FreeBSD 9.3 does not boot up

Open alchemyx opened this issue 10 years ago • 5 comments

Altough ISO and IMG files are created just fine (mfsBSD 2.1), then resulting files are only partialy bootable. They stop after line "gcc version" and never resume. 9.2 ISOs/IMGs available from your site boot properly.

Tested on VirtualBox only.

Could be taking a while to decompress the mfsroot.gz? How long did you wait?

I did wait for about 15 minutes and still nothing. It may be possible I did something wrong. Maybe you have some images of 9.3 so I could test them out?

Thank you

Sorry, I'm using 10.0 with modified NKPT: https://github.com/johnko/mfsbsd-personal

It might also be the memory test if the system has gobs on RAM in it. Try setting hw.memtest.tests=0 in the loader.

I've got the same problem. It seems like the VM is doing nothing, I don't see CPU usage when it hangs.

I downloaded base.txz and kernel.txz for 9.3 and used this command: make iso BASE=../9.3-RELEASE RELEASE=9.3-RELEASE ARCH=amd64 SE=1

It would be nice to have a 9.3 se iso, now that 9.2 is approaching eol.
