I have a problem. I'm setting up a computer for a client, with a Adaptec 2400A Raid card, its ATA. Using 3 40gb WD HD's. He wants Raid 5 with 2 partitions. He wants to dual boot(don't know why, but anyways he's the client)Windows 98se(approx. 10gb) and FreeBSD 4.5(approx. 66gb). I setup and installed Windows98se. Then I setup and installed FreeBSD 4.5 using slices for / /var /tmp /usr and swap. FreeBSD worked fine for a couple of boots. Then it started with the error:
Mounting root from root
Can't allocate root mount for filesystem "root": 19
Root mount failed: 19
I booted partition magic 7.0 just to check it out. And turns out some partition values were missed matched.. Partition Magic fixed the missed matched values.
This worked fine for a little while. Then low and behold on a reboot. I got the same Root mount failed: 19 error.
I contacted adaptec on the issue they have no idea whats going on. I'm stumpped because this problem lies beyond my knowledge. I really need some input on this problem. Maybe how to fix it, or what might be causing it...
Thanks....
