Hi Ion-Mihai, I had to abandon the installation on this HDD (5600 rpm slower device). Now, I installed the system on faster HDD (7200rpm) and was able to complete the installation last friday. This morning when I tried to boot-up the system, it bi-passed the logger and logged as root. After running fsck command, I, have recovered the system and was able to login. I have attached the messages file for your advise. I have managed to complete the installation on 300MHz system. Configuring the XFreeBSD was a bit of struggle. I have USB floppy drive and when I try to mount, it gives me error message 'msdosfs: /dev/fd0 No such device or file'. Please advise. Is there a way to modify the boot loader multiple os boot prompt? One of the options showing ?? When you use sysinstall to generate XFree86Config file, where this file is saved? Why the graphical configuration tool option always indicate the configuration unsuccessful? Please advise a.s.a.p. Kind Regards Gurdial Chandra Sycos AES ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ion-Mihai Tetcu" <itetcu@apropo.ro> To: "Admin" <admin@sycos.co.uk> Cc: "Dorin H" <bj93542@yahoo.com>; <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2003 10:07 AM Subject: Re: FreeBSD 5.1 PowerPak Installation problem > On Fri, 19 Dec 2003 16:49:36 -0000 > "Admin" <admin@sycos.co.uk> wrote: > > > Module pci/sf failed to register: 17 > > module_register: module sf/miibus already exists! > > Module sf/miibus failed to register: 17 > > ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting > > ata0: resetting devices .. > > done > > ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting > > ata0: resetting devices .. > > done > > ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting > > ata0: resetting devices .. > > done > > ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting > > ata0: resetting devices .. > > done > > /mnt: bad dir ino 2 at offset 0: mangled entry > > panic: ufs_dirbad: bad dir > > > > syncing disks, buffers remaining... 3829 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 3823 > > > Now we're getting somewhere - this is your problem; but I can help you > much. > > 1.
