I could not decide which list to post, so here it goes. I can not boot with very recent sources. I have FreeBSD 5.3-BETA2 #0: Tue Aug 31 22:36:53 EEST 2004 sources with cvsup. This kernel locks during boot, before mounting disks, and most probably during identification of disks. BETA1 was locked previously, too. By "lock" I mean first main console freeze, after several seconds keybord lights freeze. Keyboard does not work. Screen stays same. Only reset from case or re-cycling the power helps. There is no core dump or log. Below is the output of the screen of a verbose boot: After initializin "lo0" there is two times below paragraph and system locks: --- ata0: reinit channel .. ata0: reset tp1 mask=03 ostat=50 ostat1=50 ata0-master: stat=0x50 err=0x01 lsb=0x00 msb=0x00 ata0-slave: stat=0x10 err=0x01 lsb=0x14 msb=0xeb ata0: reset tp2 stat0=50 stat1=10 devices=0x9 ata0: resetting done .. --- I do not have this problem with my old kernel "FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Thu Jul 1 22:40:57 EEST 2004". It is world built and have codes around same date that kernel has: Today, I tried again with yesterday evening sources. Now, I read "BETA3" during boot. Same problem persist. Hope above helps to find the problem. Regards, Ertan Kucukoglu
