[Solution] run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for xpt_config

[Narann]

Hi all!

== First step: Install FreeNAS 8 using a USB key ==

This is just a "bonus" as this is something which is very simple to do but I spend some time to try how to.

To install FreeNAS 8 using a USB key, open "FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-p2-x64.iso" using any extractor.

In this file, extract "FreeNAS-x64.img.xz".

Then open this file using any extractor then extract "FreeNAS-x64.img".

Once this is done, get your usb key drive name (using "sudo fdisk -l". Mine was "/dev/sde") and do:

Code:

sudo dd if="FreeNAS-x64.img" of=/dev/sde

This take longtime.

Once your nice USB key in you hand plug it, set your BIOS to ensure the computer will boot on the USB key.

I've got this error and try to find the solution searching on internet.

Their is many post about this but the solution is never clearly writted (https://fccomputing.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/run_interrupt_driven_hooks-still-waiting-error-fix/)

So, if you have this message during FreeNAS 8 boot:

Code:

(prob7::umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI sens: UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 (Not ready to ready change, medium may have changed)
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for xpt_config
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 120 seconds for xpt_config
...

Just go on your BIOS (me it's an ASUS one) and set:

Code:

Bios/Advanced/Onboard Devices Configuration/1394 Controller -> [Disabled]

This has resolve the problem for me.

This post was just my intention to share the solution has was hard for me to find. :)

Good luck all!

my thanks as well. This certainly is obscure, and not part of the mainstream documentation.
