When you boot, go into the CLI based kernel config mode and enter di #device# Where #device# is the device that freezes up when probing your $#%#$%# AMD PCI SCSI. For example, if it locks up on probing ahc, enter: di ahc You can do other configuration changes as well. When done, enter "q" and the kernel will boot. Good luck, Bill >>> I have been running FreeBSD 3.2 on a system forever. It is an SMP system. At that time, the onboard AMD PCI SCSI adapter was not supported. I am trying to upgrade to release 4.2. I tried source and that is failing. I have even seen some people upgrade to release 3.5 and the go forward. 3.5 kernel hangs during reboot. So I am getting desperate. I am trying to boot from floppies and do a binary upgrade. I figured I can just reupgrade from source after that and I will be OK. Now here's the problem. This $#%#$%# AMD PCI SCSI now seems to be supported. As soon as it hit this, I lock up tight. How do I tell the kernel to ignore a PCI device that is probed? I know how to do the others. Any help would be appreciated. <<< To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
