Bug #4533

atacontrol missing from bootable images
0%
Description
Cheers,
when trying to install the system on some slightly older hardware, the installer uses /sbin/atacontrol. Which fails, as /sbin/atacontrol is not present, leading to the slice not being created and everything being rather unusable in the installation.
2.1 did not have this problem (and has /sbin/atacontrol)

Where are you seeing atacontrol being used during the installer? I can find no trace of it in the repository.
atacontrol is gone because the old ATA drivers are gone from FreeBSD 10.x, the new drivers are CAM-based and use camcontrol now and not atacontrol.
Likely, you have some other unrelated issue. Please start a forum post for diagnosis/discussion until a bug is confirmed.

- File installer.log installer.log added
Well, I kind of disagree on it not being in the repository: https://github.com/pfsense/bsdinstaller/blob/b847c4c017402b9ce6ef3d2bb85a7adcba969272/src/backend/installer/fn_diagnostic.c#L314
Compare attached BSD Installer log file to see it failing. From what I can tell the installer assumes slice 1 should be there, but it doesn't exist as the drives are blank.

The error is not related to your actual problem. Please start a forum thread for discussion/diagnosis.
The actual error at the end of the log is indicative of the real problem and it isn't related to that other error. Typically that last error is from a controller quirk (e.g. https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Boot_Troubleshooting#.22Fake.22_RAID_cards_with_a_GRAID_error ) - follow up on the forum for more.

Ah, sorry about that; it actually was the kern.geom.raid.enable switch that helped, thanks!
