Not real sure where to start with this one, thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas. The machine has a creator3d card stuck in the upa slot, a single hd on the UW-scsi controller, and a single cd-rom on the same - nothing else inside. Anytime I compile a kernel with: device sc in the config file, the kernel freezes on bootup with: Nothing to autoload yet. jumping to kernel entry at 0xc00400000. At this point the monitor I have on the creator card goes completely white, regardless of if I have the type 5 keyboard/mouse hooked up or boot of a serial terminal. I can't get to ddb, or drop into it after the kernel freezes. The problem has been reproducable since syscons became functional on sparc64 - Now that I finally have some time to dig into the problem, I've tried it in the last day with sources off the 5.2-beta iso as well as -current cvs'd yesterday. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether or not "device ofw_console" is left in the kernel or removed. I'm kinda at a loss where to go from here, given where the machine freezes - hints? ideas? Thanks everyone, - Matt
