Problem is intermittent but it does not take many attempts to get the system to freeze. So far, have only seen this problem on a Quad Processor Goliath 730 based system. Note that there is *no* painc, no diagnostics, nothing. System goes completely catatonic. October 1997 Snapshots, 3.0 release and 3.1 have all exhibited the same behaviour in the past. Please contact me if for Kernel configuration, hardware configuration, etc. >How-To-Repeat: Simply perform I/O to the floppy. Formatting, DD, anything that deals with the floppy on a Goliath 730 based machine seems to have a 50-50 chance of causing a "hang". >Fix: Don't use the floppy drive and these systems work just fine. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
