>Environment:
Dell E521 dual processor 64bit AMD 3800+
System: generic ISO image for 6.1

>Description:

This is a new Dell E521 dual processor 64bit AMD 3800+ machine. I
am booting from CD using the 6.1 ISO image from the standard
distribution (others report the same problem on other releases).
Boot never succeeds.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The booting gets this far when pause_boot is specified (all typed
by hand... typos are possible :( ):

...
ohci0 <OHCI (generic USB controller> mem 0xfe02f000-0xfe02ffff irq 21 at device 11.0 on pci)
ohci0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
usb0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support
usb0: SMM does not respond resetting

At this point there is a complete hang, the machine must be hardware-reset.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

When pause_boot is NOT specified, the probing gets much further
(same with ACPI-disabled boot mode):

...
vga0 ...
Timecounter...
panic: ohci_add_done: addr 0x3bef1ba0 not found

----------------------------------------------------------------------

In verbose mode, lots more output, of course:

Timecounter...
lo0: bfp attached
rr232x: no controller detected
panic: ohci_add_done: addr 0x3bef1ba0 not found

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that I have NOT fiddled with any BIOS settings.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

>How-To-Repeat:
	Just insert a boot disk and try to boot a Dell E521 (1GB
	RAM); pick your favorite boot mode
>Fix:

	I am not the first to discover this!

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-October/003942.html

All appearances are that the USB prober/driver is confused. I can't
figure out boot-hints to suggest alternative behavior.

I can postal-mail an E521 (almost new-in-box) to lend to a developer
who wishes to pursue this one. Given the apparently good price/performance
of the machine, I expect many folks will be purchasing them.

Otherwise, any hints or suggestions are welcome!

 Hi,
 
 Came across your problem report. I happen to experience just the EXACT 
 same thing when booting 6.2 Release AMD64 on my brand new Dell E521 (AMD 
 64 4200+ X2, nVidia Geforce 6150). After some googling it seems that a 
 BIOS upgrade fixes this. I went from bios version 1.0.3 to 1.1.4 and 
 then booted FreeBSD 6.2 Release AMD64 without any problems (although I 
 haven't installed it (yet)). I haven't looked at the i386 version yet... 
 On a side note: This problem is repeating itself all the way into 
 Linuxland and is/was widely discussed in the Dell forums, so I assume 
 it's not a strictly BSDish related problem. Please note however that 
 this report is probably the same as 104810.
 
 Dell E521 Bios update:

 HTH,

Jacco submitted information that this could be resolved with a bios 
upgrade. Can you please look into the details mentioned here? I will 
place the PR into feedback mode and grab it.

State-Changed-Why:  
The submitter mentions that he no longer has the hardware (returned to 
vendor) , therefor we cannot resolve this. If someone has feedback 
whether the bios upgrade that Jacco mentioned works or not, please 
notify me!
