Hello,
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 8.0 IA64 on a Supermicro Itanium2 Server.

When I load the CD, the FreeBSD EFI Boot starts to load (FreeBSD 8.0,
etc...) and then 5 seconds later the screen goes blank/black and the server
reboots.
What could be the issue? I don't see any error messages or anything, it just
reboots.
Thanks a lot!

Use a serial console.

Hi,
I was able to connect a null-modem cable to this machine, and this is the
output:

*ehci0: USB init failed err=18

fatal kernel trap (cpu 0):

trap vector = 0x1e (Unaligned Reference)
cr.iip = 0xe000000004634400
cr.ipsr = 0x1210080a2010 (mfl,ic,dt,dfh,rt,cpl=0,it,ri=1,bn)
cr.isr = 0xa0400000000 (code=0,vector=0,r,ei=1,ed)
cr.ifa = 0xdeadc0dedeadc106
curthread = 0xe000000004ccd3e0
pid = 0, comm = swapper

panic: trap
cpuid = 0
Uptime: 1s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
--> Press a key on the console to reboot,
--> or switch off the system now.

Please advise,
Thanks.

It seems there's a problem with the USB 2.0 host controller.
The EHCI problem is causing the kernel panic due to an
uninitialized pointer dereference.

Can you tell me what FreeBSD version and can you also boot
verbose -- i.e. interrupt the boot in the loader and at the
loader prompt type:
boot -v


Also: do you get a "reset timeout" error immediately prior
to the "USB init failed" error?

Problem was solved by disabling USB @ BIOS.
Now I'm able to get into the INSTALL screen.

That's good news. With FreeBSD installed, it's easier to try a few
things to see what exactly is the issue.

I'm not sure if I should start another email chain or not, but now I'm
having problems at the Installation...

It pretty much says *"no disks found! Please verify that your disk
controller is being properly probed at boot time. See the hardware guide on
the Documentation menu for clues on diagnosing this type of problem."*

This is the "boot -v" until the installation point:

My motherboard is a SuperMicro i2dml-ig2 (
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Itanium/E8870/i2DML-iG2.cfm )
I've searched online, and changed all the settings possible @ Bios, but I'm
still getting the same problem.
Please Advise,
Thanks!

Problem *SOLVED.*
HDD was set to "Primary *Slave*", after changing it to *Primary Master* it
detected my HD, and I'm now able to proceed with the installation.
I've seen a LOT of topics online asking the same question, and I'm wonder if
this solution could apply to them all.

Thanks,
Mr. Itanium

You probably have a dead disk. Replace the disk and see what
happens. Notice how the disk wasn't probed at first as well:

There's no ad0 at all. You may want to check the RAID setting on
the controller. If it's enabled, disable it...

> Question n.2:
> How do I disable ACPI on boot on IA64 machines?

You can't. ACPI is mandatory. Nothing works without it. ACPI is at the
root of everything.

Did you move the hard disk onto another machine to do this?

I'm hitting another DEAD wall.

I finally got to the installation screen, it detects the HD, but "FreeBSD
DiskLabel Editor" is not able to WRITE/CHANGE anything on the HDD.

This is what I get when I try to WRITE something on the disk:

===============================================
*ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (0 retries left) LBA=0


GEOM: ad0: corrupt or invalid GPT detected.

GEOM: ad0: GPT rejected -- may not be recoverable.*
===============================================

And then I get a message saying it can't wirte on ad0 disk etc..


Question number 1:
*Any suggestions/help on resolving this?*

Question n.2:
*How do I disable ACPI on boot on IA64 machines?
*

Thanks a lot!

PS: HDD works fine under Debian Linux, using fdisk I'm able to
change/delete/add partitions without a problem, which makes me think it's
not a hardware issue.

Try booting from livefs disk and wipe the disk
clean. Choose Fixit shell, and do something like

if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1m

This helped me in the past. However, in my
case the disks were SCSI (da). IIRC I had
very similar problem installing on Alpha
ATA and SCSI disks.

Sorry, but those log files are old (when the HDD was set as a SECONDARY *
SLAVE*, so the disk wasn't being detected)


Now the disk is the PRIMARY *MASTER* and is being detected at boot.

Hi,
I cleaned the disk using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1M but it still
didn't resolve the issue..

FreeBSD Disklabel Editor SEES the HD empty, which is fine, but it can't
write anything on it..

Any more help?
Thanks!
