Hello list,
I have decided to give FreeBSD a try but I am having a issue that I need
help with. I apologize for the length of the email. I just want to
ensure that I give enough information to see if anyone can help.
Well I am running FreeBSD 4.8. It (FreeBSD) is installed on the second
hdd on my system. Which is ad1. The first drive ad0 has windows and
SuSE linux on it. I have been able to get FreeBSD to boot and it seems
to work properly. But when I try and copy a file from a CD to the
FreeBSD drive, I get some error messages.
Below is the procedure that I used to try and copy the file and the
error messages that come with it.
# mount /cdrom
(system tells me that the cd is mounted with Rock Ridge extensions)
# cp /cdrom/some-file ~
(And now the messages)
ad1: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
ata0: resetting devices -- done
This one repeats for about 5 times.
Then this one occurs.
ad1: removed from configuration done
handle_workitem_freeblocks: block count
>From here on out, I cannot control the system and have to do a hard
reboot :(
This is with a 75M file that I am trying to transfer over.
After the reboot, I try with a smaller file. It will transfer but will
give at least one of the ad1: WRITE messages. I tried the above file
again and I was greeted with the WRITE errors but it finally completed.
Judging by the error messages, the system is telling me that there is a
problem with the drive. Well I shutdown the system and looked again at
the jumpers on the drives. They are set correctly. Next I go out to
the net and get a diagnostic utility for the hard drive and run it on
the drive. It passed with flying colors. I even reinstalled FreeBSD
and even installed the 5.1 to see if the same thing occurs and it does.
Does anyone have a clue what might be going on here? Any help will be
appreciated!
I noticed when I install FreeBSD that it somehow changed how the drive
is seen in BIOS. Before installation with the drive wiped clean it
shows up as a LBA drive. After installation, it shows up as a CHS
drive. During the probes that occur when installing, I see that it sees
2 "c" drives and 2 "d" drives. Is this normal??
Again thanks for the help!
