https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D251276 Bug ID: 251276 Summary: [boot] Legacy BIOS boot hangs indefinitely with post-12.0-RELEASE loader Product: Base System Version: 12.2-STABLE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ncollins@xes-inc.com Created attachment 219835 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D219835&action= =3Dedit screenshot of the step where booting hangs With 12.1-RELEASE, 12.2-RELEASE, and 13.0-CURRENT's /boot/loader, my server prints "BIOS drive X: is diskXX" lines, spins the cursor for a bit, and han= gs indefinitely. Removing all non-OS drives does not resolve the issue. I can replace /boot/loader with the version from 12.0-RELEASE and boot fine, so t= his seems like a regression. This is likely hardware-specific; the server is a Supermicro SuperStorage 6049P-E1CR36L with a mirrored zpool as the root. It was initially installed with 12.0-RELEASE, freebsd-update'd to 12.1-RELEASE, where this issue first occurred (was worked around via UEFI, see below), then freebsd-update'd to 12.2-RELEASE, which didn't resolve the issue. I then tested 13.0-CURRENT's loader and reverted to 12.0-RELEASE's loader. UEFI boot has other problems - it hangs at the "Consoles: EFI" line and will only boot normally if two drives are removed (all drive bays are usually populated). The behavior is the same with 12.0-RELEASE's /boot/loader.efi, = so while it's an issue, it's probably unrelated and not a regression from 12.0-RELEASE. This is potentially related to bug #241118, but the fix in base r356003 released in 12.2-RELEASE/13.0-CURRENT has not resolved the problem. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
