I installed a custom kernel with vt console driver enabled. I also enabled vt in /boot/device.hints. Now my boot process freezes just after the countdown finishes. The hard drive busy indicator is always on. If I disable vt and enable sc at the boot loader prompt (set hint.vt.0.disabled="1", unset hint.sc.0.disabled) then I can boot fine with sc. I did not encounter any problems during building or install. Am I missing something in the kernel configuration file? Am I using /boot/device.hints properly? Can I enable both sc and vt in device.hints? thanks anton The details: %uname -imprs FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE i386 i386 TRY %cat /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/TRY machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident TRY # To statically compile in device wiring instead of /boot/device.hints #hints "GENERIC.hints" # Default places to look for devices. makeoptions DEBUG=-g # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols #options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET # InterNETworking options INET6 # IPv6 communications protocols options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options MD_ROOT # MD is a potential root device options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS # Pseudo-filesystem framework options GEOM_GPT # GUID Partition Tables. options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev options AHC_REG_PRETTY_PRINT # Print register bitfields in debug # output.
