Well..I installed the FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE release lately, and everything went fine as far as the install was concerned. Yeah, I had some problems getting KDE to work properly, cuz of some issues with the Xserver, but they could be dealt with. So for a couple of days, I must say that FreeBSD was working fine. Then I was looking for some way of mounting the FreeBSD partition on Linux and/or vice-versa. But I couldn't do it. The next time I tried booting to FreeBSD, I am getting the same errors that you are!!! This time, I have no clue to what went wrong! Is this a known bug or something? -- Regards, Amit. http://copperskullcprogramming.blogspot.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yes, I can: ad0: 238457 MB at ata0-master UDMA acd0 . at ata0-slave looks fine too (I'm too lazy to copy it :) Also I have ad2 and it seems fine on dmesg too. After that goes ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=0 ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=0 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 and repeats 3 times. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hmmm. I don't remember seeing anything like those when I had the afore-mentioned problem. That looks like something is connected wrong or being addressed wrong. It isn't a geometry issue, I don't think. > My HDD is Master on first IDE-channel, CD-ROM - Secondary on the same > channel. Can you find the dmesg information for both the disk and the CD reader during the boot? Are they producing device identifiers and specs that look correct? Those lines will start with 'adnn:' and 'acdnn:' where nn is a number, probably '0' (you hope). jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I've tried to create one large slice too. All goes fine until Commit. When install tries to write on disk it shows: ERROR: Unable to write data to disk ad0! By the way there are some error messages regarding this on Ctrl+Alt+F2 (during install), but they say nothing to me: ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=0 ad0: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=0 ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error=84 LBA=0 They're repeated 4 times.

Usually, with FreeBSD, you just ignore those geometry messages. This should be especially true if you plan to use the whole disk for FreeBSD.The geometry that is reported is "virtual" and does not really mean anything for you.Don't try to do anything to the BIOS settings for it either.Just take the [fdisk] option that says to create one large slice comprising the whole disk for FreeBSD and it should overwrite everything nicely. If this doesn't work then it will be necessary to know more about just what kind of disk you are trying to use. jerry > > Thank you. > > Dmitriy. > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
