>Environment:
System: FreeBSD bcserv2.klements.com 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #2: Thu Sep 27 12:04:21 CDT 2001 klemscot@bcserv2.klements.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/BCSERV i386
The same problem occurs in 4.2-RELEASE and 4.3-RELEASE as well.
Problem has occurred on Dell OptiPlex GX100 and GX150.
>Description:
System will stop responding ("hard-lock") while probing devices
as part of the booting process whenever a Cyclades Cyclom-Y/PCI
card is installed & configured in the kernel.
This same symptom occurs when booting both single-user mode and
when booting to multi-user mode.
The same symptom occurs both when "options CY_PCI_FASTINTR" is
enabled in the kernel and also when it is not enabled.
I believe that this is a software issue because the problem
does NOT occur under RedHat Linux, on the same machines. I've
tried it with 3 different (known working) Cyclades units,
and with 3 different computers (2 Dell Optiplex GX100, 1 GX150)
The same Cyclades units do work under FreeBSD with a different
(non-Dell) computer system.
>How-To-Repeat:
Enable "device cy" in a kernel on a Dell OptiPlex GX100 or GX150
system, and install the Cyclades card, cable & ports. When you
re-boot, it will hard-lock.
>Fix:
Turn the computer off. Remove the "ports" (the white box with all
of the DB25 connectors) from the cable. Turn the computer back on.
You won't be able to use Cyclom device, but the system will boot.
