WD/SMC 8013 (ed0) ethernet adapter, at either 0x09 0x280 0xd4000 or 0x05 0x280 0xd8000 (default) (fails both ways) or 3Com 3c503 at 0x05 0x280 0xd8000 (fails with this card too) Boot from boot.flp -c, change ed0 irq 9 iomem 0xd4000. OR Boot from boot.flp and make no config changes. Newfs all partitions. Select Developer with DES OR Select Minimal install (fails both ways) FTP from local system 165.164.6.15/h/freebsd specify systemname "skaro.lonestar.org", no gateway, no DNS, IP 165.164.6.19 mask 255.255.0.0 no options (FYI, specifying a gateway and DNS does not fix the problem) >Description: After optionally overriding the memory and IRQ settings, I selected Developer install and DES or just minimal install. Download from specified FTP site appeared to go without incident. Finally the screen says: Information Dialog Saving any boot -c changes to new kernel... panic: Going nowhere without init! syncing disks... 93 93 92 85 78 66 52 26 6 done Rebooting in ten seconds... I stopped the reboot by pressing a key. (It is a pity that selecting another screen after aborting the reboot counts as a "proceed-to-reboot" command. It would be nice to allow that if possible for faster debugging. But I digress.) Rebooted, selected same options, re-newfs'ed the partitions and received the same error at the same point. On the third thru fifth attempts, I changed the EEPROM settings on the network card so that there would be no kernel configuration changes to save, thinking that would help or skip the part of the code that was having problems. It did not help. I also started asking for minimal install to speed the failures up. So the choice of installation package doesn't seem to matter. However, I left the system on screen F2 during these installs and received: sysinstall in free(); chunk is already free init died signal 0, exit 1 After a few seconds the system reboots. Attempting to go to screen F1 with one keystroke combination (ALT+F1) causes continuous beep and system eventually reboots anyway. This system had installed 2.2-ALPHA (and did a complete 'make world') with no incidents with exactly the same hardware and boards installed. 2.2-ALPHA was installed using the same FTP method via the SMC card. I did not try installing 2.1.6 or 2.1.6.1 on the system so I don't know about those behave on this platform. Before 2.2-ALPHA, the system had 2.1.5 running without incident and installed via FTP too. On the 6th 2.2-BETA attempt, I removed the system cache and the problem did not go away. On the 7th attempt, I left cache out and replaced network card with a 3C503 (I was unable to get another type 3Com card to be detected), which still uses the ed0 driver. The install failed in the same way. On the 8th attempt, I had a cable unplugged, so the commit aborted. After fixing the cable, I simply did an extract. It went to completion without error. I then issued a Commit again (it wanted me to redeclare the distribution) and then the panic occurred without doing any of the FTPs. The 2.2-BETA modules were downloaded around 2-Jan-97 from www.freebsd.org and appear to be complete/correct. Again, installing 2.2-ALPHA on this system (with cache and the SMC network card present) works fine. >How-To-Repeat: See above. >Fix: I have not been able to find a workaround. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
