We understand that the STPC has problems running FreeBSD; we haven't been able to resolve the issues we have with the sample board we have. But the symptom you're describing is quite different; the only way you are going to be able to resolve your issue is to build a kernel with DDB enabled, break to the debugger at the top of init386 and then single-step your way through until it falls over. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
