I was able to boot off the cdrom and then I found the fdisk information is fine. I backed up and tried to update (and later install) anew; but I see messages like these during and after installation on a slightly heavy disk activity: sg[0] - Addr 0x4aec000 : Length 8192 (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): BDR message in message buffer (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): SCB 0x10 - timed out in Command phase, SEQADDR == 0xa9 (More info on these are written to dmesg and are at the end of the dmesg output that follows.) Moreover, while I have only one SCSI HDD, the install process as well as the dmesg thinks I have da0-14 all of the same configuration. I am afaid my disk is dying. Or (luckily) am I wrong? If so, what should I do to get sane behaviour back? Thanks for any help, gangadhar. Here is a partial dmesg output: Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0 da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da1: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) da2 at ahc0 bus 0 target 3 lun 0 da2: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da2: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da2: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) da3 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 da3: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da3: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da3: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) [[snip]] da14 at ahc0 bus 0 target 15 lun 0 da14: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da14: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da14: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): SCB 0x9 - timed out in Command phase, SEQADDR == 0xa8 STACK == 0x9b, 0x167, 0x151, 0x0 SXFRCTL0 == 0xa0 ahc0: Dumping Card State at SEQADDR 0xa8 SCSISEQ = 0x12, SBLKCTL = 0x2, SSTAT0 0x0 SCB count = 20 Kernel NEXTQSCB = 14 Card NEXTQSCB = 18 QINFIFO entries: 18 6 12 13 17 1 15 8 Waiting Queue entries: Disconnected Queue entries: 15:11 9:0 17:9 QOUTFIFO entries: Sequencer Free SCB List: 12 18 16 8 4 10 5 13 11 3 6 14 0 2 1 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Pending list: 8 15 1 17 13 12 6 18 16 11 0 9 Kernel Free SCB list: 5 10 19 7 3 2 4 sg[0] - Addr 0x4f8a000 : Length 4096 sg[1] - Addr 0x4f0b000 : Length 4096 (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): Other SCB Timeout (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): SCB 0x0 - timed out in Command phase, SEQADDR == 0xa8 STACK == 0x9b, 0x167, 0x151, 0x0 SXFRCTL0 == 0xa0 ahc0: Dumping Card State at SEQADDR 0xa8 SCSISEQ = 0x12, SBLKCTL = 0x2, SSTAT0 0x0 SCB count = 20 Kernel NEXTQSCB = 14 Card NEXTQSCB = 18 QINFIFO entries: 18 6 12 13 17 1 15 8 Waiting Queue entries: Disconnected Queue entries: 15:11 9:0 17:9 QOUTFIFO entries: Sequencer Free SCB List: 12 18 16 8 4 10 5 13 11 3 6 14 0 2 1 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Pending list: 8 15 1 17 13 12 6 18 16 11 0 9 Kernel Free SCB list: 5 10 19 7 3 2 4 sg[0] - Addr 0x4e6a000 : Length 4096 sg[1] - Addr 0x4e8b000 : Length 4096 (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): Other SCB Timeout (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): SCB 0xb - timed out in Command phase, SEQADDR == 0xa9 STACK == 0x9b, 0x167, 0x151, 0x0 SXFRCTL0 == 0xa0 ahc0: Dumping Card State at SEQADDR 0xa9 SCSISEQ = 0x12, SBLKCTL = 0x2, SSTAT0 0x0 SCB count = 20 Kernel NEXTQSCB = 14 Card NEXTQSCB = 18 QINFIFO entries: 18 6 12 13 17 1 15 8 Waiting Queue entries: Disconnected Queue entries: 15:11 9:0 17:9 QOUTFIFO entries: Sequencer Free SCB List: 12 18 16 8 4 10 5 13 11 3 6 14 0 2 1 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Pending list: 8 15 1 17 13 12 6 18 16 11 0 9 Kernel Free SCB list: 5 10 19 7 3 2 4 sg[0] - Addr 0x4b6a000 : Length 4096 sg[1] - Addr 0x4c0b000 : Length 4096 (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): Other SCB Timeout (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): SCB 0x10 - timed out in Command phase, SEQADDR == 0xa9 STACK == 0x9b, 0x167, 0x151, 0x0 SXFRCTL0 == 0xa0 ahc0: Dumping Card State at SEQADDR 0xa9 SCSISEQ = 0x12, SBLKCTL = 0x2, SSTAT0 0x0 SCB count = 20 Kernel NEXTQSCB = 14 Card NEXTQSCB = 18 QINFIFO entries: 18 6 12 13 17 1 15 8 Waiting Queue entries: Disconnected Queue entries: 15:11 9:0 17:9 QOUTFIFO entries: Sequencer Free SCB List: 12 18 16 8 4 10 5 13 11 3 6 14 0 2 1 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Pending list: 8 15 1 17 13 12 6 18 16 11 0 9 Kernel Free SCB list: 5 10 19 7 3 2 4 sg[0] - Addr 0x4aec000 : Length 8192 (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): BDR message in message buffer (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): SCB 0x10 - timed out in Command phase, SEQADDR == 0xa9 STACK == 0x9b, 0x167, 0x151, 0x0 SXFRCTL0 == 0xa0 ahc0: Dumping Card State at SEQADDR 0xa9 SCSISEQ = 0x12, SBLKCTL = 0x2, SSTAT0 0x0 SCB count = 20 Kernel NEXTQSCB = 14 Card NEXTQSCB = 18 QINFIFO entries: 18 6 12 13 17 1 15 8 Waiting Queue entries: Disconnected Queue entries: 15:11 9:0 17:9 QOUTFIFO entries: Sequencer Free SCB List: 12 18 16 8 4 10 5 13 11 3 6 14 0 2 1 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Pending list: 8 15 1 17 13 12 6 18 16 11 0 9 Kernel Free SCB list: 5 10 19 7 3 2 4 sg[0] - Addr 0x4aec000 : Length 8192 (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34b ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset. 12 SCBs aborted To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
