I also see this with the generic 3.0-RELEASE kernel. I had to disable probes until I got the boot to succeed. This was on all of my machines running 3.0-RELEASE (two older 486's and a P-233) I disabled every ethernet device (during boot) and got everything to go. Then; after I got a system running, I remade kernels with only the devices I care about, and the problem went away. I should do a binary search to determine exactly which probe seems to lock up the machines - but one of them surely does (again, with 3.0-RELEASE) if the hardware you're probing for isn't there. [I waited for 30 minutes just to make sure it wasn't a time-out problem.] - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
