Hi: Booting a Dell Latitude D620 with LATEST-i386-master.img from a USB pen drive boots up fine with the selection screen and it runs till it reaches the following line
... isa_probe_children : probing PnP devices ... The boot process seems to then hang at this point. Th system specs are: Dell Latitude D620 BIOS version A05 Intel Core Duo processor Dual Core = Yes / 1.66 GHz DDR2 SDRAM 1280 MB Intel 945GM Graphics Intel Pro Wireless 60GB WD HDD The laptop is more than 3 yrs old and i was hoping that DragonFlyBSD should boot up fine on this device. Q: Is there a work around to this issue ? An additional observation here is: if the device is booted with 'ACPI disabled' the root mount fails. This is identical to what i reported for Acer Aspire One. Q: Can some of the experienced folks share their insight as to why disabling ACPI causes ffs_mountroot to fail ? thanks Saifi.
