FreeBSD 8.0 reboot hangs at welcome screen
I have a server with VMware ESXi4 with two FreeBSD-amd64 virtual machines (one 7.2, one 8.0). I wanted to do a shutdown -r of the 8.0 machine. The system when down, started 'Rebooting ..', showed the FBSD Welcome screen, counted down 10 seconds, .. then nothing happened, waited about 5 minutes nothing happened. I had do power-off the Virtual Machine, then power-on and it rebooted. After that I saw the time (date command) on that machine was 5 minutes behind ... Why is that? And can the 5 minutes behind in time be caused by that 5 minute 'hang' period? ___ 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

You might try googling that (in conjunction with your motherboard) and see what comes up. HTH, -Andy. I have tried booting up with ACPI disabled. I still experienced the same reboot problem. I also thought that safe mode disabled acpi? I have also updated the bios on the motherboard and the bios on the raid card to see if they were the problem. Same problem persists.

Reboot Hangs
FreeBSD 5.3-P5 with optionsBROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET in the kernel. System was first built on hardware that required that option to be able to avoid hanging on reboot. However, now I have installed it on a newer system. It still has the option defined. And it hangs. I suspect that I don't need the option on this system. Is there a way to disable it without having to rebuild the system? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
