Firebox x1250e crash after upgrading
-
I got Bios_81 on mine yes, and the HD settings are set to auto.
The only thing i had to change is the fstab file or when booting, testing it with set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/adxxxxxx -
I think it's the swapper process trying to use DMA and failing. On my box I had to enable UDMA for the IDE channel I was using, did you have to make that change?
Also:
@unknown001:Also enable ACPI function and IDE primary slave UDMA is now "auto" mode. No longer crashing

yes i also did those steps
-
Ok this is an ACPI problem, it must be enabled:

I am a little lost on what I should try next….
-
The HDD is being detected as stephenw10 stated since it starts the boot process but ends with that kernel panic info I posted with a trace after.
-
You need to enable ACPI in the BIOS or at least check it's enabled. It could potentially be something else but that will definitely cause the panic you're seeing.

On it! Thanks stephenw10…Ill try it in about 30min. All I did the other night was pull the FSTAB, I did not reset/check the HDD BIOS settings so I will do that as well since I have to go there for ACPI. Oh I did flash the 8.1 BIOS you created after no change with 8.
-
It actually looks like the underlying cause of this is a regression in the gpioapu driver. See: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4363
Enabling ACPI in the BIOS works around it on the firebox though.Steve
-
Thats what some of the info was pointing to, GPIOAPU and I thought that was an issue, but found so many things pointing the other way and other people fixed it with those commands and other easier things than fixing the GPIO code, wishful thinking….Haven't gotten a chance to check the BIOS settings yet, but I will post when I so. Thanks for all the help, very appreciated. Love my fireboxes.

So got it to boot once. Now after turning it off and turning it on today I get:
(ada0:ata0:0:0:0): READ_DMA. ACB: c8 00 51 8d 1d 46 00 00 00 00 01 00
(ada0:ata0:0:0:0): CAM status: ATA Status Error
(ada0:ata0:0:0:0): ATA status: 51 (DRDY SERV ERR), error: 40 (UNC )
(ada0:ata0:0:0:0): RES: 51 40 51 8d 1d 06 06 00 00 01 00And it just keeps going and going. I had it up and running for an hour before shutting it down for the night.

Hmm, looks a lot like this:

How do you have the drive mounted? Could it be a loose cable or something similar?Steve
-
I started over, ill let you know what happens with a new install same drive. I do have another and another type of drive. I did secure the HDD in there so I would guess it the cable/adapter are not loose.
-
New install worked, but now I have to figure out why the LCD works, but shows no info
-
All I get on the LCD whether I use a custom package or install the one from packages through PFSense is
PFSense B8
Booting OS . . . . -
have you tried this ? ;)

If you're still seeing 'Booting OS' then the lcdproc daemon isn't starting at all. What have you tried?
Steve
-
Not much, I did find that thread but while under the whether I thought I would try moving the conf today. Got the custom LCD package from another member and only thing I get is this:
:file /path to conf file
Before installing the package or the custom LCD the LCD shows:
Booting OS….
Once installing the custom it adds:
PFSense B8 at the top.
Running the sh to start and stop the custom LCD it makes sounds when it starts and stops, but nothing on the LCD, the few times I got something to show up it was gibberish.
I did try after installing the package pulling the LCDProc, LCDExec and LCDd and putting it into the custom LCD package and now after reading that thread I wonder if its looking for the conf in the fix posted by SW10 since it was installed by PFSense. Any way to tell where the custom LCD package is looking for the conf? In about 1.5 hrs I am pulling the box back out and trying to tinker with it again so I will be able to provide more info on just having the custom LCD installed.
-
Just to confirm, when you say 'custom LCD package' do you mean software or hardware?
Steve
-
Software, was built from LCDProc package 0.5.6 on FreeBSD 10.1. One question, does the LCDd come from that same package? I noticed in the files I got the LCDd had an older date while the LCDProc and LCDExec show 02/2015.
