I have a question for you. We have a small mounster: HP Proliant BL20 two Xeon processors, 2Gb RAM, QLogic SCSI 2312, and some other scary characteristics. Now, I installed FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE almost accidentally. I mean, it seemed to me that our computer got frozen when it was booting with the FreeBSD CDROM, no, it didn't, it was just taking 10 minutes to check the scsi card. My kernel boot log says: Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project. Copyright (c) 1979, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved. FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC 2004 root@harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC ... isp0: port 0x3000-0x30ff mem 0xf7dd0000-0xf7dd0fff irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci1 isp0: [GIANT-LOCKED] isp0: Polled Mailbox Command (0x2) Timeout isp0: Polled Mailbox Command (0x8) Timeout device_attach: isp0 attach returned 6 isp1: port 0x3400-0x34ff mem 0xf7dc0000-0xf7dc0fff irq 11 at device 3.1 on pci1 isp1: [GIANT-LOCKED] isp1: Polled Mailbox Command (0x2) Timeout isp1: Polled Mailbox Command (0x8) Timeout device_attach: isp1 attach returned 6 There, in the GIANT-LOCKEDs and timeouts... Now, my computer boots ok, but the booting process takes 20 minutes!!! I also cvsup-graded my computer, built world, installed it, customized my kernel, installed it. Now the kernel reports to be FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 but still takes 20 minutes to boot. My questions are: WHY it takes so long? Can I do something to fix this problem? Please, CC your answer to my address, I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks in advance. Eduardo.
