Got a little more information from watching slow video:

pcib1:  on apci0
pcib1: _OSC returned error 0x10

I think that may be AE_LIMIT, but I can't be sure.

Do you know if ACPI could be the root cause, I do see the ehci device
created later on, so it does 'see' the USB bus, but maybe that above error
prevents it from finding the hub?  I don't know I'm wildly speculating here.

Maybe I should address the above first, then circle around to this.

The loader is using the BIOS's USB code. Usually there is a handover 
from BIOS to OS, maybe that's where it's broken.

I do find it curious that the loader is able to work the USB hardware but
not the kernel.

Once I figure out how to capture the kernel output, I'll crank up the
debugging and post back here.

Hi,


USB_ERR_TIMEOUT might be an indication of a PCI IRQ issue.


Try to set:


hw.usb.xhci.use_polling=1

from the loader as a temporary quirk. Then try to dump information about
IRQ's like "vmstat -i" "dmesg" and so on.

--HPS

Thanks Hans, but unfortunately that made no difference.  Here's my full


loader.conf

vfs.mountroot.timeout="10"
boot_multicons="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole,efi"
kern.cam.boot_delay="1"
hw.usb.xhci.use_polling=1



Did you enable USB 3.0 in the BIOS when trying this?

--HPS

It was configured with USB3.0 OFF

I just toggled it ON, same result.

I verified the sysctl polling value from the loader before booting


Hi,

I suggest you bring this issue up with Dell customer support.

Further, maybe Linux XHCI / EHCI has a quirk for Dell R630.

Alternativly you can try to debug the XHCI/EHCI debug prints on your 
own. If you get a timeout it means something is not communicating like 
expected in the XHCI/EHCI DMA descriptors.
