Is this the same underlying reason why typing
"reboot" from the loader prompt of a RELENG_6
image will not reboot the box ? (I even tried
turning off DMA, but not sure if its really being turned off at this point)
e.g.
FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)÷÷ò
boot: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loaderConsoles: serial port
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS 639kB/523264kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
([EMAIL PROTECTED], Sat Sep 15 01:52:01 EDT 2007)
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x258e14
data=0x2bed4+0x16018 syms=[0x4+0x359d0+0x4+0x45239]
-
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK set hw.ata.ata_dma=0
OK set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0
OK reboot
Rebooting...
and it will just hang there never to reboot until the box is power cycled.
Normal reboots (e.g if I let the OS fully boot
and then do a normal "shutdown -r now") seems to
work for the most part. However, I think the odd
one has failed (1 in 100 or so) but I am not
entirely sure since its been somewhat rare.
