Poul,
rev.1.108 of sys/dev/md/md.c somehow prevents proper booting of
picobsd images -- i am seeing that over etherboot, but i believe
it also happens with floppy based kernels.
The symptoms are, with 1.108, the kernel output on the console
stops at the point indicated by ---> below, whereas reverting to
1.107 makes the boot process proceed.
unknown: <PNP0c01> can't assign resources (port)

Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec

g_provider 0xc68c7080 disappeared while tasting
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0
Loading /etc from MFS:/fd ...
This is with a freshly checked tree.
I tried with older trees (which is how i found out the problem),
and the problem appears between these two releases:
lcvs update -Pd -D'20031118 10:18 PST' sys # works
lcvs update -Pd -D'20031118 10:20 PST' sys # hangs
The above output was obtained with the following versions:
lcvs update -Pd -r HEAD sys # still hangs
lcvs update -Pd -r 1.107 sys/dev/md/md.c # works
Is this something easy to fix ? I am not familiar with the geom changes
to tell...
cheers
luigi
