Hello everybody, on a Thinkpad X220 (Sandy Bridge/Cougar Point based) the installation medium loads but halts during boot. I tested the following versions of FreeBSD * 8.2-RELEASE * 9-CURRENT (latest official snapshot from 02/2011) * 9-CURRENT (latest snapshot from Nathan Whitehorn as of 20/04/2011 [1]) * 9-CURRENT (own release medium as of today prepared with the generate-release script) With 8.2, I see the same error messages as [2] with PCBSD-8 (not surprising, of course, but please note that there is no Firewire in this notebook). I do not see what the error message is with 9.0 before it halts. Anyway, according to Kris Moore this is a "known issue with FreeBSD". I have not found anything about such problem in the mailing list archives (apologies if I am wrong). Therefore my question simply is, whether this problem is known and (if yes) there is a fix or workaround available for CURRENT. If needed, I can post a dmesg of a successful boot of the openSUSE-11.4-LiveCD as reference (not doing so now because I assume the list will anyway eat the attachment). Also, I can provide whatever can be obtained using said Linux. Thanks a lot or any replies! :-) Johannes Dieterich [1] http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/ [2] http://forums.pcbsd.org/showthread.php?p=87366
