This is a Dell 4way PIII 500. I think this is a different issue and is not
specific to the hifn. I think I am just using the hifn in this case to
trigger the lockup. The lockup in this case totally locks the box as in
the video disappears and I loose my serial console access. At first, I
thought it was related to the AMR card inside. Taking that away allowed me
to boot and install RELENG_5 ok. RELENG_6 would lock up when probing the
ata code. Removing that fromt he kernel seemed to fix it provided I had
hw.apic.enable_extint=1. But removing the AMR and putting in an adaptec
brings back the problem.
Note, if I install RELENG_4, either with a UP or SMP kernel, I am not able
to crash the box. So it seems to be something in RELENG_5 and above that
does not play well with this server.
