Hi, I checked both FreeBSD 11 RC2 and RC3 latest stable releases. Same issue ex= ists. When loading the kernel from USB pen drive at boot prompt, system get= s switched off. Could you please help?

Hi John, Thanks for your quick response. I did the same exercise on a super micro(X59SRL model) server, to segregate= the issue. The same issue is reproduced again. So IMHO this may not be the system UEFI firmware issue due to following two= reasons. 1. "load kernel" does not work on 2 different hardware platforms. 2. On FreeBSD 10.3 and 10.2, both the hardware platforms (HP ProLiant ML110= Gen9 and Super micro X59SRL) work without problem. Could you please advise some work around or any other exercise to narrow do= wn the issue.

I don't have a good suggestion on debugging this besides adding print= fs to the EFI loader code and/or moving an infinite loop around in the code= to narrow down exactly when it resets. It is quite possibly specific to t= he EFI firmware on your machine (at least, reproducing the issue might be). > Regards/Murthy Bhat > > -----Original Message----- > From: John Baldwin [mailto:jhb@freebsd.org] > Sent: Monday, August 29, 2016 10:52 PM > To: freebsd-current@freebsd.org > Cc: Murthy Bhat <murthy.bhat@microsemi.com>;=20 > FreeBSD-current@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Re: FreeBSD 11.0-RC1 boot prompt kernel load issue. > > EXTERNAL EMAIL > > > On Wednesday, August 24, 2016 01:35:08 PM Murthy Bhat wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > This is regarding issue faced during OS(FreeBSD 11.0-RC1) installation = on the storage behind our smartpqi storage controller. > > Are you using EFI or legacy boot? Also, can you capture a screenshot of = the crash messages? If it is not EFI, we probably crashed in the BIOS rout= ines used to read data from the USB drive. It may be a BIOS bug (which isn= 't easily fixable), but we would need the register dump from the crash to f= igure anything out. > > -- > John Baldwin -- John Baldwin
