Bug 144503

Summary: [boot] 8.0-RELEASE does not boot on DL585 [regression]
Product: Base System Reporter: Gunther Schadow <gunther>
Component: amd64Assignee: freebsd-amd64 (Nobody) <amd64>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 8.0-RELEASE   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description Gunther Schadow 2010-03-06 03:20:01 UTC 
System does not boot, neither from freebsd-upgrade nor from boot CD. 
With or without ACPI or APIC it always gets stuck at the line where 
the pci0 <PCI bus> is being probed.

I am running 7.0 just fine. Skipped over 7.1 and 7.2 thought 8.0 was 
time to upgrade, but it does not boot.

Not sure if there are any other people with DL585s, I have 3 (more 
actually) and neither of them boots.

May be 32 GB of RAM is too much for it? Nothing else special. 
There is QLogic ISP card in the PCI bus, but can that halt it?

I tried to boot with verbose mode, but not much comes out of that.
It just gets stuck.

Fix: 

I wish
How-To-Repeat: 8.0-RELEASE cd boot on DL585.

Can you try setting 'hw.pci.mcfg=0' from the loader prompt?

Thanks for looking into this.

If I set hw.pci.mcfg=0 it does not help at all.

If I also try do disable acpi and apic it makes no difference.
Always stuck at the same point:

pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0

The upshot is that it reminds me of the good old days of trying
to install 386/bsd 0.0 or netbsd on a VAX :)

Do you get any other printfs' beyond this line with boot -v or does boot -v 
die sooner?

No, it didn't die sooner. It comes to the same point but without
showing anything that I would have considered interesting. Notably
nothing was logged after the pci0: ... line.

Hmm, can you capture a verbose dmesg via a serial console or something 
similar?
