X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:32:49 -0000 Hi! Today I've updated my 7.0-STABLE system using source upgrade path. loader(8) boots it just fine but it's impossible to issue commands using its command prompt mode (N.B.: beastie_disable="YES" and autoboot_delay="2" are in my /boot/loader.conf). At boot time, I hit "Space" button to reach its command prompt - that works. While typing of a command, I observe one of bad things: 1) it just hangs solid (keyboard LEDs do not switch) after a couple of characters entered, or 2) system spontaneously reboots while typing, or 3) it shows endless flow of hex dump, presumably from BTX. Most of time it hangs, a couple of times I've got reboot and once there was hex dump. I use vidconsole with PS/2 keyboard. Seldom I've allowed to type 'boot -s' and hit enter without a problem - it boots system OK then. So, I assume there is a problem with vidconsole input/output routines. I've rebuilt /boot/loader using sources of 7.0-RELEASE and it works nice now. My has Intel D975XBX motherboard, I use PS/2 keyboard. What should I try to debug this? Here is my /etc/src.conf: WITHOUT_ATM= WITHOUT_AUDIT= WITHOUT_AUTHPF= WITHOUT_ZFS= WITHOUT_CDDL= WITHOUT_FORTRAN= WITHOUT_GCOV= WITHOUT_HTML= WITHOUT_I4B= WITHOUT_INET6= WITHOUT_IPFILTER= WITHOUT_IPX= WITHOUT_KERBEROS= WITHOUT_PF= WITHOUT_PROFILE= And I have 'CPUTYPE?=pentium4' in /etc/make.conf Eugene Grosbein
