Hello,
Today I tried to install HardenedBSD on one of my servers running amd64
(non Intel) and booting install image fails with a reboot. I was able to
boot FreeBSD 11.2-STABLE and HardenedBSD 10-STABLE, but not 11. I was
also able to install 10-STABLE and upgrade to 11, but upon reboot the
same thing happens: machine just reboot at some point. I can try
HardenedBSD and FreeBSD 12, just for comparison, but if the problem
persists, how can I (or someone more knowleable) debug this? I can leave
unencrypted swap and boot USB image to collect crash dump if any is
created. I can even install 10-STABLE and slowely upgrade if you tell me
how to do that.
Regards,
meka

Could you tell us the specs of the box? Would taking a video of the
bootup (and posting it somewhere, of course) be possible? If so, make
sure to boot in verbose mode.
The more info you can give us, the better. :)
Thanks,

Meka,
What architecture? AMD? I might have a spare AMD board (if that's it)
sitting around to see if I get the same results. I just finished a fresh
HBSD 11.2 install without a problem, albeit it was on an Intel with UEFI
boot.

I just remembered that some AMD CPUs have an issue with PTI, which

HardenedBSD enables by default, regardless of whether the CPU is
vulnerable to Meltdown.
Can you try booting HardenedBSD 11-STABLE with vm.pmap.pti=0 set in
the bootloader?

Somehow I missed your replies, sorry. I found that the last working image is https://installer.hardenedbsd.org/pub/HardenedBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/hardenedbsd-11-stable-20180509-1/. I will test PTI first thing tomorrow. Thanx!

That was it. The server is working like a charm. Thank you so much!
