> A kernel supped around 7:30 EST yields the following messages at boot: >Mar 23 20:12:30 goof /kernel: sd0s1: start 0, end = 32767, size 2053880 >Mar 23 20:12:30 goof /kernel: sd0s1: C/H/S end 32767 != end 2053879: invalid There is a bug with the validity checking for disks with more than 1024 cylinders. It is impossible to check the validity reliably in this case, but check_part() in isa/diskslice_machdep.c tries anyway. If your disk has <= 1024 cylinders, then send me the output of `fdisk /dev/rsd0'. >Mar 23 20:12:30 goof /kernel: sd1s1: start 32, end = 204799, size 204768: OK >Mar 23 20:12:30 goof /kernel: sd1s2: start 204800, end = 2053879, size 1849080: OK This is the intended behaviour. The verbose messages will be turned off later. See other freebsd-current mail. >Mar 23 20:12:30 goof /kernel: sd1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice >Mar 23 20:12:30 goof /kernel: sd1: start 204800, end 2053879, size 1849080 >Mar 23 20:12:30 goof /kernel: sd1d: start 0, end 2053879, size 2053880 This is a normal invalid whole-disk partition. You might want to fix it by running disklabel. See other freebsd-current mail. I think old versions of FreeBSD-2.x force the d partition to be the whole disk, so backwards compatibility will not be lost. >Mar 23 20:12:30 goof /kernel: sd1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice >Mar 23 20:12:30 goof /kernel: sd1e: start 32, end 204799, size 204768 This looks like a normal non-BSD partition outside of the FreeBSD slice. See other freebsd-current mail. Fixing it by running disklabel will break backwards compatibility. >... > Did we change back to slice partitioning in the way that disklabel >wants, or is it still going to be done the way sysinstall does things. If so, >why do I get these messages, now? The old way isn't 100% compatible. The verbose messages are for debugging more serious problems than the above. Bruce
