The following reply was made to PR i386/87026; it has been noted by GNATS. From: uhclem@freebsd.org (Frank Durda IV) To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, nevans@talkpoint.com Cc: Subject: Re: i386/87026: [hang] Bootup hang on atkbdc on Compaq 1850R between 6.0-CURRENT-SNAP004 and 6.0-BETA5 Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 11:55:00 -0600 (CST) As some additional data points on this problem, some systems I have come into posession of demonstrate similar if not identical failures, sometimes BOTH on FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE and 6.1BETA4, but on more machines on 6.1BETA4. (I have only tested 5.4 RELEASE and 6.1BETA4.) The first system in question is a Compaq DL380R01 P800-256 128 US Dual 800/133 MHz with 256Kbyte cache processors, both CPUs present. Problem was originally noted with the Compaq Remote Insight card installed (PCI card device), but it was removed and it didn't change/improve the situation. Machine previously only ran NT. All PCI slots are empty. Verbose boot messages noted in FreeBSD 6.1BETA 4 (hand transcribed) COMPAQ System BIOS - P17 (12/18/2002) ... ... ioapic0; routing intpin 1 (ISA IRQ 1) to vector 54 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: current command byte:0065 kdbc: TEST_AUX_PORT status:0003 psm0: strange result for test aux port (3). kbdc: RESET_AUX return code:0000 The system hangs at this point. Will not respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL. Must cycle power since Compaqs don't have a reset button. Does not fail 100% of the time, but failure rate exceeds 90%. By chance, I was eventually able to boot from CD-ROM and then installed 6.1BETA4, but have been unable to boot direct from the hard disk or CD-ROM since, even with Verbose logging turned on. Booting the same box with FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE also fails with a few more verbose messages: (hand transcribed) COMPAQ System BIOS - P17 (12/18/2002) ... ... atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x64,0x60 irq 1 on acpi0 atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0 atkbd: the current kbd controller command byte 0065 atkbd: keyboard ID 0x41ab (2) kbdc: RESET_KBD return code:00fa kbdc: RESET_KBD status:00aa kbd0 at atkbd0 kbd0: atkbd0, AT 101/102 (2), config:0x0, flags:0x3d0000 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: current command byte:0065 kdbc: TEST_AUX_PORT status:0003 psm0: strange result for test aux port (3). kbdc: RESET_AUX return code:0000 and we die here. Meanwhile, the NT image on disk that I was unable to over-write boots and works, so the keyboard/mouse hardware appears functional. - - - - I also have a Compaq PL1850R 6/450 512 64 US, (1 CPU installed) which seems to be the immediate predecessor to the DL380 above (same chassis), and it also fails in a similar way, on 6.1BETA4, but boots and installs fine on 5.4 RELEASE. Here are the verbose boot messages from 6.1BETA4 (which hangs) COMPAQ System BIOS - P07 (02/14/2002) ... acpi: bad RSDP checksum (224) ...

Testing was done with all PCI card slots empty. This machine also previously only ran NT. - - - - Next, I have a Compaq DL380R01 P1000 256 US which boots on 6.1BETA4 consistently. Inside the case, the only obvious change from the 800MHz machine mentioned above to this one is the processors are now 1GHz vs 800MHz. The BIOS release also claims to be the same. Verbose boot messages for this successful boot look like this: COMPAQ System BIOS - P17 (12/18/2002) ... atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x64,0x60 irq 1 on acpi0 atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0 atkbd: the current kbd controller command byte 0065 atkbd: keyboard ID 0x41ab (2) kbd0 at atkbd0 kbd0: atkbd0, AT 101/102 (2), config:0x0, flags:0x3d0000 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: current command byte:0065 psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0 ioapic0: routing intpin (ISA IRQ 12) to vector 55 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: model IntelliMouse Explorer, device ID 4-00, 5 buttons psm0: config:00000000, flags:00000008, packet size:4 psm0: syncmask:08, syncbits:00 ppc0; using extended I/O port range ppc0: SPP ... and the boot succeeds. - - - - All three systems were tested above used the same KVM, keyboard and mouse (Logitech optical) attached. No network or other external devices were attached. This all makes me somewhat suspect a race/timing issue, which tends to cause more frequent problems on 6.1BETA4 (compared to 5.4R) on the slower processors. - - - - I'll also mention that despite the fact that the 1GHz system does boot and function predictably, it takes an extremely long time to boot, pausing for almost 90 seconds late in the probe/start process, after the second CPU is launched. Verbose logging shows it actually stalls out after: ... INTR: Assigning IRQ 19 to local APIC 0 ioapic0: Assigning PCI IRQ 19 to local APIC 0 (... 88 to 90 second pause ...) Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/idad0s1a Perhaps this issue that bears some thought since it does look like the system has hung and some people might not wait that long before giving up. ([CTRL]-T does not display anything during the pause either, so we aren't that far along.) Also, the DL380 models also have a variable speed processor/chassis fan that runs at full tilt under FreeBSD but under NT it would slow down too a slower and be much quieter (aka "office friendly") speed during the NT boot process and would remain quiet until a subsequent reboot. It would be nice if FreeBSD could knock this fan speed down so I don't have to put the FreeBSD boxes in far away places just because of the noise. Because the above machines that won't reliably boot FreeBSD are useless to me, I have set them aside, but will eventually have to dispose of them. (They are part of a larger collection of Compaq/HP machines dumped in my lap as part of a corporate split, and I only need a portion of them to do what needs to be done.) If you would like some further debugging attempted on the above machines, please request this ASAP before I put these things in storage or they get sold. Thanks.
