Hi all,
i am trying to install dfbsd in a IBM Netfinity 5000 server:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-49JP55,
but I have several problems with the cdrom.
1) First i tryed the 1.2 release, this iso:
2CSNAP-20050731-1130-Release-1.2.iso.bz2
The cd even doesn't boot, i can't see the Boot Menu (the
dragonfly acsi), it freezes in the "BTX Loader".
2) Later i tryed the development iso:
2CSNAP-20050724-2330-Devel.iso.bz2
This cd boots, i can see the Boot menu, but when booting
the kernel it crashes when accessing to the ata, suppose the
atapi, the acd0 cdrom, with the following error:
acd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting
ata0: WARNING: atapi resetting donecount 28 for retry
ata0: resetting devices .. done
It repeats about 5-7 times, and after it kernel crashes:
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x20029
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc01a0c51
stack pointer = 0x10:0xc0715ca8
frame pointer = 0x10:0xc715ccc
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 0 (swapper)
current thread = pri 108 (CRIT)
kernel: type 12 trap, code=0
Stopped at acd_describe+0x7c0: movzbl 0x5(%eax),%eax
db>
Maybe it is DMA issue, the CD-Rom in the bios is in
PIO Mode 3, and i can't change it.
I can install fbsd (but i dont see after installation
the cdrom), windows 2000 server and nbsd loads the
installation. So the cdrom works fine.
I have installed dfbsd in a PII-233MMX clone and in a
portage 3490CT laptop without any problem, but now i
dont know what to do. I have probed all the boot
possibilities, without acpi, single-user, safe-mode,
etc. always same error.
Are there any boot option to set off the dma?
Isn't there any way to stop waiting for the cdrom?
3 retrys and after failure follow to load the kernel,
for example.
Thanks for your attention.

scalopus
