Bizarre it is...
HEAD (r295683, 02/17/2016) boots fine.
BETA3 fails.
This time I checked with vendor-ISO images, while before it was a custom
setup rollout with local patches and special hw adaptions. Now I'm sure
it's not site-related.
With BETA3-iso, where booting fails, "random: unblocking device."
happens after timecounter initialization and before attaching ses0/cdX/adaX.
With HEAD-iso, where booting succeeds, "random: unblocking device."
happens way after ses0/adaX/cdX attached, right before rc.
On HEAD, ahci-devices attach in the same order as with -stable pre-r295480.
Since r295480, cdX attaches before adaX on -stable and while searching
for the cluprit, I had observed that attaching-order was a clear
indicator whether machine boots or not.
Sorry, I can't provide more useful info at this time, I just can
describe simple symptoms :-(
While playing with that machine I remember having had such a bizarre
problem before, arising with r284665. Here's what I found in my kernel
config:
# Don't build kernel with RACCT by default, which was enabled with r284665,
# since ahci(4) fails when using MSI with ahcichX timeout!
nooptions RACCT # Resource accounting framework
nooptions RACCT_DEFAULT_TO_DISABLED # Set
kern.racct.enable=0 by default
nooptions RCTL # Resource limits
Perhpas it's related?!
