Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello! I'm attempting to install 2.2-BETA_A on a SiS Pentium 100 system, and the ncr startup locks the system up just after ncr0 waiting for devices to settle This machine works perfectly with 2.2-ALPHA. I've booted -c and reduced the devices to the bare necessities with no change. System Specifics: Sis 54P chipset, Pentium 100 CPU, 32MB RAM NCR 53c815 SCSI controller w/ SDMS 3.0 BIOS Connected devices: Plextor 4PlexPLus CDROM Sony CDU-76S CDROM NE2000 network card ATI Mach64 video Probe from 2.2-ALPHA follows: ncr0 rev 3 int a irq 11 on pci0:13 ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle <-- 2.2-BETA stops here (ncr0:3:0): "PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-4XCE 1.00" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ncr0:3:0): CD-ROM cd0(ncr0:3:0): FAST SCSI-2 175ns (6 Mb/sec) offset 8. cd present [263729 x 2048 byte records] (ncr0:4:0): "SONY CD-ROM CDU-76S 1.1c" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd1(ncr0:4:0): CD-ROM cd1(ncr0:4:0): 200ns (5 Mb/sec) offset 8. cd1(ncr0:4:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 cd1(ncr0:4:0): Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed cd present [400000 x 2048 byte records] The SCSI devices to receive the bus reset, as the lights on the CDROMs light up, but that's all. The floppy drive light is stuck on and the keyboard LEDs don't function when the lockup occurs. There were no changes to the system configuration between shutting down 2.2-ALPHA and booting the BETA floppy. Sorry for taking so long to report this; today is the only time I've had to try plugging in BETA. Boot -v and other information available by request.
