Bug 34228

Summary: Dual processor machine hangs at reboot
Product: Base System Reporter: Wayne Pascoe <freebsd>
Component: kernAssignee: freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 4.4-RELEASE   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description Wayne Pascoe 2002-01-24 13:50:00 UTC 
If I do a shutdown -r the machine does not reboot. I get the following message:

syncing disks... 7
done
Uptime: 48s
amr0: flusing cache...done
Rebooting...
cpu_reset called on cpu#1
cpu_reset: Stopping other CPUs
cpu_reset: Restarting BSP
cpu_reset_proxy: Grabbed mp lock for BSP
cpu_reset_proxy: Stopped CPU 1

And there it sits. The same thing happens if I use reboot instead of the shutdown command.

I also noticed that after the install from the 4.4 CDROM was finished, when it normally reboots it hung there as well.

The motherboard is a GA-6VTXDR-C with 2 x 1.26 PIII Processors and 3GB Ram. The raid controller is an AMI megaraid.

How-To-Repeat: Using this hardware configuration there seems to be no way to avoid this problem.

1) Have you tried changing the MP setting in the 
BIOS to 1.4, as this might help.  Also, does
this problem occur with older releases like
4.3?

2) Also try using newer cvsup'ed code, from the
RELENG_4_5 branch, which might solve the problem;
(just a troubleshooting tip, hehe)

3) Did you try using a custom kernel, with one
of the CPU options provided, such as:

options 	CPU_ENABLE_SSE (just an example)

4) Did you update the firmware of your BIOS, as
this also might help. Try this URL:

Try poking around with the clever Gigabyte BIOS! :),
and you should get boot (and re-booting) soon, hehe.

Does this still happen with 4.7-RELEASE or a recent -STABLE?
