Re: Install error - MOD_LOAD (amr_linux, 0xffffffff806205d0, 0) error 6

2006-11-09 Thread tecol 
I updated the BIOS and that got me past the problem. I had 0403 BIOS 
before, and updated it to 1001 version. I am now able to continue with 
installation of FreeBSD.


Updating my BIOS seemed like it would be difficult. I have no floppy 
drive on that system. Fortunately, I was able to use the dd command from 
my linux system to copy the DRDOS system from bootdisk.com to a USB pen 
drive, copy my new BIOS ROM code to it and the ASUS flash utility. Then 
change the BIOS setup on the target system to force my USB drive to be 
recognized as a FDD drive, change boot order to make the USB drive 
first, and boot into DOS off my USB drive to update the BIOS. That was 
interesting.


Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

"boot". Now I see message saying amr_linux is already loaded. boot

have you tried disabling apic? not good to do this if you have SMP,
but on UMP is has helped me move past locks like yours.



HAve you upgrade your bios? There are updates available for your
motherboard.

Yes, I have disabled APIC as well. It didn't help.

Default (option 1), single user

and option 3 (Safe mode) fail with the amr_linux MOD_LOAD error 6 
message immediately after the timecounters message is issued.




  
I've also exited to the loader prompt (option 6) and looked for the 
amr_linux module. It does not show up in the output of the lsmod 
command. I don't know how to tell it not to load the amr_linux module or 
amr. How do I do that?


I don't have a RAID card. My motherboard is ASUS A8N-VM CSM and it has 
four SATA II connectors. The documentation doesn't say what RAID chipset 
is being used. The messages at power on go by too fast for me to read. 
In any case, my hard drive is IDE.



have you tried  disabling the SATA controller in the BIOS?

could it be that amr is built into GENERIC and causing this issue? ... anyone?

I imagine either of both approaches will leave you without access to your

you can reproduce,etc

btw, what model of raid card do you have? (it may be useful...)

Yes Garrett, that thread on linuxquestions.org is mine.  I'm the one who 
started it.   I started an almost exact duplicate thread on 
bsdforums.org that no one ever responded to. 

As you can see in that thread on linuxquestions, there is no answer 
there.   That is why I'm posting here. 


Thanks!

the system freezes.

I tried the 6.2 beta 2 and got the same thing.

I tried installing FreeBSD 6.0 and got almost the same thing.  The last
message is the one about Timecounter ticks, and it hangs too but without
issuing the MOD_LOAD error 6.

Any ideas for getting past this?
