>Number: 3059 >Category: kern >Synopsis: 2.2 RELEASE hangs during or immediately after boot >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Mar 22 02:00:02 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Donn Miller >Organization: >Release: 2.2 RELEASE >Environment: not available >Description: While booting 2.2-RELEASE, hangs immediately after displaying "probing for devices on the ISA bus" - can't go any further. On one occasion computer locked up after displaying the root prompt. Does not always lock up, though - some boots are succesful. About 30-40% success rate. Computer is a 386SX. >How-To-Repeat: Reset computer. Boot into FreeBSD RELEASE 2.2. Boot enough times until computer hangs. Boot on 386sx if possible. >Fix: Don't know. I think maybe it is using the wrong bus speed to probe the ISA bus. (If it is even relevant). Had similar problems with 3.0-SNAPxxx (3.0 CURRENT); problems went away when kernel was recompiled. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
