I had the unfortunate tragedy of a power failure at my hosting noc, my server
lost almost all its data (thank god for backups) it's now an opportune time to
upgrade my 5.1 install to 5.3, however i get several problems when trying to
install, if i run off of the cd for install, i get a hex dump and "BTX halted"
at the bottom. Similar to this:
int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00030246 eip=0000ffff
eax=8000f000 ebx=00000000 ecx=0000feff edx=00000082
esi=00000002 edi=0000000c ebp=00000002 esp=0000fffc
cs=cc00 ds=9ec0 es=44ac fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=9d58
cs:eip=ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ss:esp=ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
BTX halted
this is not mine and i don't have access to my box's console right now.
However if i use the floppies i can get all the way through to the setup,
however multiple ATA_IDENTIFY errors crop up. I have 1 ide 60G disk and two
150G sata disks, all of the disks have this error and setup says that i don't
have any disks to install to. I know that there is a workaround mentioned in
this problem report:
i386/73706 jhb ATA_IDENTIFY timed out under FreeBSD 5.3
However, that looks to be for an upgrade or at least assuming the os is already
installed. My question is how would i make this patch effective so that i can
run an install onto my IDE drive?
Thanks,
Shaun
