Hello, Thanks for your response. I dont think they are totally unrelated, because when i try to install XFree86-4 and that particular library it gets the error messages stated below (one to stdout and the other to dmesg). All other port installations work fine. (Before and after the XFree86-4 install)
I orginally thought it was a hardware problem as well. but to have it fail on two disks with the same sort of error? that is highly unlikely, and installing 4.8-RELEASE yeilds no errors. fsck doesn't produce any errors either. And i dont think it is a ports problem because XFree86-4.3.0,1 works on 4.8-RELEASE. So this has left me thinking its either a bios thingy or something in 4.9-RELEASE kernel that doesn't like my laptop. or maybe i jump to too many conculsions? Hence why i would like some advice on how to trouble shoot this. thanks again This is the post from yesterday with the main error msg: <large snip> >further more, when i look in dmesg i get the >following: >ad0s1g: hard error reading fsbn 17696655 of >7946848-7946879 (ad0s1 bn 17696655; cn 18726 tn 9 sn >18) trying PIO mode >ad0: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode >ad0s1g: hard error reading fsbn 17696671 of >7946848-7946879 (ad0s1 bn 17696671; cn 18726 tn 9 sn >34) status=59 error=40 >ad0s1g: hard error reading fsbn 17696671 of >7946848-7946879 (ad0s1 bn 17696671; cn 18726 tn 9 sn >34) status=59 error=40 >vm_fault: pager read error, pid 418 (install) >Ive taken out the harddrive and replaced it with a >different one and i still see the same sort of error >message >ive also tried running fsck, but it yields no errors. > I have gone to install XFree86-4 > and get the following error > > installing in lib/font/Speedo... > installing in lib/font/Speedo/module... > /usr/bin/install -c -m 0444 libspeedo.a > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts > install in lib/font/Speedo/module done > installing in lib/font/Type1... > installing in lib/font/Type1/module... > /usr/bin/install -c -m 0444 libtype1.a > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts > install in lib/font/Type1/module done > installing in lib/font/FreeType... > installing in lib/font/FreeType/module... > /usr/bin/install -c -m 0444 libfreetype.a > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts > install: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a: > Bad address > *** Error code 71 > > Stop in > /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server/work/xc/lib/font/FreeType/module. > *** Error code 1 > > Stop in > /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server/work/xc/lib/font/FreeType. > *** Error code 1 > > Stop in > /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server/work/xc/lib/font. > *** Error code 1 > > Stop in /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server. > *** Error code 1 > > Stop in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. > </snip> > > Ive tried looking for "libfreetype.a" and it does > exist in > /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server/work/xc/lib/font/FreeType/module. > > -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 281366 Mar 10 23:22 > libfreetype.a > > I have also tried to install it manually > > /usr/bin/install -c -m 0444 > /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server/work/xc/lib/font/FreeType/module/libfreetype.a > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts > > and i get the same error > > install: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a: > Bad address </snip> --- Ion-Mihai Tetcu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 12 Mar 2004 09:59:17 +1100 (EST) > eodyna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Greetings all, > > > > Due to yesterday error on 4.9-RELEASE of FreeBSD. > > <snip> > > hard error reading fsbn > > ad0: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode > > > > & > > > > libfreetype.a: Bad address > > </snip> > > The two are completely unrelated. > > For the first what you say below could be a > solution, if set them to > "0"; (an 5.x I would add that also acpi and apic > could count) > > For the second you have to provide more details. > > > "hard error reading fsbn > > ad0: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode" > > However this usually suggest hw trouble. > > > -- > IOnut > Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user > Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
