[PATCH v16 00/18] osstest: initial FreeBSD support

[PATCH v16 00/18] osstest: initial FreeBSD support

[Roger Pau Monne]

Hello,

This are again the remaining non-acked patches of the FreeBSD osstest
series. The two patches sent with this cover letter fix two issues
found on the Mass colo.

Patch 17 fixes an issue where the FreeBSD installer bootloader
receives random keystrokes on the console, thus aborting the automatic
boot. The solution is to create an installer that doesn't wait for any
keystrokes and just boots into the default kernel. FWIW this only
happens when booting the installer image from pxelinux + memdisk, I
haven't seen it happening when booting FreeBSD once installed to disk.
In some spare free time I might try to figure out what's actually
going on, but this bodge seems like the easiest solution ATM.

Patch 18 adds more disk controllers to the list of proved devices in
order to find the hard drive. This was found while trying to install
on nobling, which has some kind of RAID controller. Now all the
possible disk drivers have been added to the list, so we shouldn't
expect further problems for the time being.

I've pushed the whole series to:

git://xenbits.xen.org/people/royger/osstest.git freebsd_v16

I've also created and anointed a new install image with patch 17
applied. This image is using the same revision as the one already
anointed, but without the loader delay. I've run an examine flight
with the image, and it passed on all the hosts, it's flight 115723
(there are other issues with not being able to fetch the logs due to a
mess up with my ssh keys, those can be ignored).

So I think now Ian can run another examine flight, with blessing real
that will hopefully succeed on all the boxes.

After that the rest of the series should be pushed, and
`cr-daily-branch freebsd-master` should be added to the cron job.

Note that currently due to issues on upstream the build will fail.
This is expected and I've already sent a bug report upstream [0]. I
expect it will get fixed at some point.

Thanks, Roger.

[PATCH v16 17/18] osstest: remove the loader timeout from the install image

[Roger Pau Monne]

When the FreeBSD installer is booted on the godello{0/1} boxes it
receives spurious key strokes. This doesn't happen so far when booted
from disk, or with any other boxes.

In order to cope with this remove the loader timeout on the install
image. Note that failure to boot will still drop the loader into a
manual prompt.

[PATCH v16 18/18] osstest: expand the list of tested disk controllers

[Roger Pau Monne]

The Mass osstest instance has a more diverse list of hardware disk
controllers, so expand the list in order to include all the possible
disk drivers.

For the record, this list can be found at:

usr.sbin/bsdconfig/share/device.subr

In the FreeBSD source tree.
