I feel sure I'm missing something pretty obvious here but I can't figure
out what.
I have a Dell 1950 which I just installed 8.3 (amd64) onto. It has an
internal OS drive on mfi (Dell PERC) and a qlogic QLE2462 for external
SAN connection.
Problem is, the machine hangs on boot if the SAN fiber is connected. It
boots up fine if disconnected, then I can reconnect the fiber and mount
the SAN drives.
When booting with fiber connected, it hangs after these messages:
kbd3 at ukbd1
kbd3: ukbd1, generic (0), config:0x0, flags:0x3d0000
ums1: <EP2 Interrupt> on usbus1
ums1: 3 buttons and [XYZ] coordinates ID=0
uhub5: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered
(which just look like normal device probes) then if I reboot with the
fiber disconnected, the next lines are:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mfid0s1a
start_init: trying /sbin/init
Verbose boot doesn't seem to give any additional clues.
I feel convinced it's failing to find or mount the root filesystem -
I've certainly seen this in the past where an add-in HBA like this
usurps the internal OS drive, fixable by hard-wiring the bus order in
/boot/device.hints. That's what I thought of first here, but mfi doesn't
use CAM (I guess), and the OS drive /dev/mfid0 isn't changing its device
name...
and of course I'm not getting any root mount errors either.
Is there part of the boot mechanism I'm missing?
