Re: kernel panic under install CD boot (cd9660-related)

[Jan Martin Mathiassen <dfbsd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just did a bit more testing.

Windows XP: works fine.
Debian 3.0: hangs during bootup of install cd
Debian 4.0r4: works fine.
FBSD7.0: complains with the following:
<quote>
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 retry left)
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (0 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider acd0t01 is iso9660/FreeBSD_Install.

before apparently switching to a compatible mode of reading which works.
DFBSD1.1, 2.0, 2.1-DEVEL/DAILY (downloaded 2008.08.22): pops into
mountroot when it tries to mount the ide dvd drive. Tried with 2
different (and new) IDE cables as well, and also tried in a quadcore 
asus p5q with the exact same result. An old dual P3 box which I use as a 
firewall booted up just fine.

And just now I even tried to install it on the firewall (which doesn't 
die on itself during bootup of the install cd). That went fine, I tested 
that it supported a reboot, but when I moved the harddisk over to the 
asus p5n box in question, it dies during bootup. The last thing I see 
here is in the attached file "mountroot.txt".


So basically, something on the Asus p5n and p5q motherboards are too new 
to be supported, or there's a bug in the NATA module after it was ported 
from fbsd, because fbsd 7.0 works just fine.
