I believe that I've found a bug with the sym driver in AMD64. I don't
have this problem with 5.3 under i386. I wasn't able to submit this
report via web because the anti-spam code wasn't being recognized.
The problem occurs during boot up / driver detect. I get the following
messages in bootup which I've manually copied:
sym0: <810a> port 0x9000-0x90ff mem 0xea094000-0xea0940ff irq 12 at
device 7.0 on pci1
__sym_calloc2: failed to allocate HCB[4288]
device_attach: sym0 attach returned 6
sym1: <1010-33> port 0x9400-0x94ff mem
0xea090000-0xea091fff,0xea097000-0xea0973ff irq 11 at device 9.0 on pci1
__sym_calloc2: failed to allocate HCB[4288]
device_attach: sym1 attach returned 6
sym2: <1010-33> port 0x9800-0x98ff mem
0xea092000-0xea093fff,0xea098000-0xea0983ff irq 15 at device 9.1 on pci1
__sym_calloc2: failed to allocate HCB[4288]
device_attach: sym2 attach returned 6
I was using the mini-inst boot CD from the iso images. I had to disable
ACPI at bootup to not hang later in the boot sequence (after the
detection of the single IDE device installed - a cdrom). This
particular machine has a motherboard with an nforce3 chipset. As I
mentioned, I don't have this problem with the i386 branch, but I do
still have to disable ACPI. I tried an older version of AMD64.. I
believe 5.2.1, and got the same result. One other thing to notice is
that it also has a problem with my Symbios 810 card. Of course, as a
result of this, none of my scsi hard drives are recognized and I can't
install.
