The system will not boot the kernel. When you boot it displays: KDB: debugger backends: ddb KDB: current backend: ddb fatal kernel trap execution = 0x4 (instruction storage interrupt) virtual address = 0x3d66a0 srr0 = 0x3d66a0 srr1 = 0x8003032 currthread = 0x4bbc98 pid = 0, comm = thread pid 0 tid 0 stopped at 0x3d66a0: isync db> Fix: This is fixed in r 1.99.2.1 of sys/powerpc/powerpc/pmap.c, which is in the 6.0-RC1 snapshot. Please try out the RC1 iso ! How-To-Repeat: Boot from the CD. Hit enter to boot immediately when prompted
State Changed From-To: open->closed Known problem, already fixed.
Old report: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=87775 I know this was reported just yesterday. The fix says to try 6.0-RC1 Which is what I'm running Machine is: G5 iMac I get the same problem Description The system will not boot the kernel. When you boot it displays: KDB: debugger backends: ddb KDB: current backend: ddb (in old report it has the fatal kernel trap...I don't get that message just the above) How-To-Repeat Boot from the CD. Hit enter to boot immediately when prompted Will reply with more information, Just ask what else you need me to do and run. Thanks, Happy to help FreeBSD :) -- Benjamin D Adams -- http://www.FreeBSDWorld.NET
FreeBSD/PPC doesn't currently run on G5 CPUs. I guess I should put in some code that prints that out at boot-time until the support is there.
