Alix 2D13 Boot failure - nanoBSD 2.2.6
-
Hi,
I just did a clean install of pfSense-2.2.6-RELEASE-2g-i386-nanobsd.img on my Alix 2D13 board which was running 2.0.2 version just fine.
The bios version is 0.99hAfter the upgrade, the boot sequence is stuck at the following:
(aprobe0:ata0:0:1:0): Retrying command (aprobe0:ata0:0:1:0): ATA_IDENTIFY. ACB: ec 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 (aprobe0:ata0:0:1:0): CAM status: Command timeout (aprobe0:ata0:0:1:0): Error 5, Retries exhausted
Here is the full boot sequence:

Please help. I also tried pfSense-2.3-BETA-2g-i386-nanobsd-20160224-1522.img but it does the same thing.

You probably have a CF that fails to function when DMA is enabled. Can follow the instructions here to disable.
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/UpgradeGuide#Disk_Driver_Changes -
When I try to disable DMA at the boot command prompt, I get "not found" in the response. :(
OK hint.ata.0.mode=PIO4 hint.ata.0.mode=PIO4 not found OK hint.ata.1.mode=PIO4 hint.ata.1.mode=PIO4 not found
Is there any other way to disable DMA?
Edit: I just realized I was not using "set" before the option. I'll try again and get back.
-
An IDE-DOM would be also running very well without deactivating something.
Or a smaller IDE-SSD would also ding his very best together with this board.
Only as a workaround. -
@cmb:

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/UpgradeGuide#Disk_Driver_ChangesI tried following at boot command prompt but it still doesn't want to boot. What could be the issue?
set hint.ata.0.mode=PIO4 set kern.cam.ada.write_cache=0 boot
-
It still fail with the same logs? I can't think of anything else that's changed that would impact that.

Yes it still fails with the same error.
I tried v2.0.2 again and it works. Also v2.1.5 works.
Looks like v2.2.x has issues with this board. -
Maybe Tinybios 0.99m helps you out ?
-
ALIX certainly works fine on 2.2.x and 2.3, it's the CF card if anything to do with hardware. Upgrading to the latest BIOS wouldn't hurt.
-
How has your performance been on these with 2.2.6?
Mine run out of memory often!
I am slowly replacing all my alix with homemade 2578
