but after a while started to preduce errors until it broke off. I must say, I have read the documentation, searched many times the Internet etc., but not found anything regarding the issue. Maybe I have overlooked a solution because of my non-technical background. 5. Desired solution. All I want is a FreeBSD system with the Midnight Commander that shall display my .pdf-files on my HP Omnibook 600c. I have no pretentions as to which version, so long as it fits the purpose. So, I would be grateful if you could advise me as to how to correct my installation problem of FreeBSD 2.2.9; however, if another solution looks better to you, please do not hesitate to mention it.

WG: FreeBSD 2.2.9 / Installation problem
Dear Sir or Madam, I tried again installing FreeBSD 4.11, but the problem is that when I put back the harddisk into the Omnibook and boot it, the system does not recognize from where to mount root (sorry for the misinformation in my mail below it appears not to be a RAM issue!). It starts probing devices, until it finally gives up and asks me to input it manually. I managed finally installing FreeBSD 2.2.9, by using the bootfloppies from 4.11. Same problem: When booting it does not recognize from where to mount root. I would be grateful if you could help me.

AW: FreeBSD 2.2.9 / Installation problem
Dear Chistian, Dear Kris, I also think the RAM will not be the issue, as it is a text-only install, and indeed, I am not planning to get fancy. I completely don't need X. Midnight Commander is perfectly fine as a working environment. 4.11 seemed OK. But I am having a different problem right now, which I am still researching: It does not recognize the device from where to mount root correctly. I mean the following: When I put FreeBSD into the Compaq for installation, the harddrive is ad4 or ad8. But in the system where I want to run it, the HP Omnibook, it is ad0. Now, when I start it back in the HP Omnibook, it says that swap is not configured correctly on ad8s-something. Which is true, it should look for it on ad0... I have only once been able till now to mount root. (And this is my basis for assuming that even 4.11 CAN potentially run.) I said as command ufs:/dev/ad0 when it asked me where to mount root from. This worked, however, e.g. ufs:/dev/ad0s1 did not work. I am thinking that I might have made a mistake, and should have said ad0s1a. Yet, the principal new problem persists: FreeBSD does not realize that it should now look at ad0 instead of ad4 or ad8. (However, in the booting process, it correctly sees ad0 as having 325 MB etc.) Is there a way to solve this? If this really works I think I'll write a step-by-step guide...

I think this PR have a good chances to be closed since there is a pre-release cycle now and ich7 controller is widely used.
