From: Heiner To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, joseph@magnesium.net Cc: Subject: Re: i386/80739: Strange panic (keyboard related?) on 5.4 when dropping to single-user mode Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2005 09:17:45 +0200 Same on my machine: FreeBSD 7of9.unimatrix-zero.borg 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Fri May 6 16:42:06 CEST 2005 root@7of9.unimatrix-zero.borg:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386 I found a third way to crash the kernel: If you press any key during the boot process after the hard disks have been mounted, it also crashes. On my machine during the boot process a lot of output is scrolling over the screen. But at the line "Starting sshd." the scrolling stops a few seconds. If I then press any key, the crash happens. Pressing any key before the disks are mounted does not harm. If I do not touch anything, a few moments later the boot prompt appears and everything is fine. I haven't seen this on FreeBSD 5.3, but I am not sure if I ever dropped into the single user mode there. Heiner
