Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-i386 reclassify, since this sounds particular to one type of motherboard. It's worth nothing also that we've this exact symptom occasionally when booting systems running within VMware ESX. There's no pattern that we've been able to detect as to when it will strike. -- Charles Owens Great Bay Software, Inc. The following suggestion was graciously provided by Titus Manea (titus at buko dot edc dot ro): Hi, If you didn't solved the delay yet just add hint.atkbdc.0.disabled="1" hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1" in /boot/device.hints i traced the problem to console init and since these boards do not have ps/2 ports it probably takes the kernel some time to figure this out This is the answer! Titus also pointed out that the symptom affects amd64 as will as i386. Thanks Titus! From my perspective, this ticket may be closed. (I'm assuming that the observation I made of similar behavior occasionally happening with VMware is not related). -- Charles Owens Great Bay Software, Inc. Issue resolved via patch from John Baldwin (thanks much!). For discussion thread see: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?201002181023.08131.jhb Patch committed to -CURRENT: 204086 and 204090... already MFC'd. -- Charles Owens Great Bay Software, Inc. v: 603.617.4844 m: 603.866.0860 f: 603.430.0713 Sorry for the confusion... please ignore the preceding comment... it goes with a different PR. -- Charles Owens Great Bay Software, Inc. State Changed From-To: open->feedback Charles, can you please test if you still have problem when not disabling the keyboard controller but assigning it to acpi like this: hint.atkbdc.0.at="acpi" I've tested this on 7.2-Stable and hint.atkbdc.0.disabled="1" hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1" remove delay but hint.atkbdc.0.at="acpi" does nothing. -- Eugene Perevyazko Hello, Is this problem still seen with todays releases?
