The following reply was made to PR conf/145311; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Henry Grebler <henrygrebler@optusnet.com.au> To: Garrett Cooper <yanefbsd@gmail.com> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: conf/145311: loader.conf can cause boot hang Date: Sun, 04 Apr 2010 08:35:17 +1000 Hi Garrett, Sorry about the delay. --> Could you try loading up the bootloader prompt and going: --> -->load snd_ich -->boot --> --> Also, same as above but with boot -v instead of boot? What happens -->in those two tries? 1. I have built another machine exclusively for testing this problem. 2. I created loader.conf as before and the boot process hangs in the same place. 3. With the problematic loader.conf, I then did as you asked. 3.1 load snd_ich boot As far as I can tell, hangs in the same way. 3.2 load snd_ich boot -v As far as I can tell, hangs in the same way. There are many extra messages of the form: pcm0: Mixer "video": I can't scroll back because the keyboard won't respond when it hangs. I don't have a serial console set up. Is there something I'm looking for? 4. I then did 3 again without entries in loader.conf (ie machine is able to boot). 4.1 load snd_ich /boot/kernel/snd_ic.ko text=... loading required module 'sound' /boot/kernel/snd_ic.ko text=... boot (I can give more detail on "..." if needed.) Boots ok (but remember, I did say "Each individual line by itself in loader.conf works"). 4.2 load snd_ich boot -v Boots ok. There are many extra messages. I can scroll back, but I don't know what to look for. Let me know if I can provide any more help. I didn't really understand what you were testing for, so I may not have done what you wanted.
