> Is the answer to this in a related PR?
No. the answer to Mr Pandya is not in this or other PR as I could not make
sense of
his suggestion (I should have answered anyway).
Notice the ne2000 (ISA card) was/is not using the IRQ assigned to the pci.
When I remove the ISA NE200 card from the box the machine boots without
any problem (which confirms Mr Pandya observation misses the real problem).
Reading the followups in the other PRs
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=26686
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=18201
sheds lights on the problem, and also suggests a solution originally
proposed by G.W.Roberts <mas039"@bangor.ac.uk> on 27-Apr-2001.
There is certainly a duplication of the PR, but at the time I wrote those
I did not know. May I suggest you collect the relevant info in the latest
PR's
with references to the other (probably to-be-closed ones)?
Thanks for such a timely and good "user support" work!
