Hello,
I'm using FreeBSD Release 2.1.0, and i have problems with my floppy
drive. When i read or write to a disk, i get a lot of error messages (log
follows) and sometimes it crashes the computer during writes (computer hang,
or panic+reboot). I've no problem with dos with the same disks (i've checked
this with many disks)
here is the messages i get (hope there are no errors, i'm copying this by hand)
this is only a sample, i don't want to flood everyone with the full log :)
when writing:
fdc0: cmd 3 failed ay out byte 1 of 3
fdc0: output ready timeout
fdc0: too many errors, not logging any more
(it got hung just after this one)
when reading:
fdc0: direction bit not set
fdc0: cmd e6 failed at out byte 1 of 9
if it panics during a write:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x29000000
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf016e6bb
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1,gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0
current process = 205 (cp)
interrupt mask = net tty bio
panic: page fault
syncing disks ... 25 25 25 25 25 (a lot of these) 25 25 giving up
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds, etc....
Hardware configuration:
486 (from Cyrix) + IDE Hard drive + cheap vga + two cheap NE2000 compatibles
Software:
FreeBSD 2.1.0R - The only change to kernel is the IP-Filter patch
Can anybody help me ?
is it a hardware or a software problem ?
should i try to use another floppy drive ?
Thanks in advance,
