FreeBSD kernel doesn't boot on FUJITSU PRIMERGY RX200 S5 server
Hi, For the first time in many years, I've stumbled across a server hardware where FreeBSD kernel refuses to boot. It's FUJITSU PRIMERGY RX200 S5 server with 2x Quad core E5520 processors and 16GB of RAM. Linux boots on that hardware just fine. Linux dmesg is available here: http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/RX200.linux.dmesg I tried 7.3-RELEASE and latest HEAD, both amd64 and i386 - neither worked. HEAD and 7.3 behaved little bit differently. 7.3 hanged after the boot command, HEAD - filled in console with funny blinking characters. Screenshots with some debug information - SMAP, boot environment (7.3/amd64): http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/ScreenShot595.png http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/ScreenShot596.png http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/ScreenShot597.png http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/ScreenShot598.png http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/ScreenShot599.png http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/ScreenShot600.png http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/ScreenShot601.png HEAD/amd64 booting (boot -v): http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/ScreenShot603.png I have control over that machine, so that I can run some tests on it, including building and executing debug kernels. The only thing that I don't have access to at the moment is BIOS. Any ideas on how to investigate and fix that problem are highly appreciated. -Maxim ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: FreeBSD kernel doesn't boot on FUJITSU PRIMERGY RX200 S5 server
Update: I've discovered that the 7.3 kernels actually boot after some ridiculously long waiting period after the boot command (i.e. 10 minutes or even more). I suspect that it might be caused by the memory probing, which as far as I know the FreeBSD does to determine if the physical memory that has been reported by BIOS really exists. Here is what kernel reports about RAM: http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/ScreenShot605.png Any comments? -Maxim ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
