Hi again !
Okay, from the start. My Config is a GA586DX, SCSI on board but EIDE disk.
In the beginning, FreeBSD 2.2-961014 installed. A first cvsup of smp-src
had some problems running, but the SMP-kernel came up to a login.
Now i did the following:
1) I ftped to ftp.de.freebsd.org and got the /pub/FreeBSD/2.2-ALPHA/src/*
Then i made the install.sh and got a nice /usr/src.
2) Made world - everything ok
3) cvsup the smp-src from cvsup.freebsd.org
4) made the "smp_active = mp_ncpus;"
5) First try:
options SMP
and omitting the rest, reboot and result:
Panic(cpu#0): Nobody wants to mount my root for me
6) Second try:
options SMP
options NCPU=2
options NBUS=2
options NAPIC=1
options NINTR=21
options APIC_IO
and result:
Panic(cpu#0): Nobody wants to mount my root for me
7) Third try:
options SMP
#options NCPU=2
#options NBUS=2
options NAPIC=1
#options NINTR=21
options APIC_IO
and result:
Panic(cpu#0): Nobody wants to mount my root for me
8) Silly idea. Switched back to
options SMP
and omitting the rest. But this time, i tried to keep out:
#controller pci0
#device de0
my (inoperational
#options PCI
reboot and result as above....
9) Final Countdown:
same conf as 8)
but now - boot from msdos-formatted floppy... :-)
Maybe you're laughing right now :-(
The ufs-filesystem is okay, FreeBSD 2.2-961014 boots and compiles
the SMP-Kernel just fine....
Does anyone of you boot from an EIDE-drive (disklabel says ESDI) ?
At this point, i've obly two ideas left:
a) to get out some old SCSI-Drive, repeat the procedure and see what happens.
b) try to get /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/* from somewhere.
c) try to play in smptests.h ?
d) The EIDE disk operates in BIOS-Mode LBA. Switch this to LARGE or NORMAL ?
The last could be crazy because there are other partitions....
What would you suggest to do ?
Thanks
Gunther
