https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235060 --- Comment #28 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-fbsd@yahoo.com> --- (In reply to Curtis Hamilton from comment #0) The technical problem has been identified and head -r347463 has a fix, listed as to be MFC'd in a couple of weeks. See Justin's fix in: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2019-May/124910.html So far 2 people have reported to me that the change has fixed the booting problems they were having on their multi-socket or multi-core PowerMac G5s (970 family of processors). The change is in code only used for when there are multiple 970 cpus involved (in FreeBSD terms for "cpu"). Technically, I think this bugzilla report will end up being declared as a duplicate of: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D233863 that is now "in progress" for the change. It also has patches for issues found during exploring/investigating what all was blocking various machines from booting in various modes. I'm not so sure those other issues will be handled as part of the resolution: it will probably be viewed as a narrower, more specific report. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
