- I am trying to install 386bsd on a GateWay 2000 486 50Mhz DX/2. The
- system has a 205 Mb IDE Drive. I can run the install disk fine, however
- when I boot off the hard drive the screen looks like this:
-
- pc0<color> at 0x60 irq 1 on isa
- com1 at 0x3f8 irq 4 on isa
- com2 at 0x2f8 irq 3 on isa
- /* There is a sufficient long delay here for some reason */
- fd0 drives 0:1.44M, 1:1.2M at 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2 on isa
- ne0 ethernet address 02:00:00:00:14:e4 at 0x300 irq 9 on isa
- npx0 at 0xf0 irq 13 on isa
-
- PANIC: Cannont mount root
- trap type 12 code=fe060000 eip=fe01278a cs=8 eflags=10282 cr2 14 cpl a
-
- PANIC: trap
-
- /* It then says something about dumping the memory to the device and */
- /* Gets a --device bad message */
-
- Notice that the hard drive controller was never listed in the list,
- however when I boot from the fixit or install disk it looks the exact same
- except where the delay occurs I get a line like:
-
- wd0 <WDC AC2200F> at 0x1f0 irq 14 on isa
-
- If I boot with the fixit disk, I then can mount the hard drive without
- a problem. I tried copying the kernel from the fixit to the hard drive,
- and even tried changing the device files still it did it.
- I downloaded the unofficial fixes which claim that wd.c was fixed, and that
- still did not change a thing. (In directory newbootables)
- I have not tried the compaq bootable fixed yet, however what I have
- been told by Adrian@rachel.ibmpcug.co.uk that the compaq fix is something
- totally different, and that fix would not work in this case.
- Do anyone have any incling why the kernel is not initializing the
- hard drive controller correctly as that looks like the problem to me?
