WRAP boot fails

xgcssch · Nov 14, 2005, 11:25 AM

Hi!
Some weeks ago i bought a Wrap 1E-2 Board and i'm still struggeling to get PFSense to run.
Since then i tried 3 different CF cards and 2 cardreaders but the result is still the same:
the board boots but after mounting the CF card a page fault occurs.
Sometimes the symptoms are a little different and i'm prompted to enter the path to sh, but it always ends up in a non working system.
I tried monowall as well, but it has problems too and does not come up.
All Linux based system like WrapCOP or StarOS work fine, so it seems not to be a hardware problem.
I have used phsyswrite from windows an dd from a FreeBSD System.
I posted this already on the support list, but the only answer was from Scott to wait until PFSense is based on the FreeBSD 6 Final. Has anyone an idea?

Thanks Soenke

What image are you using? Please try this one: http://pfsense.tifrere.com/downloads/pfSense-Embedded-0.90.img.bin.gz
I have been running pfSense on WRAPs from the first release that supported the WRAP-Platform and never had this issue. Also a lot of other people are running WRAPs fine. If not sure how to install please see our tutorial http://pfsense.tifrere.com//tutorials/wrap_install/wrap_install.htm

xgcssch · Nov 14, 2005, 4:38 PM

Thanks Hobo!
I did 'exactly' what is described in the flash tutorial.
I tried the .90 image, the .89 and a very old .7x - all with the same problem.
I can mount the images from my FreeBSD box and they fschk ok.
Will try your image on Friday, 'cause i'm currently out at a customer site.

This is just an ordinary .90 image from one of the mirrors, nothing special about it. So if you tried .90 already it should be the same but give it another try.

Hello,
i just tried again to get pfSense running but i - again - failed.
I installed staros and it immediately worked.
I don't know what to do now.
The normal installation process is so easy, i don't think i did anything wrong.
I tried upgrading the bios to 1.10 but this did't work either.
One question: the PCEngines WRAP manual states that if there are problems during the boot with CF cards, IDE DMA should be disabled in the OS. The boot log shows PIO4 Mode for the card. The DMA option should not matter here. Is this right?
Any other ideas?
I am really desperate!
Thanks
Soenke

@xgcssch

lucky you are…. my WRAP does not booting at all :( Had no problem with m0n0, but i want some more Wireless Cards to be supported. I tried 3 different CF-Cards, different Card Readers (USB) and different images. Also tried to play with LBA and CHS mode - no luck. My WRAP is the 1D wich revision do you have ? or who has pfSense running on wich revision ?

(9) 9600 baud 3 38400 baud (5) 57600 baud
C CHS mode (L) LBA mode
(E) Etherboot enable
(U) USB enable
D Conservative DRAM timing
R Serial console enable
(X) Xmodem upload (Q) Quit
Save changes Y/N ?
Writing setup to flash... OK

Watch the tutorial at pfsense.com. You didn't set the wrap bios to 9600 baud. Your's is set to 38400 and you access it with that speed. once pfsense is botting up it switches to 9600 (that's the default speed used by pfsense), so actually pfsense is booting up but showing crap because of the wrong consolespeed. set your terminalemulation to 9600 and you'll see crap for the bios messages but once pfsense took over for boot up it will display fine.

@hoba

thanks very much….that was it... i remember now that i had set bios to 38400 as m0n0 had this as standard i think.

pfSense is up and running ;D

good to hear :)
