List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2016 16:26:45 -0000 I have observed a 11.0p3 freezing during the boot process several times now. It gets as far as running the netif script, displaying the interfaces and then goes on to devd and dhclient at which point it stops dead. No keyboard response. It requires long-press of power to shut it down and restart, at which point it typically boots normally: wlan0: Ethernet address: 70:1a:04:xx:yy:zz Created wlan(4) interfaces: wlan0. Created clone interfaces: lagg0. re0: link state changed to DOWN Starting wpa_supplicant. lagg0: link state changed to DOWN re0: link state changed to UP lagg0: link state changed to UP Starting Network: lo0 re0 wlan0 lagg0. lo0: flags=8049 metric 0 mtu 16384 options=600003 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=21 groups: lo re0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=82098 ether 70:1a:04:xx:yy:zz nd6 options=29 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active wlan0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 70:1a:04:xx:yy:zz nd6 options=29 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier ssid "" channel 153 (5765 MHz 11a) regdomain FCC country US indoor ecm authmode WPA1+WPA2/802.11i privacy MIXED deftxkey UNDEF txpower 23 bmiss 7 mcastrate 6 mgmtrate 6 scanvalid 60 wme burst roaming MANUAL bintval 0 groups: wlan lagg0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 70:1a:04:xx:yy:zz inet6 fe80::721a:4ff:fexx:yyzz%lagg0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 nd6 options=23 media: Ethernet autoselect status: active groups: lagg laggproto failover lagghash l2,l3,l4 laggport: re0 flags=5 laggport: wlan0 flags=0<> Starting devd. Starting dhclient. ----- freezes dead here On a normal boot, the next lines would be: wlan0: link state changed to UP Starting pflog. pflog0: promiscuous mode enabled This is a laptop with its re0 and wlan0 interfaces configured together under lagg using the wlan's MAC as the re's MAC too. The relevant config in rc.conf are these: ether_wlan0="70:1a:04:xx:yy:zz" ifconfig_re0="ether $ether_wlan0 -txcsum -rxcsum up" wlans_ath0=wlan0 create_args_wlan0="regdomain FCC country US" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport re0 laggport wlan0 DHCP" # WAN_IF ifconfig_lagg0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv" This boot freeze happens probably 5-10% of the time, so problematic enough. This problem was never observed on 10.x or 9.x or even 8.x on the same laptop. What other info can I provide? -jr
