Hi there, I've replaced my old desktop with a laptop and a server, which is mostly working great. Naturally, the server is running FreeBSD-stable. It's built on an intel i3 MiniITX motherboard that has lots of SATA sockets, a respectable number of USB sockets, gigabit ethernet, eSATA, DVI, ... but no serial ports or PS/2 keyboard or mouse ports. Most of the time this is fine, but I've found that sometimes it is very nice to be able to debug something at a console. Particularly if something goes wrong when doing an upgrade of some sort. I've discovered that I can use the old VGA screen and USB keyboard for a console if I have them plugged in at boot time, but if something goes wrong after boot, plugging a keyboard in doesn't seem to help. If I find a USB-to-RS232 dongle, will the console mechanism be able to find it? I worry that only legacy-16550-ish serial ports need apply. Any other possibilities or common practices? Oh: the other thing about this system: I can't warm-start it, have to power down and then manually hit the power-on button. Attempting to reboot leaves the console sitting at something like "Stopping other CPUs" forever. I assume that this is a BIOS config problem, but haven't found the right control knob yet. I've tried turning hyperthreading on and off: no difference. Reading the kernel code around that message suggests that rebooting involves getting the keyboard controller to send an NMI, and I wonder if the legacy-free no-keyboard state of my system is having an effect on that, too? Cheers, -- Andrew

It's been suggested that I make the output of dmidecode (from
ports/sysutils), pciconf -lv and dmesg.boot available, to help
answer my previosu question. Since all of that output is
relatively small and I don't really have a good web site to put
it, I'll just include it, below. Hope this helps!

If it works, just add it in /etc/sysctl.conf. FYI, it is automatically set since r213755 and MFC'd to stable/8 as r215006. Jung-uk Kimr213755

I really don't know if this may be relevant, but spotted in your dmesg: device_attach: acpi_perf1 attach returned 6 est0: <Enhanced SpeedStep Frequency Control> on cpu0 p4tcc0: <CPU Frequency Thermal Control> on cpu0 device_attach: acpi_perf1 attach returned 6 est1: <Enhanced SpeedStep Frequency Control> on cpu1 est: CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized. est: cpu_vendor GenuineIntel, msr 16 device_attach: est1 attach returned 6 p4tcc1: <CPU Frequency Thermal Control> on cpu1 I'm used to seeing est either attach to both CPUs, or fail to attach to either CPU. Here it's attached to cpu0, but not to cpu1. Is that odd? cheers, Ian

I have this exact issue on a (very) small box I bought recently. Details here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2010-October/006813.html My post didn't yield any responses, and I haven't found a solution. There is a few acpi reboot related looking sysctls though. They didn't do anything for me, but maybe they will work for you, if you haven't already tried them: # sysctl hw.acpi | grep reboot hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot: 0 hw.acpi.handle_reboot: 0 Good luck, Thomas Steen Rasmussen
