Recently under amd64 and 9.1-STABLE I am seeing issues with the bce driver. Message is "Warning: bootcode thinks driver is absent". After this message, the box appears to be wedged. After rebooting, it got the same message during fsck. So we installed 9.2 pre-release using a snapshot iso from 7/13/13. Shortly after boot we got the same message. We are now in the process of installing 9.1 rele...

So, I've long known and it makes sense that when you're booted from a ZFS volume, you can't mess with the boot-loader. And, I know a few months ago I had a set of commands I would use when booted from a CD that would initialize the network and copy the "release/boot" from somewhere else so that I could install bootblocks and boot-loaders from more recent code. Sadly, I

...klawisz Machine is VM running under KVM on Proxmox 2.3-13. VM has 8 GB of RAM, 400 GB of local storage with SCSI Controller type: Default (lsi). I'm not sure what I did to make this VM unbootable. I've installed 9.2-PRERELEASE, did source based upgrade to r253470, mergemaster, reinstalled bootcode and rebooted. To this point VM was bootable. Then I did installworld from /usr/src to ezjail's basejail (ezjail-admin update -i), did mergemaster for jails, install some ports - none of this should mess with booting. I rebooted VM and got unbootable system. When I boot from liveCD I can impor...

Hi, Is there anything known about ZFS under 10.0-BETA4 when FreeBSD was upgraded from 9.2-RELEASE? I have two servers, with very different hardware (on is with soft raid and the other have not) and after a zpool upgrade, no way to get the server booting. Do I miss something when upgrading? I cannot get the error message for the moment. I reinstalled the raid server under Linux and the other

...t the same message. I upgraded the BIOS from version P01-A3 to version P01-A4 (the newest available), still no dice. If I use the usb stick I installed from, I can select the boot device, and actually boot from it, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the SSD. I tried: kg-vm2# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0 bootcode written to ada0 in case there was something wrong with the bootcode, but I still get the message "ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed." gpart shows this: root@kg-vm2# gpart show ada0 => 34 250069613 ada...

...s. Now to my questions: - How does the UNDI work? - I belive: the PXE boot code in the BIOS configures the NIC to be in "UNDI mode"? - Does a Rom-O-Matic created Boot Floppy also set the NIC in "UNDI mode" as well? (If not, any other option?) The customer belive the BootCode in the Dell BIOS is causing this problem. I am thinking: - If he boot with a Rom-O-Matic created disk instead of using the BIOS boot code, we can verifi if this is a problem with the Boot Code in the Dell BIOS or not. What do you think?

Hello there I built development version of syslinux from git 6.04-pre3-3-(sometag) and I am trying to boot a slackware-current system with it. I do not use a separated partition for `/boot`. It's just `/dev/sda1` here for `/` and `/boot` is just a folder. I simply use `mbr.bin` against a DOS partition table and the first partition having the bootable flag. With this layout, the only

Dear Syslinux folks, For a firmware update I am following the Gentoo Wiki [1] to create a floppy image of 20 MB, so that the vendor update utility fits. Unfortunately, FreeDOS does not load, and it seems to hang loading the FreeDOS kernel. The original FreeDOS image boots. Do you know if that issue is memdisk related? It?s started from GRUB with the commands below. linux16 /boot/memdisk

Hi I just did a system update and after I've rebooted it doesn't boot up any more. All I'm getting is a blank screen with a curser blinking at the top left corner of the screen. This system was running 7.0-STABLE Any ideas as to how I can get it back up? Regards Reinhold

I've been deploying FreeBSD 9 without issue on a number of near-identical servers for a client, but have run into an interesting annoyance when I hit the two DB servers. These DB servers have an LSI 3ware 9750-8i (running a 6 disk RAID 10 in a single 3TB virtual volume) which puts them apart from the other two servers in this cluster (which don't show either issue I am about to

Hello, I've recently purchased Adit 600 with 3FXS and 1FXO to be connected to my * server via T100P card. This is the output of "status equipment" command in the Adit600: For some reason the FXO card is seen as FXS, why? Is it ok? On the card it is written "FXO".

I was mad as hell, especially as it is the same Compaq that used "clean room" approach to re-create IBM PC bootcode (phoenix BIOS it was called later IIRC), and got 50 or more times more than invested in the revenues the very first year they started selling "IBM PC compatible"... Anyway, I decided to keep the beast, there was no 64 bit alternative laptop then, and get strong allergy to Compaq. Also, I...

I've been using linux:TC from a USBstik in order to not break the M$ capability, as previously always happened. Since TC runs in RAM, it has many extra problems; like reinstalling all the apps and your private settings at each boot. The sample isolinux.cfg which I've been emailed by the oficianado is very unfamiliar and worrying. Where is the official syntax ? -- Without knowing if/how

Hi. I experimented a bit with collecting entropy from the time it takes for device_attach() to run (in CPU cycles). It seems that those times have enough variation that we can use it for entropy harvesting. It happens even before root is mounted, so pretty early. On the machine I'm testing it, which has minimal kernel plus NIC driver I see 75 device_attach() calls. I'm being very careful
