Issue #2899 has been updated by dpostolov.


Hi swildner!

I am downloaded new snapshot of DragonFly and test again:

#uname -a
DragonFly 4.5-Development v4.5.0.1066.gd5657 Sun May 29 14:21:34 UTC 2016 X86_64_Generic

#dmesg | grep mmcsd0
mmcsd0: 29GB <SDHC Memory Card> at mmc0 50Mhz/4bit
#diskinfo -q /dev/mmcsd0
/dev/mmcsd0 blksize=512 off=0 size=00077a000000 30624.00MB

Now I am try to select mmcsd0 as target disk, but size of mmcsd0 is void:

View Log:
Executing '/usr/bin/grep -w '^mmcsd0 [0-9]*MB' /var/run/dmesg.boot >> /tmp/survey.txt || /bin/echo 'mmcsd0' >> /temp/survey.txt'

I am think, that Installer try to find the string "MB", but SD card in dmesg detected as "GB" size, then Installer print void space about SD card parameters.

If manually edit /var/run/dmesg.boot and to replace "29GB" to "30624MB" then:

Lets to go Step by step to find a solution:
1. Correct value of mmcsd0 parameters in Installer target disk menu
2. Installation DragonFly to SD card.

If to select mmcsd0 as target disk, Installer try to format mmcsd0 and print:
"The sole primary partition of the disk mmcsd0 was not correctly formatted, and may now be in on inconsistent state. We recommend re-formatting the disk before attempting to install DragonFly BSD on it."

P.S. On FreeBSD bsdinstall successfully install FreeBSD to this SD card.

Hi to all DragonFly BSD developers and Community!
 
Sorry for my bad English...
 
I am try to install DragonFly BSD to my mini-PC Intel NUC5PPYH CPU Intel N3700, latest at this time BIOS 0050, to SD card Sony 32GB. NUC5PPYH BIOS supports booting Linux/FreeBSD from SD card.
 
uname -a
DragonFly dfw-7732.localdomain 4.5-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly v4.5.0.763.g541aa16-DEVELOPMENT #0: Tue Mar 29 10:54:30 UTC 2016    root at pkgbox64.dragonflybsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC  x86_64
 
FreeBSD 10.3 successfully installed and works from SD card, but DragonFly is not. As I am understand, DragonFly detected SD, but Dfly Installer cant support geometry of this mmcsd0.
 
How I can install DragonFly BSD to SD card?
 
I am booted from USB stick and can installing Dfly to USB stick or HDD (later, afrer buying new HDD after failed previous), DragonFly Installer: Select a disk on which to install DragonFly BSD.
<da8: 7643MB (15654848 512 byte sectors: 255 63S/T 974C) > # This is bootable USB stick-installer
<mmcsd0> [void space]
 
If select mmcsd0, then Dfly Installer say about error. As I am understand, Installer cant recognized geometry of SD.
 
ls /dev/mmc* # on mmcsd0 installed version of FreeBSD 10.3
/dev/mmcsd0 /dev/mmcsd0s0 /dev/mmcsd0s1 /dev/mmcsd0s2
 
pciconf -lv
sdhci_pci0 at pci0:0:18:0 class=0x080501 card=0x20608086 chip=0x22968086 rev 0x21 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
class = base peripherial
subclass = SD host controller
 
dmesg | grep sd
sdhci_pci0:< Generic SD HCI > mem 0x8141b000 - 0x8141bfff irq 18 at device 18.0 on pci0
sd hci_pci0:1slot(s) allocated
mmc0:<MMC/SD bus> on sdhci_pci0
mmcsd0:29GB < SDHC Memory Card > at mmc0 50Mhz/4bit
 
On FreeBSD different output data is:
 
dmesg | grep sd
mmcsd0:32GB < SDHC SD32G 3.0 SN7C400885 MFG 02/2015 by 39 PH > at mmc0 50Mhz/4bit/65535-block
