Re: openbsd 3.9, openbsd 4.0 install errors, most likely hardware

Anyway, how about underclocking your Duron some? Reset the BIOS timings and power levels to failsafe? The old K7+VIA Chipset boards were a rough crowd. This is a custom white box server, all put together. It is not an HP. I will try to reset the bios timings and power levels. I

openbsd 3.9, openbsd 4.0 install errors, most likely hardware

openbsd gurus, As my saga continues... I have a newly built server on which I am attempting to install openbsd 4.0. Problems occurred on install of sets, where comp set keeps throwing errors. Suggestion was made that it was probably a bad CD. Try a previous CD of an earlier version. I had 3.9

Maxim, set keeps throwing errors. Suggestion was made that it was probably a bad CD. Try a previous CD of an earlier version. I had 3.9 available. The logs of the attempts are posted at: In my case when I had the same problem it was the CD-rom reader that was bad. Replacing cdrom with

Re: openbsd 3.9, openbsd 4.0 install errors, most likely hardware

I've seen this before. On old HP gear. Is your HP? Only FreeBSD would run on the system. NetBSD/OpenBSD dead in the water. Some obscure bug when the I/O went up (Symbios SCSI). One of many reason why I want nothing to do with HP (H-PHUX) ever again. Anyway, how about underclocking your

Re: openbsd 3.9, openbsd 4.0 install errors, most likely hardware

Things to try (in any order you please): 1. check IDE cables 2. check whether Master/Slave/CS settings are correct 3. In case Brian is right, you might want to put CD on the same cable as hd0, to slow-down IDE. 4. also check where you disks are connected - to IDE bus or to ATA-133

Re: openbsd 3.9, openbsd 4.0 install errors, most likely hardware

Peter, google turns up a few references on various BSD mailing list for the search string OpenBSD ffs_valloc: dup alloc. No clear cut solutions, but the popular suspicion runs in the direction of buggy (S)ATA controllers or, of course, possibly subtle, hard to trigger bugs in the operating
