commit 50b53814fb840b70162a846420b75c5bb9432931
Author: Sepherosa Ziehau <>
Date:   Sun May 17 13:11:50 2009 +0800

   More clock cleanup:

   - Move rtc initialization to SI_BOOT2_CLOCKREG, SI_ORDER_FIRST
   - Staticize cpu_initclocks()

My thinkpad T42 fails to mount the root device with ACPI enabled. When
I boot without ACPI it works fine.

Looks like acpi timer is whacked. Could you do following test:
set debug.acpi.disabled="timer"
and boot the problematic kernel?

Anyone has clue why this happened (i8254 and rtc initialization
order)? All of my testing boxes works fine with the new order
though...

This doesn't help. Unfortunately I can't read the complete console

OK, before I could figure out what's wrong with the reordering, I
revert the commit. Please re-pull HEAD.

Just noticed that even with revision
7e7d17cb48838b48389fb990950f2959b9635e63
I still can't mount the root disk iff I load usb modules (usb, ehci,
umass) during boot via /boot/loader.conf - which I normally don't to
allow CPU to enter C3 state.

So maybe this is just some sort of timing problem?
Is anyone else seeing this? I guess thinkpads are quite common here.

You box is UP, so only i8254 is used. C3 does not affect the i8254
interrupt timer.

So maybe this is just some sort of timing problem?

This looks very strange, could you give me the bootverbose dmesgs:
w/ ACPI, w/o usb modules
w/o ACPI, w/ usb modules
I think using these two combinition, your box is booting?

BTW, what will happen if you load USB modules after boot?

Right, but usb modules prevent the CPU from entering C3 generally
(As far as I know it's a bus mastering DMA thing).

Ah, just noticed that it's detected as ad1 in that case:

http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~hofmann/acpi_usb.dmesg

It looks very strange to me, do you have ATA_STATIC_ID in your kernel
config file?

Yes, I do. Nevertheless I'm currently compiling GENERIC to check whether
that makes a difference.

Well it does: The problem occurs with GENERIC only if I comment out
all USB support, add

device drm
device radeondrm

and load usb, ehci, umass from /boot/loader.conf

Very weird indeed...

Comment out:
kern.do_async_attach="1"
in your /boot/loader.conf

I also noticed this and started to get embarrassed that I forgot
about it :-)
But commenting out this line doesn't fix the problem.
Instead I noticed that the problem starts with the DRM update in
b3705d716ab5621c5cac8741394ad6cab7e5c99b
It's a rather huge changeset unfortunately...
