This is current/amd64 on a Dell PowerEdgee R200 (dmesg below). Right after install, the first boot hangs after checking the filesystems. Looking at /etc/rc in single user mode (adding set -x), it's apparently the ttyflags -a call; indeed, commenting that out makes it boot OK.
I am now aware of three ways to work around it: 1. disable com in the kernel 2. comment out ttyflags in /etc/rc 3. comment out tty00 and tty01 in /etc/ttys I find 3. preferable; in absence of an actual fix, what would people suggest? This machine was last upgraded in 2015 (yeah, 5.8) so that's the only comparison I have for now. Full dmesg also below; beside renaming etc, the actual difference seems to be this: +acpipci0 at acpi0 PCI0: 0x00000010 0x00000011 0x00000000 +acpicmos0 at acpi0 +com0 at acpi0 COMA addr 0x3f8/0x8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo +com1 at acpi0 COMB addr 0x2f8/0x8 irq 3: ti16750, 64 byte fifo +com1: probed fifo depth: 0 bytes -com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo -radeondrm0: 1024x768 +radeondrm0: RV100 +[drm] *ERROR* radeon: ring test failed (scratch(0x15E4)=0xCAFEDEAD) +[drm] *ERROR* radeon: cp isn't working (-22). +drm:pid0:r100_startup *ERROR* failed initializing CP (-22). +drm:pid0:r100_init *ERROR* Disabling GPU acceleration +radeondrm0: 1280x1024, 16bpp So the old kernel, which booted fine, didn't have com1; and the drm errors were not reported. Disabling drm and/or radeondrm makes no difference w.r.t. the hang; disabling com makes it go away. I suspect it's com1; I have yet to try commenting out just tty01. But commenting out both makes it boot OK. com0 at acpi0 COMA addr 0x3f8/0x8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo com1 at acpi0 COMB addr 0x2f8/0x8 irq 3: ti16750, 64 byte fifo Are these known to misbehave under ttyflags? I realize a lot has changed since then, but it's a production machine, and while I would love nothing more than go through the releases one by one, this machine has to run now.
