If I enable my ICH5R SATA controller in "native" mode, the 4.9-RC1 GENERIC kernel hangs solidly (only the system reset button can unwedge it) during device configuration. The last line of bootstrap monologue written by the kernel is: plip0" on ppbus0 If I do a "boot -v", the kernel continues with: bpf: lp0 attached ed0: not probed (disabled) fe0: not probed (disabled) ie0: not probed (disabled) lnc0: not probed (disabled) cs0: not probed (disabled) sn0: not probed (disabled) isa-probe-children: probing PnP devices before it hangs. If I boot with the ICH5R SATA enabled in legacy mode, the kernel does not hang. It continues from this point with the output: BIOS Geometries: 0: 03fffe4f 0..1023=1024 cylinders, 0..254=255 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 1: ... ... and so forth. The system finishes booting and /stand/sysinstall starts. I would guess that the bug is in the ata controller/disk driver. The 4.9-20030914-PRERELEASE GENERIC kernel also hangs if the ICH5R SATA controller is enabled in native mode, though not at the same point. It wedges when the controller is first probed.
