5.0-RC2 : panic on boot of installation disk
David
On my test machine, I wanted to install 5.0-RC2, but it fails already at
boot. I get this :
...
agp0: <Ali generic host to PCI bridge > ...
panic: contigmalloc1: size must not be 0
uptime: 1s
System wil reboot or press any key ... :(
FreeBSD 4.7 and Slackware-current run without any problems at all on this
machine : a 1 GHz Celeron/384 MB/13 GB HDD on a no-name S370
board, equipped with an ALi chipset.
Output from "lspci -v" :
00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M1621 (rev 04)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] PCI to AGP Controller (rev 01)

00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo Banshee (rev 03)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5 [Riva TNT2] (rev 20)
The nvidia is disabled in the BIOS (I don't like shared mem stuff).
Any ideas as to why 5.0-RC2 doesn't like this machine ?
Thx in advance.

This isn't good. :-(

The nvidia driver is irrelevant here. I think that you're
not get far enough into the boot process to even get close
to configure the video beyond the the simple vga mode.
I think you should post this message to the
freebsd...@freebsd.org mailing list. I don't know
if you'll get immediate help, but the developers will be
interested in this failure.
