I have problems when installing FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE. My computer=A1=AFs hardware is 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=A1=AFt 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 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=A1=AFt be allocated.=20 What=A1=AFs the problem with FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE?=20 yyzox To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
