WatchGuard x750e Hard drive install

[Sacrilegious]

Hello Chap's

I'm trying to get a full HDD install on my Watchguard x750e, however i am having some issues.
I have a blank compact flash inserted (set to  IDE Channel 0 Master=[Manual] Access Mode=[CHS] Head=[2], Not sure if this makes a difference) my HDD set to slave.

I was sooo happy when i finally saw it booting, however i was then presented with…...  :'(

Fatal trap 18: integer divide fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
instruction pointer    = 0x20:0xc0bcdcab
stack pointer          = 0x28:0xc14208ac
frame pointer          = 0x28:0xc1420924
code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                        = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process        = 0 (swapper)
trap number            = 18

Pfsense was firstly installed on a laptop (developers install), after which i enabled the serial port.

Please see below all the output given:

Hi.  :)

This is interesting.

I was sooo happy when i finally saw it booting

Sounds like you spent a while trying. Did you find that the only way it would boot from the HD was with the CF card in place? Not that I think it would make any adds either but what size card is it? Have you tried with the original Watchguard CF card? What size is your HD?

It seems to have failed during process 'swapper'. TBH I'm not certain how to read that but it seems likely that it has failed to either setup swap allocation or access it somehow. Have you tested the RAM or the HD?

If you put your bootup output in a code box the formatting won't get messed up on the forum making it easier to read.

Hello Steve,

Indeed, as they say nothing worth having comes easy….... , but i didn't spend an obscene amount of time on it, a couple of hours messing around in a lab at work. Besides I do like playing  ;D . With no compact flash I was getting nothing on the console at 9600, i am actually using a blank 128MB (actually just unpackaged and bunged in, as i didnt have a Media card reader on me). No i haven't used the WG Flash, is it worth a try? its an old 30Gig laptop drive

It seems to have failed during process 'swapper'. TBH I'm not certain how to read that but it seems likely that it has failed to either setup swap allocation or access it somehow. Have you tested the RAM or the HD?

Ahh well, that sounds difficult to TS. I havent tested the RAM, though i have seen similar errors on Cisco gear actually due to faulty RAM, but i believe everything was working when it was running the Firebox OS, though I never tested. I will need to talk to a co worker who i got it off. well the HD installed alright and booted fine on a old laptop, I did install the developers version, could that be the issue. The option for No VGA and Serial connectivity didnt boot on the laptop?

If you put your bootup output in a code box the formatting won't get messed up on the forum making it easier to read.

Noted.

Strange there is no ad device reported by the startup output.

Not sure what that is TBH, to what does it relate?

Your hard drive should be reported ad ad0 (or ad1 or ad2 …). Hard drives are normally reported after USB buses: see following extract from startup output on my system:

It might be worth doing a verbose boot (option 7 at the menu then boot -v at the prompt) to try to narrow things down a bit more.

[Sacrilegious]

Shall get the output later today. I just used the defaults then installing was that okay, could this be an issue with BIOS changes? shall I restore the defaults?

[stephenw10]

@Sacrilegious:

I did install the developers version, could that be the issue.

What exactly do you mean by this? Which image did you install from?

I suggested trying the Watchguard CF card because it definitely works. Most people use a CF card that is at least 1GB which will not boot by default. However since your substitute card is only 128MB it probably won't make much odds.

I'm just trying to find a dmesg from an X750 under 2.0.1. I'm sure I have one here somewhere….  ::)

pfSense-2.0.1-RELEASE-i386. is the image I am using,

Ok I will have a go shortly with the WG CF just to rule it out,

Aswell as booting into verbose moode

Couldn't find it so I powered up my test box.
This is running the 2.0.1 Nano install from CF.

Your log gets to exactly where it should be recognising ad0 and crashes.
Interestingly, but perhaps irrelevantly, my box finds all 5 USB buses before looking at subdevices. Yours does not. Do you have any USB devices somehow plugged in? You'd have to have soldered on a port to do it!

dmesg.boot.txt

[Sacrilegious]

Verbose output attached:

"ata0-master: pio=PIO2 wdma=UNSUPPORTED udma=UNSUPPORTED cable=40 wire"

This seems to be the culprit,

Any Ideas how i can kick its arse into gear?

@Sacrilegious:

"ata0-master: pio=PIO2 wdma=UNSUPPORTED udma=UNSUPPORTED cable=40 wire"

I believe the CF card is the master on on the first IDE channel. It does not support UDMA, that's correct.
The HD should be set to slave, is it? I don't think this is the problem.

Steve

Edit: You posted while I was typing. So yes the above message simply reflects that the CF card doesn't support DMA. It's not a problem.

Edit: PS the quote box doesn't work, you have to use the code box to preserve formatting.  ;)

[stephenw10]

Probably not relevant but with such a small CF card you should leave everything set to auto. Do not use CHS, heads=2.

Steve

[Sacrilegious]

One possible thing it may be,

during the installation i get :

"acd0: Failure - READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 etc etc etc. Could this be the issue, though it doesnt stop PFsense loading correctly on the Laptop

I did install the developers version, could that be the issue.

What exactly do you mean by this? Which image did you install from?

Going through the installation process

1. Configure console
   I accept these settings

2. Tasks to perform
   Quick / Easy install

3. This will install without asking any questions
   OK

4. you may now wish to install a customer kernal configuration

Symetric Multiprocessing Kernal (more than on processor)
Embedded Kernel (No VGA Console Keyboard) No as nothing appears to happen and i cant get HTTP when doing 99 install
Developers Kernal (includes GDB etc) - i chose this

[Sacrilegious]

So Progress, well i think i have inserted the original CF and get a little bit further

Ah Ha.
Ok so the reason it was crashing before is that the BIOS was reporting completely the wrong size/geometry for the CF card with H=2. Which is interesting in itself as you need to do this to boot from larger CF cards and usually FreeBSD just ignores the BIOS by that point and reads the geometry directly.  :-
Anyway you're past that point now.
The mount root problem is because you installed pfSense in the laptop where the HD was connected as primary master (ad0). It's trying to mount it from there and failing. You need to tell it to mount from primary slave. At the mountroot> prompt type:

ufs:/dev/ad1s1a

It should then boot. When it has booted you then need to edit the fstab to make the change permanent.

I've beem reading this forum for almost a week and I have a similar problem as Sacrilegious, however I know my HDD address ad0, but is mounting.

Any help would be apreciated.

List of GEOM managed disk devices:
  ad0

vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw

At the mountroot> prompt why not try entering "?" (as suggested a few lines above the prompt) to see what bootable devices are present. It looks like the system has recognised the presence of ad0  and is attempting to mount ad0s1a as the root file system (

Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1a

) but it is clearly not working!

A verbose boot (see my earlier reply for instructions) might give furthuer information about your problem.
