There is however a workaround which is to disable the use of DMA on the devices (in the loader.conf file). if you don't the system hangs during boot. I have only sporadic access to one, but I don't have one myself which makes it hard to test more.. I have not tested it on 5.x yet..

I can get correct model numbers, etc. if helpful. This is a 4.8-RELEASE installation. I had to reboot the first time with an old 4.4 GENERIC leftover from installation, and I saw no errors, but after compiling a uniprocessor kernel I started seeing the above behavior. Although, I left it for awhile and eventually the machine does boot after about 30 of the MODE_SENSE_BIG, resetting devices lines. > > -Will > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
