Description Thomas Gallaway 2001-09-27 06:00:01 UTC
I put in the ISO cd.. it boot's all looks fine. I go into the Full Screen install mode and let it do it's inital stuff. After showing me my HDD and CD-Rom in the init it show's

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
after that it hang's and I only can turn of my laptop and that's it... 
If I install FreeBSD 4.3 it works 100% perfect!

How-To-Repeat: Well.... take my laptop and see it yourselfe :-)

Similar problem solved on P-233MMX/256 RAM/6.4+30 GB
HDD/Spacewalker/Shuttle/HOT-569A-Intel 430TX chipset!

4.4-RELEASE installation requires enabling of 'Assign IRQ for USB' option
in AWARD BIOS. 4.3-RELEASE doesn't require it.

I have a Pentium 166/MMX that hanges at Mounting root from ufs: on 4.4 no
matter what I do.
Seems that 4.3 works ok.
Comment 5 rsecor 2002-01-19 04:52:12 UTC
Ok, I changed the bios from:
Assign an IRQ to USB: Disabled to Enabled and it booted up.
This is annoying, I don't want to Enable this option, would fix it myself
but don't know the first place to look, oh well... <shrug>... <sigh>.
Comment 6 Jed Clear 2002-02-02 03:13:15 UTC
Why did this PR go to "feedback"?  Near as I can tell the originator
claims the suggestion didn't solve his original problem.

If this PR is now tracking why an IRQ must be assigned for USB, is a
costly[1] HW workaround to something that crept into 4.4 considered a
solution?  Is there a different PR for IRQ/USB issue?  I was initially
trying to see if this was fixed in 4.5.

Thanks,

-Jed

I just downloaded the boot floppies (kern.flp and mfsroot.flp) in the 4.6
release directory.  These boot floppies seem to be the same boot
floppies as the ones from the 4.4 release (it seems that way,
since that is the version string printed out during boot).

I am also encountering a problem similar to PR 30902 and PR 30860 where
the FreeBSD boot process does not go past the message
"Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c"

Unlike Lyubomir, the BIOS on my laptop is from Phoenix, and does
not have the option to "Assign an IRQ to USB".  How
can I solve this problem with a Phoenix BIOS?

My hardware is a Winbook N3:

The boot messages that are printed out just before the hang
are:

Comment 8 Craig Rodrigues 2002-07-02 17:09:33 UTC
Hi,

Just to follow up on this, I just tried the boot floppy for
FreeBSD 5.0-DP1 CURRENT.  The problem did NOT
occur with this version.

I'm not sure about older FreeBSD versions.
This looks like a problem in the 4.4-4.6 boot floppies.

Well, I experience same problem in FreeBSD 4.8

As long as I use the original kernel, the one I created during the installation, everything works fine.

But everytime I try to compile a custome kernel and reboot I get stuck at that point:

Hi, 

Does this still occur on a FreeBSD 5.4 or 6.0 version? or 
perhaps even the beta's ?
