Weird. It's sitting there in contigmalloc() allocating 32 pages for the
GATT. Why this doesn't happen, I don't know.

How much RAM do you have installed?

This is my first time messing with DFly and so far I am somewhat concerned
that this bug has not been addressed. How stable is DFly? Ready for
production?

Yes, stable, though not all corner cases might be fleshed out, of course.

I was able to reproduce on another identical box. After much messing with, I
was unable to get it to load completely.

1GB

Yes, stable, though not all corner cases might be fleshed out, of course.

Anyone do any benchmarks vs. FBSD 6 in re: to network performance?

I was attempting to perform this test, however as you can see, I am unable
to get it to run.

My guess is that the problem is the video card's aperture size.
If the video is on the motherboard, it might be possible to fix
it by adjusting the aperture size from the BIOS.

Hi guys,

I have a very similar symptom and I can't finish init.

The last thing I see on the console is

pcib1: device cbb0 requested decoded memory range 0x88000000 - 0xffffffff

I can run the Olive BSD 3.8 live CD and I was hoping to be able to play
with dragonfly.....

Greetings,

I cannot boot off the LiveCD, or from an installation dumped on a drive on a
separate system. FreeBSD 4.x + 5.x + 6.x are all OK.

During the boot process it hits the agp0 detection and then sits there like
an idiot. CTRL+ALT+DEL work fine although no ACPI messages appear.

Last three lines appear are:

boot -v

agp0.pci0.pcib0.legacypci0.nexus0.root0
agp0: <Intel 83875P host to AGP bridge> [tentative] mem 0-0x1ffffff at
device 0.0 on pci0
agp0: allocating GATT for aperture of size 128M

What should come next is the USB stuff but instead, nothing.

Single usermode is no joy
ACPI disabled is no joy
Safemode is no joy
AGP module disable via boot prompt no joy

This is my first time messing with DFly and so far I am somewhat concerned
that this bug has not been addressed. How stable is DFly? Ready for
production?

Cheers!

Have you tried the other steps that the original poster mentioned -
booting without ACPI, etc.?

cbb0 is the CardBus device, as I recall, so I assume you are using a
laptop. It may be worthwhile to check for others running that model under
FreeBSD -

Hi Justin,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, I did try the other boot options, and it stalls in the same place
on init. My PC is not listed on those other sites, but several other
PCs from the same family are (same product line but not identical
model). And, I am able to run other OpenBSD live CDs.

If anybody has other ideas please let me know.

Thank you,
Randux
