Following suggestion by Miroslav Lachman I have tested a few other releases of FreeBSD to see if this issue still persists, and if it was perhaps a regression. Unfortunately, in all the tests, 9.3-12.0-CURRENT, I get exactly the same error. The initial boot stops after displaying messages about ACPI or pcib0 memory detection.
To be precise, these are the versions that I have just tested, in all cases having validated the integrity of the download: FreeBSD-9.3-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img FreeBSD-11.1-STABLE-amd64-20170807-r322164-memstick.img FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20170807-r322167-memstick.img I have updated the bug [221350] description at: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221350 Please advise me @wishmaster, and anyone else, if in your opinion I should start a new discussion on another, more appropriate FreeBSD mailing list. Thank you for your kind help. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
