Hello,
Since the end of 2006, I'm running a FreeBSD 6.x on this box:
- TYAN Tiger i7520SD motherboard
- 2 Intel Xeon LV Sossaman 1,66 GHz
- 2 Western Digital WD2500YS hard drives
- 1GB RAM
Two weeks ago, I've added a DLink DWL-G520 Wifi PCI card (ath
chipset), and turned this FreeBSD box into a wifi access point. Then,
the PC started to crash from time to time, always when I'm not at home.
Today, I've had the 2nd crash.
Symptom: the PC crashes and shows an "invalid partition" message when
I try to reboot it. The first time, after playing around with the
restore tools of the install CD, I've erased the HD, reinstalled,
then try to boot... only to read on the screen the infamous "invalid
partition" message. I've taken a look into the BIOS, changing boot
sequence, saving, re-changing, re-saving. The next reboot was an
happy ending. Then I've spent 1 day to restore my various files/
settings/softwares.
Today, I was a little bit more lucky, when I came back, the PC was
stuck, and the screen read:
ad4: FAILURE - device detached
subdisk4: detached
g_vfs_done():ad4s1f[WRITE(offset=84513456128, length=16384)]error = 6
ad4: det_avcfhse_dd
g_vfs_done():ad4s1f...
g_vfs_done():ad4s1a...
...
ad4 is my boot HD (the other one, ad6, is a backup drive, non-bootable)
I've rebooted, discovering ad4 was nowhere to be found (boot sequence
was slow, and the BIOS eventually disabled the first HD).
I've rebooted again, to enter the bios: first disk still missing
shutdown, unplug the 1st HD, reboot, shutdown, plug the 1st HD,
reboot -> victory. FreeBSD booted fine, and fsck did its job.
Now the box is up & running. No problem so far. I've removed the Wifi
PCI card, and removed wifi related settings in rc.conf and
loader.conf, just in case.
So my question is: is there any known incompatibility between ath
related kernel modules and any of my existing hardware, or has my HD
suddenly decided to die ?
Is there any way I could test my HD to detect/prevent failure ?
Any lead/idea is welcome,
thanks
patpro
