FreeBSD stuck during the boot process.
Hi there!! When I try to boot FreeBSD from a USB stick, it stuck during the boot process. But if I boot it in safe mode, it succeeds to boot. How can I figure out what's wrong with the standard boot process? I can't even log the boot messages since the computer stuck and not respond. Thanks in advance!!

You could try a verbose boot (equivalent: boot -v) and see _when_ the system stops resonding. It would help to post the error message (last lines of console output) to the list to get a better impression about what's happening. If I remember correctly, safe mode refers to the mode with ACPI disabled, right? In this case, it _could_ be an ACPI problem (a really wild guess, as you have provided no information about the system you are trying to boot FreeBSD on). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I suggest these in your /boot/loader.conf hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 kern.cam.boot_delay=1 kern.cam.scsi_delay=2000 The CAM boot delay is needed for USB booting on some of my machines, esp. Soekris boxes. 10 seconds is safe. - M ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Yes, you remember correctly, safe mode disable the ACPI support automatically. I think it's a problem in the ACPI system because when I disable ACPI, it boot successfully even without choosing safe mode. But what that is strange here, is that Microsoft Windows and Linux (Debian) are able to boot with ACPI enabled. furthermore, some days ago FreeBSD itself succeeded to boot also with ACPI support enabled. As for the error messages, there's not a particular error message. it simply stuck during the initialization of the PCI bus. Here are the last eight lines: pcib2: ACPI PCI-PCI bridge at device 30.0 on pci0 pcib2: domain 0 pcib2: secondary bus2 pcib2: subordinate bus 2 pcib2: no prefetched decode pcib2 Subtractively decoded bridge. pcib2: ACPI PCI bus on pcib2 pcib2: domain=0, physical bus=2 Regards, atar. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
