Hello FreeBSD gurus!
I have a question for you.
We have a small mounster: HP Proliant BL20
two Xeon processors, 2Gb RAM, QLogic SCSI
2312, and some other scary characteristics.
Now, I installed FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE almost
accidentally. I mean, it seemed to me that
our computer got frozen when it was booting
with the FreeBSD CDROM, no, it didn't,
it was just taking 10 minutes to check the
scsi card.
My kernel boot log says:

There, in the GIANT-LOCKEDs and timeouts...
Now, my computer boots ok, but the booting process
takes 20 minutes!!!
I also cvsup-graded my computer, built world, installed it,
customized my kernel, installed it. Now the kernel
reports to be FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 but still takes
20 minutes to boot.
My questions are:
WHY it takes so long?
Can I do something to fix this problem?
Please, CC your answer to my address, I'm not subscribed to the list.
Thanks in advance.
Eduardo.
