I'm starting to look at FreeBSD 11-current to see what's coming soon. I have an older notebook that I use for test environments for purposes such as this. Unfortunately, the notebook won't boot up from the install CD, there's a loop it cannot seem to get out of.
Details are: - The install CD was made from this image: FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-i386-20140918-r271779-disc1 - The dmesg for the notebook is at the end of this message. The dmesg was captured with FreeBSD 10.0. In the dmesg, you can see the following lines: (aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): ATAPI_IDENTIFY. ACB: a1 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 (aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): CAM status: Command timeout (aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): Error 5, Retry was blocked run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for xpt_config (aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): ATAPI_IDENTIFY. ACB: a1 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 (aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): CAM status: Command timeout (aprobe0:ata1:0:1:0): Error 5, Retry was blocked which, while slowing down the boot process drastically, still allowed the boot process to run to successful completion. - When I try to boot using the FreeBSD 11-current install CD, that loop seems to go on ad infinitum, or at least for the 5 minutes until I gave up. I cannot post a dmesg from that boot-up because I never got to a prompt. However, I did take a couple of pictures of the offending screens. They are here: http://archive.mgm51.com/cache/fbsd-11-current-01.jpg http://archive.mgm51.com/cache/fbsd-11-current-02.jpg The first image shows the start of the looping, and the second shows the continuation. While this notebook is used only for testing, it is important to me in that aspect. How can I get around this looping issue? Please let me know if there's any additional info you need. Thanks.
