16.7 Legacy Series / Re: Install error 19 with virtual disk
« on: July 15, 2016, 12:48:33 am »
Hi Franco !
I never really left - just very busy with other things that had higher priority. Life get in the way sometimes...
Have a bit more time so will play again.
I very much doubt this ageing beast has ever heard of USB :-)
It's akin to this :

You can mount a remote image and boot/install from it. My guess is the BIOS does some sort of USB emulation.
EFW 3.2a 64bit boots happily....
Whatever it does v16.* x64 seems to barf on it.
Just found an old copy of OPNsense-15.7.11-OpenSSL-cdrom-i386.iso - that booted perfectly. May try a 16.x 386 but my guess is that is not the issue
See the screen shot - it hangs at this point for several seconds before continuing. Note the IPMI Virtual CD. Clearly *BSD 10 does not like this for some reason.
Here is a similarish thread https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/27260/ re *BSD 9
I may need to try and up the kern.cam.boot_delay - I tried 10000 but may need to go higher (not sure how long that actually is ?)
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to debug this - I need to be able to either 'Virtual CD' like this or PXE boot - local install media is out for me.

Hey John,
Nice to hear from you again.

"umass" would indicate some sort of USB, FreeBSD has this to say:
USB 3.0 support is not compatible with some hardware, including Haswell (Lynx point) chipsets. If FreeBSD boots with a failed with error 19 message, disable xHCI/USB3 in the system BIOS.[1]
