Hello. I am trying to install the 3.0-19981009-BETA release. Here is my
hardware configuration:
AMD K6-233 (one of the latest revisions)
Intel TX chipset motherboard w/512KB cache
64 MB SDRAM
AdvanSys ABP-940 SCSI host adapter, SCSI ID 7
IBM DCAS 2.2 GB Ultra SCSI drive, SCSI ID 0
IBM DCAS 2.2 GB Ultra SCSI drive, SCSI ID 1
Fujitsu 405 MB Fast SCSI-2 drive, SCSI ID 2
NEC 3X SCSI CD-ROM, SCSI ID 3
S3 Virge-based PCI video card
SMC EtherPower II (9432TX) PCI Ethernet card
PS/2 Logitech mouse
I have a dedicated internet connection via the ethernet. The way I
partition and label the drives for installation are as follows:
Drive 0 (IBM 2.2 GB):
400MB FAT16 (Windows 95 resides here)
Remainder FreeBSD FS, mount at: /
Leave MBR alone (I had planned on installing System Commander later)
Drive 1 (IBM 2.2 GB):
Dedicated FreeBSD FS, mount at: /home
Drive 2 (Fujitsu 405 MB):
Dedicated FreeBSD
202 MB SWAP
202 MB FreeBSD FS, mount at: /scratch
I had planned to run the /var and /usr directories off the root FS
partition.
At boot-time, I configure the kernel and disable all devices that I don't
have (including ISA ethernet and SCSI cards, etc).
Once I get the installation via FTP started (from ftp.freebsd.org), it
progresses to 34% and then crashes. The progress bar reads "Extracting
bin into / directory..."
The stats bar at the bottom reads: "9438208 bytes read from bin dist,
chunk 40 of 116 @ 13.4kB/sec"
The error messages are as follows:
Panic: ufs_dirbad: bad dir
Syncing disks... 143 143 143 70 40 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 giving up
(da2:adv0:0:2:0): . CDB: 35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
(da2:adv0:0:2:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc: 20,0
(da2:adv0:0:2:0):
And then of course, the automatic reboot stuff, etc.
It seems that it's having problems with SCSI device 2, which is the
Fujitsu drive. I have scanned the drive for bad sectors with Norton Utils
and SpinRite (there aren't any). I have also used the disk heavily under
Windows 95 and NT and there have been no problems with it. Thus I don't
know why it would have problems with the Fujitsu.
Also, the rest of the hardware has also been run under 95 and NT and works
fine.
Can anyone tell me how to go about getting this resolved?
PLEASE CC replies to me personally.
Thank you.
