I'm able to boot, if I boot from serial console and am careful not to tickle the vga driver too much i.e. interact with the machine over the network or over the serial console. The moment I try to do anything on vga consoles, I get a hang. Another observation: even when booting from the serial console, when the vga driver probes/attaches the hardware, I see garbage written on my vga console. I tested that 11/25 kernel also has this problem. The problem didn't happen with DP1. -Arun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
