Subject: Heads-up: 64-bit x86 boot -v regression fixed
My putback of
6338634 pci config-space routines really need to be present early in base kernel
on Monday introduced a panic/reboot on 64-bit machines when booting with -v; the
details are in the bugs I just put back. But that regression is now fixed with
the putback of
6343446 Very early calls to cmn_err() can cause problems
6343055 cpu_pri_data is not set until startup_init(); means amd64 can't
splx() until then
Apologies if you tried to boot with -v and got a reset; the new code fixes that
issue, and makes it less likely that someone else will trip on it.
In summary: between Monday and today, boot -v on amd64 would reset the machine;
the workaround was not to use -v; now, the code will work with or without -v.
