I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.3 AMD64 on twin Operton with 8Gb RAM using Tyan S2882 Thunder K86 motherboard and LSI MegaRAID SCSI controller. Almost every time I try to install at some point in the process I get some kind of panic usually: Panic: ufs_dirbad: bad dir But also had Panic ufs_dstrib Panic vm_fault:fault on no fault entry Looking around there seemed to be some discussion about the use of use of various BIOS settings away from the defaults such as the MTTR (change from Continuous to Discrete) and altering the memory config to AUTO. And finally I wonder if for a server the ACPI settings for power saving need to be altered or switched off. Or does 5.3 just not like all this memory :-( I did once manage to complete the install but then had other problems and had to start again so there doesn't seem to be any consistency. It seems to fall over at various points in the process from early on to way into the ports install. Trying to work out if is a memory problem / BIOS issue or something to do with the configuration of the LSI MegaRAID controller. Any ideas tips or thoughts would be very gratefully received.
