Re: Is it worth waiting for AMD Opteron X3000 support in FreeBSD? Bug [221350]
Following suggestion by Miroslav Lachman I have tested a few other releases of FreeBSD to see if this issue still persists, and if it was perhaps a regression. Unfortunately, in all the tests, 9.3-12.0-CURRENT, I get exactly the same error. The initial boot stops after displaying messages about ACPI or pcib0 memory detection. To be precise, these are the versions that I have just tested, in all cases having validated the integrity of the download: FreeBSD-9.3-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img FreeBSD-11.1-STABLE-amd64-20170807-r322164-memstick.img FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20170807-r322167-memstick.img I have updated the bug [221350] description at: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221350 Please advise me @wishmaster, and anyone else, if in your opinion I should start a new discussion on another, more appropriate FreeBSD mailing list.

Is it worth waiting for AMD Opteron X3000 support in FreeBSD? Bug [221350]
Apologies if this is the wrong way to approach the FreeBSD community wisdom: I am new here, please forgive. I am unable to boot/install FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img (dated 2017-July-21) on a brand-new HPE MicroServer Gen10 containing an AMD Opteron X3421. Boot hangs very early in the process. I have described the issue, and all remedies that I have tried, in detail on the forum (https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/61936/) and I have logged a bugzilla bug [221350]. It has been suggested to me that FreeBSD might not yet support this new AMD processor, or that it has issues with the chipset. As this is equipment from a major vendor, I wonder if it is likely that it would be supported at some stage in the *near* future. Although I am somewhat new to FreeBSD, I have 30+ years of dev/OS/crypto/AI experience (way back from System V) and I would be willing and hopefully able to help debug this issue if it is at all likely that I could get support for it from the FreeBSD developers. May I politely ask if in your opinion this equipment is likely to be supported soon? If not, I will return it to the vendor and use something a little older. If this is the wrong place to ask, please kindly direct me to the correct mailing list.

Re: Is it worth waiting for AMD Opteron X3000 support in FreeBSD? Bug [221350]
Many thanks, Kurt, for pointing out those other 3 bug reports. On the face of it, they look different to mine. In my case, and in the case of another user who has reported this on the FreeNAS forum (affecting FreeBSD 11.0), the boot progresses past the point shown in the 3 reports that you have suggested, by perhaps another 5-10 seconds. Kindly have a look at the screenshots I have submitted within the bug report here: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221350 ...and you may notice that the boot process hangs just after it has displayed messages about pci0 acpi. The verbose boot (screenshot also above) shows that the boot process seems to have just identified memory modules on pcib0. The remaining screenshots show kernel panics when I tried to disable ACPI. I will test the boot with the other releases of FreeBSD as suggested by Miroslav Lachman, later today, and I will report back here, then I suppose I can make a decision if to move this discussion to freebsd-current, as recommended by @wishmaster. I apologise for confusing which list to keep reporting to.
