The machine hung hard right after probing for sio0, which it also detected as an 8250. Another time, the machine just went into hyperspace somewhere during probing or just after...started displaying all sorts of random garbage on the screen (looked vaguely like catting an executable) and then there was some sort of panic. (I do not recall exactly what I did or did not disable during that boot.) I noted a message just before the sio probe about its interrupt not being in some map. I don't know if this is significant. I got the machine to boot by disabling all unneeded devices. Later, I built a custom kernel and the machine is now humming along nicely taking in a couple of newsfeeds. I haven't tried re-enabling the serial ports, as I don't need them for that machine. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
