With RELENG_8 the machine had no loader.conf, and the power button worked on my desktop machine. Now with ACPI disabled my power button does not work. I have found that the machine hangs at boot during a scan of the PCI bus, but if I disable that (hw.acpi.disable=pci) then the machine cannot find a boot drive. > > So I have lost functionality that worked fine in BSD 8. Do you have a necessary reason to upgrade to 9 given this situation? Given the conditions I would stay you should stay with 8. > Thoughts? Suggestions? Provide full output from a verbose boot so developers can try to figure out where the problem is. You will either need serial console or firewire console for this task, as the amount of text will be too much to type in (many, many screens worth). Simply showing a photo of the last screen where it locks up may not be sufficient. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
