Salem >Release: 4.0 >Organization: private use >Environment: Sorry I am not at my box right now. The machine is a HP Vectra 7 , i686 (PII)233 MHz, 32MB RAM, running FreeBSD 3.3 RELEASE but the problem is related to installation or upgrade using a 4.0 RELEASE CD-ROM. >Description: When booting from the CD or the floppies created from the CD the following messages are shown before a complete freeze (I copied them by hand, so there may be some typos, sorry): ----- begin transcript of the messages before freeze: ... Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc033b000. Preloaded mfs-root "/mfsroot" at 0xc033b084. Pentium Pro MTRR support enabled md0: Preloaded image </msroot> 147456 bytes at 0xc0315b98 md1: Malloc disk npx0: <math processot> on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface pcib0: <Intel 82433LX (440LX) host to PCI bridge> on motherboard pci0: <PCI bus> on pcbi0 pcib1: <Intel 82433LX (440LX) PCI-PCI (AGP) bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0 pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1 pci1: <Cirrus Logic GD5465 SVGA controller> at 0.0 irq 9 isab0: <Intel 82371AB PCI to ISA bridge> at device 4.0 on pci0 isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0 atapci0: <Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller> port 0xfcd0-0xfcdf at device 4.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 pci0: Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller at 4.2 irq 9 chip1: <Intel 82371AB Power Management controller> port 0x8800-0x880f at device 4.3 on pci0 ----- end transcript of the messages before freeze At this point the booting freeze completely. The only way to reset the machine is plugging off the wire (power chord) and no other possibility. >How-To-Repeat: Try it again, and again, and again playing with the BIOS setup does not help. The problem is the same regardless I use the floppy images or the CD-ROM to try the install/upgrade on this machine. >Fix: I do not know if I am correct, but it seems a conflict between the USB controller and the SVGA controller both trying to use irq 9. In 3.3-RELEASE at config time I was shown the PCI devices (eventhough one could not reconfigure them). This is no longer the case in the 4.0-RELEASE install. Could you please reply to my e-mail addresses above, if this pr is completely nonsense? Thanks. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
