I have recently acquired a new laptop (to replace the "Frankenlaptop" I've been using for the last several years).
The new machine is a Dell Precision M4400, so it's pretty recent technology compared to what I'm used to. :-} I installed FreeBSD 8.1-R on slice 1, customized it a bit to work in my environment, then cloned slice 1 to slice 2, booted from slice 2, populated /usr/src via "svn co" (pointing to stable/8, and upgraded slice to stable/8 as of r213245. So far, so good. I tinkered with it a bit more, building ports the way I want them, &c.; the following day, I upgraded to r213267. That went well, so I cloned slice 2 to slice 4, used "svn switch" to flip /usr/src from slice 4 to head, booted from slice 4, and upgraded slice 4 to 9.0-CURRENT as of r213267. On the reboot following the install (the "smoke test"), I noticed that the machine got most of the way through the kernel probes, then hung (requiring a power cycle to break out of it). It did this a few more times, then the next boot worked. I thought this odd, but not necessarily demonstrating a problem with FreeBSD: I hadn't had much experienmce with this particular hardware, after all. The following day (as is my usual pattern), I upgraded slice 2 to stable/8 as of r213295 without incident. After upgrading the installed ports, I then booted from slice 4 (after several tries), then upgraded slice 4 to head as of r213295. Again, attempts to boot from slice 4 usually -- but not always -- would hang, always in the same place. Now, I had hada a somewhat-similar hang on my work desktop, which is also a Dell machine. And in that case -- though there were several differences, soime of which may well be relevant -- a BIOS upgrade resolved that issue. So I checked; the laptop had BIOS A19, and Dell had A23 available. This morning, I upgraded slice 2 to stable/8 as of r213322, booted slice 4, and upgraded it to head as of r213322. Again, it woudl hang more often than not. This afternoon, after receiving appropriate encouragement (that yes, I probably could use Dell's Linux BIOS updater from a KNOPPIX environment), I was able to successfully update the BIOS to A23. Unfortunately, booting head (slice 4) still hangs -- usually. I'm unable to detect a pattern in why it sometimes boots OK, while most of the time it hangs. So when it hangs (today), It's runing: FreeBSD localhost 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #1 r213322: Fri Oct 1 10:18:30 PDT 2010 [email protected].:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY i386 And looking at the stable/8 /var/log/messages, when it boots under head, it runs along: ...

Now, I never saw this behavior with the old laptop, and I had been tracking stable/7, stable/8, and head on that on a daily basis ever since a stable/8 existed. (And I've been tracking head rather longer than that.) While I'm not about to assume that this indicates something wrong with FreeBSD, I'm a bit less inclined to believe that it might be a hardware/BIOS issue than I was yesterday. Here are some differences between what I saw with my work desktop vs. the new laptop: * Desktop would reliably hang on each alternate boot. No pattern detected for laptop, but hangs predominate (by a factor of about 4:1). * Desktop would hang on alternate boots regardless of which branch of FreeBSD I was trying to boot. Laptop only hangs on head. * BIOS upgrade resolved issue with desktop. So far, it hasn't with the laptop. How might I get sufficient appropriate additional detail that I might be able to help get this figured out, and possibly even fixed? I've attached a copy of the stable/8 dmesg.boot. I can get one form head, but this is what I have at the moment. I will, of course, be happy to test patches. Thanks! Peace, david -- David H.
