Hi, hackers, While I checked 2.1-960627-SNAP's boot floppy, I found one kernel fault prob. 1. I've used 2.1 RELEASE for a while. It works fine. HW: Pentium & TRITON chipset PCI mother Adaptec PCI SCSI card (2940), NO geometry translation Quantum Fireball 540S (all for FreeBSD) 16Mbytes memory, no 2nd cache X-< 2. Today, I attached Seagate BARRACUDA 4(ST15150N) SCSI disk (about 4G bytes) as second disk(Quantum = SCSI-ID 0 and sd0, Seagate = SCSI-ID 1 and sd1), check the disk with adaptec's BIOS utility, then format the disk with same util. All HW seems good. I boot 2.1 RELEASE. OK. Probe perfectly, but unconfigured. 3. Then I boot with 2.1-960627-SNAP, then division by zero error.... I tried several times, but all the same... 4. I changed adaptec's setting (enable geometry translation for DOS), then boot MS-DOG 6.2, and fdisk it. One 2G partition(slice) was created. Again, I boot with 2.1-960627-SNAP, then.... it boot perfectly! I'm not sure which is the point: * geometry translation setting * writing partition (MBR?) but I have no more time today. If you have already fixed this probrem, please ignore this mail. You, all hackers, should be very busy now! Thanks in advance. And I believe all hacker's work, and success of FreeBSD :-> Koji HINO, from Japan
