Subject: [Qemu-devel] BeOS R5 boot failure
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 11:07:26 +0100 CET	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3318104499-BeMail@laptop> (raw)

I've been trying for some time to get an old BeOS R5 image to boot, but
it seems it doesn't like QEMU's IDE controller:

Trying /dev/disk/ide/ata/0/master/0/raw
IDE PCI -- find_devices: intel 82371SB (PIIX3) chipset
IDE PCI -- find_devices: controller supports DMA
IDE ATA -- configure_device: selected dma mode bad,
                             disable dma for this device
IDE ATA -- get_bios_driveinfo: ata/0/0 match bios drive 0x80
found boot device: /dev/disk/ide/ata/0/master/0/raw
IDE PCI -- find_devices: intel 82371SB (PIIX3) chipset
IDE PCI -- find_devices: controller supports DMA
IDE ATA -- configure_device: selected dma mode bad,
                             disable dma for this device
IDE ATA -- get_bios_driveinfo: ata/0/0 match bios drive 0x80
IDE PCI -- find_devices: intel 82371SB (PIIX3) chipset
IDE PCI -- find_devices: controller supports DMA
IDE ATA -- configure_device: selected dma mode bad,
                             disable dma for this device
IDE ATA -- get_bios_driveinfo: ata/0/0 match bios drive 0x80
warning: fs blocks fa000 larger than device blocks 0
bad super block
KERNEL PANIC: was unable to mount /dev/disk/ide/ata/0/master/0/0_0 type
bfs on /boot


Anyone has a clue ?

It seems VirtualBox has the same issue. Older versions (ZETA) seem to
work fine, but they have a totally different IDE subsystem.

The warning suggest the block device is seen as having a size of 0,
though oddly it seems to be able to read from it since it gets the size
of the BFS in the superblock...

I've rebuilt with DEBUG_IDE and put a log here:
http://revolf.free.fr/beos/qemu-beosr5-bad-ide-20100323.log

Note disabling DMA in the boot menu (space bar, Select safe mode
options) doesn't help either...
Use F1 at boot to get serial output.

The image is available here:

(BeOS R5 Personal Edition for Linux)
