it's me bugging everyone again, this is probably my fualt too but I can't
figure it out.
In the install howto it says that size and offset should be divisable by the
number of sectors in a cylinder, I did this when partioning with disklabel.
After installing and tring to boot from teh local hdd on the sparc station
(sun4c) I get the following panic msg.
panic: alignment fault
and the boot aborts.
here is my partion info as reported by `disklabel -i sd0`
TYPE: SCSI
DISK: DSP3107LS
LABEL: DEC-DSP3107LS-44
FLAGS:
BYTES/SECTOR: 512
SECTORS/TRACK: 83
TRACKS/CYLINDER: 8
SECTORS/CYLINDER: 664
CYLINDERS: 3115
TOTAL SECTORS: 2068360
RPM: 5400
INTERLEAVE: 1
TRACKSKEW: 0
CYLINDERSKEW: 0
HEADSWITCH: 0
TRACK-TO-TRACK SEEK: 0
DRIVE DATA: 0
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype {fsize bsize cpg}
a 71712 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 {Cyl. 0 - 107}
b 258296 71712 swap {Cyl. 108 - 496}
c 1024552 330008 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 {Cyl. 497 - 2039}
d 610880 1354560 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 {Cyl. 2040 - 2959}
e 102920 1965440 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 {Cyl. 2960 - 3114}
As you can see all partitions are divisable by 664 (Sec/Cyl.)
What could be cuasing the kernel to panic with that alignment fault error?
Any and All help is greatly appricated
And ThankYou
LeRoy
