I am unable to so much as boot from the release DVD on my machine. The machine is a model MacBookPro5,1 with 2.93 GHz Intel Core2 Duo "Penryn". Holds 4GB of RAM. I am at a loss for what I can provide. The boot menu freezes if I select an option and it does not count down. However, if I leave it for some time, it will attempt to boot, but only gets a short way before permanently stalling. A linked photo displays where the console output is at the time of the hang. http://img.skitch.com/20100329-jibm7rurtkce7rib6mmfd5stbp.jpg
Hi Miah, Have you tried the directions posted here yet : http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook ? Thanks, -Garrett
I have seen this, yes. Oddly, I managed to read most of it (I remember = the text of section 15) but totally missed that section saying "FreeBSD = 8.0 issues". I kind of hope however that I'm not needing to actually revert to = r189055. That would be reverting 13 months of code and I don't even know = how to commit such changes to an installation disk. I'm actually new to = the FreeBSD scene. (My friend suggests that I can revert just that one = change, but again, I don't know where to begin with that) The other issue is that I can't enter Fixit mode. I can't actually get = that far. Every option, including option seven (reboot) will stall.=
As an added note, I cannot get 7.3-RELEASE to work either. A friend of = mine told me that one way to revert that aforementioned change was to = install 7.3, revert that one change, and rebuild world. But I can't install that either. I get two different types of kernel = panic here. The first, as a normal boot: http://img.skitch.com/20100329-8bws2aa6f9b3jq373b9ctdjp4j.jpg The second, with ACPI disabled or under safe mode: http://img.skitch.com/20100329-bk1n192x48rfaadmp238kdd59h.jpg It's worth note that the second scrolls some sort of multiline repeated = message but scrolls so fast I can't tell what it's saying. Anyway, I can't seem to install either version as this point.=
Has there been any progress on this issue? I can't reasonably install any version of FreeBSD to do the revert myself. Moreover, why hasn't the revert been done in the mainline repository?
For bugs matching the following criteria: Status: In Progress Changed: (is less than) 2014-06-01 Reset to default assignee and clear in-progress tags. Mail being skipped
Is this still an issue with any RELEASE or pre-release version of FreeBSD?
^Triage: I'm sorry that this PR did not get addressed in a timely fashion. By now, the version that it was created against is long out of suppoprt. Please re-open if it is still a problem on a supported version.
