I have a X8DT6 that appears to crash in the bootloader from HEAD. I say "appears to" because it's difficult to really see what the problem is; the system reboots pretty much as soon as it enters the FreeBSD boot process. The problem affects PXE booting, booting from ZFS on GPT on a SATA drive and UFS on MBR on a USB stick.
The problem only occurs if I have any SATA disks plugged in. If I remove all SATA disks I can successfully PXE boot or boot from a USB key. I've tried with a couple of different SATA disks, some with GPT and some with MBR, and the reboot happens in both cases. The last things that I see on the serial console before the reboot is: DHCP..- ^[[06;07H^[[06;00HDH CP..\ ^[ [06;07H^[[05;00HCLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 25 90 92 19 94 GUID: 84F7C23B 5F21 2533 625 C 002590921994 ^[[06;00HCLIENT IP: 172.16.1.50 MASK: 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP: 1 72.16.1.1 ^[[07;00HGATEWAY IP: 172.16.1.1 ^[[08;00HPXE Loader 1.00^[[2JM-^@^[[01;00H^[[0 m^[[2m^[[0m^[[2;30;40m ^@^[[0m^[[2;37;40m ^[[02;00H^[[0m^[[2;30;40m So it really doesn't seem to get very far at all. I've bisected and confirmed that the problem was introduced in r239066. I tried reverting that commit locally and I can boot fine again. I took a quick look at that commit but it appears to be way over my head. I'm willing to test patches or gather more debugging information; this thing isn't going anywhere until I can get it booting. :) Ryan _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
