>Organization:
Perceval Technologies
>Environment:
GENERIC kernel (original floppies) on i386
ASUS P2B-B motherboard
ATA CD-ROM
Adaptec AHA2940UW

>Description:
FreeBSD 4.4 and 4.5 hangs at boot time during device detection.

Kernel boot is OK
Device selection is OK
Devices detection hangs after serial (sioX) and parallel (ppcX) ports
detection. The last line printed is:
 plip0 ....

It seems that some kind of conflict happens between ppc0 and ATA/SCSI
drives detection.

The same hardware works without any trouble during a FreeBSD 4.3
installation.

>How-To-Repeat:
Restart the machine ...     
>Fix:
Do not know the fix, but the workaround is:

! Enable the USB interrupt in the P2B Motherboard BIOS config !

No jumper exist on the MB to disable the USB ports, but those
who do not need USB usualy disable the IRQ to keep one more
IRQ free. DON'T DO THAT !

This is probably due to some changes in the usb code
between 4.3 and 4.4 ?
