RE: Has anyone been able to actually boot the AMD64 kernel afterr194958?

Hi Peg,

Yes I do have an r600 series graphics card.
Trying John Baldwin's from patch the "panic on acpi_cpu_c1()" thread at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/msi_assign.patch fixed the boot issues
from me

Paul

Hi Paul, 

	I think I may have tracked down the trigger, although I dont know
how to pin-
point the cause. 

	It looks like compiling in the radeondrm driver into the kernel is
the 
culprit. if I omit that line from my kernel config, the latest kernels will 
compile and boot properly on my machine.  I'm using a R7xx (but it load the 
R6xx code) radeon HD card. From talking to you, I know you are using a
proper 
R6xx card. 

	Strangely I can kldload the driver after the machine has booted and
all is 
well, it just seems to hate being compiled into the kernel.

	Can you see if this is the same on your machine?

Peg
