Sorry, I think this is the same problem I was having with the Tyan S2895 and its LSI 1030 controller (see earlier thread "7-CURRENT 8/15/06 hangs: Tyan s2895 LSI 1030 mpt"). I spent a lot of time trying to get the issues narrowed down, and was able to get the thing booting either by disabling the onboard LSI 1030 and putting in an add-on 1030-R (RAID/Mirroring capable) card or by cvsing back to prior to July 12. Unfortunately, I got caught up with other stuff over the weekend and didn't send the email. I wish I could have been more help. Anyway, it looks like Matthew has committed the patch he posted earlier and I am now able to boot a new kernel just fine on the S2895 with the onboard controller. The really awesome news is that this kernel appears to work just fine with an out-of-the-box S2895 with SCSI disks; it requires none of the BIOS gyrations that 6-STABLE still does. Moreover the nfe driver lets me push almost line rate gigabit through the onboard interfaces. Great work all around! I wish I could have been more help. michael
