To: Cc: Subject: FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE Install problems, BOOT FAILURE after fresh installation Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. I have the follwoing problem: Server box with hardware as decribed below: ASUS A7V, AMD TBird 850 MHz, 512 MB RAM (2x 256 MB PC133 ECC), Intel EtherExpress NIC, LSI Logic 21040-33 Ultra 160 SCSI adapter and three IBM drives, as shown in the dmesg-output below. This configuration works very well and stable. Now we would like to change the harddrives and I got two IBM DDYS 18GB drives, new, fresh low level formatted. After booting from the last FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE ISO image CD I installed on the first hard drive two slices and set the first one bootable (Option A). All the others were installed the usual way and when sysinstall asks for how to leave the bootblock I tell it to install a "normal bootblock". So far. I can see how fast the installation proceeds and after rebooting I run into the problem that there is no bootblock. For the first time I tried to reduce the clock of the Ultra160 SCSI controller so it should work with 80,40 or 20 MB/s, but that did not work either. As you can see, the working configuration operates at 40 MB/s maximum, SE, not LVD. Has anyone any idea what's going wrong? If it should be asured that the hardware is faulty (as it seems the first view to me) I should check more sophisticated next time, but if there is a known problem in FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE in installing boot= blocks you should inform me. Thanks a lot for your help in advance. O. Hartmann Copyright (c) 1992-2001 The FreeBSD Project.
