Yeardley >Release: 4.0-RELEASE >Organization: >Environment: Unable to obtain due to installation failure. >Description: When installing either over the top of 3.4 or from scratch via local ftp everything is unpacked successfully. 'Making devices' pops up and after a minute or so comes up with 'MAKEDEV Returned non-zero result code'. Flipping to the shell which displays installation information shows that every 'MAKEDEV /dev/XXX' has failed with 'sig 11 - bus error - core dumped'. Error occurs when using Seagate 4.3GB IDE disk, but installation succeeds when using an old Samsung 500MB IDE disk. >How-To-Repeat: Boot using kern.flp+mfsroot.flp floppies Set to install from ftp server on private LAN Select any install method (eg. Custom) Select bin/man/catpages + any others of your choice Partition and label drive using defaults Commit Distributions are unpacked Begins making devices Error: MAKEDEV returned non-zero result code Flip to other shell (ALT-F2) >Fix: Installation worked on a Samsung 500MB IDE disk (approx 4 years old) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
