Server 1 Processor: E5-2650L V3 RAM: 192GB No Raidcard installed BIOS: UEFI Mode Firmware: all up to date Version tried: FreeBSD 12.1 / FreeBSD 13 / FreeBSD 11.4 Server 2 Processor: E5-2660 v3 RAM: 96GB No Raidcard installed BIOS: UEFI Mode Firmware: all up to date Version tried: FreeBSD 12.1 / FreeBSD 13 / FreeBSD 11.4 Issue: It appears that when X2Apic is enabled within BIOS, FreeBSD hangs when probing the USB controller. I have tried four different variants. HardenedBSD - Hangs on usb OpenBSD - Just fall out crashes NetBSD - Kills the server iDRAC FreeBSD - ahcich timeout on slot xx OmniOS which gives the error: No SOF interrupts have been received this usb ehci hostcontroller is unusable And all fail to boot with X2APIC enabled. I have tried the following tunables: kern.cam.boot_delay="10000" vfs.root_mount_always_wait=1 hw.usb.xhci.use_polling=1 But no cigar. Linux distribution works without problem, booting in to Debian 10 Stretch with no issues. I have raised a bug report and posted on the FreeBSD posts. The workaround for now is to turn off X2APIC, but you will loose HyperThreading capabilities or use a *nix distro which I am trying to avoid. Any help with this would be great. Cheers
