The following reply was made to PR i386/27247; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Mark Hughes" <mark@dvdnews.co.uk> To: <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org>, "Mark Hughes" <mark@dvdnews.co.uk> Cc: Subject: Re: i386/27247: Panic on install - "page fault syncing discs" Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 01:29:42 +0100 Follow up: Managed to get it to complete install again, and boot, twice. First time it booted up with a "read command timeout" error then a loop of reseting devices, write error, resetting devices, etc, after the UDMA startup sequence. After this the filesystem got ruined and it would not boot again. Second time though I managed to boot and login, it failed to start up the DMA mode on startup so didn't go all haywire. Placed /sbin/sysctl -w hw.atamodes="pio,dma" into /etc/rc.conf which has allowed me to boot every time successfully and the DMA related error messages have gone. However, this obviously comes at the cost of abysmal hard drive performance. Hope this helps to narrow down where the problem lies.
