I am booting from CD using the 6.1 ISO image from the standard distribution (others report the same problem on other releases). Boot never succeeds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The booting gets this far when pause_boot is specified (all typed by hand... typos are possible :( ): ... ohci0 mem 0xfe02f000-0xfe02ffff irq 21 at device 11.0 on pci) ohci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support usb0: SMM does not respond resetting At this point there is a complete hang, the machine must be hardware-reset. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When pause_boot is NOT specified, the probing gets much further (same with ACPI-disabled boot mode): ... vga0 ... Timecounter... panic: ohci_add_done: addr 0x3bef1ba0 not found ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In verbose mode, lots more output, of course: Timecounter... lo0: bfp attached rr232x: no controller detected panic: ohci_add_done: addr 0x3bef1ba0 not found ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that I have NOT fiddled with any BIOS settings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >How-To-Repeat: Just insert a boot disk and try to boot a Dell E521 (1GB RAM); pick your favorite boot mode >Fix: I am not the first to discover this! http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-October/003880.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-October/003942.html All appearances are that the USB prober/driver is confused. I can't figure out boot-hints to suggest alternative behavior. I can postal-mail an E521 (almost new-in-box) to lend to a developer who wishes to pursue this one. Given the apparently good price/performance of the machine, I expect many folks will be purchasing them. Otherwise, any hints or suggestions are welcome! RK >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
