wilko 2006-05-28 11:15:16 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: (Branch: RELENG_6) sys/alpha/conf GENERIC Log: Remove GEOM_GPT. I encountered repeatable Unaligned access panics similar to: fatal kernel trap: trap entry = 0x4 (unaligned access fault) cpuid = 0 faulting va = 0xfffffc0000fae1c2 opcode = 0x28 register = 0x1 pc = 0xfffffc00004d07dc ra = 0xfffffc00004d0a1c sp = 0xfffffe0031875bc0 curthread = 0xfffffc007da237a0 pid = 2, comm = g_event These occur when a floppy or a CD (the 6.1R install CD will do in most cases) is in the drive during boot. A floppy or CD inserted *after* the system was booted did not give me this problem. Interestingly enough booting from the 6.1-R install CD sometimes caused the crash, sometimes it did not. When it did not panic an installation of 6.1-R was possible without any incidents. A subsequent boot from HD with the CD still present sometimes(...) worked fine, sometimes paniced. Taking GEOM_GPT out of the kernel config file allows booting without incidents. We do not need GPT on Alpha, so this is the easy way out.
