Hi All, I thought of helping out beta testing FreeBSD 7.0, so I gave it a shot on one of our HP BL465c G1 blades. Problem is, serial output stops right before the login prompt should kick in. Thats sad... I need serial output (don't wanna go with the crappy Java applet for VGA output). So here's what I did: cvsup'ed RELENG_7 from today, build a NFSROOT and pxeboot'ed FreeBSD. Kernel is GENERIC, but with scheduler changed to SCHED_ULE here's a snipped of a verbose boot: sio0: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0: port may not be enabled sio0: irq maps: 0 0 0 0 sio0: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0: port may not be enabled sio0: irq maps: 0 0 0 0 sio0: <Standard PC COM port> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 flags 0x10 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A, console looks like he's complaining, eh? But I have serial output until here: Trying to mount root from nfs: bceN0F:S lRiOnOkT :s t1a0t.e3 8c.h0a.n1g4e:d/ utsor /DlOoWcNa l/nfsroot/freebsd-70-amd64 bce0:b cGei0g:a bliitn kl isntka tuep changed to UP start_init: trying /sbin/init bce1: link state changed to UP looks like some garbled output between bce0 and it seems to say: bec0: link state changed to up NFS ROOT: 10.38.0.14:/usr/local/nfsroot/freebsd-70-amd64 although I guess thats no problem... my configuration as is: /boot.config -Dh /boot/loader.conf boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="9600" console="comconsole,vidconsole" Yes, I like to have serial output and as a fallback vga output. /etc/ttys [mhettwer@blowfish] </usr/local/nfsroot/freebsd-70-amd64>grep ttyd0 etc/ttys [16:10:55 on 07-12-13] ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure I believe my configuration is correct, isn't it? Where's my login prompt? :) It's there with VGA output... complete verbose boot output can be delivered on demand... Any ideas what's going wrong?! best regards, Marian
