Hi,
I recently upgrade the FreeBSD from 5.4-Stable to 6.0 RC1.
The FreeBSD run on the VMWare GSX 3.2 with LSI Logic SCSI Adapter.
the root was mounting from ufs:da0s1a
When I upgrade to 6.0. the FreeBSD can't mount from ufs:da0s1a
It work fine on 5.4-Stable.
the problem seems cause by the GEOM managed disk device can't us the LSI
Logic SCSI Adapter.
the following is capture from the screen:
mpt0: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0x1080-0x10ff mem
0xf4000000-0xf4000ffff irq 9 at device 16.0 on pci0
mpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
mpt0: MPI Version=1.2.0.0
mpt0: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event 0xa.
Mounting root from ufs:da0s1a
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem
<fstype>
eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot>
I tried: Input ?
List of GEOM managed disk devices:
cd0 acd0
mountroot> ufs:/dev/da0s1a
but that fails too.
AS compare:
under FreeBSD5.4-Stable:
List of GEOM managed disk devices can show many da device, such as: da0s1a ...
the following is captured from the 5.4-Stable boot screen:
mpt0: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0x1080-0x10ff mem
0xf8000000-0xf8000ffff irq 17 at device 16.0 on pci0
Only one line information about mpt device.
does the MPT device cause this problem?
any assistance would be gladly appreciated.
regards,
Alex Qin
