I'm not currently on the list, so if anyone  has already replied without
cc ing me in could they forward their reply , thanks. I've been using  the
mail list search engine but it doesn't seem to find my question, never
mind any replies.

Thanks to 'Virtual Bob' for suggesting that I install DOS on disk first.

I've done that, it worked fine, I can boot it into DOS without problems.

When I boot using 4.3 kern.flp it appears to detect the disk

BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1

I then insert the 4.3 mfsroot.flp and 'Skip Kernel Configuration'

I get a message which I think says something like.

ata0 at 0x1f0  IR 14

but it dissapears off the screen in what seems like a millisecond.

These messages find there way into /var/log/messages on an installed OS.
Is it possible to capture them booting from floppy ?
Is it possible to pause/slow down the booting process ?

Assuming that I have read it correctly, this would suggest that I'm detecting the
disk controller, but not necessarily the disk ............. am I interpreting that correctly ?

Still when I  get to the 'disk partitioning' page it says

No disk found ! Please verify that your disk controller is being properly
probed at boot time. See the hardware guide on the Documentation Menu ......

Can someone confirm that I'm using the right floppies. It is no longer necessary
to use 'PAO' disks for laptops ?

Has anyone had success with Hitachi DK23AA-90 ?

Virtual Bob also suggested changing the disk geometry, but it is the same
Heads/Secors as an existing ( and working ) disk. What geometry would
anyone suggest ?

Hello List,

I'm trying to install 4.3 on my laptop.
I've been happilly running 2.2.8 for over 2 years on the same machine.
The machine (Twinhead SLV X2) has removeable disks, and I'm trying to
install on  a fresh disk straight out of the box.

BIOS detects the disk OK

Fixed Disk 0 : HITACHI DK_23AA-90
Primary Master  [8455MB]
Primary Slave [CDROM]
Large Disk Access Mode [DOS] .... changed this to 'Other'

Type [Auto] ... I can change this to User
Cylinders 17475
Heads 15
Sectors 63
Max Capacity 8455 MB

I checked the geometry on my working 2.2.8 disk (IBM DKLA-24320) and the
Heads/ Sector values are the same, but less cylinders.
I've booted from 4.3 floppies. I'm assuming it is no longer necessary to
use PAO floppies, yes ?

The kernel detects the disk controller ata0 / ata1.
When it comes to selecting a disk in installation, it reports
No disk found ! Please verify that your disk controller is being properly
probed at boot time. See the hardware guide on the Documentation Menu ......

So, I tried going into 'Configure Kernel' and expanded the Storage area.

It list the following under 'Active Drivers'
ATA/ATAPI compatible disk controller ata0   14   0x1f0
ATA/ATAPI compatible disk controller ata1   15   0x170
Does this mean that it has found the disk controller or simply
that it looking for it

Can anyone advise on what the problem  could be, and if possible suggest
a way forward.

Thanks
David

I tried booting from 4.3 floppies but with the disk on which I have 2.2.8 installed. The intention being to abort installation before formatting the disk. Again, it tells me 'No Disks found', and this disk happilly boots 2.2.8 without using boot floppies. I then blew the dust of an old floppy labelled PAO 2.2.8 and booted that with the new disk and this worked, allowing me to set disk partitions. Clearly I have no intention of installing 2.2.8, but I think this indicates that the hardware is OK. I don't need special 'PAO 4.3' boot floppies ?

No, this only has an effect on initial bootup. After the system is up the kernel can allocate more page table pages as needed. If the system is panicing after 10 hours or so, then it is for different reasons. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.

Since that moment, when I stress the disk with many writes (for example, untar an large archive), the kernel complaints with these messages: ata0: resetting devices .. done ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting The disk ATA mode does not fall back to PIO; eventually, the untar finishes. Surprisingly, if I enable write caching the problem seems to dissapear. Maybe I did not see this problem with 4.2-RELEASE because WC was enabled by default. I did the same tests on other machine with the same motherboard and processor (Duron 800MHz), but different disk, and everything works fine. These are the relevant lines of dmesg output on the problem machine: atapci0: port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device 7.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 .... ad0: 19546MB [39714/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66 acd0: CDROM at ata1-master using WDMA2 Bad disk firmware?

The server has a Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64 V, but when i did the installation process, FreeBSD didn't detect it. I was trying to recompile the kernel to load the driver for the sound card, but i got a message talking about deprecated drivers or something like that. Somebody can tell me what is the rigth way to load the driver for my sound card???? what i have to put in the configuration file to recompile the kernel??? Second Question: The idiom of my keyboard is spanish, and i configured using the /stand/sysinstall program. If i work in the console without X, the keyboard works in spanish without problem. But if i use a X client (gnome + enligthment), then my keyboard works in english. I was looking for some way to change that from the X utilities, but i can not find anything. Somebody knows how to do it??? (I am using X version 4.0.3) Thanks a lot for any help. ========================================================================= xxx-00/-xx xx-0 /-xxx UNIVERSIDAD DEL VALLE 0 / 0 CENTRO DE SERVICIOS DE INFORMACION 0/ 0 SEDE MELENDEZ /0 0 e-mail: gstgnzgr@calvin.univalle.edu.co ____00____ Telefonos: 3336450 ********** ICQ : 95848099 ========================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sat Jun 2 15:49:40 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from smtp.pace.edu (ntutil.pace.edu [205.232.111.9]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A0FB937B42C; Sat, 2 Jun 2001 15:49:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from js43064n@stmail.pace.edu) Received: from stmail.pace.edu (205.232.111.7:2541) by smtp.pace.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1b) with SMTP id <0.A89B8738@smtp.pace.edu>; Sat, 2 Jun 2001 18:49:35 -0400 Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2001 18:49:32 -0400 Message-Id: <200106021849.AA311361802@stmail.pace.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii From: "Jonathan Slivko" Reply-To: To: Cc: Subject: Question on 2 NIC Cards X-Mailer: Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, I have 2 NIC cards, one of which I have used successfully with FreeBSD before will not pick up my DHCP server any more to be able to do a network install. If I install from CD and I set up the networking configuration from the Post-Install menu myself, from the DHCP server info, would that just clear up the problem and allow me to access my network card, or would I have to get a new NIC card and try with that? The two cards in question are: 1) SMC EZ ISA 1660 2) NETGEAR FA311 PCI both are 10/100Mbps speed. -- Jonathan P.S. Please reply to me directly, as I am not signed up to recieve this list.
