Something I noticed at 3.8.0RC: at boot, the kernel complains that it
cannot find

/boot/kernel/acpi
/boot/kernel/ehci

On which box is this? Is it an upgraded system. If not, which ISO/IMG was
used? Any idea when it started?


I have not seen it with 3.6.x on Virtualbox. I did a fresh install
with dfly-x86_64-3.8.0RC.iso.bz2 on Virtualbox this morning, uname -a

DragonFly dflybox 3.8-RELEASE DragonFly v3.8.0rc-RELEASE #12: Sun May

[email protected]:/usr/obj/build/home/justin/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC
 x86_64

and noticed the message when booting the installed system from hdd
(the install cd loaded both modules fine). After the kernel loads from
hdd, it says:

--
Unable to load /boot/kernel/acpi
Unable to load /boot/kernel/ehci
ACPI autoload failed - inappropriate file type or format
EHCI autoload failed - inappropriate file type or format

It must be a new issue specific to VirtualBox. I just tried

http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/iso-images/dfly-x86_64-3.8.0RC.iso.bz2

in Microsoft's Hyper-V and it _does_ load the acpi and ehci modules when booting from the ISO itself and also when booting a system which was installed from this ISO.

I also now remember a guy in the #dragonflybsd IRC channel who had the same issue (also on VirtualBox) some weeks ago. I'll look a bit further tonight if I can find something.
