ATAPI_RESET time = 90us acd0: CDRW at ata1-master UDMA33 em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex Interrupt storm detected on "irq18: em0 uhci2"; throttling interrupt source I also get a bunch of error messages of the form: unknown: can't assign resources (port) and copies of this message: ahc3: No resources allocated. (which is a little odd since there is no ahc3). --------------------------- The system is a 2.8 GHz hyperthreaded P4 on a Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard (Intel 875/ICH5R support chips) and 1 GB of main memory. Additional information about the system and its behavior under FreeBSD is available on request, but you have to be specific about what you want. Remember that since the system won't finish device configuration, I have to manually copy the messages off the screen onto paper and then type them back into my email program. --------------------------- Summary: I am rather disturbed because I can't even get the generic kernel to boot. If 5.3 is declared "stable" under these circumstances, I could end up Microsoft Creek without a paddle. P.S. Release 4.10 works fine on my machine but doesn't support some of the modern motherboard devices very well. Release 5.1 seemed to boot ok but my ps2 mouse randomly failed due to ACPI problems. Release 5.2/5.2.1 would boot only with ACPI disabled and then failed to configure the interrupt for my ethernet interface. Now 5.3 BETA won't boot at all. Each new release of 5.x seems slightly more problematic than the previous release. Bummer ... Dan Strick strick@covad.net
