Hi,
I need to install FreBSD on an Intel system with s5000pal mainboard. The
problem is, that on the kernel loading stage, FreeBSD reboots the
server. Like, always and silently, without trapping. I have plugged out
all of the discrete PCI controllers, leaving only onboard ones. Still
reboots. I was suspecting this is some kind of hardware problem, so I
ran the memtest (no errors for two hours) and I've even switched the
server (I have two identical ones). New server reboots too. So, looks
like it's some kind of FreeBSD issue. I've updated the BIOS on both,
tried to boot without ACPI - and this doesn't help (and without ACPI
FreeBSD refuses to even start to load kernel).
You did not provide any information about your issue. It is not known
even whether the loader breaks for you, or a kernel starts booting and
failing.
Ideally, you would use serial console and provide the log of everything
printed on it, before the reboot.
What kind of boot do you use, legacy BIOS or EFI ? What version of
FreeBSD ?
I had exactly the same issue with s5000pal after updating from 10.3-RELEASE-p4
to 11-RELEASE amd64.
The FreeBSD 11 installer cannot boot as well. I used legacy BIOS (I believe
s5000pal doesn't support EFI).
10.3-RELEASE and previous FreeBSD versions worked well on s5000pal.
