Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 09:03:53 +0000 (UTC) Hi, here it is an IBM System x3250. If booting via pxe or from the SATA disk attached to an mpt(4) everything is fine. Booting from a CF connected via a CF-to-PATA adaptor (the CDROM was disconneted) I get the following stack trace continously scrolling on vidconsonle. No matter what I tried I could not get it on comconsole where everything else appeared. So this is hand transcribed from a camera picture. int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00010046 eip=000090d8 eax=00000011 ebx=0000e401 ecx=00000000 edx=0000f000 esi=00000000 edi=00006459 ebp=000003e2 esp=00001800 cs=0008 ds=0000 es=0000 fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=0010 cs:eip=0f 01 15 00 97 00 00 66-ea e5 90 18 00 b1 20 8e d1 8e d9 8e c1 8e e1 8e-e9 48 0f 22 c0 ea fa 90 ss:esp=0a 69 6e 74 3d 30 30 30-30 30 30 30 64 20 20 65 72 72 3d 30 30 30 30 30-30 30 30 20 20 65 66 6c BTX halted Thinking that it only seems to happen on the PATA ports, there is also another PR: i386/72960: BTX halted with Promise Tx2000 Raid The IBM server here says: atapci0@pci0:0:31:1: class=0x01018a card=0x03461014 chip=0x27df8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 class = mass storage subclass = ATA atapci0: port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0x30a0-0x30af at device 31.1 on pci0 ata0: on atapci0 ata0: [ITHREAD] ata1: on atapci0 ata1: [ITHREAD] And that's the CF card: ad0: 976MB at ata0-master PIO4 (obviously I got this info after booting from mpt/disk) -- Bjoern A.
