boot hang

Hello, Whenever I connect an internal storage SATA hard drive or external storage USB hard drive, FreeBSD does not boot and gets stuck at a prompt requiring me to enter a path name of shell. If I unplug the storage hard drive and restart the PC, FreeBSD boots as usual. Would like to note that...

I have recently installed FreeBSD 13.1 on one of my machines, and it hangs around every one in three times on boot. When it hangs, the last thing displayed on screen is this, and everything freezes - it needs to be powered off by holding the power button: ata3: <ATA channel> at channel 1 on...

I'm stumped with a problem and would appreciate any pointers for troubleshooting. I got my RPI to start booting in 3440x1440 with the following /boot/msdos/config.txt: [all] arm_64bit=1 dtparam=audio=on,i2c_arm=on,spi=on dtoverlay=mmc dtoverlay=disable-bt device_tree_address=0x4000...

While testing the capabilities of beadm and boot environments on a spare machine, I deleted the /boot directory, and the system would no longer boot. With competent help from IRC, I was able to recover without booting a rescue system (except in case 3c) as defined below). I'm here to describe...

tl;dr I added 'snd_driver_load="YES"' and now I am stuck at freebsd logo with loud fans. I haven't been able to get audio to work on my new FreeBSD 13-CURRENT install. I had basically tried everything, reconnected everything and pressed every google, bsd forum and bug tracker link and done...

Hello, I recently installed FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. FreeBSD booted fine from a technical perspective, but took about five minutes to get to a login prompt. I reflashed the SD card with the RELEASE version, and the same thing happened. I noticed it hung up somewhere near...

I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad E485(Ryzen3 2200, only HDD attached) and trying to install FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE, but booting always stucks on a line: ahcich0: AHCI reset... and sometimes hangs on one line before or after that line. I'm wondering if the laptop is defective, in case I have to change it.

The system is a Supermicro H8QG6 mobo, fitted with a single Opteron 6174, with 32 Gigs of RAM. The same system is running 11.x, with zero problems, for a couple of months. FreeBSD 12 install media freezes (the pipe stops rotating) on this screen then about 40 seconds later the screen gets...

Good day, everyone. I recently installed FreeBSD 11.2 on my desktop, however I have been having some issues. My system only boots on safe mode. Whenever I boot with verbose mode, I get stuck on the Core id Shift 1. I asked on reddit's FreeBSD subreddit and was told that it is probably a bug in...

Hi, I've got a raspberry pi 2b running Freebsd 11.0. Works fine (except keeping world up to date is a pain for a non-tier-1 architecture), but given that 11.0 is EOL I need to upgrade to 11.1. So I built a new image with crochet from branch releng/11.1 in git. However, this image fails to boot...

For those of you using KVM as a hypervisor for FreeBSD guest machines, if a freshly installed FreeBSD 10.4-release guest hangs during boot, it might be 213155. See screenshot This also happens if you upgrade a guest machine from FreeBSD 10.3 to FreeBSD 10.4. My host machine has an AMD...

Hi, It is a new install on an old IBM tower server. I have played with 10.x 32 and 64 bit on it before but this is 64bit 11.1. I think there is an issue with a hard disk but it seems inconsistent. The server is an IBM 84852AU 206m. The boot drive is a SATA 64GB ssd taken from and HP proliant...
