I'm setting up a Supermicro 1U server, (6014HX8B: dual Xeon, 2GB ram, hot swappable scsi backplane, dual GB nics, etc...) I tried installing FBSD 5.3 release on it, but I received the following error while booting: ata1-master: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out ata1-master: FAILURE - ATAPI_IDENTIFY timed out ata1-master: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE timed out Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x0 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc04b345c stack pointer = 0x10:0xc0c21cc0 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc0c21ccc code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) trap number = 12 panic: page fault uptime: 16s cannot dump. No dump device defined. Shutting down ACPI stray irq9 Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort This results in an endless reboot loop. I had no problem installing FBSD 5.3 Beta7 (developer set), so I sync'd the sources and rebuilt the kernel and world to see if I could update it this way to 5.3 RELEASE. On the first reboot after installing the new kernel (compiled with the GENERIC settings) I received the exact same error. Swapping out the new kernel with the old, returned me to a working system. The the only ATA device on this machine is the CDROM (on ATA1-master). If I try to disable the ATA device entries in the kernel and recompile, I then start having SCSI issues... For the record, there are no local HD on this machine, as it is booting from a raid array connected via a Fiber Channel adaptor (using the MPT driver) However, I tried removing the FC card and plugging in a SCSI drive, and the problem is exactly the same. If no one has any better ideas, where can I find a detailed description of the changes between 5.3 Beta7 and 5.3 Release? Thanks for any suggestions, Lapo Nustrini
