What bios are you running?

Have a read through this thread. Identical issue:

ill give it a try, now only if I could see what the upgrade did instead of having to fix this new install
-
Start here
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=87312.msg479454#msg479454
Right at "Simply stop the boot"…
Worked for me. Thanks.
-
Tried this and no go, same error, same screen, same traceback info:
set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
set hw.ata.ata_dma="1"My HDD is primary and never was slave. BIOS is award BIOS v6
I do have the HW to flash BIOS chips directly and via CF card
The one I am working on is a new install not an upgrade.

Hi firebox,
I had the same problem (0xc0da8cf0) , can you post your boot.config.local please ?
Stephen already posted the link ;)it should be empty.
Also what bios are you using B6 ?
I suggest flashing it to B8 and set the HD to autogreetz

Ill get the boot conf tonight. I flashed the latest BIOS to the firebox, the one where you dont have to alter the HDD settings to have the system detect the HDD. I dont know what version it is
-
Found the newer BIOS, my file was called ESERM, ill flash XEBIOS_8.BIN tonight. Anyone try this BIOS yet? XEBIOS_81.BIN
-
-
my file was called ESERM
What file is that? Where did you get it from?
Steve
Yeah, that doesn't sound right !
anyway the XEBIOS_8.BIN is the correct one ;) -
I see a XEBIOS_8.BIN and XEBIOS_81.BIN file out there.
Whats the difference? I have x8500e and x5500e FBs.
Thanks!
-
I think you can use the XEBIOS_81.bin bios, but stephen is the person who can tell you exactly what the difference is.
-
I forgot to enable the ACPI menu in the bios on version 8. Enabling it didn't seem to justify an entire version jump so I added a .1.
Although in the boot screen I think it says 0.81 any way. ::)Versions 1-7, many of which never made it beyond my test box, were based on the code extracted from the x750e (and similar) models. Verison 8 was from code extracted from the SSL model which is equivalent to the X550e in hardware terms but crucially boots from a HD rather than CF.
XEBIOS_81.BIN is the file to use. I didn't link to it for a while because not that many people had tested it but I've yet to here any bad reports so it should be considered the default option at this point.

Flashed XEBIOS_8.BIN,
(E17HDD) MOD V0.8 console on com1 115200. Stephenw10 10/12/13
hit ESC during boot to get the loader prompt and entered:
set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
set hw.ata.ata_dma="1"Then entered boot and enter to start the boot up.
I still get after the above:

I am adding the 81 BIOS to my flash card now and will flash that then enter:
set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
set hw.ata.ata_dma="1"Then enter boot and enter to start the boot up.
What am I doing wrong here?
-
I found some other boot.config files, but while in the loader prompt i cant find a boot.config.local
loader_conf_files="/boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf /boot/loader.conf.local"
-
Did you reset the CMOS after flashing the BIOS? Are the IDE parameters now set to auto?
I don't actually think that would make any difference since it's obviously find the drive and booting from it.
One of the bigger changes going to 2.2 is the new drivers for ATA devices:
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/UpgradeGuide#Disk_Driver_Changes
I suspect your install is trying to use swap space in a location that no longer exists, on ad0 as opposed to ada0. For other mounted drives/slices there are aliases to link to the new names but perhaps not with the swap slice. Can you access the filesystem table at /etc/fstab? What are it's contents?Steve
-
Ill check tonight when I have the device in front of me
