So it doesn't boot at all, that's different from "hard-hang during reboot". :) After ppc your device probe is over. You could be getting an interrupt storm.

Ok, I have a question now. How did ata get probed before? If you add hints for it does it get probed? It doesn't appear to be a PCI device. It may be that we need to make it work as an ATA attachment somehow. Also, did ata1 show up before? >> Iwasaki-San's patch adds back in the only part of the extra "bogus" >> stuff that legacy took out that could have an effect on your system >> with respect to PCI. > > Ok. But it doesn't work. :-( Well, it does fix some things since we now find your PCI devices. Assuming that works that is all that legacy changed. Adding legacy didn't change anything wrt ata(4). Did you used to have hints for ata and now don't perchance? -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
