This problem still occurs with 5.3-RELEASE-p5.
We were bit by this too with a new server we're trying to put into
production. We have a dual cpu 2.8Ghz system. Snip from non-verbose dmesg:
==
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0
cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 6
MADT: Forcing active-low polarity and level trigger for SCI
==
We tried several bios options to change the mp table mapping.
Aside from the default 'auto', we also tried 'apic' and 'full'.
We also tried changing the OS selection from 'linux' to 'other'.
Nothing has made a difference, although it does change the
output at shutdown a little.
The last two lines displayed on the console after attempting the reboot
change slightly, depending on the options above, but I don't have it exactly
verbatim, and I don't have what changes coincide with which lines, as I was
working with someone at the datacenter where the server is located, and we
don't have a serial console hook up (yet?).
==
cpu_reset called on cpu #0
cpu_reset: Stopping other CPUs
==
==
cpu_reset: Restarting BSP
cpu_reset_proxy: Stop CPU 1
==
I'm love to help trouble shoot this, but the difficulty is of course
needing someone to be at the datacenter when the attempted reboots don't
come back. We may be able to get some integrated lights out management
going but I don't have an eta on that.
Is there any info I can provide from a running system to help?
My impression is that the initial install rebooted itself correctly,
but I could be wrong. I just know that finding that the system did not
reboot after a cvsup to -p5 came as a bit of a shock.
Any attention to this is appreciated, thanks. This is quite critical
to us as well.
