My computer's hardware are shown below:
CPU: Celeron 400MHz
Chipset: VIA VT82C691 + VT82C586B
BIOS: Award (1998)
Hard Disk: Maxtor 4D040H2 (40GB IDE)
Memory: 2*128MB SDRAM
At first, the BIOS couldn't recognize the new Maxtor Disk. I upgraded it to 2001,
and it worked. I planned to partition the disk as follow:
Primary Partition 1: 7.2GB, FAT32, (ad0s1), Windows XP Pro
Primary Partition 2: 4.0GB, UFS, ad0s3, FreeBSD
ad0s3a, 3840MB, mount as /
ad0s3b, 256MB, swap
Extended Partition: (ad0s2), Logical Disk 1 and 2: NTFS, Windows XP Pro
I setup Windows XP first, and install System Commander 7.04 as the boot manager.
During the installation of FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, when the system is making the
/dev/ad0s3a, I see warning messages from virtual terminal 2:
Warning: Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group to 89.
Warning: inode blocks/cyl group (171) >= data blocks (64) in last cylinder
group. This implies 2048 sector(s) can't be allocated.
...
During the format process, I see following messages showing frequently:
ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
ata0: resetting devices ... done
After file system was made, the above messages still show intermittently during
the file copy process. Finally, system shows something like this and reboot:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = ...
fault code / supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = ...
stack pointer = ...
frame pointer = ...
code segment = ...
= ...
processor eflags = ...
current process = ...
interrupt mask = ...
trap number = 12
panic: page fault
Or something like this:
panic: syncing disk ...
I then change the disk slices as follow:
/ = 128MB
swap = 256MB
/var = 384MB
/tmp = 256MB
/usr = every thing else
But the system still don't work.
After several times of defeat, I try to install FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE instead, which uses
wd driver for hard disks. Except the following warning message, nothing went wrong
-- the installation has been completely successful:
Warning: the last 2048 sector(s) can¡¯t be allocated.
What's the problem?
