The following reply was made to PR kern/34965; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Francois Pollet <freebsd@perceval.net> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, freebsd@perceval.net Cc: Subject: Re: kern/34965: 4.4, 4.5 freeze at boot time on ASUS P2B series MBs (P2B-B) Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2002 17:52:19 +0100 > This was reported by someone on the lists, and upgrading to the latest > BIOS (xxx13) fixed it for them. At the early beginning of our investigations, we suspected a SCSI problem and we upgraded our 2940UW BIOS to 2.20. Finaly, after having tested the 4.4 boot CD with the same SCSI adapter and drive on a P4-B, we saw that the acd0 was detected AFTER the plip0 but BEFORE the SCSI drives. We suspected then a problem with the P2B-B BIOS settings. Our ASUS P2B-B motherboard was already configured with the latest official BIOS (10.11). We tried the latest 10.13beta7 this morning. I confirm that the latest BIOS release for the P2B-B does NOT fix the problem. After reseting the MB BIOS settings to the 'Setup Defaults', the USB IRQ is activated with the side effect that the problem seems to be fixed as explained in the workaround ... The workaround is enough except for those using many adapters that require specific IRQs (if all slots in use ...) Regards, Francois.
