Hello, I'm bringing this to -acpi@ as suggested by jhb@. Some time ago while testing 9.0-RC2 I noticed that power management got broken (powerd doesn't start, Cx states disappeared) on a specific class of our minirouters. I created kern/162578, bisected the issue down to r216674 and I contacted the author - jhb@. John was kind to do a further analysis. Verbose boots before and after r216674 differ this way: -Calibrating TSC clock ... TSC clock: 532647138 Hz +Calibrating TSC clock ... TSC clock: 532648183 Hz -ACPI timer: 0/4 0/5 0/4 0/5 0/4 0/5 0/4 0/5 0/4 0/4 -> 0 -Timecounter "ACPI-safe" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 850 -acpi_timer0: <24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz> port 0x4008-0x400b on acpi0 +acpi_timer0: couldn't allocate resource (port 0x4008) -acpi_throttle0: P_CNT from P_BLK 0x4010 +acpi_throttle0: failed to attach P_CNT +device_attach: acpi_throttle0 attach returned 6 John's comment: > So this is the issue, and it seems what happens is that your > BIOS assigns the resources for this range to the pcib0 device > when we expect them to be assigned as a system resource (if > at all): > pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge> port > 0xcf8-0xcff,0x4000-0x407f,0x4080-0x40ff,0x5000-0x500f,0x6000-0x607f > on acpi0 > You could try hacking your ASL to not list the 0x4000-0x407f range > for now, but the real fix is probably to make resources attached > to Host-PCI bridge devices be treated as if they were system > resources and put into the ACPI system resource rman instead. > That requires a fair bit of work however. John also suggested to involve jkim@ and -acpi@. I'm going to experiment with ASL because it would be an acceptable solution to me and the real fix is way above my skills ATM. If anybody is interested in this I have a spare machine affected by this issue and I can do any test. Best regards Oli Kron
