Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-i386 This may be i386-specific. State Changed From-To: open->feedback I am currently trying to determine the exact problem with the submitter. This is the final line of his bootup sequence: Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec. If i refer to my personal system i can see that after that the harddisks are probed. So something might be wrong there. Let's exclude that and try starting without ACPI to see what that does. Place the PR in feedback mode till the problem is more clear. State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Feedback not recieved, closing the PR. It can be reopened when we have proper feedback though. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-i386->remko Assign the PR to me to obtain feedback. |
5.3Beta7 hangs right after displaying the system memory information. I'll guess that the 2-CPU motherboard, when there is only one cpu installed, is confusing the SMP probes. The Tyan S1668 motherboard is rather old (circa 1996), but it still runs FreeBSD 4.3 just fine. Only when I try to boot 5.3 from the three boot/kern1/kern2 floppies are there problems. Here are the verbose boot messages. It does not continue after the "avail memory" line.

Otherwise I'll try again with the next 5.3 release. How-To-Repeat: Tried multiple times and each time it hung at the same place.
