Since a few days ago, booting no longer works reliably for me. Every now and then the system hangs at the time when I'd normaly provide the passphrase. The last times this happened I was in a hurry, so I'm not entirely sure if the prompt for the passphrase is even shown (on my system it's always buried in USB messages anyway). Sometimes keyboard input is ignored completely, sometimes I can still use shift lock or scroll through the kernel messages. When this happened the first time, rebooting the system solved the problem. By "rebooting" I mean shutting down the system by keeping the power button pressed and then powering the system on again. When the system hangs, it doesn't seem to react to the ACPI event that is generated by pressing the power button shortly. Today I rebooted the system three times in a row without getting it to work so I finally unloaded geom_eli from the loader prompt, booted to single-user mode and attached the geli provider from there. When I booted a few hours later with the same kernel it worked right away. I think I experienced the problem the first time with a kernel from last Wednesday, currently I'm using: FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT Fri Sep 17 18:25:39 CEST 2010 amd64 It definitively didn't happen with a kernel from last Saturday, but then again I seldomly boot the system more than once a day and the problem doesn't always show. I enabled boot_verbose=3D"-v" and kern.geom.eli.visible_passphrase=3D1 and thus expect to be able to provide a more detailed problem description the next time this happens. Has anyone else seen this?
