Hi,
I have been given new hw to move one of our servers to, the ASUS Vintage-PE1.
Last two times I have been changing hw for the server I only needed to move
disks to new box and everything worked, the OS booted without any
complications. Not this time with this new hw. When I put the disks into the
Vintage-PE1 hw, the loader doesn't find the root and kernel. In fact, the
loader's lsdev does not show any partitions/devices besides the raw disks.
There are two 200G Seagate disks in GEOM Mirror. The OS is FreeBSD 6.1.
Is the Vintage-PE1 hw known to have problems with FreeBSD (or vice versa)? (I
googled but I did not find anything significant.)
From asus's page about the vintage pe1:
: Recover Pro is an always available recovery tool. It
: stores user data, applications and the operating
: system in the host-protected area of the hard drive.
: Users can easily recover system to their original
: factory conditions or to a more recent state without
: restore CDs. No need to worry about losing data
: due to virus attacks.
Perhaps this has something to do with it? If such
a thing were to overwrite the partition table(s) you
would have a very unbootable system.
