>Number: 4832 >Category: bin >Synopsis: 2.2.5-RELEASE panic at install menu Buslogic SCSI >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu Oct 23 07:20:01 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: John Kelly >Organization: >Release: 2.2.5-RELEASE >Environment: Can't get that far >Description: 2.2.5-RELEASE panics a few seconds after displaying the main install menu. It says: syncing disks... panic: getnewbuf: inconsistent empty queue, qindex = 0 This problem only happens on a machine with a Buslogic 445C VLB controller and two SCSI disks. I tried it on a different machine which is IDE only, with no problem. On the Buslogic SCSI machine where the problem occurs, it happens every time. No matter whether I prune as many probes as possible or leave them all in, the result is the same. I even cleared the partition table from both disks and tried it again, but the problem still happens. >How-To-Repeat: Install on a machine with Buslogic 445C VLB SCSI. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
