My computer's hardware are shown below:=20
CPU: Celeron 400MHz=20
Chipset: VIA VT82C691 + VT82C586B=20
BIOS: Award (1998)=20
Hard Disk: Maxtor 4D040H2 (40GB IDE)=20
Memory: 2*128MB SDRAM=20
At first, the BIOS couldn't recognize the new Maxtor Disk. I upgraded it =
to 2001,=20
and it worked. I planned to partition the disk as follow:=20
Primary Partition 1: 7.2GB, FAT32, (ad0s1), Windows XP Pro=20
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.=20
During the installation of FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, when the system is =
making the=20
/dev/ad0s3a, I see warning messages from virtual terminal 2:=20
Warning: Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group =
to 89.=20
Warning: inode blocks/cyl group (171) >=3D data blocks (64) in last =
cylinder=20
group. This implies 2048 sector(s) can't be allocated.=20
...=20
During the format process, I see following messages showing frequently:=20
ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=3D0 serv=3D0 - resetting=20
ata0: resetting devices ... done=20
After file system was made, the above messages still show intermittently =
during
the file copy process. Finally, system shows something like this and =
reboot:=20
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode=20
fault virtual address =3D ...=20
fault code / supervisor write, page not present=20
instruction pointer =3D ...=20
stack pointer =3D ...=20
frame pointer =3D ...=20
code segment =3D ...=20
=3D ...=20
processor eflags =3D ...=20
current process =3D ...=20
interrupt mask =3D ...=20
trap number =3D 12=20
panic: page fault=20
Or something like this:=20
panic: syncing disk ...=20
I then change the disk slices as follow:=20
/ =3D 128MB
swap =3D 256MB
/var =3D 384MB
/tmp =3D 256MB
/usr =3D every thing else
But the system still don't work.=20
After several times of defeat, I try to install FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE =
instead, which uses=20
wd driver for hard disks. Except the following warning message, nothing =
went wrong
-- the installation has been completely successful:=20
Warning: the last 2048 sector(s) can=C2=A1=C2=AFt be allocated.=20
What's the problem?=20
